U.S. Says‘Troop Protection’ Key To Bomb
Dairy Improvement Group
Picks Elmore Hanks Leader
The annual, meeting of the Washington County Dairy
Herd Improvement Association was held at Seekers Lake
on Wednesday night, August 14. The DHIA, with 32 herds
enrolled, is one of the most worthwhile and progressive
dairy programs in Washington County.
' Following a barbecue supper served to 75 members and
their families, the following officers and directors were
' ‘ elected for the 1969 year: Elmore Hanks, president;
- Edmund Schultz, vice-president; and Jimmy Kettler, sec-
retary-treasurer. Directors will be John Will Fuchs and
Calvin Lehde. Elroy Maass is supervisor of the local
DHIA. "
One of the highlights of the annual meeting, said J.W.
Stufflebeme, County Agent, was the presentation of two •
Golden Age Production Awards made by the Texas Fed-
eration of DMA's Inc. and the Texas A& M University
Extension Service. This is an outstanding award and very
few are presented to Texas dairymen.
One award went to a Holstein Cow, Reba, owned by
Jimmy Kettler of Brenham, Route 2. This cow, in eight
lactations and at nine years and four months of age, pro-
duced 147,720 pounds of milk and 4,582 pounds of butter-
fat . '
Another Holstein, Rose Segis Rolland, owned by John
Will Fuchs of Burton, Route 2, won the award for pro-
ducing 116,260 pounds of milk and 4,799 pounds of butter-
fat in 7 lactations, at eight years and three months of age.
WASHINGTON (UPI) -De-
fense Secretary Clark, M.
Clifford today called for
"some kind of arrangement’’
with North Vietnam whereby
a halt in all U. S. bombing
would not mean American
troops would be placed in
"greater jeopardy." .
He indicated this would
be the key to any U. S. decis-
ion to completely halt the
bombing. ‘
Clifford told a Pentagon

erately set out to deescalate
the war and would continue to :
do so.
He said a "missing fac- £
tor" so far is that Hanoi has s
refused to define the meaning
of what has been called a .
relative lull in the war. .
Clifford said President
Johnson strongly feels bomb- s
ing of North Vietnam cannot -3

there is "some kind ofarran- s

a U. S. step would not place

they are lower than during in-
THE CRAFT OF CHOREOGRAPHY -- These seven staff members are
nationally and internationally respected experts in their specialties invol-
ving “The Craft of Choreography." From left are Josephine Schwarz,
national program director; Peter Longiaru, pianist; Edna Herzog, South-
western Regional Conference chairman; Pauline Koner, director of
choreography; Juli Nunlist, director of music; Fernand Nault, ballet in-
structor; and Jennifer Tipton, technical and production director.
A total of 60 students, in-
structors, technicians and
staff are participating -- on a
very rigorous schedule from
Monday through Friday -- in
the Southwestern Regional
Ballet Festival Association
"Craft of Choreography Con-
ference" at Blinn College.
The conference this sum-
mer is one of four nationally
supported by a matching grant
from the National Endowment
for the Arts and brings to-
gether world and nationally
known specialists in choreo-
graphy to share their know-
ledge with aspiring young per-
sons in the field.
All of the students must be .
14 years of age or older and
must be experienced dancers.
Most of them are already
far advanced in the field, re-
presenting such groups as the
Houston Youth Ballet, Greater
Houston Civic Ballet, Ballet
. . Theatre on the Bay in Texas
City, DaUas Civic Ballet, Ok-
lahoma Civic Ballet in Law- .
ton, Okla., Lake Charles, La.,
Civic Ballet and Amarillo Ci-
vie ballet. There are also
observers from ballet groups
in San Antonio, Shreveport,
Midland, Victoria and St. Jo-
seph, Mo.
They must also have a great
deal of energy to meet a sche-
dule that begins at 8:45 a.m.
and ends at 9:15 p.m. and is
divided into six work sessions
each day. There are well-kn-
own teachers on the staff for
each of type of work — bal-
let, choreography, music and
technical production.
A ‘mock concert each even-
tag packages the day's work
into a final action in one of the
student-teaching fields fol-
lowed by a critique from each
of the pertinent staff mem-
bers.
The students and most of the
staff are living in dormitories
at Blinn College and will con-
tinue their busy schedule of
activities through Friday night
with most of them ending their
stay in Brenham on Saturday.
