The purpose of a filter in
your heating or air conditioning air blower is to
catch dust or dirt before it can enter your unit. If your filter gets
clogged, your unit will have to work harder to do the heating or cooling job required,
and it will use more electricity.
To avoid damage to your unit and to save energy and money, be sure your filter is
clean. WTU recommends checking your filter once every 30 days. Permanent types
can be cleaned according to manufacturer’s instructions, while non-permanent filters
should be replaced.
A clean filter, along with other conservation measures you can do at home, will
help you save energy and money!
Set your thermostat at 68 degrees or
lower. Turn it down at night and use an
electric blanket. Turn
it down even lower
when you leave home
for an extended period
of time. Every degree
you lower your thermostat will help to
increase your energy savings.

During the recent Special Legis-

spent for Texas Fisher and
Wildlife programs — was taken
from the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department (TPWD) and will be
used for other purposes.

Most butterflies have short
memories. According to Internat-
ional Wildlife magazine, a
scientist at the University of
Colorado found that butterflies
feed repeatedly from the same
flower species because it takes too
long to learn their way around
new ones. If they venture to a new
flower, then return to the old one,
they must relearn the path to the
nectar.

Mourn the passing of my old
friend, Mahalie McCleary. Ninety-
four years old at her death last
week, she had been a resident of
Woods Nursing Home since 1973.
There, she was active and
helpful to all her fellow residents;
working in the garden and flower-
beds, bringing cheer and inspira-
tion to all she saw.
She was a loving, caring, sweet
lady, and will be sorely missed.

By Rusty Jones
Previous and newly-elected
directors of the Paducah Chamber
of Commerce met recently at the
Channel 5 office to make plans for
1987.
What really impressed
everyone present was the spirit
and enthusiasm of honestly being
concerned agout the future of the
city.
This group is optimistic! I say
this because there was discussion
even about expanding some busi-
newses, and some great ideas
were brought up regarding
opening new businesses, and
exploring new ways to bring
outside customers into town. Also,
farmers and ranchers are of a
concern and ideas were discussed
that might increase their income
through diversions or other
means. These ideas will be shared
with you as soon as the details are,
worked out.
Everyone who lives here is a
member of the Chamber; we all
pay taxes, etc., that keep this city
and county going. You may have
some suggestions or ideas that
would be beneficial to your com-
munity; if so, let us know, or attend
the general meeting.
Do you even know where the
Chamber of Commerce office is, or
who the directors or members are?
If not, drop by Channel 5 (the
office) or call 492-2044.
finances wildlife management
activities including the TPWD's
non-game program, fisheries man-
agement, fish and wildlife law
enforcement, the "Texas Parks and
Wildlife" magazine, and many of
its educational activities.
The major sources of revenue
to Fund 9 are hunting and fishing
license sales to sportsmen, Federal
Aid to Fisheries Restoration, Fed-
eral Aid to Wildlife Restoration,
boat registration fees, unclaimed
motorboat fuel tax, and magazine
subscriptions.
This raid on Fund 9 subtracts
from funds available for fish and
wildlife conservation, and it also
shows poor faith with provisions
of the TPWD's Sunset Bill of 1985 -
- which authorizes the TPWD
Commission to raise fees to cover
the cost of programs. The
commission didraise feeslastyear -
- and now our elected officials
have taken that money from
conservation to use for other
purposes.
Alan Allen, executive director of
the Sportsmen's Clubs of Texas,
Inc., says "Much of the money in
the Game, Fish and Water Safety
Fund (Fund 9) comes from taxes
paid by you and me. By fishermen
when they buy fishing tackle, and
by hunters buying hunting
equipment."
"Those monies are supposed to
be used for fisheries management,
wildlife management, game law
enforcement and other conser-
vation activities of TPWD.
Sportsmen agreed to this, and the
Legislature agreed to it when the
tax laws were passed. Now,
they're reneging on that
agreement. We paid for it They
owe us," says Allen.
Allen says Texas fishermen and
hunters need to contact their
senators and representatives
RIGHT NOW and tell them we
want our money returned, and
don't want any more raids of Fund
9.
We can't let them get away
with it. That money belongs to us,
the folks who buy fishing and
hunting licenses in Texas, and
money IS and WAS earmarked to
keep our fishing and hunting
programs thriving in Texas.
We need to 'change some
thinking in Austin ... and we need
to do it right now. Don't let the
folks who are supposedly
representing us in Austin get away
with robbing us, and our fish and
wildlife programs.

Daddy' little helper. We had
several milk cows, from which we
obtained the milk we drank, and
the butter we used a lot of.
Mother usually helped Dad
milk, and so I thought I would,

from slapping me in the mouth,
' “ ? my balance on the milking
stool, and get a reasonably full
bucket of milk out of (what WAS
that dam cow's name!) well
anyway, one of our cows.
One day, however, Dad was
particularly rushed, and when we
went to the cow-lot, he had me go
ahead and start on this one of cow,
who was notoriously sweet-
natured. She evidently was not
having a good day that day,
though, and being milked by an
inept pinch-fingered little pip-
squeak was not her idea of fun.
I sat down on the stool, got my
bucket all settled, moistened my
hands with a little milk, and began
to squeeze: squeeze, ping! squeeze,
ping! the milk went into the bucket,
then squeeze, BLAP! - she slapped
me with her tail right up beside the
head, sending me sprawling right
^howing. SaW Fund (Fflhd 9). This fund
bucket a swift kick and spilled its
contents on top of me, as I scram-
bled to get out of the way of "Ugly
Sister'"s ugly foot.
I probably gave her a nasty
talking-to, as I left the cow-lot in
tears, and that was the end of my
milking career!
Anyway, I do think the Milking
Parlor would do well to show the
public how entertaining and fun
the old way of milking was, don't
you!?
