when the Danbury Chamber of
Commerce requested that
there be a representative from
the Danbury-Liverpool area
named.
The name of a Danbury
chambe- member had been on
the original list of suggested
members presented to the
court, but that name had been
bypassed.
At a meeting in May, com-
missioners discussed the
Danbury request with Dick
Tyson and informally agreed
that another member could be
adced to the planning group.
At trial time Commissioner
Dixie Brown suggested that the
Danbury-Liverpool people
should agree on a representa-
tive from their area and sub-
mit the name to the court.
At the Monday meeting.
Judge Alton Arnold read a let-
ter from the Danbury Chamber
in which Tyson was recom-
mended as the nominee from
the two-city area. Named as
alternates were Johnny Glass-
ford of Liverpool and Ed Wol-
lam of Danbury.
Commissioner firown sug-
gested that the three names be;
turned over to the commission
for consideration when stand-
ing committees are appointed.
He also said they might be
considered whenever a va-
cancy might occur on the com-
mission.
Kee said that the planning
group uas not trying to "have
any voice in who is on the
commission, but we are al-
ready organized and trying
to move forward.”
He added that there might
lie more requests from the
smaller communities that do
not have a representative and
that it would not seem fair to
continue to disrupt the organi-
zational structure.
"If we work in the right
spirit," Baker said, "we'll
try to work for the good of
all the county despite where
anyone is from."
He added that it was the goal
of the commission totrytode-
velop a master transportation
plan within a year that would
correlate thinking of existing
city and area planninggroups.
"That's a pretty big order
for us, though" he said, noting
that only monthly meetings
we re planned.
In addition to the two com-
mittees that can have outside
membership, there will be
Membership Advisory, Steer-
ing and Problem Definition
Committees, all made up from
within the 15-inan commis-
sion.
Once the staggered terms of
the original members have ex-
pired, all members will serve
three year terms. No one will
serve more than three conse-
cutive terms.
If a vacancy occurs, a re-
placement shall be named
from the same commissioner
precinct as was the original
member or. if the vacancy is
an at-large position, it shall
be filled without regardtopre-
cinct lines.
The commission was
formed by each of the four
precinct commissioners nam-
ing three members and the re-
maining three at-large posts
being filled by Judge Arnold.
Most of those selected were
from lists suggested by cham-
bers of commerce throughout
the county.
they will go to district compe-
tition with their horses. This
will be held in Rosenberg in
July.

cated the commission was al-

added to the present group.
The by-laws provided, how-
ever, that two standing com-
mittees could have member-
ship appointed from outside
of the original 15-man com-
mission. This, Kee explained,
could provide wider represen-
tation and take care of re-

city would provide the base
materials for that portion of
the street within the city lim-
its. Council authorized an o-
ver-expenditure of the budget
in the amount of some $3,000
to cover this work. The con-
census was that "we can’t
turn down a $9,000 street by
refusing to provide $3,000 in
materials".
Also discussed was the pav-
ing of Stadium Drive. It was
agreed that an additional $2,
500 would be spent on the
paving so that the street ad-
jacent to school property just
west of Johnson Street could
be widened 7 and a half feet
to reach the existing curb and
allow for heavy traffic in the
area.
The council meeting was ad-

tee session to discuss the zon-

Exotic Pets
May Be Illegal
The current interest In exo-
tic pets has prompted many pet
store operators to illegally ac-
quire, hold and sell protected
species of wild animals and
birds for pets.
Bob Cross, law enforcement
coordinator for the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Depart-
ment, said a $5 fur propaga-
tion permit is required to sell
wild fur bearing animals in
this state.
Raccoons, opossums,
skunks, hawks and owls are
some of the more common spe-
cies seen in pet stores. Cross
said.
It is illegal for individuals
or pet shop ownerstoholdcap-
tive any variety of hawk or
owl. Cross said, but it isper-
missible to keep most fur-
bearing species such as rac-
coons if a permit is obtained
from the Department.
Although it is illegal for in-
dividuals or pet shop owners to
hold captive any variety of
hawk or owl. Cross said, but it
is permissible to keep most
fur-bearing species such as
raccoons if a permit is ob-
tained from the Department.
Although it is legal to keep
some species as pets or for
sale, with appropriate licen-
ses, Department officials don’t
encourage the practice.

hunting the other day. He. mother-in-law and three teenagers
will be moving from Louisiana to this area. Susan and her Carl
were so impressed by Alvin that tliey figure mama might like
it also. . .
The Methodists have "been to conference” and its welcome
back home to the Jack Shoultz family at the lora parsonage.
A lot of other longtime fHerds were listed when tlie appoint-
ments were handed out this year. Like Jester White, district
superintendent in Houston East; Leslie LeGrand, district su-
perintendent in Houston Northwest; Ed Mathison, d.s. at Beau-
mont; and Clyde Thomas, ditto, Texarkana--The Robert Lang-
hams are inDickinson(she's the former Helen Hicklin, daughter
of the late Mrs. Marie Hicklin, this city)—L. A. Reavis Jr.
is at Winnie-Stovall charge— Jack Sparling is pastor for College
Station A&M—the W. L. Hattaways minister to Lufkin's irst
Church—and Monroe Vivion s executive director for lexas
Methodist Foundation. . .
With something akin to nostalgia, we recall tlie earlier days
in Alvin when boots clanked along the sidewalks of the city.
Now there are fewer cowboys—and still another has departed.
Gerald Abbott was buried this week. He's best remembe red
astride one of the great horses he loved. . . or as a cl art er
member of American Legion Post 129, formed soon after the
fellows returned from that first Big War. . .
And so sadly, we know that war is not yet out-dated and
death, too, visits the young. Wayne Valusek will come home
to rest—struck down in Cambodian action—and we griev with
his family in Manvel. . .
The world is made up of the nicest people. Mrs. E. W. Kirken-
dall at Alvin Hardware sent word that she knows where we can
find a stove handle. Good news! We'll be there, looking, as soon
as we get some spare minute which isn’t located between
midnight and dawn. . .
Short Stuff: Jack Harrison broke his foot. We don't know
when, why or where, but we’re sorry.—Mrs. Carl Gulley
was telling us recently tliat she came to town every day. She'll
be meeting herself coming and going before she gets daugh-
ter, Rebecca Ann, married to Jay D. Hicks III if all that busy-
ness is true that other mothers of the bride have told us
about—Missed the cape jasmine" in all their beauty for
they were brown and withered before we got out tc see—
and the waxen magnolia blossoms wer shattered by the
rains—D. D. Clark was waiting out the bid awards at special
City Council meeting Thursday (and sure enough, he got the
gasoline/oil contract for Sinclair)--Must be a lot of sick
folks. Mary Ann King says she's doing more private duty
nursing tha:. she ougl.ta—Bubba Kennedy stays busy with Ba-
you Services. He was in Houston Tuesday. . . and Ruth Heller
has been in the Danbury-Angleton clinic. . .
From what we read in the papers, that little nine year old
girl—Pamela somebody-or-other—who wrote to President
Nixon recently (and received a "tend to your knitting ' reply
from some kind of an aide) may well become a legendary
figure equal to "Dear Virginia—Yes, there is a Santa Claus."
The child wrote a reasonable letter—she's no doub: heard
sufficient adult gripes to pique her curiosity about the
purposes for which federal money Is spent. Sotr ebody
may even have put her up to that correspondence in the first
place. So what? We can almost picture the smart-alec-type-
official who told her that President Nixon would spend "his"
money as he sees fit and she'd do better to keep her nose in
her books. Or something like that. Thank goodness, semebody
else in Washington finally behaved a little better and wrote to
commend her for being interested. There never was a nine-
year-old who didn't ask questions. If the only replay they get is
"hush your mouth, chile"—they might all be "on can pus” in
another 10 years, throwing brickbats at the dean. Sure, a lot of
today’s youth are downright kooky with their growing pains—
but lets give the little guys a halfway-decent break. If ve can t
answer their questions, maybe we'd better start asking a few
of our own. . .
