ROCK PILED beside Belt Line Road has been the cause of complaint by
residents as the work on the road has been discontinued until February.
Road Work
Set For Feb.
A number of resi
dents on Bell Line Road
west of Cedar Hill have
called the Citizen re-
cently asking why the
work on Belt Line Road
has been stopped even
though the road is tar
from being completed.
The Citizen Editor
spoke to Mike Patti of
Dallas County District
4 Monday and was told
that the road work has
been delayed by the re-
cent rains but would be
started again between
the first and the fif-
teenth of February.
Patti said that the
next stop on repairing
the road was having the
s urfac e c ove red w ith
lime and this can not be
.done when the weather
is rainy or cold.
v "If the people out
there will just bear with
us,.we'll have a road as
good as a race track out
there by June the first,”
Patti said.

for matrons.” At what
prison?
“If you can still see
and tie your shoes, you
are not too fat.”
•‘What a surprize! When
is it due?”
‘'Aw go ahead and eat
all you want. After you
get so big, what differ-
ence does it make?

to mind is shedding the
30 to 40 pounds that, we
carry around all the time
that we sure don’t need.
When we think about
our extra weight, we
realize the only reason
that we are fat is that
we have too many nice
friends that try to keep
us from feeling bad a-
bout being the size of
an elephant.
Some of the well
meaning things that are
said to an overweight
person are:
“But I like you fat, you
look so——so healthy.”
“The size you are now
reminds me of my
Granny.” This comes
from someone about the
same age as I am.
“Gaining weight is no
real problem. You can
buy your clothes from
that special shop that'
specializes in clothes
anything else the rest of
the day.”
“Surely with all your
weight, you can change
a tire with no problem.”
1 'How much
weigh now?”
“Your work must agree
with you, you get bigger
all the time.”
“Well, one good thing
about your size, your
girls can’t wear your
clothes,
Now, that I’m real
full from Christmas and
all that food, I think
losing weight will be no
problem,
But now that I think
of it, I might better wait
until after my birthday
Sunday and after the
girls birthdays in Feb-
ruary and St. Pat’s Day
in March and Easter in
April and more birthdays
in May and June and
picnics in July and back
to school parties in
September and Hallo-
ween in October and
Thanksgiving in Novem-
ber and that brings us
right back to this time
next year.
Well, someone get
me a cookie and a coke,
there just doesn’t seem
to be a good time to get
started on a diet. Some-
thing always seems to
get in the way.

We apologize to Rev.
Carroll Teeter for leav-
ing off his name on the
Words of Inspiration last
week and the address
off the Assembly of God

ten than not we make at
least two errors in an
issue but it’s seldom
that both goofs concern
the same person.

David J. Redd, 26. the
son of Mr. and Mrs. W.
J. Redd. South Loop in
Cedar Hill is working as
'Yi?1: ; 4 computer systems pro-
grammer for Computer
Technology in Grand
Prairie
Redd was the saluta
torian of Cedar Hill's
1963 graduating class.
He majored in mathmat-
ics at the University of
Texas at Arlington and
graduated with honors in
1967, He received a
Bachelor of Science De-
gree.
Since graduating from
FT A he has been work-
ing for Computer Tech-
nology which is soon to
be merged with UCC
Redd said when he
first started with C T
he worked as a scienti-
fic programmer and later
became a systems pro-
grammer.
Redd said the systems
program controls the act-
ivity within the comput-
er itself. He said it is
er itself, He said the
system program is simi-
lar in its function to a
shop foreman who organ-
izes the various process-
es of a complicated
manufacturing operation.
,The systems program
organizes perhaps sever-
al different jobs that the
computer may be handl-
ing at the same time. It
enables the computer to
work on the different
programs concurrently
w ithxout duplication of
effort 'confusion and
error in print outs.
When asked if there
is any limit t o w h a t j. \ pm p_
uters might be able to do
Redd said It is a mis-
conception to believe
that a computer can do
everything' if people
are only give n . t he time
to develop ' it. “ He said
computers, are invai
uahle aids in this age of
electronics , but they can
only do w hfi t a human
te 11s them to'do."
Redd said the big
thing in the computer
field is on site terminals
which allow computer
company customers to
use their own personnel
to do their work without
sending the work into the
compute r company to be
done.With the use of on
site terminals the term
inal can be in one city
and the computer in
another. Telephone cab
les provide the link
between the terminal and
the computer.
Redd said when peo
pie learn of his work
they often assume that
he uses math extensive
ly. Logic is what, is
really important” he
said. According to him
math is only a part of
computer programming.
While attending UTA
Redd traveled to Louis-
ianna State University
