goal set
f
Volunteers for the Ameri-
can Heart Association will be
calling on Paducah residents
in February and March to ask
for contributions for the 1981
Heart campaign. This year’s
campaign goal has been set
at $1600.
“The money raised during
our campaign goes to sup-
port research, professional
and public education, and
community service programs
in Paducah,” said Pauline
Polk, chairman of this year’s
Heart Association campaign.
“With costs rising every-
where and because of the
tremendous toll in lives and
money due to heart disease
and stroke each year, it is
absolutely essential that we
reach our goal,” she said.
“Heart disease, stroke and
high blood pressure afflict
more than 40 million Ameri-
cans and are responsible for
half of all deaths in this
country,” said Polk. Of the
nearly one million deaths ,
each year from heart disease
and stoke, more than 200,000
occur before retirement age.
“We need volunteers and
contributions to help in the
fight for your life and ask
that you ‘give generously’
when a volunteer calls on
you,” said Polk.
For an enjoyable evening of dining out, join
us here where food, service and friendliness are
the Best.

Bullock speaks out
on Clayton expenses
ALMOST INVARIABLY it is to your disadvantage to drop a if
insurance policy you are now carrying to take one in a competitt
company.
Your existing policy may have options, cash value, and other benifits
which are more favorable to you and your beneficiary than those in a
new policy.
Perhaps something you’ve read has made you question your present
life insurance coverage. Or maybe someone has recommended that
you replace your policy with a different plan.
Bullock said that while the
reports have been on file
since last month, only Mon-
day did Saralee Tiede of the
DALLAS TIMES HERALD
“finally get around to asking
about my report.”
Bullock pointed out that
Clayton’s political report-
like Bullock’s report— have
been on file with the Secre-
tary of State for “literally
weeks, but some reporters
are just too lazy to get off
their duffs and go read
them.”
“George Kuempel and
Sam Kinch know there is
nothing illegal about the way
Clayton has handled his poli-
tical contributions but they
are intellectually dishonest
enough to make headlines
out of it anyway,” Bullock
said. “And that goes for Bob
Rivard of the other Dallas
rag, too.”
intellectual honesty some of
them have.”

You are building certain cash equities which will increase mor
rapidly as the years go by. New insurance will cost you more tn

THE PADUCAH POST, PADUCAH, TEXAS THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1981
The press corps has taken
some “cheap shots” at Clay-
ton and Lieutenant Governor
Bill Hobby in articles about
using political contributions
to pay airplane expenses, he
said.
Bullock said the press’
treatment of Clayton is parti-
cularly dishonest because
“here’s a man they tried to
convict for NOT reporting
something he never accept-
ed, and now they are trying
to inflame the public because
he has filed full and thorough
disclosure.”
“It also shows how little
some of them have to keep
them busy,” Bullock said,
“and it shows how little

Even if your needs have changed, it may be better to adjust your
present policy instead of switching. This could save you money.

In recent weeks, articles
which appeared in the news-
paper made reference to
portions of the open meeting
laws which were not adequa-
tely clarified.
Several inquiries about
reference to Paragraph H
brought to my attention the
need to print that section of
the law for the benefit of
those who might be interest-
ed. Hopefully, here-to-fore,
we can lay it to rest.
Paragraph H is found in
Chapter 271, Section 3A of
the Vernon Civil Statures as
enacted by the Texas State
Legislature and reads as
follows:
“Notice of a meeting must
be posted for at least 72
hours preceding the day of
the meeting, except that in
case of an emergency or
urgent public necessity,
which shall be expressed in
the notice, it shall be suffi-
cient if notice is posted two
hours before the meeting is
convened. In the event of an
emergency meeting, the pre-
siding officer or the member
calling such meeting shall, if
In correspondence to the
mayor, he read a letter from
the Texas Municipie League,
which reported that legisla-
tion to close loop-holes in the
state unemployment com-
pensation law was stalled in
the state Senate.
UPDATE: The measure,
Sen. Bill No. 2, designed to
curb abusive practices under
the present law, by denying
benefits to people who are
fired for misconduct, or who
leave their jobs voluntarily
without good cause connect-
ed with their job, was report-
ed Sunday in a wire service
story from Austin, to have
been approved on final pas-
sage by a vote of 21-9.
A return to work provision
would require such persons
to work at another job for at
least six weeks before they
are eligible for unemploy-
ment compensation, accord-
ing to the bill.
Policeman Glendenning’s
monthly report showed he
issued 23 traffic tickets in
January, 27 warning tickets,
two for parking violations
and 3 for burning trash.
He had answered 26 dis-
turbance calls, arrested 11,
worked 3 accidents, includ-
ing one in a parking lot, for a
total of 81. He also worked
one theft and answered 3 fire
alarms and had driven a total
of 1,710 miles.

as we know it today and is concerned about what the government
should do with land which it would acquire by foreclosure.
For over two hundred years the American family farmer has
been able to produce the food and fiber to feed and clothe the
people of this nation and much of the world, at very reasonable
costs to the consumer. It seems foolish to pursue a governmental
policy which could destroy this productive ability because a few
GOVERNMENTAL PLANNERS believe that a better system can
be devised. SUPPOSE THEY ARE WRONG!
Next week we will analyze the consequences of the new
“corporate agriculture” as envisioned by Luther Tweeten and its
effect on the consumer food dollar.
