Build good
family
relations
COLLEGE STATION -
Open, honest communication is
one tool for improving family
relationships, Mrs. Ilene Miller,
a family life education specialist
says.
"But learning to communi-
cate effectively with loved ones
isn't always easy. Differences
m values and feelings cause
conflict and misunderstanding,"
she added.
Mrs. Miller is with the Texas
Agricultural Extension Ser-
vice. The Texas A&M Univer
sity System.
"First, remember that both
words and actions communi-
cate. Facial expressions, tone of j
voice, posture, breathing tempo
and many other actions
communicate a person's feel-
ings and attitudes.
"Actions should speak the
same as words - not louder -
for best communication. It's
hard to understand when a
speaker says one thing but his
actions don't back up his words.
For example, it's especially
confusing to a young child when
his parents tell him 'we don't
hit anyone in anger' as they
spank him hard for hitting
someone else," the specialist
said.
She said that sharing feelings
- even negative ones - is
another way to build good
communication within a family.
"Everyone feels angry,
frustrated, jealous or sad at
times, and it's encour ?ing to
live in a home where
expressing these feelings is
acceptable. Trusting and shar-
ing problems or concerns with
family is a signal that
communication is working
well." Mrs. Miller said.
But in order to share
feelings, mutual trust and
respect are necessary. Com-
munication is improved when
family members discard meth-
ods that lead to resentment and
self - doubt, she added.
"Name calling, constant
criticism, threats and accusa-
tions tend to break down
effective communication among
family members. Instead,
concentrate on positive feelings
and aspects of the situation.
Specifically, state your own
iders and feelings, rather than
verbally attacking the other
person.
"Listen - with understanding
to learn other family
members' views of the situation
before taking action or re-
sponding." the specialist ad-
vised.
American
Legion
Don't forget! This Thursday
night, January 8th, is Legion
meeting night. Also Auxiliary
meeting night. Surprise! There
is good old fashioned stew on
the menu. The stew is only 75
cents a bowl, so bring your
appetite and come along to your
meeting. Start the New Year
off right by being present and
resolve not to miss future
meetings. You'd be surprised if
you knew what you miss out on
when you are absent.
With the help of friends and
members of the Legion, the
New Years party was an event
to remember all year. There
was plenty of food, including
the traditional blackeyed peas
and cornbread and spirits ran
high for approximately 150
people.
Several members of the
Legion and Auxiliary had
guests in their homes or made
trips during the holidays.
Among the Christmas trav
elers were the Goings and
McMurrays. Ray and Evelyn
Going visited with friends, the
Gene Parrish family in Alta
Loma. Texas, and Mr. and Mrs.
Buddy Gilliam in - Galveston.
The McMurrays spent Christ
mas with Ida's folks, Mr. and
Mrs. Joe Wilson of Cleveland.
Texas.
By now, the flag pole should
be moved from in front of our
building. This was done to
prepare for paving the parking
lot.
Next Sunday should see
some different activity on the
hill. The Bicentennial wagon
train, which is traveling from
HoiJston to Pennsylvania,
should be ramped on our
grounds.
If you have any news
concerning the Legion or
members, please call me or give
your news items to Billy Joe at
the legion.
See you Thursday night at
the meeting

TAHC accepts proposals
in Brucellosis Program
Card of Thanks
We want to extend our
heartfelt thanks to all our
friends and neighbors for the
concern they showed and the
prayers they offered during
Jack's lung surgery. Thank
each of you. too, for the lovely
flowers and the many cards
Jack received while in the
hospital and after he came
home. May God bless each one
of you.
Sincerely,
Jack and Eulala

INGREDIENTS
Concentration and continuity
of effort are most necessary to
any successful endeavor.
Much hard work and many
long hours have been devoted
to the fight against proposed
USD A brucellosis regulations
bv ICA representatives, the
is Animal Health Commis-
sion and numerous Texas
cattlemen. But, the TAHC
decided late Wednesday, Dec.
31, to accept certain provisions
which would bring Texas in line
with the uniform methods and
rules of the USDA brucellosis
eradication program.
ICA representatives testified
before the TAHC in April,
October and November urging
the development of a research
program, and in December the
ICA offered further recom-
mendations to the TAHC,
USDA and Texas congressional
delegation which, had they
been adopted, would have
satisfied federal requirements
and provided needed time for
the development of an effective
program for Texas.
They were surprised that a
compromise could not be
reached and disappointed when
the Texas Animal Health
Commission was forced to
accept the following proposals:
1) to require "S" branding
on the left jaw of negative
exposed cattle destined for
quarantine feedlots and/or

slaughter-, and
2) brucellosis testing of
cattle moving into certified free
counties.
The motion, passed on a five
to three vote, also expressed
the desire of the Commission to
.nform the producer at the time
of the testing of his cattle of his
right to supplemental tests
before his cattle are finally
condemned to be branded
The TAHC decision was
neither a clear-cut victory or
defeat.
Although no official notice
has been received from USDA
yet, the TAHC hopes that their
actions Wednesday demonstra-
ted a sufficient show of intent
to accept federal regulations to
prevent further threat of a
quarantine of Texas cattle.
However, because of notice
requirements contained in the
state's administrative proce-
dures act, the amendment to
the rules cannot be formally
adopted until after a hearing
February 5th.
Therefore, the Commission
does have another opportunity
to officially adopt or reject the
federal proposals on February-
5th. and presumably until that
time Texas will continue to
operate under the same
program as during 1975.
In a second motion adopted
Wednesday, the Commission
stated that their actions were
taken "under duress, with the
conviction that the USDA is
badgering the Texas Animal
Health Commission into rub-
ber-stamping a plan of action
that is impractical for and
opposed by the majority of
Texas cattle-men."
The TAHC apparently was
able to win large concessions
from the USDA. Twenty-seven
of the changes proposed in
USDA recommendations in
April have been dropped,
indemnity payments will now
be made on proof of sale rather
than on proof of slaughter, and
"S" branding will occur only in
the market channel rather than
on all expos ' cattle as was
previously proposed.
The Commission repeated its
request for an intensive review
of the entire brucellosis
program by an unbiased group
of experts to determine the
actual effectiveness of the
eradication program.
Representatives of the US
DA have implied that the
research study approved by the
United States Animal Health
Association in Portland, Oreg-
on, in November is underway,
and ICA has hopes that this
impartial, scientific feasibility
study will shed some light on
the inadequacies and inequities
of the program.
TAHA Chairman Norman
Moser explained that after
reviewing the entire situation,
including two lawsuits pending
in state and federal district
courts, the Commission felt it
had to bite the bullet and adopt
such provisions as would
alleviate the continuing uncer-
tainty of the Texas livestock
industry.
Surely the battle has
accomplished a lot more than is
known at this time. Thousands
of people across the nation have
been awakened to the fact that
the brucellosis program itself
causes widespread economic
hardship without providing
substantial results.
