Who Nose!
BY LYNDELL KENLEY
It’s batter for all of us to
build a man up than to show
him up.
+ + +
“It ia not a merit to
tolerate, but rather a crime
to be intolerant.*
—Shelly
+ + +
I can’t believe it! I’ve been
to three football games in
two weeks and the home
teams have, collectively,
scored seventy-five points!
If you throw in the Dallas
Cowboys on TV that’s a
HUNDRED.
It’s always been my luck
that the home team was
never an awesome offensive
power. Win a few games,
maybe. But rack up 25
points per game? Never.
The fans at the Tfus
Tech game were so sur-
prised at Tech’s romp over
Colorado that they almost
couldn't cheer.
The Lobos will be demon-
strating their goal-line seek-
ing skills this week in Den-
ver City. The Levelland
crowd should he as big as
the DC group.
+ + +
“Knowledge of our duties
is the nioet essential part of
the philosophy of life. If you
escape duty you avoid ac-
tion. The world 'demands re-
sults.*
—George W. Goethals
+ + +
“Statistics are no substi-
tute for judgment.”
—Henry Clay
+ + +
Mrs. Highbrow: What do
you think of the soloist’s
execution?
Husband: I'm all for it.
+ + +
Proud Pop: You know,
dear, I think that your son
got my brains.
Wife: He must have —
I’ve still get mine.
+ + +
“One ought read just as
inclination takes him, for
what he reads as task will do
him little good.”
—Johnson
+ + +
Judge: So, you deceived
your husband!
Woman: No Sir! He de-
ceived me. He feaid he was
going out of town, but he
didn't go!

Blames Abby for
Losing Her Man
By Abigail Van Buran
© 1S7S t» CSiuso TiWww-H. Y. Nm Synd Me.
DEAR ABBY: I know you'll never print this, but I just
want you to know that your advice has ruined one’life.
Mine.
Ten years ago I was going with Paul, a guy I really
loved. He wanted me to go all the way with him, and I
really wanted to, but I had it drummed into me that I
should save myself for marriage, so I wrote to you for
advice. You told me that if I lost Paul because I wouldn’t
give in, he wasn’t worth having.
Well, Paul met another girl who gave him what he
wanted, and he married her. They’ve been married for
eight years and have a great marriage.
If I had given in to Paul, he’d have married me instead.
I’m married to a nice guy, but I still love Paul and always
_m v _:.L f *nlran waiiv aflirion Thanlra fnr
will. I wish I hadn’t taken your advice. Thanks for
SORRY
DEAR SORRY: When a girl asks me if she should go oil
the way, I advise against it on the theory that she lacks
the maturity to handle that kind of relation ship, or she
wouldn’t be asking.
P.S. How do you know how “great" Paul’s marriage ia?
And how can you be sure he would have married you had
yon given in?
DEAR ABBY: I am a diabetic and should not have
sugar. My problem is how to stay on my restricted diet
and still enjoy some kind of social life.
I belong to a club and a church circle, and the
refreshments they serve are loaded with sugar. I’ve been
eating Hie refreshments, even though I know I shouldn’t,
because I don’t want to advertise the fact that I’m
diabetic, and I fed awkward refusing refreshments while
everyone else is eating.
I don’t know how to handle this situation. I suppose the
simplest solution would be to stay away from the
meetings, but isn’t there another answer?
DIABETIC
DEAR DIABETIC: Your problem to being embarrassed
about a condition over which you have no control. You
need not “advertise” it, but you could tot your hoot see
know in advance that you can’t tolerate sugar. You are
foolish to hide it, and even more foolish to go off your diet
mid upset your sugar level.

DEAR ABBY: I was amused to see in your column the
letter from “TRAVELIN’ MAN’’ who said that years ago,
bums and drifters would stop by the back door of the
undertaker’s to try on used choppers for size. You replied,
“Recycled dentures? You’re puttin’ me on!”
Abby, he was not puttin’ you on. Back ip the 30s, there
was a general merchandise store in Barnhart, Mo., (20
miles south of St. Louis) that featured a washtub full of
used dentures for sale. People would come in and try them
on for size—germs and all.
The store has since burned down, but I can vouch for the
fact that there was such a place.

raised 1913 per student at an
average tax rate of only 23
cents per 1100 of taxable
value. The Commission’s
recommended improved
state equalization aid pro-
gram would dose this rich-
poor gap.
The Commission s recom-
mendations are based on the
conclusion that wealthy dis-
tricts with low tax rates and
large amounts of local funds
per student do not need ad-
ditional state aid for pro-
perty tax relief.
On the other hand, poor to
average wealth districts —
where property tax rates
typically are high and funds
are limited — do need more
state funds, both for tax
relief and for better school
programs.
The Commission recom-
mends that the property tax
continue to provide local tax
support for Texas public
schools and that the 1975
legislative provision of the
use of a local share rate of
not less than 35 cents per
$100 of estimated taxable
value be continued for cal-
culating support of the
state’s Foundation School
Program.

perty taxation, according to

the Commission, ia equity;
the Commission finds that
local school property taxes
erall are not as high in
exas as in a majority of
other states aa measured in
relation to personal income
or in relation to other state
and local tax support for
public schools.
To achieve greater equity
in property taxation, the
Texas ACIR recommends
that local property tax ad-
ministration be reorganised
to eliminate overlapping and
duplication of property ap-
praisals by school districts,
cities, counties, and other
political units, although
separate county appraisals
may have to be maintained
because of current constitu-
tional provisions.
Other recommendations
include the creation of a
state agency to conduct ap-
praisal studies that would
provide information for in-
dividual taxpayers who ap-
peal local appraisals. This
information would be avail-
able to aid any taxpayer in
proceedings to recover any
excess taxes that had been
paid.
