Office of Defense and Disast-
er Relief.
There are some 13,000 licens-
ed amateur radio operators in
Texas providing emergen-
cy communications for civil de-
fense and disaster relief, the
military services, and many non
emergency civic events Wylie
has several licensed operators.
In the official memorandum,
the Governor noted, "Thou-
sands of Texas amatuer radio
operators are participating in
regular civil defense communi-
cations training exercises on a
continuing basis, providing
technical skill and an operation-
al equipment pool for the
State's disaster preparedness
program."
Through the Radio Amateur
Civil Emergency Services
(RACES), sponsored by the Of-
fice of Defense and Disaster Re-
lief at the Texas Department
of Public Safety and local gov-
ernments in the State, impor-
tant roles have been played be-
fore. during, and after the maj-
or disasters that have occurred,
not only in Texas, but in other
states as well.
These include the A 1 a s k a n
earthquake recovery, the Hale
Center tornado, the Sanderson
flood, and Hurrican Betsy
operations. "RACES members
contribuged materially to the
fast recovery from these dis-
asters and many lesser emer-
gencies," the Governor pointed
out.
The Federal Communications
Commission has designated this
"hobby - type" radio service
as "amateur radio" and rec-
ognizes its system as an inte-
gral part of nation - wide com-
munication media.

Read Acts 4:31-37
When they had prayed, the
place was shaken where they
were assembled together; and
they were all filled with the
Holy Ghost, and they spake
the word of God with boldness.
(Acts 4:31)
Picture in your mind a
great new rocket poised on its
launching pad. It is complete
in every detail and primed with
the most powerful fuel known
to man. Yet it still lacks the
one thing necessary for flight
— the igniting of its fuel.
How like the disciples at
Pentecost! Though they had
been minutely trained by Christ
Himself for the tasks ahead,
they still lacked the spark
that would launch them into
tireless, fearless action.
This spark was supplied when
the Holy Spirit baptized them
with the very power of God.
He inspired and sustained them
as they went forth to face hard-
ships, ridicule, torture, even
death. Only by the power of
the Holy Spirit could they dare
engage in a conquest of the
pagan world that would, in ef-
fect, turn it upside down as portunity Plan (TOP). It goes in

PRAYER: Father, we thank
Thee for the power of Pente-

has been spread abroad,
Grant us this power that we
may do our share to pass
on to others the good news
of They great salvation;

Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

from earthly pain and sorrow
and has gone to claim that

pathy in their sorrow.
Whereas:
There is a house not made
with hands
Beyond the golden door
Awaits the sister who's now
away
Not lost—just gone before.
AH in that home not made
with hands
The Master will prepare a
place for us
And when he calls
We will meet our loved ones
there.
Our sister is not dead, just
promoted—
To God's great chapter above,
And blessed by smiles from
the Master
She waits for those whom she
loves.
Resolved: That a copy of
those resolutions be sent to the
family, a copy spread on the
minutes of the Wylie Chapter,
and a copy be sent to the news-
paper.
Respectfully submitted,

More Than A
Room Cooler
COLLEGE STATION, May 26
— A room air conditioner is
much more than a "room cool-
er."
If it is correctly chosen and
functions properly, W. S. Al-
len, Extension agricultural en-
gineer at Texas A&M Univer-
sity, says it does four things:
cools, dehumidifies, cleans and
circulates conditioned air in
providing more comfortable
surroundings.
In maximum cooling units, a
fan draws in the warm, moist
air through a filter which re-
moves dust and lint before it
reaches the evaporator. The
cold surfaces of the evapora-
tor cools the air and removes
the moisture by condensation,
explains Allen. A thermostat
maintains the desired temper-
ature, and grills are used to
direct the conditioned air so it
will circulate efficiently with-
out causing drafts. Such units,
be adds, can also be set to
ventilate and exhaust air from
the room.
Cooling capacity of a room
air conditioner, says the engi-
ordinutinK Board of Texas Col-
Irycs and Universities, which will
administer the hitA pri j.'ram, ex-
pects to lend between $5 million
and $10 million the first year.
Provisions of TOP include the \
following:
• Loans of a maximum of
S1,000 per year lor underuradu-
ate students with a maximum total |
amount of $5,000; for graduate |
students loans may he as much as j
$1,500 per year with a maximum 1
total amount of $7,500.
• Interest rate is set at (> per
rent. TOP officials expect the U.S.
Commissioner of Education to
soon put a new federal law* in
effect that would pay one half of
the interest rate of the loan, leav-
ing borrowers to pay only 3 pet j
cent.
incut begins four months after
| the student graduates or leaves
school, lie is given live years to
| repay what he borrowed and, un-
der certain circumstances, the
■ five-year period may be extended.
• The student's financial con-
dition, not his family's, will de-
j tcrminc eligibility for a loan. If
the student's personal financial
resources are less than his ex-
| pccted, reasonable college expen-
j ses he is likely to qualify lor a
loan.
Loans will he applied for at the
college the borrower attends.
The program will he financed
l>y revenue bonds the Coordinat-
ing Hoard will issue, probably in
Inly. It is expected that $20 mil-
lions worth of bonds w ill he sold
tlu-ii.
The Coordinating Board is the
state agency created to oversee
ill public institutions of higher
education. But a student at any
college, public or private, may
appl> lor a loan.
Insurance Coverage For
Wheat Crops Increased
By FCI Corp.
A 36 percent increase in cov-
erage will be offered on the
average to Texas wheat farm-
ers for 1967 under the Federal
Crop Insurance Corporation's
revised all - risk wheat insur-
ance program.
Texas State Director Ben A.
Jordan, Jr., said this week the
increased wheat coverages are
the result of a program ad-
justment by FCIC based on
normal production increases
during the past 10 years.
Farmers are now eligible to
apply for the insurance in Bay-
lor, Castro, Collin, Cooke, Den-
ton, Floyd, Foard, Gray, Gray-
son, Hale, Jones, Knox, Lips-
comb and Wilbarger counties.
During the 1965 crop year ap-
proximately 1,000 farmers in
these counties insured more
than 42,000 acres of wheat and
An oversized unit will cool a

er with a cooling capacity of
6,000 BTU's per hour, there-
fore, is capable of removing
6,000 BTU's of heat every hour.
It is important, says Allen,
to choose a room air condition-
er of proper cooling capacity.
If it is too large, it will not
provide proper comfort condi-
tions and if too small, it will

Room air conditioners are
available in a variety of sizes,
models and types to meet in-
dividual needs. Some of the
smaller units can be used on
a wiring circuit that is only
partially loaded but it is usual-
ly a good practice, says Allen
to provide a separate circuit
not do the job expected of it. for each room air conditioner.

THE CASE OF THE
LONELY WIDOW
FOR YEARS we hove been heoring about the "lonely
widow" who comes to the funeral home "in a be-
wildered state of mind and is at the mercy of anyone
who may wish to take advantage of her." It is, there-
fore, strange that we have yet to meet her. Or perhaps
not so strange when you consider that persons over-
whelmed by grief are not likely to go anywhere by
themselves and by the very nature of their circum-
stances leave all decision-making to others. A funeral
director is much more likely to be confronted by
several people rather than by a tingle person when ar-
rangements are being made. And, when a tingle per-
son is involved, he or the, we have found, utually it
removed enough from the tragedy to be quite practical
about orrangementi.

A new premium discount fea-
ture is being introduced this
year which will make the low-
cost, all-risk government insur-
ance even more attractive to
wheat farmers in the 14 coun-
ties where the program is
available.
Policyholders who do not ex-
perience a loss for one year
will be granted a five percent
premium discount for the sec-
ond year. Previously, Jordan
says, policyholders were not
granted premium discounts un-
til they had achieved a three-
year good experience rating.
The same discount feature al-
so will apply to other crops in-
sured in Texas by FCIC.
Jordan estimates during 1966
the Federal Crop Insurance
Corporation will provide more
than $25 million in farm dol-
lar protection to farmers in the
state with its wheat, cotton and
grain sorghum programs.

MACHINE AGE FABLE
Two flies were discussing a
deceased relative. Said one, "All
I heard was that he died in
an accident. What happened?"
"It seems someone swatted
him just as he lit on the add-
ing machine."
"That's the way it goes," the
other consoled. "I guess this
time his number was up."
The irate doctor phoned his
patient.
"The check you gave me,"
he declared testily, "came
back."
Then? was a momentary
pause.
"That's nothing," said the pa-
tient, "so did my arthritis."
