Editor. The Sun ,
Dear Sir:
In recent days I have read
several letters to the editor con-
cerning the airport section of
the upcoming bond electio':, and
as an interested citizen who has
studied the matter quite care-
fully, I would like to make a
few statements refuting some of
the statements made in those
letters.
First, the two existing airports
we have are not adequate, and
by that I mean the grass aid
dirt runways, muddy and Slip-
pery for days after a rain, are
unsafe and can cause damage
to aircraft landing or taking off.
Also, I personally know of sever-
al airplane owners who keep
their planes in another city just
to avoid the expense of having
to have them washed after fly-

This is not because of an ac-
tual shift in production, but the
result of a heavy increase in
cattle numbers in East Texas
counties. At the same time. West
Texas production has remained
relatively stable.
This increased production
stems largely from the conver-
sion of crop land to cattle pas-
ture in the land where cotton
once was king. Fertilizers and
irrigation, along with new grass-
es such as Coastal Bermuda,

Agency has not only stated that
Baytown needs this airport, but
has gotten J216.000 from Con-
gress to help us build this fa-
cility. The men and women pro-
moting this issue are citizens
interested in seeing Baytown get
progressive and to see Baytown
grow and prosper, not a hand-
ful of pfople connected with' any
airplane company.
Finally, this investment of only
$250,000 wilt provide Baytown
with a airport facility capable
of serving the current and fu-
ture needs of the flying industry
and individuals and is an invest-
ment easily made by the city as
a whole. While an investment of
that size for one person or sev-
eral persons to make would be
prohibitive when you consider
return on that investment,
t is being proposed is simp-
ly that which has been done by
many cities smaller than Bay-
town, such as Cuero, Conroe,
Beeville, and Killeen. These

The 46-yeapold business exec-
utive, who came to Atlanta from
Valley Forge, Pa., last August,
said he was still pinching him-
self over being alive.
» His wife, Sylvia, said he felt
there must be some reason tor.
it to do something for others,
perhaps in church work.
Shaip missed death by the
narrowest of margins.
“I pulled those hedge clippers
out of my chest, and when I saw
about six inches of red blood on
the blade, I knew I was in real
trouble,” he said.
He almost bled to death. A
doctor said toe blade injured 'toe
right ventricle. Open heart sur-
gery and blood, transfusions
saved him.
The accident occurred at toe
Share residence in northeast
Atlanta 13 days ago while he
was preparing to dip some
twigs his wife couldn't reach in
the yard.
Sharp said he attempted to
step over a fence, missed his
footing and fell forward. In
trying to break toe fall he inad-
vertently opened toe shears and
received a deep stab wound.

r Despite the' popular "Co w
Country” image of West Texas,
the state’s cattle population is
now greater in toe eastern coun-
ties than in those west of Fort
Worth and San Antonio.
Although Texas remains the
No. 1 cattle - producing state,

T
ing into or from a muddy air-
field. These owners are residents
of Baytown who are spending
their money in another city, a
loss of revenue to Baytown.
Secondly, just last week I
spoke with a gentleman from
another city who has been look-
ing at Baytown as a possible
site for opening up a new busi-
ness, a new small industry for
Baytown, and who also flies

purposes. He commented to me
that our airport facilities were
•o inadequate that he uses the
modem paved airport of a little
city just to toe south of us. This
factor may affect- his decision
in coming to Baytown. ; ^
