Young Men May Apply For
Game Management Jobs
Young men who are in-
terested in careers as Texas
Parks and Wildlife Depart-
ment game management of-
ficers have until May 26 to
submit application forms.
The GMOs are the depart-
ment’s law enforcement of-
ficers. Formerly called game
wardens, they enforce game
and fish regulations and
engage in a number of con-
servation activities.
Application forms are
available from any Parks and
Wildlife Department district or
regional office, or from Austin
headquarters. All applications
must be submitted to the
department’s headquarters in
the John H. Reagan Building,
Austin, Tex. 78701.
Applicants will be given
written examinations at nine
locations across the state June
6. The sites are Corpus Christi,
La Porte, San Angelo, Tyler,
Edinburg, Lubbock, Waco, and
two locations in Dallas.
After subsequent interviews
and investigations, the suc-
cessful applicants will form the
department’s 28th Game
Management Officer Class.
The cadets will receive in-
tensive training at the
department’s academy at
Texas A & M University before
being commissioned in
ceremonies at Austin.
Applicants must be in the age
group of 21 to 40, inclusive, on
the date of appointment. At
least a high school education
and good physical condition
are requirements.
Applicants must be at least 5
feet, 8 inches tall and must
weigh at least two pounds for
each inch of height but not
more than three pounds per
inch of height.

“If spring cleaning has left
you with a headache over that
large pile of unwanted items, a
garage sale may be the answer
to your problem.”
That’s the advice offered by
Mrs. Bonnie Fowler, home
management specialist for the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service.
The specialist pointed out
that it’s possible to sell any
type of item in a garage sale
when it might be of interest to
someone else. This includes
toys, books, records, knick-
knacks, household and sports
equipment, furniture and
clothes. Use a garage sale to
raise money for the family or a
favorite charity.
“If your friends and neigh-
bors, are in the midst of spring
cleaning, join forces to offer a
variety of merchandise,” Mrs.
Fowler suggested.
Keep in mind that low prices
attract bargain hunters.
However, extremely low prices
often fail to make the venture
financially worthwhile. Check
the cost of items at local thrift
and second-hand shops for a
pricing guide.
Mend and clean clothing

Pin the correct size on gar-
ments. Tie or pin pairs of shoes

Remember a trick of the
trade, and set up a few tables
where everything sells for the
same price. Otherwise, group
similar items together. Hang

RE-ELECT
JOHN YOUNG
* A native South Texan, Congressman Young
has been a practicing attorney, a county
attorney and county judge, prior to begin-
ning his 15 years of service as our U.S.
Congressman.
* Member of the powerful House Rules Com-
mittee and member of the joint Committee
on Atomic Energy
* Has a near 90% attendance record for his
15 years in Congress
* John Young is a congressman who is
working diligently for South Texas and he
has passed much legislation for every area
of his district
“The problems of the
district, wherever
located, are my prob-
lems and I shall continue
to treat them with
the same care and
personal attention.”
“Better farm income” is the
single most important and
immediate need of rural
Texas, said Dolph Briscoe,
Democratic candidate for
governor of Texas.
“We have many battles for
rural Texas. For example,
there is a great need for rural,
urban and state leaders to
develop a strong and
meaningful ‘systems approach
to rural and urban develop-
ment. This must be a
cooperative program which
has as its final goal the im-
provement in quality of life for
both urban and rural people,”
he said. Expanded markets for
Texas ranch and farm
products and constant
research and educational
•pressures in areas of animal
and plant protection are also
vitally important to rural
Texas, Broscoe added.
“But the biggest battle right
now is income. Rural areas,
reflected by rural income and
farm prices, have just not
shared in the prosperity of the
state the last 20 years,”
Briscoe said. This year, the
average income per farm from
farming is expected to be about
$6,000. The average disposable
income of farm people is about
three-fourths that of non-
farm people. Recent research
shows that farmers, in terms
of prices received and return
on investment, gained only thr-
ee percent in the last 20 years.
During this same time, money
paid to wage earners increased
3.4 times, service workers
receive 4.9 times more and
business and professional
income has doubled.
Yet, it terms of productivity,
farmers have excelled. During
that same 20 year period, the
output per man hour of far-
mers has increased by 3.3
times, compared to a 1.7 in-
crease for manufacturing.
Today’s farmer produces
enough food and fiber for about
50 people, freeing those people
to make meaningful con-
tributions in other areas of
employment.
“There is no more important
job than producing food and
fiber. People must have food
and clothing and the producer

should be adequately rewarded
for his excellence ip providing
these needs,” Briscoe said.
“Like the city wage
earner, the businessman and
investor, rural Texans deserve
a fair wage for their efforts.
One of my goals is to see that
farmers, ranchers and rural
businessmen do better
financially. This will make our
countryside, our rural com-
munities and the entire social
and economic life in rural
Texas much healthier. And
that’s good. Not only for rural
Texans but for all Texans, for
the well-being of one group of
our people ultimately affects
everyone. Further, improved
rural income is a vital
part of an overall rural-urban
development program which I
consider necessary,” Briscoe
said.
“Improving the quality of
life for all Texans is a major
goal for me. I intend to do all
that I can to see that this goal is
reached,” he said.

Screwworm Epidemic
Continues To Spread
Although Texas’ rapidly-
worsening screwworm
epidemic unexpectedly cooled
a trifle last week the meat-
eating livestock pest kept
Mission Lab officials from
resting easily by spreading its
depredations to four new
counties, including one which
hadn’t been molested in 10
years.
A sample from a livestock
producer near Goodrich in
Polk County was confirmed by
the Mission Lab as
screwworms, one of 36 to be so
designated today. Goodrich is
about 65 miles northeast of
Houston along U. S. 59. The
flies jumped four counties to
reach Polk. The closest
previous activity had been in
Colorado County, some 100
miles to the southwest.
The infestation was found in
a calf navel, a common site for
egg laying “which indicates
the existence of a local fly
population rather than being a
case which was trucked in
from another infested area, “A
spokesman said gloomily.
Sterile fly drops will begin in
Polk County no later than
Thursday, the spokesman
assured.
Tuesday’s 39 cases raised the
1972 screwworm count to 481,
well above last year’s final
figure of 444. Including 19
outbreaks in Arizona the total
for this year is an even 500.
Other counties hit for the
first time today include
Jackson, Bastrop and Ed-
wards, all of whom had one
case each. Among the longtime
haunts favored by the
screwworms, Starr had six
more cases, Zapata five and
Jim Hogg four.
Livestock producers are
urged to closely inspect any
animal wounds and treat any
larvae found with an approved
organophosphate insecticide,
after first collecting a sample
for the Mission Lab. Samples
should be forwarded to Box 969,
Mission, Texas. Kits can be
obtained from the lab or most
county agricultural agents.
