to build or improve public buildings
for which they are responsible,
listened closely to two different
methods which are available. The

The first weekend of the Highland Lakes Bluebonnet Trail begins
Saturday, April 9 and despite a distinct shortage of bluebonnets, there
are still enough around to get some good pictures. An extended dry
spell has been the primary problem limiting the growth of the flowers.
Nevertheless, there is plenty to do in the Highland Lakes this weekend
and the following weekend April 16 and 17 with festivals, art shows, a
fishing tournament, a 10K run, a fiddlers fest and the first visit of the
Texas Indian Hobbyists to Llano.

His mother, Darlene Dishman, told

returned home to Llano Monday
evening, but Jim Bob would be
required to go to Breckenridge daily
for several days to have treatment
for his burns. "He will probably
need plastic surgery on his hands,
chest, and left arm,” she said. “But
we are so very thankful that he was
spared. Everyone has been wonder-
ful to all of us and we appreciate it
more than you will ever know.”

organizers urge all visitors to learn more about them, become members
of the group and join in the good fellowship provided.
TIHA is a non-profit organization chartered by the state of Texas.
It was in 1956 that two Sam Houston State College men embarked on
the idea of having an exposition of Indian crafts and lore from other
Scouts and Scouters. The idea drew immediate response and now there
can be anywhere from 300-400 participating in their campouts.
The group meets four times a year, with three visits planned for
Llano. The fourth visit will be at some other major event in the state.
Since its organization, the TIHA has participated in the Brenham
Indian Festival, the Austin Aqua Festival, and other places, such as
Lubbock, Lampasas, Uvalde, Mexia, Hubbard and now Llano.
