Texas has long been dedi-
cated to the ideal of a strong
system of education. Special
emphasis on our education
system has been marked
annu illy for more than
thirty years by Texas Public
Schools Week.
During the special week of
March 7 - 11, parents and
taxpayers are encouraged to
visit the public schools and
recognize the tremendous
importance our education
system has on our commu-
nity. The better the system,
the bette) the quality of life
for our citizens.
Never before in our history
has there been a gi'eater
need for an educated citi-
zenry. Business and a high
quality of life demands an
educated workforce, and
today's schools train that
workforce.
Special activities are
planned for Jacksboro Public
Schools that will be an-
nounced at a later date.

Community groups and
individuals concerned with
the increasing numbers of
neighbors and friends going
hungry, including the local
"working-poor", have one
answer; growing food with
free seeds given for that pur-
pose.
Since 1980 a handful of
workers in a tiny cramped
Washington, DC, office have
assisted tens of thousands of
local groups grow food for
unfortunate neighbors and
make towns more beautiful.
The non-profit organiza-
tion, America the Beautiful
Fund, started "Operation
Green Plant" as a way for
towns and cities to both
beautify with flowers and
plantings, and to feed the
needy.
Last year ABF shipped
tons of free food or flower
seed to over six thousand
local groups in all 50 States.
These groups in turn grew
over seven million dollars of
food for nearby hungry ...
beautified local parks, road-
ways, and other town areas.
Participating across the
nation are church groups,
scout troops, local food pan-
tries, farmers, civic clubs,
individual land-owners and
countless others.
Over sixty corporations
and foundations support
ABF's Operation Green
Plant program for Ameri-
cans to solve the growing
hunger problem at the local
level; on vacant land, back-
yards, empty city lots, idle
farm land - in and on any
nook, cranny or field where
food may be grown.
ABF packs and distidbutes
the seed, provides free guid-
ance and assistance to local
groups involved in growing
the food - including organ-
izational help for new
groups - local fundraising

LEROY FITZGERALD
COMMISSIONER PRECINCT 3
I went to work for the Engineering Division of the Texas Highway
Department September 1,1950 and worked as a Construction Inspec-
tor and Surveyor for 29 years, except for time spent in the service
during the Korean War.
I was asked, in September 1979, to take over the maintenance
section in Jack County as Maintenance Supervisor. In that position I
am responsible for repairing and upgrading 273 miles of roads, the
supervision of eighteen employees, and the responsibilty of managing
a budget in excess of 1 million dollars a year.
I will leave the department in August with 38 years experience.
No one knows better than I do that good roads are very important
and necessary, but managing a budget and tax dollars is also very
important. If elected I will be a fulltime Commissioner with no other
outside interests.
I am doing my best to see each and every one. If I miss you, I
apologize.
I will appreciate your vote and influence.

The so-called "cough reflex" is a protective mechanism that the
