Memo to Myrtie Kennemer:
Prof Eddie Trapp called about
the snake with the “horn" on its
tail...most common name is
Mud Snake...called also Hoop
Snake...eats salamanders, other
amphibians and fish. It uses the
horn to help poke the food into
its mouth and sometimes ap-
pears to be forming a circle
(hoop). Another name is Horn
Snake. Eddie catches one or two
a year. They can’t sting as some
suppose. The back is an irrides-
cent black • shot with blue. The
underside is reddish-orange-
pink. They stay in out-of-the-
way places. The average length
is 40 inches to 50 inches. The
record is 80 inches.
Prof. Trapp lent a book on
Indians of Texas. The Caddo
Confederacies occupied this
area One tribe was the Kado-
hadocho. Interesting point: the
tribes of the Hasinai confedera-
tion of Caddoes called each
other Tayshas, meaning
"allies" or "friends". This
word became "Texas”. I’m
going to study this book and
want to tell about those who
were here before us.

Sure, sunshine is free, but,
lets be realistic.
We Americans tend to be
skeptical of cure-alls. And rightly so.
They’re seldom realistic.
Some people think sunshine
is a free and easily available cure-all
for our energy problems. Sunshine is
free. Solar power isn’t.
Equipment is now on rhe
market that uses direct heat from the
sun to help warm our houses and
heat our water. In some areas these
installations are economical. But col-
lecting, concentrating, converting,
storing and using solar energy to gen-
erate electricity is not economical.
It’s many times more costly than
using coal or nuclear fuels, and much
more expensive than using Middle
East oil.
At your electric company,
we’re supporting the development of
solar technology. Some day it may
become a more viable source of elec-
trical energy ... but not today.
Until it is, our job is to keep you
supplied with dependable electricity,
generated with the most plentiful
and economical fuels we can use.
We think you’ll agree: that’s
realistic.
