OTERO COWBELLES
MEET
TRAN. WEST PARK
Dell City, Texas 79837
Manx cats, the breed
known for its lack of tails,
call home the Isle of Man
in the Irish Sea.
“A journey of a thousand miles
begins with one step.” If you
face a task today so long or so
hard that it seems like a journey
of a thousand miles, remember
that it still begins with one step.
Take that step, and then the
next, and the next. Don’t look
too far ahead if it is a poor view.
Look at now and meet each day
as it comes without “borrowing
trouble” from tomorrow. Any-
one can take one step. And if
you keep taking one step at a
time, you can get through even
a journey of a thousand miles!

One of the most malleable
of metals, gold can be
hammered into sheets so
thin they are almost trans-
parent.
The meeting adjourned for a
delicious lunch after which our
guest, Shelley Frost, an ex-
change student from Port
Elizabeth, South Africa,
showed slides of her country.
Shelley is a very interesting
and intilligent girl and told us
many interesting things about
South Africa. She had just
graduated from high school in
January and was very knowled-
geable, not only about her
country, but of ours ton.

general search andrescue man-
agement
At the conclusion of the sem-
inar, there was a cave rescue
demonstration at the entrance
to Carlsbad Caverns just prior
to one of the evening bat flight
programs which was viewed by
600 park visitors.
During the National Speleolo-
gical Society convention in
Tularosa, the park had an ex-
hibit on display about the exp-
loration and history of Carlsbad
Caverns and also distributed
brochures about the park and
other area attractions and also
on the conservation of bats.
Carlsbad Caverns National
Park was set aside as a national
part to protect and to provide
for visitor enjoyment of its many
significant cave resources. In
addition to the park’s main de-
veloped cavern which has now
been visited by over 27 million
people, there are 71 other un-
developed caves in the park.

CROW FLAT
C. WARREN
We have had another week of high temperatures and dry wea-
ther with cloudy afternoons but very little moisture. Cotton
must thrive on this kind of weather for the cotton between Crow
Flat and Dell City looks better every time I go to town.

I had a nice "road" visit with Dean Wood and Dan Lafferty
when I went into Dell City, Saturday. They had to stop to keep
from running over me.
Dean was in rare form, as usual. He said that he and Dan, in
running the 5 S Ranch at Comudas, and the "Apron String Ranch"
north of Dell City got to take a 15 minute break about every two
weeks, Dan and Dean said the cattle were fat and doing well on
both ranches. Dan promised to send some more poetry. He also
said that the hot, dry weather of the desert, just suited him. In
the state of New York, where the Laffertys came from, if the
temperature was 90°, the humidity might be 98.

Ruby Lewis hopes to get to return to her home on Crow Flat
shortly after checking with her doctor in Lubbock on August 14.

After many calls over the past few weeks, I finally got in
touch with Father Casey, in Selma, Alabama. He said that he
entered a hospital there on July 26. They let him out ofter a
week, but kept his cigars. Other than being weak, he said he
felt pretty good and sends greetings to all his friends in Dell
Valley. Joe Casey is in Selma with Father Casey, his brother.

Aurora Gomez, who has carried Ina and me to El Paso so many
times, was recently stranded in Juarez for two weeks when she
took her mother home. The Panistas, protesting the recent elec-
tions, had the bridges blocked as a protest for what they claim-
ed a fraud in the elections.

Janey Cedillo, Robert, Beto and Priscilla came out for a visit
Sunday evening, which I enjoyed very much.

cave restoration field camp, .
525 hours of labor were donat-

ious cavers who demonstrated
their "pride in America"
through this special effort, The
value of the donated labor was
estimated at $4100, Projects
accomplished included restora-
tion of about 7000 square feet
of cave floor area to a more
natural state and removal of a
large amount of unnatural con-
struction fill material from the
cavern, A total of 240 cavers
were taken on 16 separate field
trips into areas of the cavern
not normally open to visitors,
and six special geological tours
were conducted through the
main developed part of the
cavern to bring visiting geolo-
gists up to date on the latest
studies relating to the formation
of caves in the Guadalupe
Mountains area.
The National Cave Rescue
Commission seminar held after
the convention was attended by
27 police officers, firemen,
medical technicians, and cave-
cavers in various other occupa-
tions from across the U. S, and
Puerto Rico. Topics covered,
both through discussion and in
actual practice rescues above
and below ground, included

hauling and transportation of

FB PRES SAYS
SPENDING CUTS
SHOULD BE 'EQUAL*
AUSTIN — The Texas Farm
Bureau agrees with Go vemor
Mark White’s call for spending
cuts, but differs on how to do it,
according to S. M. True, presid-
ent of the state’s largest farm
organization.
"We agree with Governor White
that expenditures should be cut
and applaud his insistence on
efficiency in all state agencies,
tiie Plainview cotton and grain
farmer said following the Gover-
nor's message Wednesday to the
special called session of the
Legislature.
’’We disagree with the Governor
that there are some programs
that shouldn’t be cut; " True said.
"If we are serious about balanc-
ing the budget, spending re dict-
ions should be administered equ-
ally across the board, and I em-
phasize 'equally'. "
The farm leader said Farm
Bureau believes local taxes should
not be increased to make up for
state budget cuts.
"Now is the time for elected
officials to be statesmen and
set aside partisan political int-
; erests, " True said.
I want to thank the dear peo-
ple who are still sending me
messages of sympathy, and
thanks again and again to the
ones who have made donations
in memory of Ina:

Beard, El Paso, Texas,
to Shriners Bum Institute,
Galveston, Texas

gins, Longview, Texas, to
