A YEAR’S LABOR OF LOVE is evident in these handmade banners that have been
hanging in the Tulia Presbyterian sanctuary for the past month. The banners were
made by Joy Braly and her daughter Betty Crager of Lubbock. The 12 banners
illustrate different aspects of the Christmas worship season. Mrs. Braly has been a
member of the church since 1938, she has five children and one grandchild. Betty
works at Texas Tech school of nursing. (Staff Photos)

Pay Raise
Continuing his long
standing opposition to con-
gressional pay and benefit
increases. Kep Jack High
tower this week voted
against a proposed 2’% pay
raise and to deny any raise
at all from current levels.
Earlier ihis month on Dec-
ember nth. Hightower urged
his House colleagues in a
floor speech to totally reject
any pas increase saying
such a raise would be
"complctelv unconscion-
able "
On December 14th. the
House voted on two sequen
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1982
tial amendments relating to
a pay raise. Hightower had
called for record votes on all
such measures, and warned
that without direct con-
gressional action this
month. Congress could re-
ceive a possible 27% raise
because of technical
changes in the law.
The first vote came on an
amendment by Rep. Vic
Frazio (D-Cal.) to deny the
full 27.2% raise and cut it
by almost half back to no
more than 15%. Hightower
voted for the amendment
and to deny the full 27%
raise. On this vote, mem-
bers opposed to the pay
raise completely did not
have an opportunity to vote
‘no’ on a 15% raise. As
presented, the amendment
passed 303-109.
The second vote was
taken on an amendment by
Kep Bob Traxler (D-Mich I
to deny a raise completely
and restore the cap at cur-
rent levels. Hightower voted
for this amendment, also.
The motion failed, however,
on a tic vote of 208-208.
Accordingly. House and Se-
nate pav levels may rise
approximately 54.!00 from
$t*0.662.50 to 564.H<K> if the
Senate approves the same
legislation and it is signed
by the President The Ad-
ministration has not indi
cated any oppositon to the
proposed congressional pav
raise as was the case in
1461
In a third and final vote
on the overall Continuing
Resolution containing the
pav raise and other prove
sums. Hightower voted no

I HI PRESIDENT could create a lot
of jobs and put a lot of money in
circulation if he could just get the
tarmer back to making a living. Far-
mers like to make money and most of
them like to spend it. . . so get the
farmer back on the profit road and
lie'll circulate the money in town. That
money will go on to the factories and a
lot of out-of-work people would have a
job.
Farmers Union President George
Stone said recently, "the three year
decline in farm prices has wiped out
more than 540 billion in farm income
and purchasing power.
WELL FRIENDS, the big dav is

Just to give you a scare. . . only two
more shopping davs.
Very few people reallv get ( hrist-

this season will be no different. we
expect a lot of last minute shoppers
We suggest vou lake advantage of
the convenience ot shopping in Tulia
lor those last minute gift items. . .
save the gas money. . save the wear
and tear on your nerves getting in the
big city shopping crowds!
W| LIKE NICE SURPRISES and
when a big box was delivered last
week to the "food editor" we quickly-
declared that we had transferred to
that department.
The box contained 12 beautiful
grapefruit from the Texas Sweet Com-
pany in McAllen
Actually, our entire staff got to
share in the "Texas Sv> eet” news
release.
IT APPEARS THAT direct govern
ment payments to farmers will total
between 54.0 billion and 54.5 billion
this year. That’s a bundle. It’s not
only more than double the 51.93
billion paid out to farmers last year,
but record high—topping the previous
high of 53.46 billion paid out in 1972.
But. what'll that work out per farm?
Not as much as you'd think Last year,
for example, payments ranged from
S67 to 511.’36 per farm and averaged
S’43 per farm nationally. I hat total,
while above the 5530 average of I960,
is well below the record 51,365 aver-
age of I4’2.
In 1461. that 56’ payment average
went to the nation's smallest farms
those with sales ot farm products ot
under 52.500 Those with sales ot from
52.500 to 54.444 received an average
ot 5101 per farm. Farms with sales ot
from 55.IKK) to 54,444 received average
pavments of 5365 per farm.
Farms in the 5K).(KK) to 514.444
sales category received an average of
55’6 last year. Those with sales of
from 520.(KK) to 530.440 received an
average ot 5654. those in the 540.(KK)
to 544.444 category received an aver
age of 51.166 farm
Farms with sales ot from 51(K).(KK)
to 5144.444 received average direct
payments of 51.766 per farm Those in
the 5204.(KK) to 5444.444 category
received an average of 52,664. And
the nation's largest farms — those
with sales above 5500.000 in farm
products — received an average of
511.736.
While there were payments to tar
mers in all 50 states, those in 6 states
received nearly 53 percent of the total
last year. These states: Texas (5321.4
million). Kansas (231.6 million). North
Dakota (5130.’ million). Oklahoma
(5124.5 million). Montana (5105.6 mil-
lion) and Nebraska (5101.0 million).
1HANKS TO the "nice young fel-
ler" with the cane who brought The
Herald crew the cake and cookies.
WE WANT TO MAKE a I98.i
forecast. . . if a nuke waste repository
is put in Texas, it will be in Deaf
Smith County. We say this because we
think drill tests will show that there is
only about 75 feet ot salt beds below
Sw isher County
Deaf Smith salt beds are deeper.
DOE has said thev need at least 150 to
2(X) feet of salt bed tor the repository
We have said all the time that the
geology would determine where the
salt bed repository would go. and we
continue to think this is correct.

Tulia Policemen Agree
To Severance Pay
BORDERS NMPPIRR
CREAM
The Tulia City Council
announced at its Tuesday-
night meeting that City At-
torney Burrell Evans Tues-
day afternoon reached an
agreement with Amarillo
Attorney Selden Hale to pay
fired Tulia police chief Wel-
don Smith and police It.
Lupe Chavez four month's
severance monev.
The total amount to both
men is $12,560 for a total of
five months, counting the
time since city manager Jim
Madcwell fired them.
Although Madewcll still
gave no reason for the firing
except "for the betterment
of the police force and for
lack of ctHiperation” the
settlement means city of-
ficials will give no explicit
details of why the men were
fired.
Mayor T. A. Hayhurst
said, "we just felt it was
not for the good of the city
nor the policemen involved
to drag the whole situation
through a court suit."
A letter to the council a
week ago from Hale indi-
cated he was representing
Smith and Chavez and there
might be a civil action suit
for illegal firing.
Mayor Hayhurst said if
the city could have won the
suit, it would have still had
to pay several thousand dol-
lars in court costs.
"Did the policemen de-
serve to be fired?" was a
question one citizen asked
at the Tuesday night meet-
ing. One councilman replied
that there could be no more
discussion about the details
of why they were fired,
because the settlement had
been made and the situation
was closed.
The council maintained
the policemen were told
why they were fired, even if
the policemen maintain they
were not told why. . . and
they were given the same
reasons that have been pub-
lished in the new spaper and
on radio and television.
OTHER BUSINESS
In other business the
council accepted the bid of
John Kimbrough of Tulia to
dig a land fill hole 700 x 50
feet and 20 feet deep for a
bid price of $12,704. There
were two bidders on the
project. Swisher county will
pay half the cost with the
city.
