a name plate, but a sample of the 1965 auto license plate for
Texas which is on display at the county tax collector’s office
in Odessa, Tex. The letters and zeros looked so much like
“say moo” that the photographer declined to hang the plate
on a real cow, or maybe it’s a bum steer.

Big Business at
Texas Tourist
Attractions
AUSTIN (Special)—Business is
brisk at tourist attractions across
the state, a mid-year survey by
the Texas Tourist Development
Agency has disclosed. And it is
expected to get even better dur-
ing the last half of the year
when most Americans vacation.
Attendance records for the
first six months of 1964 show
an increase of 15 per cent over
the same period last year.
A breakdown of the figures
reveals that, although Texans
themselves still account for most
of the business, an increasing
number of out-of-state visitors
are discovering the state’s ap-
peal.
In fact, gains ranging from
three to eight per cent in non-
Texas business were reported.
At least one said more than half
its customers are now coming
from other states.
Included in the study were
16 attractions, among them six
state parks selected for their
geographic distribution across
the state.
Together they reported serv-
ing 10,123,359 persons, an in-
crease of 1,518,503 in compari-
son with the first half of 1963.
Largest single increase was
reported at Lake Tawakoni by
the Sabine River Authority.
That northeast Texas attraction,
still relatively new, drew 1,040,-
000 during the first half of the
year—an increase of 77 per cent
over the same period last year.
In contrast, giant Lake Texo-
ma on the Texas-Oklahoma bor-
der, grew only .02 per cent in
attendance during the same per-
iod. But it still attracted 3,396,-
100 visitors, said the U. S. Corps
of Engineers, to lead the list in
total numbers.
“Business is better too this
summer, particularly in regard
to gross dollars,” said the Lake
Texoma Association.
. Among the leaders was Six
Flags Over Texas, the theme
park between Dallas and Fort
Worth, with a six-month attend-
ance of 1,035,012. The increase
was 25 per cent above last year.
Six Flags also reported an 8
per cent gain in out-of-state
visitors. Officials noted that non-
Texans accounted for 30 per
cent of total business in the first
six months. “But,” they added,
“the ratio is climbing tremend-
ously now that we.are entering
our peak season.”
Up sharply too was the Buck-
horn Hall of Horns at the Lone
Star Brewery in San Antonio. It
recorded a, 21 per cent increase
for the first half-year, hosting
249,838 visitors.
The Caverns of Sonora betwe-
en Sonora and Ozona counted
some 30,000 visitors for a 20 per
cent increase.
San Marcos’ Aquarena played
host to 260,000 visitors, up near-
ly 16 per cent. Officials there
estimate 20 per cent of their
guests are non-Texans.
The Alamo, which said 129,
973 visitors signed its register
during the first six months, post-
ed a 14 per cent increase.
“And July is showing a much
heavier traffic than June, hint-
ing further increases,” said Ala-
mo officials. .
A 12 per cent gain was record-
ed by the Padre Island Cause-
way at Corpus Christi, having
checked 247,879 visitors onto
Padre Island.
Causeway officials, noting that
53 per cent of their visitors
came from out-of-state, said non-
Texas traffic was up 3 per cent
for the first six months. Traf-
fic described as “local” posted
a 7 per cent gain, while that
from the remainder of Texas
shot up 52 per cent.
Also included in the survey
was Alamo Village at Brackett-
ville and the six state parks:
Garner, Lake Corpus Christi,
Inks Lake, Davis Mountains, Palo
Duro Canyon and Huntsville.

Rockett visited his mother, Mrs.

Birth Control '
Not Discussed
in Encyclical
Vatican City-Pope Paul did
not discuss birth control in his
Encyclical today.
The spirit of Roman Catholic
renewal and development of
birth control pills have led to
a major review of church policy
on population growth. But the
Pope indicated June 23rd it may
be months before conclusions
are announced. Theological and
medical experts are working on
moral and practical aspects.
For the present, Pope Paul
has confirmed the validity of ex-
isting rules against artificial bir-
th control methods.
1 Vatican circles believe the
chief result of the study will
concern oral contraceptive pills.
The basic position of the chur-
ch on birth control is expected
to remain unchanged, with em-
phasis on improving economic
conditions, not contraception.
Recent visitors in the home of
Mrs. L. H. Barnhardt included
Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Sawyers and
Mrs. Ervin Elgan of Dallas and
Mrs. Leva McKeever of Ferris.
Mr. and Mrs. O. R. Sealy had
as Sunday guests, Mr. and Mrs.

To Distribute
Licenses for
Sportsmen
The new hunting and fishing
licenses required for the state
fiscal year beginning September
1 should be in the hands of deal-
ers by August 14, it was an-
nounced by J. Weldon Watson,
executive director for the Parks
and Wildlife Department.
He said they will be ready
in ample time—2,350,000 licens-
es for hunting and fishing and
for assorted commercial fishing
uses. Approximately 2,800 of-
ficial deputies handle the licens-
es which are available generally
where sporting goods are avail-
able and at departmental offic-
es.
All persons 17 years and un-
der and 65 and over are exempt
from the regular hunting and
fishing licenses but they need
to get a regular exempt license
if they hunt deer or turkey.
Hunting licenses cost $3.15 and
fishing licenses cost $2.15.
The only new provision in the
licenses is that persons obtain-
ing exempt licenses for hunting
deer or turkey on their own land
where they actually reside must
present an affidavit along with
their application. “In other
words,” said Watson, “just the
mere verbal statement that they
will hunt on their own land of
residence is no longer adequate."
Watson said that for the fiscal
year ending August 31 the total
hunting and fishing licenses issu-
ed show an increase of about
25,000 over the preceding year.
Revenues from the combined
licenses approximate $3,000,000
annually. The money is used to
finance wildlife restoration,
law enforcement, administrative. 1
functions and other activities.
Fees for the forty-eight dif-e
ferent kinds of licenses sold
range from fifty centser ex-
empt doe licenses in - astlaid
County to $200 for both non-
resident trappers licenses and
wholesale fish dealers.
Watson cautioned sportsmen
that their old licenses are not
valid after August 31 “under any
circumstances”.

and Mrs. J. W. Caloway included
