This appreciation of Dr.
J.W. Thomas, who is moving

Luting, Texas, was submit
led by a friend who worked
with him many long hours as
a nurse.
Dr. Thomas needs no
introduction to our town. If
not for him, there would be
no Smithville Hospital. He
designed and built the
hospital as well as Towers
Nursing Home.
He ran it beautifully for
many years. He provided
many jobs for our hometown
people, and gave us a nice
hospital to be proud of.
He was a very active
member of our community
for many years, caring about
our town and its youth; and
when many concerned
people here contacted him
about our need for a doctor,
he still cared and loved us
enough to come back to us.

IDDD spells convenience
Bastrop area telephone
customers are getting
IDDD.
That's not some new
disease. It stands for
International Direct Dis-
tance Dialing.
This new service, provid-
ed by Southwestern Bell,
will enable residents to dial
their own direct calls to
Mexico, Italy, Japan and 61
other foreign countries.
IDDD will be faster and
more convenient than pre-
vious operator-assisted calls,
according to Southwestern
Bell.
"The whole process in
allowing our local switching
office to provide this service
V^ntails some minor changes
in equipment," said Dennis
Richter, manager for South-
western Bell in Taylor.
"Economically, it W'H
relieve some of the load on
our operators."
He explained IDDD this
way:
First, to call a foreign
country, dial the internation
al access code number 011.
This alerts the system a call
to another country is being
placed.
Then dial the country
code, which can be a two or
three-digit number. For
example, Mexico's country
code is 52, while Ireland's is
353.
Follow that with the city
code, which ranges from one
to five digits, and complete
the call with the local
number.
When first dialing, don't
hesitate too long after
dialing "0," or the operator
will come on the line. Also,
be sure to wait at least 60
seconds for the call to be
completed. It will ring at the
ot her end. It's as easy as
that.
For international calls
that are person-to-person,
collect, credit card or
charged to another number,
follow the same procedure,
but use "01" for the
international access code. >

renewable fuel during "Gas-
ohol Know-How Conference
III" Nov. 15 at Waco's
Convention Center.
Co-sponsored by Baylor
University's Glasscock
Energy Research Center,
the conference is the third
such gathering of experts
assembled by the Texas
Farmers Union to school
producers on the technolog-
ies, legalities, equipment,
and financial assistance
available for the production
of alcohol fuels from farm
products.
Over five hundred farmers
turned out recently for a
similar conference put to-
gether by TFU and Texas
Tech University, thus prov-
ing according to a spokes-
man for the farm organiza-
tion, that "farmers are fed
up with OPEC price goug-
ing, monopolistic energy
companies and the ongoing
battle of New England
heating oil versus Midwest-
ern diesel and are ready for
theGasohol Revolution."
"The technology needed to
produce fuel grade ethanol is
fairly simple," stated Jon
Thomas who is the coordina-
tor of the Texas Farmers
Union's forefront efforts to
bring Texas producers the
necessary know-how to
convert crops and crop
residues to alcohol fuels.
"Now that productions of
alcohol fuels is legal in the
state, the Farmers Union is
mounting a campaign to
spread the message of
energy independence.
"The detractors continue
to raise questions of econom-
ics," Thomas continued.
"Well, compared to the
economics of oil and gas,
ethanol is already compet-
itive today; tomorrow it
could be considered the
cheapest, most economical
and certainly the most
dependable supply. Ameri-
can farmers have proven to
be the world's greatest
producers of food and fiber.
They now hold promise of
producing a large percent-
age of the nation's domestic
energy supply."
Advance registration for
the full day workshop is
strongly encouraged by
calling Texas Farmers Union
at (817)772 7220.
