Public's Right to Know
The question of what is and what is not public
information has arisen periodically in the past in
dealings between the news media and representatives
of governmental bodies.
Realizing a need to clarify this situation, the 63rd
legislature passed House Bill 6, the public information
act. This bill, which took effect June 14, was approved
by both the Texas House and Senate with only one no
vote.
The new law defines "public information" and gives a
lis+ of things which are specifically public as well as a
list of exceptions.
The "Declaration of Policy" which introduces this bill
includes some thoughts which bear repeating-.
The people, in delegating authority, do not give
public servants the right to decide what is good for the
people to know and what is not good for them to know.
The people insist on remaining informed so that
they may retain control over the instruments they have
created."
Pjblic information is defined in the law as "all
information collected, assembled or maintained by
governmental bodies pursuant to law or ordinance in
connection with the transaction of official business.. "
with a specific list of exceptions.
Information which is now open to the public under the
aw Includes the following.
Completed reports, audits or evaluations of
governmental bodies.
Ncimes, salaries, etc. of governmental employees.
Information dealing with expenditure of public
funds.
Names of officials and final voting records on all
proceedings of governmental bodies.
Completed estimates on the need to make
expenditures of public funds.
Final opinions and orders made in adjudication of
cases.

He was in training in an

Lions
Den
By:
E.B. Musick, Jr.
We were honored to have as
our guests last Thursday Past
District Governor Wilbur Ab-
bey from down Port Arthur
way, Mr. Tom Kindel and Mr.
Manuel Aguilar.
Lion Glen Stanley read a
letter to the club from the
Maximum Security Unit
thanking the Lions for coming
out and playing soft ball with
them. A part of the letter
quote "The staff constantly
reminds us that the general
public is becoming more and
more willing to accept us back
into society, yet some of us still
feel a certain degree od doubt.
These doubts are reduced
greatly when people such as
you have in the Rusk Lions
participate so willingly in a
fellowship program such as we
have had this Summer. You
and your fellow Lion Members
demonstrate responsible citi-
zenship within the community.
Sir, this is one of our best
remotivation programs for it
does support and add meaning
to our becoming well and
assuming our own respons-
ibilities" end quote. The Lions
that took part in this program
should feel very proud indeed.
Lion Glen Stanley introduced
our District Governor Fred
Thornton from Port Arthur.
Governor Thornton made a
great talk to our Rusk Lions.
He stated that he was born in
Knglánd and thus appreciates
what we have here in America
more than the rest of us. He
asked if we realized what had
been given to us. His fathers
first job in the U.S. was digging
a ditch for a sewer line, but he
took advantage of every
opportunity. He stated that we
should all be proud to be an
American and know that the
United States of America is the
land of opportunity even today.
It is also a land of plenty. Look
how many autos we have, how
many other conveniences we
have while half of the world
goes to bed each night hungry.
We have every disease that is
related to overeating. Then
there is the beauty of our
country, and especially the
beauty of our own East Texas
area. Lion Governor stated
that he really never knew what
freedom was until he saw the
Berlin wall. You can look over
the wall and see nothing but
things to keep their people
from escaping. In West Berlin
there are many crosses on the
wall, maybe some flowers with
a name and date in memory of
the ones that did not make it.
Then what makes our Lions
Organization great? The size
for one thing - over one million
men working with the one word
"service" in mind. Then our
interest in our youth. Glasses
for those that cannot buy them,
our wonderful Crippled Child-
rens Camp in Kerrville, and
the many other things that are
done to help them each day.
Our program of "CARE" is so
very important. Building a
school for somebody overseas
that cannot do it themselves.
Helping the Boy Scouts and
Girl Scouts and on and on. We

ton.
At dinner on his first day at
the farm, little Freddie piped
up to say he'd learned how pigs
were made. "Is that right,
dear?" said his aunt hesi-
tantly. "Yeah. Uncle Jim and I
watched seven little pigs
blowing up one big one." See
