L-o-n-g Political
Year Ahead
Austin -First flurries of ac-
tivity on the 1968 presidential
campaign front remind that it
is going to be a long, long
political year.

Entry or Sen. Robert Kenne-
dy into the contest for the
Democratic nomination set
off more speculation than
action.
Less than a week after Kenn-
edy’s announcement, however,
a Beaumont college teacher
announced he had accepted an
invitation from the senator’s
office to head up his drive in
Texas. Ron Platt, chairman of
the small group known as Tex-
as Liberal Democrats and a
Lamar Tech assistant professor,
said the Texas Committee for
Kennedy soon will open an
Austin office.
Dissenting Democrats of Tex-
as reaffirmed its support of
Sen. Eugene McCarthy for
president despite Kennedy’s
emergence. Co-Chairman Don
Allford said DDT welcomes
efforts of the Kennedy backers
■ and expects help from them
in some areas in opposing
President Johnson. DDT claims

Hace tai vez algo mas de
un rfno, declamos desde esta
columns que el nddo que e»-
taba haclendo el fiscal de
cHstrito de la cludad de Nue-
va Orleans con relaclon al
asesinato del Presldente Ke-
nnedy resultaria en una de
dos, o se trata de los esfuer-
zos sinceros de un individuo
muy mal informa do, o se trata
trata de un oportunista que
esta tratando de ganar popu-
la rid ad. El tiempo transcurri-
do ha puesto de manifiesto
por lo menos lo primero.
Ahora tenemos el caso de
un anunciador de radio de
esta area que aprovecha la
potencia de su estacion para
pasarse de listo todas las
mananas y usa su posicion
privilegiada para pasar jui-
cio sobre cosas y personas,
resultantes en lisonjas o dur-
as criticas segun su estado de
animo o el grado de familiar-
idad que tenga con la per-
sona u objeto. Hemos dicho
posicion privilegiada y quere-
mos aclarar que no corisidera-
mos un privilegio el estar en
sus zapatos sino lo liberal de
las leyes de comunicacion
que rigen a la radio-trans-
mision en el vecino pais.
En efecto, quienes tenemos
la oportunidad de escuchar a
veces durante horas consecu-
tivas a los anunciadores de am
ambos paises, nos damos cu-
enta que el anunciador de re-
ferenda se consider a a si
mismo capacitado para pasar
juicio sobre to do y sobre to-
dos, lo mismo da que se trate
de personas, objetos o prin-
ciples y rinde culto a un gru-
po de amigos, cosa rara, to-
dos ellos influyentes, mien-
tras por otro la do atac a un
"manito" por su manera de
hablar, sin tomar en cuenta
que el humilde ciudadano con
quien se ensana, probable-
mente podria mostrarle un
"corazon purpura" ganado en
el terreno en que un hombre
lo es de verdad y no de pi co,
porque el valor, en contraste
directo con el dinero, no se
hereda.
Seria muy conveniente que
el dicho anunciador se saliera
de su circulo inmediato de
amistades a fin de que escu-
char a opiniones sinceras..
acerca de su actuacion, pues
estamos seguros de que con
mucha frecuencia le dirian
de las ocasiones en que ha
quedado bien cuando se por-
ta formalito y haciendo uso
de la etica se concreta a in-
formar, simple y sencialla-
mente a informar, sin meter
conclusiones propias ni criti-
car a quien carece de los me-
dios de defenderse por la mis-
ma via.
Spot cotton trading moved
along at a moderately slow
pace in western markets, acc-
ording to the Consumer and
Marketing Service, USDA.
Prices were irregular.
A steady flow of low grades
continued to move to domes-
tic and foreign mills. Grower
offerings of better qualities
failed to attract much mer-
chant or mill interest.
Domestic mills purchased a
few lots of Strict Low Middling
1-3/32", 3. 5 to 4. 9 mike, in
the San Joaquin Valley. Lan-
ded mill prices ranged from
35. 00 to 36. 50 cents.
American-Egyptian activitv
revived with sale of 200 bales
of Grades 3 and 4, 1-3/8" in
the Phoenix territory. Loan
redemptions netted growers
$1. 00 to $1. 50 per bale equity.
Fresno Strict Low Middling
1-3/32", 3. 5 to 4. 9 mike,
was quoted at 33.00 cents. Pur-
chases on the Fresno Cotton
Exchange totaled 2, 200 bales
compared with 2, 600 a week
ago.
Hioenix Middling 1-1/16",
3. 5 to 4. 9 mike, was unchan-
ged at 29. 00 cents. The Phoe-
nix Cotton Exchange reported
purchases of 470 bales against
560 for the preceding week.
El Paso Middling 1-5/32", .
3. 5 to 4. 9 mike, remained
at 35. 95 cents.
The last ginning report by the
Bureau of the Census gave this
breakdown for the western
states: California 1. 056, 555
bales; Arizona 449, 776 inclu-
ding 34, 416 American-Egyp-
tian; New Mexico 144, 941 in-
cluding 6, 521 extra long sta-
ple; and Texas 2, 721, 055
bales including 26, 914 Ameri-
can Egyptian. The United
States total was 7, 431, 845
bales including 68, 253 balps
of American-Egyptian.
Planting was more than half
completed in the Imperial
Valley of California and Sou-
thern Yuma County, Arizona.
Cool temperatures delayed
any real planting effort in
the San Joaquin Valley of Cali-
fornia and Central Arizona. Rain
and snow in parts of the El Paso
cotton trade territory halted
land preparations.

Sierra Blanca - Arrangements
are being made for a rabies
clinic to be held in Dell City
at the school on April 1,1968.
The clinic is to be conducted
jointly by Mr. O. L. Harris,
Vocational Agriculture Tea-
cher in Dell City, Mr. Ellis
Helmers, County Agenty and
Mr. Joe Abb Neely, County
Sanitarian. It is very impor-
tant that all pets, including
cats, be vaccinated against
this fatal disease.
The desert Southwest is de-
finitely contaminated with
this dreadful disease and there-
fore it doesn’t have to be im-
ported from elsewhere. Make
plans now to bring your pet
to the school.
Vaccinations wil| be provi-'
ded free of charge for those
who cannot afford it, but
voluntary donations will be
accepted to help pay for the
vaccine.
Dell Valley - Texas Gover-
nor John Connally and a cara-
van left El Paso Thursday
morning continuing a tour of
the Texas Mountain Trail,
The trail is one of 10 being
marked by the Texas Highway
Department to attract visitors
to "off-the-beaten-path"
tourist attractions in Texas.
A group of Interested Dell
Citians met with Governor
Connally at the Guadalupe
Roadside Park where he and
his party stopped for coffee on
Thursday morning.
From the roadside park, the
caravan went on to Van Hom
where they had lunch before
journeying to Fort Davis and
Davis Mountain State Park.
RABIES IS CALLED
ONE-WAY DISEASE
Sierra Blanca... Rabies is a one-
way disease---transmitted from
an infected wild animal to
man direct or first through a
domestic animal,most often q
dog. Contrary to belief,rabies
occurs in all seasons and in
all sections of the country. M^n
and all warm blooded .anim alp
are susceptible to rabies. Those
animals which normally attack
or defend themselves by bit-
ing are most apt to infect oth-
ers.
The virus, which is present
in saliva during a certain sta^e
in the progress of the disease,
is transmitted by biting or li-
cking by an infected animal
and enters the body through
a break in the skin or mucous
membrane.
Rabies occurs in two general
forms. In "furious" rabies,first
the animal is either moody •
and wants to be left alone or
exceptionally friendly and seeks
comfort. Then follows a per-
iod of wandering and biting
other dogs,snapping at sticks
or people---even his master.
Next comes paralysis,convul-
sions, coma and death usually
within ten days of onset In
"dumb" rabies early drowsi-
ness and paralysis of the lower
jaw is exhibited and progress-
ive paralysis sets in quite early
and death soon follows.

Dell Valley - This week several hundred young calves were mo-
ved and herded for spraying and "greener pastures". Fertility is the
key trait determining the profitability of a beef herd. Selection is
the least effective, because of the low heritability of fertility. Con-
tinuous culling of open females may ensure maintenance or grad-
ual improvement of fertility. '

Dell Valley - The prominent electric sign at the Dell City Junc-
tion can been seen for several miles when it is on at night. At the
entrance of Dell Valley, it is located 12 miles south of Dell City
on State Road No. 1437. It is maintained by the Dell Valley Ch-
amber of Commerce. Replacement of broken lights by vandals
has been costly. This sign is something of which to be proud.. let’s
take pride in it and keep it that way.
