Market Report
Given By Specialist
Round steaks, ground beef,
short ribs, chuck steaks, and
roasts and liver look like the
best beef vilues this week, says
Gwendolyne Clyatt, Extension
consumer marketing specialist,
as she reports of food supplies
for the week-end shopper.
Pork supplies have increased
a bit with good values includ-
ing shoulder roasts and steaks,
some chops, smoked hams, pic-
nics and canned ahms.
Prices on frying chickens ge-
nerally are up but shoppers can
find good buys on fryer parts
and whole birds. Frozen turkey
are an economical protein food
choice.
Austin, Texas — Texas Aero-
nautics Commission has expres-
sed concern that the new fe-
deral aviation legislation may
shut off its revenues for state
airport building aid which now
totals more than $400,000 a year.
Proposed aircraft user charg-
es would increase the general
aviation fuel tax from two to
seven cents a gallon, levy ali-
censing fee of $25 per aircraft
plus two cents a pound for prop
planes and three and a half
cents a pound for jets, increase
the passenger tax on airlines
from five per cent to eight per
cent, place a new five per cent
tax on cargo shipments and es-
tablish a $3 passenger tax on
international travel.
Money would go to airport im-
provements and relief con-
gestion. Some $180 million a year
would aid large, airline-served
terminals and $25 million a year
would be reserved for smaller
airports like those helped by
TAC funds. Based on population,
Texas would get about $18 mil-
lion annually for larger airports
and ,$2.5 million for smaller ones.
Hitch, according to TAC Exe-
cutive Director Charles Murphy,
is this:
Federal act requires states to
match aid funds on a 50-50 basis.
At present, the source of funds
TAC has for airport building is
unclaimed refunds on the state’
fivc-cent-a gallon tax on avia-
tion gasoline. Plane owners now
leave some $46,000 a month in
the state till rather .than go to
the trouble of filling out forms
for refunds. However, .with stiff
new federal charges, it is feared
they will start applying for all
refunds that can get, thus leav-
ing TAC with an “empty
bucket”, as one commisioner
sail.
Murphy said a state jet fuel
tax of three to four cents a gal-
lon would be necessary to raise
as much as $2.5 million a year.
Meanwhile, TAC approved a
$324,500 construction aid pro-
gram for the next year, includ-
ing these projects:
Dalhart, Commerce, McLean,
Hale Center/Haskell, Hemphill,
Pleasanton and Vega, $27,500
each; Taft, $26,000; Bridgeport,
Giddings, Jackson County Ed-
na), Jasper, San Benito, Hearno
and Van Horn, $10,000 each;
Shamrock, $4,500 and Caldwell
$4,000.

SPEED READING CLASSES
SET FOR COASTAL BEND
The Cutler Acceleread method
of speed reading, created by Dr.
Wade E. Cutler, w'ho holds a
doctorate in psychology, will be
taught here in both day & even-
ing classes.
The average person today
reads some 200 words per min-
ute with about 60 per cent com-
prehension - a rate inadequate
to cope with today’s reading
demands in school, college and
business.
This wideley acclaimd course
guarantees its graduates will
read at least 1,000 words per
minute with a definite increase
in comprehension.
Many graduates of the nine-
week program far exceed the
guarantee and complete with
rates of 2,500 and more words
per minute with far better com-
prehension.
Concentration, recall, study
and test-taking skills show a re-
markable degree of improve-
ment.
Such achievement means that
a person can read books of
average length in 45 minues or
less, and understand, remem-
ber, and enjoy them better than
ever.
