IHE HOWE ENTERFR'SE, THURSDAY OCTOBER 2». 1976 RAGE FOUR
.....
.
8th Grade Wins First
Howe’s eighth grade Bull-
dogs chalked up their first Win
of the 1976 football .season
Thursday, trouncing the Van
alstyne Panthers, 20-8.
Meanwhile, the seventh
grade remained undefeated
with a 29-0 shellacking of Van.
For the eighth grade the
game was a fitting follow-up to
their game agains Pilot Point
the week before in which they
put on a fine offensive show
but came out the loser.
This time, they continued to
show their offense, but the
defense toughened up, and
victory resulted.
The Bulldogs scored in each
of the first three quarters. The
first came on a 30-yard pass
play from Jeff Murdock to-
Brad 'Reynolds. The con-
version attempt failed.
Texas Honey
Decline Seen'
A USTIN--Unfavorable
weather conditions and
heavy insecticide spraying
have resulted in a reduction
in the anticipated 1976
Texas honey production.
According to Agriculture
Commissioner John C.
White, commercial apiaries
are expected to produce
5.400.000 pounds of honey
this year, down from
7.488.000 pounds in 1975
and 6,100,000 pounds in
1974.
The average yield is down,
from 72 pounds last year to1
only 45 pounds.
“Production suffered
throughout the state because
of a cool, wet spring
followed by an extremely
dry 'summer,” White
explained. “In addition,
necessary spraying of
insecticides for crops caused
losses and decreased
production in some
apiaries.”
U.S. commercial honey
production is being
estimated at' 106 million
pounds, about one percent
below last year but five
percent more than 1974.
-Then with 10 seconds re-
maining in the half, Murdock
again hit Reynolds for a 15-
yard touchdown play. Jeff
Hawkins scored the extra
points on a dive and the half-
time score was 14-0.
The final Howe TD came in
the third quarter as Jeff Haw-
kins sprinted in from the 12-
yard line. The conversion
attempt failed.
The Bulldogs were effective
both in the air and on the
ground in the game. Murdock
threw well all evening, and
Reynolds had 5 receptions for
more than 100 yards. Jeff
Hawkins had his best running
game of the year. Coach Tom-
my Skipworth has special
praise for the work of his
offensive line, led by David
Turner and Gary Williams.
The defensive secondary of
Reynolds, Thomas Pettit, Phil-
lip Stephens, allowd only one.
pass completion all evening.'
Skipworth also commended
the defensive work of John
Cantelmo and Richard Hawk-
ins.
The seventh grade, in upping
its records to six wins and one
tie, got a brief scare \yhen a
Van Asltyne back nearly broke
free for a touchdown on the
first series after the kickoff,
but then, on Howe’s first play
from scrimmage Jeff Farris
raced around right end of 79
raced around right end for a
79-yard touchdown, and from
there it was easy sledding.
After Howe kicked off to Van
following the TD, the Panthers
fumbled on the second play
frcm scrimmage on the Van
27. Farris ran 22 yards to th-
5, and Mark Woodbridge took
it over ori an end-around play.
Howe put it out of reach with
a 2-yard touchdown plunge by
Farris after Van had kicked
from the 3, got it only to' the
15, and the Bulldogs moved it
in on four plays.
The final touchdown qime in
the fading seconds of the
game after Jimmy Echols went
back to pass, couldn’t find a
receiver and ran 25 yards to
the 10. On the next play Kent
Allen took it in to make it 29-0.
The junior high teams will
face Sanger at home this
thursday with the seventh
grade game beginning at 5
and the eighth grade game
about 6:30.
For the eighth grade there is
some doubt about whether
quarterback Jeff Murdock will
see action this week. A knee
injury suffered two weeks ago
has begun giving him trouble
again, and he is under a
doctor’s care.
Howe Man, 42, Killed
When Struck by Auto
A 42-year-old Howe resident was killed early last
Thursday morning when he was struck by a car as he was
walking to his job as Burlington Industries m Sherman.
Homer Whisenant was struck shortly before 6 a.m. by a
car driven by Harold F. Moore, 31, of Anna. It was dark
at the time, and Moore told Howe patrolman Kenneth
Vickers he did not see Whisenant in time to avoid the
accident.
Moore had just pulled off U.S. Highway 75 at the Rt.
902 exit in north Howe when his ear struck Whisenant
who was walking-north across the exit. '
Whisenant was pronounced dead at Wilson N. Jones
Hospital in Sherman.

President Ford understands our state, its economic interests, and its
dedication to principles. He is against union organizers trespassing on
our farms and ranches. He is against destroying our right-to-\york laws.
He is against dismantling our vital oil and gas industry. He is against
gun control. By any measure he is the best choice for Texas.

in the region, only Howe has
shown -a substantial increase
since 1970. Pottsboro and
Whitesboro have held about
steady, and Gainesville, Bon-
ham, Sherman .and Denison
have all experienced sharp re-
dactions in enrollment.
Howe’s enrollment increased
from 554 in 1970 to the 671
figure last year. Meanwhile,
Pottsboro had 713 in 1970 and
721 last year; Whitesboro, 867
and 870; Gainesboro, 3,068
and 2,863; Bonham, 2,236 and
2,077; Sherman, 7,175 and
5,877; and Denison, 6,383 and
5,608.
Supt. Glen Mitchell said the
Howe increase reflects the
overall growth of the Howe •
community since 1970, while
the other districts have re-
mained fairly stable in popu-
lation. School enrollment'in
many communities with stable
populations is decreasing, he
said, because the children -
from the post World War II
baby boom have all graduated,
and birth rates have declined
in recent years.
School districts in the Tex- ,
oma Region (other than the
seven listed previously) and
their 1975-76 enrollments are:

Sunflower flour
' AUSTIN, -Texas (Spl.) -
Sunflower flour packs protein
power that one day may make
two of the world’s most often .
eaten foods — bread and
snack chips — more
nutritious.
Drs. John B. Longenecker
and Margaret Briley of The
University of Texas Home
Economics Department are
conducting research involving
the development, improve-
ment and acceptance of bread
and snack chips that use
sunflower flour.
Their research may have
import for the problems of
food scarcity and malnutri-
tion, for sunflowers can be
grown in many areas of the
world, and humaris find the
mild, bland taste of the flour
acceptable.
Moon beams
AUSTIN, Texas (Spl.) -
Bouncing laser beams off a
reflector on the moon to
measure, the exact distance
’ between moon and earth has
-.been a seven-year success
story for astronomers at The
University of “.Texas
McDonald Observatory in
West Texas.
Now that.venture-will be ex-
panded.
A $1.3-million grant from
the National Aeronautics and-
Spaee Administration will
allow UT to build a mobile
lupar laser ranging station' to
rpake ' moon-earth
measurements from different
points on earth.
Measurements from fixed
(McDonald); and mobile
stations will be useful in un-
derstanding continental drift
and earthquakes.-
Marine studies
AUSTIN, Texas (Spl.) - A
new Department of Marine
Studies has been activated

SAVING
TIPS
on electric ranges
1. When using top-of-range
utensils, cover tightly and cook
with minimum of water.
Cooking’s faster; less energy’s
used. Food looks and tastes
better, too.
2. Usd flat-bottomed utensils for
best contact with heating
surface. Use proper size
utensils. A 6" pan on an 8"
heating surface wastes energy.
3. Preheat oven only when
needed and only to
temperature stated. Normal
preheat is 10 minutes; any
longer wastes energy.
4. When broiling, do not preheat.
Leave door ajar....air
circulation insures proper
broiling.
5. Use oven fully. Fill it with foods
that cook at same temperature.
Freeze extras for later use. -
6. Center pans in from oven sides,
staggered above each other
(no overlap) for best heat
distribution.
7. Keep oven shut. Opening door
drops temperature 25° or more;
wastes energy.
8. Thaw frozen meats before
cooking.
9. Do not use oven or surface
heating elements for home
heating.
10. Turn range off immediately
when finished.
Conserve electricity and you help
conserve one or more of the fuels
needed to produce it. Conserve
fuels and you help assure that
there will be enough to meet
essential needs for electricity in
the future.
When you pass a TP&L office,,
warehouse, generating plant or
other facility, you’ll see that we’ve
turned off all non-essential
lighting. And, in as many other
ways as possible, TP&L is reducing
its own uses of electricity.
If you would like additional
information on conserving
electricity, call the Customer
Service Representative in the
TP&L Office. -
