gone. I had to put them to sleep. ”
Last Friday, in addition to the
old Cocker Spaniel, she used
euthanasia on 12 dogs and cats.
“Almost any of them could have
been good pets,” she said sadly.
“And today, (Fridays are the
day she generally does the
euthanasia) everything has to go
except fpr the ones we’ve mention-
ed. There are two elderly dogs that
will go and I need to get rid of
some other sick ones to free up
some cages.”
H.E.B. donates the dog food for
the shelter.
Anyone wanting a pet should
contact her, through the Bastrop
Police Department. If one adopts,
the fee is a mere $15, “which
covers the general care at the
shelter. Everything else is the new
owner’s responsibility. I ask them
to get the animal its shots and have
them neutered but we don’t de-
mand it by law or agreement.”
Betty feels that behavior toward
animals is learned at an early age
and she offers her services to day
care centers and to the public
schools “up through the Middle
School.” She has tapes and other
materials and believes in educating
a child about the responsibilities
toward a pet.
‘ ‘People just don’t seem to know
any better. It’s the way they’re
brought up. We live in a throw-
away society. People just say, <>
‘Don’t worry, son, we’ll get you
another,’ then move on and leave
the family dog behind to slowly
starve or be hit and killed or injured
by a car.”
Unfortunately in the county,
there are even iess options.

“I get at least 10 calls a day,
week in, year round,” said Diana
Voytek at the Bastrop Veterinarian
Hospital on Highway 95 toward
Elgin.
“People call and ask ‘what do I
do? Someone’s dumped off kittens,
or a dog, or a dog and its puppies. ’
I have to tell them that the options,
unless they can keep the animal for
a pet, are not pleasant.”
She continued, “In Bastrop
County, people can keep the
animal. They can take it to Austin
to the Humane Society and hope
it’s adoptable. They can put fui ad
in the Advertiser and hope so-
meone will reclaim it or adopt it.
They can bring it to us for
euthanasia. Or they can shoot it
themselves in the head.”
Week in, week out, year round.

Cheerleaders
teach clinic
in Smithville
Smithville high cheerleaders last
week conducted a cheerleading
clinic for area girls; aged 4-11 at
the Smithville High gymnasium.
The girls were taught dances,
cheers and stunts as part of their
cheerleading routines.
The clinic was conducted to raise
funds so the Smithville cheerlead-
ers could travel to the National
Collegiate Athletic Association
cheerleading camp which will be
held at Texas A & I University July
24-27.
Smithville High coach Andrea
Ward said they charged $25 per
girl who registered for the Smith-
ville clinic and $20 per girl in a fa-
mily that registered more than one.
Ward said if more interest is
shown in the clinic, they might do
it again. July 30-August 3 is the
tenative date for a future clinic.
Any interested parent should con-
tact Ward at 237-4866.
Youngsters learn dances and stunts at the Smithville Cheerlead-
ers Clinic last week.

Jack Shanks was exuberant at the
prospect of additional funding.
“We’re pleased the governor and
legislature have behaved responsi-

masters control,” he said. “I ob-

their responsibility to the courts.

Under the court masters plan, ac-
cording to Shanks, SISD would
have received an additional
$201,000. Under the compromise,
SISD will receive about $350,000
in additional funding.
Shanks praised the legislators for
their courage in approving a tax
bill, “it took some courage,” he
said.
Last November, a Texas Poll in-
dicated 69 percent of those polled
favored increasing state taxes to
pay for education.
The new taxes will take effect
immediately.
County farmers interviews
included in national survey
Although some of us may have
trouble getting from “here” to
‘ ‘there,’’Louise Chrisman of New
Braunfels has no problem finding
her way as she travels the back
country roads with only a stock
tank or windmill as a landmark.
Beginning June 1, Chrisman will
once again fill up the gas tank and
log many travel miles, as she be-
gins interviewing farmers and
ranchers in Bastrop County for a
national agricultural survery. 1990
may be the year to count people,
but Chrisman is going to be busy
counting livestock and collecting
data on crop acres.
Information gathered on this
confidential survey will be used to
make state and national estimates
of crop acres, live stock invento-
ries and grain stocks, information
that is vitally important to the
producers in Bastrop County,
Chrisman said.
‘ ‘These estimates are a working
tool farmers and ranchers can use
in their production, marketing and
investment decisions and are the
only unbiased information source
available,” state statistician Den-
nis Findley reported.
Survey information will be ex-
tremely important this year in
measuring crop and live stock loss-
es from the severe flooding across
north and east Texas.
Field enumerators provide a bas-
ic link in lthe data collection serv-
ice of the Texas office, since they
are the primary personal contact
Texas producers have with the
agency. Currently there are over
100 field enumerators working on
farm and ranch survey across the
state.
Most of the enumerators have an
agricultural background and are
familiar with the many day-to-day
problems facing Texas producers.
“Like the farmers and ranchers
they are interviewing, our enumer-
ators also deal with low prices and
severe weather conditions at har-
vest and mother cows that wait un-
til 3:00a.m to calve,” Findley
added.
The June Agricultural Survey is
the largest of a series of surveys
conducted throughout the year by
the Texas office. The random sam-
ple of producers selected for this
survey represent a broad cross-
section of Texas agriculture, and
producers selected for this survey
represent other operators of simi-
lar size and type.
“Our field enumerators will be
putting in some long hours during
the next two weeks,” Findley
reported, “but their hard work is
the only way to provide Texas
producers with accurate^ reliable
agricultural information.”
