OPEN LETTER
The past few years we have
seemed to have lost sight of
what struggle, time and effort
our elders, living and passed
on, put forth to accomplish
such a fine school and com-
munity.
We have not handled our
problems with discretion, and
we hear our neighbors in com-
munities around us talking of
our inner trouble. It seems that
divisions have arisen between
us, and we no longer sit down
and reason together as the
Bible states that we should.
We all make mistakes as
none of us are made perfect,
but we have not extended a
helpful spirit always to correct
the problems that have sur-
faced. At a time when we hear
of guards standing in school
halls, riots, vandalism, school
closings and the need for large
bonds to be voted upon, we
should be our strongest and
thank God for the mercy and
goodness he has bestowed upon
us.
I have said in haste that I
don’t care any more, but this is
not true. It would be a waste to
forsake the greatness of the
effort that has been put forth in
our community. I am con-
cerned that we do not divide
ourselves to the extent that it
would be impossible to continue
to work together for the good of
the school and community. Let
us be careful to keep the fine
community spirit, and the will
to donate time and money for
special occasions from eroding.
This can only happen by uniting
our concern and efforts.
Let us stop and consider the
tireless effort of people in this
community to make this the
finest of places and work to-
gether to preserve and nourish
it.
Gene Bode
District Chairman Named
For Beef Referendum
Gene Newman of San Angelo
has been named a district
chairman of the Texas Beef
Development Taskforce
(BDT), a group working for a
beef program that will raise $30
million to $40 million a year to
improve the economic position
of cattlemen.
Newman, one of 14 district
chairmen in Texas, was ap-
pointed by J. D. Sartwelle of
Houston, chairman of the
Texas BDT. He and county
BDT chairmen in this area, to
be appointed soon, will be con-
ducting an extensive edu-
cational program to inform
cattlemen about the upcoming
Beef Referendum, in which all
cattlemen will be eligible to
vote.
The Beef Referendum is to
determine whether cattlemen
want a national self-help pro-
gram. It was authorized by the
Beef Research and Information
Act, passed by Congress in May
of last year.
If approved by two-thirds of
the cattlemen voting, there
would be a uniform collection
of three-tenths of one percent of
the value on each animal sold.
This rate will raise $30 million
to $40 million a year to be in-
vested in beef research, promo-
tion, consumer education and
foreign market development.
Any cattleman not interested in
participating may receive a re-
fund, upon request.
“Every cattleman knows that
we have been through the eco-
nomic wringer the past three
years,” says Sartwelle. “This
is a self-help program that can
help every segment of our
industry. Therefore, I urge
every cattleman to attend the
informational meetings, to be
scheduled in every county
during the next 60 days, and to
vote “Yes” in the upcoming
referendum, expected to be
held in May or June.”

to remove, chances are the
eggs used were too fresh. It is
best to buy the eggs several
days ahead and store them in
the refrigerator. As eggs are
stored, they lose carbon
dioxide and become easier to
peel when hard cooked.

A U STIN--February
agricultural prices in Texas
showed a slight increase, 3
per cent, with marked gains
in livestock and animal
product prices, the Texas
Department of Agriculture
has announced.
A five per cent increase in
livestock and animal product
prices shows improvement
for that hard-hit marketing
area, with calves showing the
most gain in the Texas Crop
and Livestock Reporting
Service monthly survey. Calf
prices increased $4.10 per
hundredweight, to $34.60.
This was almost a $2 increase
over February, 1976, prices,
but still almost half of parity
prices.
Inclement weather in the
state has increased cattle
feeding, and prices of baled
hay rose $2 a ton. Average
prices of alfalfa dropped $2
per ton, but were still far
above 1976 prices and over
twice the average price 10
years ago. The latest figures
showed the price of all hay
at $5 2.50, with alfalfa
dropping to $70 per ton.
Corn, oats and barley all
showed very slight increases,
with corn at $233 per
bushel; oats, $1.66; and
barley, $2.34. Wheat prices
dropped to $2.42, a 15 cent
decrease and sorghum grain
prices showed a 10 cent per
hundred decrease, at $3.56.
Sheep prices dropped $2
per hundredweight, to
$17.40, but remained over
the average of a year ago.
Lamb prices showed a slight
increase during the month,
up to $17.40 per
hundredweight.
Small gains were also
indicated in the hog market,
with the February average
Soybeans remained
strong, climbing to $6.78 per
bushel in February, an
increase of 66 cents over last
month’s average.
Slight gains were also
reported in cotton, with
upland cotton rising to 62.5
cents per pound, a 2.4 cent
increase over the January
average. Cottonseed also
gained $2 a ton, to $101 per
ton in February.
Easter Egg
Cooking Tips
Gaily colored Texas eggs
are a traditional part of every
Easter holiday, and after the
excitement of dyeing and
collecting them Easter
morning is all over, they can
easily be used in a variety of
nutritious, economical dishes
for the entire family.
With a little planning and
careful preparation,
hard-cooked eggs will come
out perfect every time. Texas
Department of Agriculture
egg specialists recommend
the following:
First of all, properly
cooked eggs are hard-cooked,
not “hard-boiled.” Place the
eggs in a pan with water at
least one inch above the eggs.
Bring to a rapid boil and
cover with lid. Remove from
the heat source and let them
stand for 15 minutes.
A small hole drilled or
punched through the large
end of the egg shell prior to
cooking will prevent
cracking.
To prevent discoloration
of yolks when cooking eggs,
plunge the eggs into cold
water immediately after
cooking.
If the shells are difficult
Subscription Price: $4.00
per year locally, plus 20c tax;
3 years for $10.50 (incl. tax)
$5.25 per year in counties
beyond those bordering
Gillespie County, or 3 yrs.
for $13.13 which includes tax
