Now’s a real good time to
“practice up” on the 55 mph
which is effective the 20th, as a
curb-helper in the energy
crunch. We’re told that no
penalty is to be applied until the
warning signs are up - but it
won’t be long. A good attitude of
co-operation would be to go
ahead and comply now. That
would be a sure sign of team-
work.

A course designed to help
businessmen through the maze
of regulations of the Williams -
Steiger Occupational Safety and
Health Act of 1970 (OSHAct)
will be taught from 9:00 a.m. to
4:00 p.m., January 30th at the
Texas Power & Light Assembly
Room in Ennis.
The one-day seminar,
Orientation of OSHAct, was
developed by the Occupational
Safety and Health Ad-
ministration. It will be con-
ducted here free of charge by
the Texas Safety Association in
cooperation with the Ennis
Chamber of Commerce. At-
tendants will include em-
ployers, employees and their
representatives.
“Virtually all businesses,
even those with one or more
employees, must comply with
regulations of the OSHAct,
said Jack McKay, Manager of
the Chamber of Commerce.
“Many operators of small and
medium size businesses may be
in serious violation of the law
without even realizing that such
laws exist,” continued Mr.
McKay. “The U.S. Department
of Labor reports that only 31
percent of 31,279 establishments
checked during the 12 months
ending June, 1973, were found to
be in compliance with job safety
and health standards.”
Orientation to OSHAct, along
with three other seminars, is
being taught by TSA under
contract with the National
Safety Council to provide in-
formation needed by every
businessman. Topics covered in
this first course will include,

LOGGING ROADS
OPENED TO PUBLIC
VANCOUVER, B.C. (AP) -
Thousands of Canadian nature
lovers will no longer have to
wait for the weekend or a holi-
day to hunt, fish, ski and col-
lect rocks in certain areas of
the wild British Columbian rain
forest.
As a result of one company’s
efforts, inactive logging roads
that were closed to public use
have been opened 24 hours a
day, seven days a week, to
make recreational travel easier
amid forest lands, lakes,
streams and mountains.
The public access program,
undertaken by MacMillan Bloe-
del, Canada’s largest forest
products company, includes de-
velopment of land-use facilities
such as “pocket wilderness”
areas, nature trails, camp sites
and boat launching ramps.
WASHINGTON — The White
House says President Nixon did
not erase an 18-minute portion
of a Watergate tape.
Deputy news secretary
Gerald Warren was asked
today by a reporter: Did the
President erase the tape?
Warren replied: “The answer
to your question is no.”
Federal Judge John Sirica
says he intends to decide
whether to recommend that the
case of the obliterated
Watergate tape be presented to
a grand jury. Sirica made the
announcement in open court
today shortly after a secret
service agent contradicted
some of the testimony President
Nixon’s secretary, Rose Mary
Woods, gave in November. She
testified at a hearing called to
determine what caused an 18-
minute gap in a subpoenaed
Watergate tape.
