The uncertain future of the
Gatesville School for Boys and
the Mountain View Unit domi-
nated action taken by the execu-
tive committee of the Central
Texas Council of Governments
Thursday.
The CTCOG committee pass-
ed three resolutions related to
Gatesville state facilities; two
of which fous on the school’s
future use in the event it is
closed by court order.
One resolution calls for the
Gatesville School to be used
either by the Texas Department
of Corrections or for a $11
million federal youth rehabi-
litation center which the Federal
Bureau of Prisons has proposed
be located in Texas.
Another resolution authorizes
a festbiltty study on facilities at
Gatesvile to determine their
"best use” if the reformatory
to closed. The resolution also
states the study should deter-

Mills County Farm Bureau has
joined an all-out, statewide ef-
fort to increase consumption of
meat, poultry and dairy products
during the holiday season, ac-
cording to Bill Bishop of Gold-
thwait, president.
The organization will promote
the giving of certificates for
these products as holiday gifts,
he said. "We .think this is a
posttive appraoch in assisting
those commodities which are in
serious trouble,” he explained.
The local FB leader saidthere
are two ways this can be done
conveniently:
(1) Through buying gift certi-
ficates (redeemable in those
commodities) at grocery stores.
"We are providing gift certifi-
cates to stores which do not
have their own, along with color-
fal rift envelopes,” he said.
(2) Through giving a check or
money order. Farm Bureau will
provide an attractive message
card (explaining the gift idea)
along with a nice gift envelope.
The County Farm Bureau office
at Goldthwaite in Mills County
has a supply of both items, free
of charge.
Wednesday, November 20, U.S.
183 and Business 84 was the
scene of a two-vehicle accident.
The accident, which occured a-
round 10:25 a.m., involved a
1971 Chevrolet station wagon
driven by Jack Lynn of South-
villa, Michigan, and a 1969 Ford
pickup driven by Clyde Kerby of
Goldthwaite.
The station wagon, traveling
south on 183, apparently failed
to yield right of way at the red
light, thereby colliding with the
Kerby vehicle which was headed
east on Business 84. No injuries
were received in the accident.
Damage sustained by the sta-
tion wagon was estimated as
minor, while heavy damage was
estimated on the right front fend-
er of the Kerby vehicle.
Sunday, November 24, at 5:40
p.m. on U.S. 183 south of Gold-
thwaite, a 1974 Ford struck a
deer in the roadway. The driver
of the car, Patricia Farmer of
Baytown, was uninjured. Minor
damage was sustained by the
car.

The L C. A. of -Texas is a
red meat marketing association
and while it is till a young or-
ganization it already has over
100,000 members from the more
than 100 counties that had been
organized to date. More coun-
ties are being organized each
day.
Cunningham said that the I.
C. A. is planning a meeting with
the Texas Congressional dele-
gation in Washington, D. C. on
Dec. 3 and at that time will dis-
cuss steps which should be taken
to stop importation of beef into
the United States and ways of
utilizing more domestic red
meats. In addition, banking reg-
ulation changes must be provided
that will ease the financial strain
on many farmers and ranchers
that face possible foreclosure of
their loans through various fi-
nancial institutions. While in
Washington, Cunningham also
plans to meet with the Federal
Reserve Board. Prior to the
Washington meeting, Cunningham
plans to visit with Robert Stew-
art, Banking Commissioner of
Texas, in order to obtain his
thoughts on changes that might
be made to be of assistance to
the farmer and rancher.

Tbs' judges for foe etaw were
entertained at a coffee held to
the home of Mrs. C. A. Skip-
pings before the judging. A
salad luncheon was served to
Barnett, director of New Hori-
rone Ranch Inc. at Goldthwaite,
requesting that the Legislature
better utilize existing facilities
which care for the emotionally
deprived delinquent and neglect-
ed youths.
Barnett told the committee that
Texas does not provide funds for
such care and warned that if
the Gatesville facilities are
closed, there will be a greater
need for juvenile residential
treatment programs in all sec-
tions of the state.

Committees of the county or-
ganization are calling on gro-
cery stores to encourage their
participation, he added. Farm
Bureau is. also providing the
necessary supplies (certificates,
window posters, etc.), and will
publicize the promotion through
advertising and publicity releas-
es. Committees are already busy
on these projects, he said.
The Texas Farm Bureau to
helping to coordinate the effort
on a statewide basis along with
many other agricultural groups.
The Texas Department of Ae
riculture has committed its TAP
(Texas Agricultural Products)
program to the promotion'. The
Texas Retail Grocers Associa-
tion and large food chains are
also participating.
State Farm Bureaus in several
other states are carrying on sim-
ilar promotions, Bishop said.
"This can truly be an effective
campaign if we all work at it,"
he declared.____________________

On Wednesday, Nov. 20, T. A.
Cunningham, President of the
Independent Cattlemen’s Asso-
ciation of Texaa, met with Gov-
ernor Dolph Briscoe to discuss
the many problems facing the
livestock producer and the agri-
cultural Industry st this time In
Texas and throughout the United
States.
Cunningham said "I was very
• pleased to have the opportunity
to visit with Gov. Briscoe and
give him detailed information on
the purposes of our association
and to seek the Governor’s assis-
tance for the livestock producers
in solving the many complex
problems which we face. The
Governor has a thorough under-
standing of these problems and
expressed Ma desires generally
to do what he could to be of
assistance. The Independent
Cettle men's Assn, is hopeful that
Texas, through the initiative of
the Governor’s office, can take
the lead nationally to save the
livestock producer from finan-
cial disaster and in fact the
entire agricultural industry
which is the backbone of this
country.”
Cunningham Mid that several
years ago Governor Briscoe was
responsible for initiating the
screwworm eradication program
to Texas and the L C. A. has
used a similar method to es-
tablish its organization. With the
warm beauty set off
