AMERICAN PARTY NEEDS
PRECINCT CHAIRMEN
I ________________________________
j The American Party needs pre-: I
cinct chairmen for voting precincts ; |
' in the Groom and Skellytown areas ' ■
according to Gene Ballard of -
White Deer, Carson County Chair-
man for the American Party.
Legal requirements for a person
desiring to be a precinct chairman ,
for the party are: They must be a i
registered voter in the voting pre-1
cinct which they represent, they,
must not have voted in any politi-
cal party’s 1968 primary election,!
and they must not 'be affiliated;
with any other political party this
- year, Ballard explained.
"County chairmen are authorized
to appoint temporary precinct
chairmen, but we feel it best that
concerned individuals select their
own people to represent them,”
Ballard stated.
Information on becoming a pre-
cinct chairman for the American
Party can be obtained by writing
The Wallace Campaign, Box 273, .
White Deer, Texas, Ballard pointed .
out.
February 15, the American Par-
ty advised the Texas Secretary of
State it would not have nominees
for statewide offices, but it intend-
ed to certify candidates for Pres-
ident and Vice President of the
United States and for Presidential
Electors.
“The American Party will have
no candidates for ofifces in Carson
County on the 1968 General Elec-
tion ballot,” Ballard said.

MANY TEXANS HAVE
LOW VITAMIN C DIETS
Many Texans have diets low
in vitamin C. Mrs. Gwendolyne
Clyatt, Texas A&M College Exten-
sion consumer marketing special-
ist, suggests how to handle fruits
and vegetables rich in vitamin C
to retain their nutritive value and
keep within the budget.
To keep costs as low as possible
and have foods of top quality, buy
items in season. Fresh grapefruit
and oranges are excellent source
of vitamin C; they are in greatest
supply in mid-winter. Stay within
the budget by using turnip greens,
mustard greens, collards, cabbage,
green peppers, broccoli, strawber-
ries, cantaloupe, and canned to-
matoes—all high in vitamin C—in
menus.
, u Vitamin C is easily destroyed,
! cannot ibe stored in the body, so
! include some of the foods high in it
I every day. Do not expose the
1 foods unnecessarily to the air by
' chopping into small pieces and do
, not overcook them, says the Texas
A&M University specialist. Use j
just the amount of water necessary!
for cooking crisp tender and don’t
ity parks in Texas since the Land
and Water Conservation Act was
passed in 1965.
