At Buescher State Park
Research center
nears completion
A second Bastrop County
construction site nears com-
pletion as the University of
Texas System Cancer Cen-
ters readies for the opening
of their Research Division at
Buescher State Park, near
Smithville.
Park Superintendent
Howard Tiner escorted the
ADVERTISER on a Thurs
day tour of the new research
complex, along with Paul
Jergins, who is superinten
dent for the general contrac-
tor, Robert C. Gray Co of
Austin.
Jergins pointed out that
the new facility consists of 3
main structures and a
residence, located on a 713
acre patch of the Texas
piney woods owned by the
University of Texas.
There are 2 laboratory
buildings, each constructed
with three sections, the Lab
One building is 325 feet in
length and contains a
conference room, an incuba-
tion lab, a photo-lab which
will house the latest in
microscopy, an electron-
microscope from Germany, a
refrigerated holding room,
numerous labs and dark-
rooms, as well as an animal
holding area, inside the
building.
The second laboratory
building is the Jesse Jones
Research Laboratory build-
ing. The Jones Research
Lab building consists of a
number of laboratories, and
the building is constructed
similarly to Lab One, in
three sections.
"The final building," Jer-
gins explained, "is a confer-
ence center." It will house
administrative offices and
other accomodative facilit-
ies.
Jergins explained that the
first soil turned on the
project was in January 1976.
He stated that completion
had been tentatively set for
September 11, "but due to
poor weather conditions
we'll probably wrap her up
around September 29,"
Jergins said.
"The research center has
an added feature," the
construction superintendent
said, "it has its own sewer
and waste treatment facility,
and its own water well and
holding tank."
Jergins hesitated to ad-
vise the exact date when the

Letters to the Editor

LaGrange Journal writes
Congratulations
Dear Editor,
Congratulations on your
change in format to a twice -
weekly paper. Now I can
enjoy reading your paper
twice as much, if that's
possible. Yours is the first
paper I read when the stack
comes in on Thursday. It
gives me the most accurate
and interesting news of
Bastrop County, and I'm
very happy for you on your
new venture.
I particularly enjoyed
your article on Justice of the
Peace Bonorden. I was a
little astonished, of course,
that the TIMES didn't carry
the story this week Bonor-
den has been told would
appear. I'll be waiting in
breathless anticipation for
next week's TIMES to see
the story which I'm sure will
appear.
Again, congratulations on
going twice - weekly.
Sincerely,
Judy Sexton

F.BJ. Director claims
Police are not animals

The three sections of the Jesse Jones Research Laboratory are evidenced in
the architecture. Different functions will be performed in each lab section.

Dear Editor,
Many recent novels, films,
and television shows have
characterized police officers
as a breed apart, alienated
by their exposure to the
worst aspects of our society.
We have been portrayed as
callous and disaffected lon-
ers who can relate only to
other police officers.
I deplore such portray-
als. ,
First, these characteriza-
tions hinder our ability to
work with our fellow citizens
on the problems of crime. As
we learn, more and more
that crime is not soley a
police problem but one that
will respond best to joint
attack, to community resis-
tance as a whole, we must
counter the image of police
as other than full members
of their communities.
Second, in spite of the
nature of the police profes-
sion and its constant
exposure of man's inhumani-
ty to his fellow man, the
overwhelming majority of
police officers are not cynics.
They are full, participating
members of their com-
munities. They have fami-
lies, homes, a stake in the
community. They are in-
volved in civic works as
individuals and as members
of groups.
A glance at any police
fraternal magazine impres-
ses the reader with the
involvement of police offi-
cer - a trooper in Missouri
serving as president of the
local Lions Club and Shrin-
ers, and Ohio officer
officiating as chairman of an
American Heart Association
chapter, members of the
largest police department in
the world hosting Christmas
parties for neighborhood
children. Involvement woth
scouting, police athletic
leagues, camps for under-
priviledged youngsters - the
list of police serving their
communities is unending.
There are aspects of police
service unique to our
profession that can engender
feelings of separation from
the rest of the community,
however. Police are those
designated by society to
enforce its rules of conduct.
Today, many of those rules
affect all citizens, not just
the hardcore criminal ele-
ment. This fosters an
adversary relationship,
which is reinforced by the
adversary nature of our legal
system. In addition, the
constant threat of physical
attack is another fact that
sets police apart. That the
threat is all too real is
attested to by the long, too
long, roll of honor of officers
killed in the line of duty.
But disaffected loners?
Hardly! We are painted as
such with too broad a brush.
I submit that our profession
recognizes the potential for
disaffection and that the
ideals of service we have
can, and do, override the
pressures that would lead to
alienation.

Drug bust, Bastrop County style

Alleged pot dealers are cuffed before being
charged by a local justice of the peace.
near 50 cases which they will
be pondering September 12,
the Wednesday, August 24
charges against 3 Texas
men. The trio, 2 from Austin
and the third from a Midland
address are charged with
felony possession of the
controlled substance, mari-
juana.
The oldest in the group to
be charged is 34-year-old
Fred Douglas Barnhill. Also
being charged in the evening
drug bust are Douglas
Luckett, 18, of Midland, and
17-year-old Cole Bryan Burk-
halter. The men were taken
before Justice of the Peace
Howard Gould. Gould told
the ADVERTISER, "I read
them their rights and set
their bonds." The bonds
were set at $10,000 a piece,
as each man was charged
with the possession of the
four ounces discovered in a
paper sack in the back seat
of the car, according to
sources close to the case.
The new District Attorney
for the county told the
ADVERTISER that "it is
general practice for all
parties to be charged with
the possessi jn of the
controlled su jstance, es-
pecially when the controlled
substance is in the passenger
space of the vehicle,"
Pfeiffer pointed out.
Bastrop County Sheriff I.
R. Hoskins explained that
the Sheriffs Office had
received a telephone call
that someone had been
selling pot at Donna's
Lounge on Chestnut Street.

New name,
same job
The State Department of
Public Welfare became the
Texas Department of Human
Resources Monday, August
29th.
Although the 65th Legisla-
ture changed the name,.DHR
has essentially the same
job as the old welfare de-
partment. The change was
made to more accurately
reflect the nature of the
Department's work.
The agency is still pri-
marily concerned with help-
ing poor people, especially
children, mothers, the aged,
blind and disabled. But the
emphasis has gradually
evolved away from "relief"
type of assistance towards
the development of human
potential: free medical
check-ups for children,
job training and placement,
parent education, family
planning, licensing of child-
caring institutions, com-
munity care for the aged
and disabled, and medical
care for the indigent.
Aid to Families with
Dependent Children is the
Department's only cash
grant program. The Federal
Government pays about 73%
of the grant and the state
pays the remainder.
The Department traces
its roots to the Great Depres-
sion of the I930's. Prior to
th^t era, almost all public
assistance must be funded
