VOWS TO SEE DINOSAUR IN
’76--Young Joel Youngblood resolutely
declares he plans to visit his great
grandfather-who calls him ‘Dinosaur
Joe’--in Tennessee next July. At that
time he’ll see the dinosaurs in the
Smoky Mountains, he said. Another
resolution of the four-year-old is to help
his grandparents, with whom he and
his baby sister live, by picking up his
toys. Sometimes adults are put in their
place when questioning youngsters.
Perhaps he felt it was irrelevant, in
that Joel’s logical response to the
question of what he was going to be
when he grew up was, “A big boy.”
Another promise he plans to keep-and
one which will undoubtedly require
less self-discipline-is to play a lot. He is
the son of Cynthia Youngblood and the
grandson of Mr. and Mrs. B.R. Taylor
of 220 Thomas.

SETS GOALS-Striving to improve her
scholastic abilities is in Juanita Ben-
itez’s schedule for the upcoming year.
“I want to make better grades at
school,” said the fifth grade student at
Nola Dunn Elementary. She revealed
that she makes A’s in her favorite
subject, math, but doesn’t fare as well
in social studies. Juanita, 10, also plans
to intensify her study of music in hopes
of learning more about it during 1976.
Presently she sings alto with the
Junior Choir at First Baptist Church.
More especially, she enjoys singing
solos. Her ambition is to one day
become a singer and appear on
telelvision. Her preference, she says, is
religious music. The daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Arnulfo Benitez of 631 Judith,
she has four brothers and two sisters.
Another resolution- quite different
from one made by many adults-is to
gain weight.

ILLUSTRATIONS OF A VARIED YEAR-Whether you
rate 1975 as good, bad or indifferent, one thing’s for
certain-it was certainly a year of varied activity in
Burleson as the pictures on page 5 plainly illustrate. [See
also the review of Star headlines on pg. 1]. Various
groups planned Bicentennial projects such as [photo 1]
the Burleson bumper sticker put out by the chamber of
commerce. Other groups rose up in protest such as the
Concerned Citizens Utilities Association [#2], over high
rural electric rates, and the Citizens for Responsible
Education [#3], who attended many school board
meetings. Other groups won honors and awards as
examplified by Burleson FFA boys [#9] and the Elk band
[#4]. It was a year of much construction, both on buildings
and on streets. Examples are IH-35W [#13]; Johnson
Ave. [#8J; the police department expansion [#7]; the
Seventh Day Adventist Hospital [#6]; and the new
building for the Assembly of God [#10]. The year saw the
split in the City of Briaroaks [#5] and a beautification
project along SH174 through Burleson [#12]. There were
l. parade^, such as Homecoming and July 4th [#11], big

This power plant is being built in East Texas
at Martin Lake near Henderson. It will make
electricity by burning lignite coal.
We have to build lignite plants because were
running out of low-cosf natural gas, our main fuel
today. New supplies are hard to get and very costly.
Lignite plants cost more than twice as much
to build as comparable gas-fired plants, and that
means electricity will cost more. But expensive as
they are. lignite plants will still make electricity more
cheaply than plants using high-priced gas.
That's because our large lignite supplies,
acquired many years ago. are much cheaper than
new supplies of gas. And using cheap fuel is one way
were keeping your electric bill as low as possible.
The average bill for Texas Electric customer^
is already well below the national average,
and were working to keep it that way.
