Annual cattlemen's bar-b-que draws packed crowd Saturday night
IV
More than 350 persons
jammed into I ho American
Legion Hall in Bastrop
Saturday night for the
fourth annual invitational
dinner of Bastrop County's
Independent Cattlemen's
Association chapter.
It was the largest event
yet held by the Bastrop
organization, which in turn,
is the largest organization in
theeou nt.v.
ICA men cooked the
bar h-que beef and beans and
women brought potato
salad and cookies.
(iuests included Donald
Hoffman, executive secre
larv of the statewide ICA
ami Charles Carter, state
legislat ive director.
Carter told the group:
"We're expecting our meat
import bill to pass the House
of Representatives no later
than next Monday. We've
been working on it for four
years. President Carter has
assured us he will sign it this
time....It will be very, very
good for cattlemen in
Texas..."
Carter also reported,
"We're trying to come up
with a more workable
brucellosis control pro
gram." The ICA legislative
staff director said Texas
cattlemen "still think the
brucellosis program costs
more than the disease." But
knowing there will be some
form of federal inspection
and control, "We think we're
going to have as close a
workable program as pos
sible," farter said. The ICA
has held in the past that the
current federally controlled
brucellosis program is un
realistic to the needs of
Texas cattlemen and h;is
failed to develop a better
vaccine and effective
methods of testing.

Campaign plans for Ron-
ald Reagan will be outlined
at a meeting of the Bastrop
County Republican Com-
mittee Tuesday. Nov. 27.
The public is cordially
invited to attend, said Nan
Olsen, County Republican
Chairman. The meeting will
be at 7:30 p.m. at First
National Bank in Bastrop.
Greg Gugenheimer, Aus-
tin area coordinator for
Reagan, will detail campaign
plans.
The Bastrop GOP Com
mittee plans to hear repre-
sentatives of John Connally,
George Bush and other
contenders for the Repbuli-
can Presidential nomination
later, said Mrs. Olsen. The
object is to get "as much
information out as possible"
and to allow Bastrop County
residents the chance to
meet the campaign organi-
zers for the various candi-
dates so that they can take
part in the campaigns if they
desire.
Meanwhile, precinct chair
men for seven of the county's
precincts have been elected
or appointed and the county
committee is seeking chair-
men for the 10 other
precincts to assure a
county wide Republican
presidential primary next
spring.
"Chances are, w ith Rea-
gan, Connally, Bush and
other, we'll have an exciting
Texas Republican primary
next May," said Mrs. Olsen.
"We want to give all voters
in the county a chance to
participate at locations as
convenient as possible.
That's why we plan to have a
chairman in each precinct so
there can be an election in
each precinct."

RED WING BOOT No. 1155
Reg. $63.95 NOW $49.95
A group of Central Texas
farmers have worked out an
agreement to enter into a
feasibility study for the
design, construction and
operation of a plant to
produce alcohol from milo for
use in gasohol.
Kenneth Johnson, a farm
er near Hutto and chairman
of the Board for Central
Texas GPI Cooperative, Inc.,
made the announcement
following signing of a
contract with GPI, inc., a
marketing and management
consulting firm.
The plant would process
4,200 carloads of grain
sorghum into 20 million
gallons of alcohol and
sizeable amounts of high
quality food protein. The
cost of the plant will be
approximately $30 million
and would take 18 months to
construct, following ground-
breaking. The feasibility
study will take approximate-
ly three months, and if
favorable, an additional two
or three months would be
needed for site selections
and engineering. Officials
are hopeful the plant can be
in the Hutto area.
25 PLANNED
The Central Texas plant
is one of 25 planned facilities
- all farmer-owned coopera
lives - to be built in the
grain producing states of the
nation. Discussions are
already proceeding in other
areas of Texas and the upper
midwest. The Central Texas
agreement was the first
signed to proceed with the
feasibility study
"If everything goes a»
cording to <>ur plan,'
Johrikon Mid, "we would l«

completed, farmer owned
cooperatives would be pro-
ducing 500 million gallons of
alcohol annually and would
materially reduce our de-
pendence on Arab oil
imports and improve our
balance of trade deficits,"
Ron Wood, Texas Coordina-
tor for GPI, Inc., said.
The gasohol concept is not
new one, but has become
more economically feasilble
with recent increases in the
cost of oil imports and
resulting increases in cost of
gasoline. In the past two
years, refining systems for
this alternative source of
fuel have been developed,
processing the grain into
alcohol with a yield of fuel
far in excess of the fuel
consumed in the process.
Corrections
In the Nov. 8 edition, the
name of Mrs. Margaret
Newby of Elgin was omitted
as the maternal grand-
mother in the obituary of
Diona Goodwin, 19. Dorothy
Crawford of Sinton should
have been listed as the
paternal grandmother.

An earlier article on the
death :>f Walter Moncure
contained two errors.
Moncure attended The Uni
versity of Texas and East
Texas State University, not
Texas A&M. The name of
his mother, Bertha Simmons
Moncure, was also omitted
as a survivor.
