Verity seems oblivious to such problems. A
former co-chairman of a group called the U.S.-
U.S.S.R. Trade and Economic Council, he has
long campaigned for massive increases in
bilateral trade. The group's current president
actually says that Washington should help
Moscow become an economic superpower.
Rep. Jack Kamp, R-N.Y., wants Verity to tell

Not only is the Sandy Harbor area
in need of dredging and clean-up,

such as the Llano River finger.
Dredging and clean-up would cer-

"I do not want to see an increase in U.S. in-
vestments, loans and joint ventures until we
are assured that Soviet economic and financial
gains will not be used to fuel Soviet op-
pression at home and aggression abroad,"
Kemp says.
Soviets on the trade council would likely be
willing to provide such assurances — and then
ignore them. The State Department says
about one-third of those on the council are
agents of the KGB secret police.

another 32 million acres had been
granted to railroads to encourage
their building and millions more had
been set aside to support public
schools. The University of Texas and
other needed services. Eventually
more than 166 million acres of the
lands were divested.

manages more than 22.5 million
acres. These include wetlands, bays,

FOOTNOTE TO HISTORY — One
state agency that is as old as the
independence of Texas is the Gener-
al Land Office.
Established in December, 1836, by
the First Congress of the new
Republic of Texas, the Land Office
was one of the earliest forerunners of
today’s sprawling bureaucracy. Its
initial responsibility was to collect
the records pertaining to the 216
million acres of land Texas owned at
the time.
Also the Land Office was required
to verify the claims to the titles of
thousands of acres which had been
granted during the rules of Spain
and Mexico. Among these were the
307 titles awarded to the original
settlers brought in by Stephen F.
Austin after 1821.
Because land was the only resource
Texas had at the time, it elected to
use this vast acreage to bring in
settlers. People were needed, not

I, too, have written to LCRA with
no reply or action. My last request
for action was with the HLTA
(Highland Lakes Tourist Associa-
tion), asking for their intervention.
Tourists and vacationers are consis-
tently asking when is LAKE LBJ
going to be cleaned up?
We have entrusted with HLTA the
promotion of the Highland Lakes’
area to vacationers. Unless LCRA
can dean up and make safe our
lakes, the vacationers will not return.
Proper clean-up of Lake LBJ will
certainly benefit us all.
Newspapers generally cannot cre-
ate action, only advertise peoples’
wishes. Possibly, if landowners,
water sports enthusiasts, and water
users wrote to Mr. Freeman of LCRA
and Carol Stuewe of HLTA expres-
sing these needs, action could be
provided. Not until overwhelming
comment is made will anything be

One trend that The Wanderer is
delighted to see is that pancakes are
beginning to gain the recognition
they deserve. The Wanderer has
long held the theory that pancakes
are not just for breakfast. They're
a good meal any time. And that is
something most restaurants have not
learned, or if they have, they’ve kept
it quiet, because it’s just too much
trouble to keep the griddle the right
temperature all day.
There are few things more appe-
tizing to a hungry person than a
stack of steaming brown pancakes,
plenty of butter and syrup. Of
running out, we must get the
message out to every Texan.

Another of The Wanderer's favor- . 1
ite goodies that is fast coming into its “
own is popcorn. Years ago when one
planted a garden he always planted a
couple of rows of popcorn. Then after
waiting for it to grow, you pulled the 21
ears, shelled it, and put it in a 22
contraption that looked like a basket
on the end of a hoe handle, which :2
you held over the fireplace to cook, -1
burning up half of it before it 2a
popped. - 2
But things have taken a big change 1
for the better. You can now go into a j
store and mull in the popcorn 33
department. You’ll find it in jars, 3
sacks, boxes, etc., and buttered, 3
plain, or otherwise. Just take it home 3
and pop it in the microwave, sack 33
and all, and in a couple of minutes 3
you've got popcorn, and no dishes to '
wash.
One of the best presents The 2
Wanderer got for his last birthday 2
was a big box of microwave popcorn 3
from Jack Little, and he can now
have popcorn whenever he likes
especially in the South. One of the
prinicpal joys of traveling, to The
Wanderer, has always been the
opportunity to eat plenty of pancakes
and waffles.
If you go into most restaurants
after the middle of the morning and
ask for pancakes, they’ll look at you
like you were something that crawled
out of the woodwork and tell you with now and then you will find a pancake 22

The Soviet Union is arrogantly trying to cut a
deal that would slash its purchases from U.S.
farmers and triple its sale of manufactured
goods to U.S. consumers.
"According to Soviet statements, their plan
is to phase out U.S. grain sales," says Scott
Sullivan, director of economic security for the
Pentagon. "They want to become export-
competitive." Moscow would like to increase
U.S.-Soviet trade from less than $3 billion a
year to more than $10 billion, he says.
That goal threatens U.S. strategic as well as
economic interests. The Soviets use the hard
currency earned by their exports to subsidize
dictators, terrorists and spies. Turncoats such
as John Walker are paid in dollars.
Mikhail Gorbachev's plan to restructure the
Soviet economy should, instead, strengthen
the case against giving the Soviet Union a
privileged trade position with the United
States.
The only reason why restructuring of the
Soviet economy is even being considered is
that the existing system is a failure: Moscow
has to choose between further alienating its
own citizens and scaling down its global am-

Albert DeWinne’s suggestions con-
tained in his letter to the editor that
appeared in the Llano News last
Thursday about the deplorable con-
dition of the filling-in of sand in the
Sandy Creek area of Sandy Harbor
and Sunrise Beach. Yes, and in most
of the LBJ Lake.
Like Albert DeWinne, I too have
owned property at Sunrise Beach
since 1963 and although we are just
weekend residents, it saddens us to
see what is happening to our
beautiful lake and hill country
because of this sad situation.
I concur in everything Albert
DeWinne says and would like to offer
my suggestions as to how the
situation could be corrected at no
cost to LCRA or the taxpayers.
It is my understanding that this
sand from Sandy Crek and Llano
River is ideal for ready-mix concrete
plant operations. So, why not utilize
a boat dredge, beginning at the
mouth of both streams, load the sand
onto barges, float them to a location
adjacent to the railroad at Kingsland
where it could be loaded directly
from the barge into open top hopper
rail cars, thence moved by rail to the
various ready-mix concrete plants
throughout South Texas — princi-
pally to cities like Austin, Houston,
Corpus Christi, San Antonio and
many others.
Such an operation would improve
the efficiency of our Highland Lakes,
increase land values and create
additional interest in people to come
to our beautiful lakes and hill
country.
How I wish Lyndon Johnson could
be here with us and see how
effectively he would handle the
situation.
