Vote FOR City Elections
Absentee voting in two important city elections is now
underway. One ballot is an official election to accept or reject
the issuance of $175,000 water revenue bonds. The second ballot
is a referendum to ascertain voters' wishes regarding the
extension of farm to market road 343, connecting with U. S.
Highways 84 and 69.
The passage of the water bond election is an absolute
necessity if citizens of Rusk hope to keep pace with future needs.
The summer of 1972 was wet enough to prevent shortage of
water, but one good drought could mean the difference in having
water and not having water.
Donation of two water wells has greatly reduced the cost of
providing adequate water for future use. The election would
approve funds for the development of this gift by W. K. Nichols
of Dallas.
Rusk is fortunate to have a civic minded man like Mr. Nichols,
who is working for the growth and development of our
community.
The second election has been one of question in the minds of
some citizens. There are those who feel that traffic should be
routed through the business district to assure as much local
spending as possible by the transients.
Neither of these elections is expected to necessitate a tax
increase.
Here again, it is important for everyone to remember that
times have changed and continue to change. Today most
persons shop where they want to. If residents elect to trade
elsewhere, the short distance of a few extra miles to reach their
destination will make little difference. The important fact to
consider is the convenience to the motorist in getting where he
wants to go with as little congestion and frustration as possible.
It would seem that the diversion of heavy, commercial trucks
from the business district would be an asset. The proposed
extension would make it easier for certain segments of the
county to reach the high school and Rusk State Hospital. There
are other advantages. The new road would open new areas for
development industrially or residentially. And too, it would
assure the continued growth of the road system which is
maintained by the Rusk office of the Texas Highway
Department.
The question most frequently asked is, "How much will this
road cost the city, and can the city afford the cost".
Rusk's city government has bought and paid for right of way
expenses to widen U. S. 84 east and west. It could be assumed
that during a two to three year period while awaiting approval of
the new road, funds could be allocated for the $30,000 which is
anticipated for Rusk's share of the project. U. S. 84 costs were
accomplished at no increase in taxes. Certainly, an additional
$30,000 spread out over a several year period could be budgeted
without an increase in taxes.
Rusk has grown, and is growing, under an economical
operation of the city. Faith in the town's leadership to continue
this effective growth is reason enough to move forward, without
fear of "where is the money coming from."
If the state can afford to spend $700,000 for a road project of
this size and service to Rusk, it would seem ungrateful of us not
to find the small cost involved to the City of Rusk.
Transportation has always been a vital key to the growth of
any area. It is hoped that the majority of the citizenship will see
the importance of this key to the door of opportunity.
Vote for the water development. Vote for the extension of FM
road 343. Generations to come will be grateful.

Our guests th¡« Thursday
included Mr. George Peace of-
Rusk, and we hope that he will
become a new Lion, and three
members of the Leo Club. Mr.
David Slaton. Mr. John Chap-
man and Miss Sue Roberts.
Lions Billy Watson and Glen
Stanley met with the Leo Club
at their last meeting and things
seem to be going really good
for them. We are looking
forward to some accomplish-
ments that they will be real
proud of in the very near
future. Lion President Cooper
stated that we would have a
very beautiful lady for our
program this week and it
would be a CARE program.
Lion Jack Fitts reported that
we still have some light bulbs
for sale. You are always in
need of light bulbs, these are
the very best and the price is
what you would have to pay in
the stores so why not help the
Lions? Just get in tough with
any Lion and they will fill your
order, even free deliver)
Do you know the definition of
a Bachelor? It is One who has
passed up the chance of
making a woman miserable-in
favor of letting her do it
herself.
October is membership
month and as we all well know
out quota is six new members.
We need to keep on the lookout
for new men moving into our
city and to replace our dropped
members with new or reinstat-
ed members. We need to give
an impressive picture of Lion-
ism to prospective members.
And the Rusk Club has been
very impressive in getting
things done. Our Membership
Committee is one of our most
important Committees. Not
only do they pass on new
members but they must watch
out for any noticeable weak-
ness in club programs, meet-
ing place, meals, activities,
etc., and submit a report to the
Board of Directors asking that
appropriate action be taken.
TTiey try to prevent members
from resigning by ascertaining
reasons for loss of interest and
correcting conditions if the
club is at fault. They maintain
contact with District Officers
and Lions International re-
garding local membership
problems. Keeping in mind
constantly that Membership
Retention is a major part of its
activity, that each Lions Club
must grow constantly, but
must grow wisely by proper
screening of candidates. So let
us get six new members, not

James M. Williams was
living in Anderson County in
1861 although he is not on the
1860 Census. He was a wagon
maker by trade and was
buying his steel, iron and other
supplies from the North before
the Civil War. He joined the
Confederate Army in the
Spring of 1862. I have been
unable to prove his papers
because of the common name.
This man fought in the four
major battles, surrendering at
Appomattox Courthouse. He
married Sarah Jayne Haywood
who was living with her father
and family in Anderson County
at Catfish Bluff, near Cauga,

HOOFED MAMMALS OF
THE WORLD by T. Donald
Carter and Ugo Mochi;
Charles Scribner's Sons, New
York, 1971, 253 pages, $9.95
For the first time in one
volume, over 300 species and
subspecies of hoofed mammals
are carefully depicted and
illustrated as they exist in their
natural habitat. HOOFED
MAMMALS OF THE WORLD
possesses a unique style of its
own: a combination of simple,
yet scientific language by T.
Donald Carter united with Ugo
Mochi's silhoueted outlines of
animals.
Mochi's tools are a simple
lithographer's knife and black
paper and his products are
masterpieces of interpretation
and style. Because color and
shade are merely secondary
distinguishing characteristics
of a mammal, the artist
concentrates on illustrations
which relate to shape and
motion.
T. Donald Carter uses his
knowledge and talent to pro-
duce an interesting description
of 35 families and 300 species.
Physical characteristics are
included as well as habitat and
how the animals are related.
Although 90 species are listed
as rare or endangered, hoofed
mammals or ungulates are the
most important group of ani-
mals to man. From the
beginning of man's existence j
to the present, ungulates have
been! domesticated, used for i
transportation and recreation,
and bred for food and clothing.
The use of scientific terms is
kept to a minimum throughout
the book. However, the Latin
genus and species are given for
each because common names!
are not standardized. Carter I
noted, as an example, that a
gopher to Texans is a tortoise |
in Florida.
HOOFED MAMMALS OFl
THE WORLD has become a I
classic since its first publica-1
tion in 1953. Copies of the!
original editions are collector's!
items and sell for as much as|
$100.
Ugo Mochi was born inl
Florence, Italy and attended!
the Art Academy in Berlin.!
Examples of his unique art arel
displayed in the New York I
Metropolitan Museum of Artl
and the American Museum of|
Natural History.
Donald Carter was a formerl
staff member of the New York!
Zoological Society and Assis-
tant Curator of the American I
Museum of Natural History I
and has studied animals onl
expeditions from China and!
Indochina to Brazil and Vene-1
zuela. The team combines!
simplicity and precision to I
portray the natural history of|
hoofed mammals.
Because it is the first volume I
to include all hoofed ungulates,!
it is a must for environmental-!
ists who are concerned with!
endangered species and inter-1
ested in broadening their own!
scope. This book will bel
referred to many times and|
will never grow old.
