From the second week of about businesses that Big

start the year with a bang, large or small, to Reagan
and their attitude is contagi- j county? It’s first done by
ous. It helps all of us who
can’t be active in those
groups, which is the aim and
purpose of all of them.
After all, when a civic pro-
ject is undertaken, it is only
initiated by one group. Its (
success is determined by the i

week end, social security
checks will be dated in ad-
vance and delivered to the
post office early when the 3rd
falls on a Sunday as it does
in September of this year, or
on a holiday.
“Most beneficiaries,” he
said, “will receive their social
security benefit payments for
the month of August by Sat-
urday, September 2, rather
than Tuesday, September 5,
as they would have under the
old procedure.”
Social security checks are
issued on the 3rd of the
month under an arrangement
te stagger the issuance of
monthly checks from various
Federal agencies, so that post
offices, the Treasury, and
banks will not be overburden-
ed at any one time of the
month.
Explaining the reason for
the change, Ball said, “Since
these monthly checks are the
only source of income for
many beneficiaries, even a
few days’ delay can be seri-
ous, and this new procedure
will eliminate any possible
delay.”
The new procedure will be
used for the second time in j
J December, when the 3rd'
| again falls on a Sunday.
Marching up the hill one l
week and down the hill the
next, the House recently
okeyed a rather radical civil
rights bill. After approving
a measure to make it a ser-
ious federal offense for a per-
son to go across a state line
with intent to incite a riot or
other violence, the second bill
which followed, would protect
the Carmichaels, Kings and
Browns by allowing them to
claim their trouble-making
v/as in support of “civil
rights” or some other federal
program.
The latest bill makes it a
serious federal crime for any-
one to interfere in any way
with the exercise of these so-
called “civil rights.” Thus,
police officers who arrest
those who engage in inflam-
j matory activities associated
with uprisings and riots, but
do so in the name of “civil
rights,” will be running a
risk. The officer might be
charged himself with inter-
ference with the exercise of
civil rights.
It is hard to believe the
Senate will ever approve this
legislation. If we are to have
law and order, police officers
must not be harrassed by the
rabble rousers who habitually
scream “police brutality.” It
is essential that they be un-
hampered in the use of pru-
dent judgment when making
arrests, without fear of re-
prisals.
Incidentally, the wide-
spread claim by Negro civil
rights leaders that they have
a right to take the law into
their own hands when their
alleged “rights” are not re-
spected, was the subject of a
comment in a letter I just
received from a San Antonio
constituent. A full - blood
Cherokee Indian, reared In
Oklahoma, had this to say:
“Just for openers, people
don’t know what oppression
is. My grandmother walked
from the Carolina to Okla-
homa in the ‘Trail of Tears.’
The American Indian today
is the most oppressed, and
depressed, peoples in this
country ....Yet, they do not
revolt or burn or rape or kill.
THEY are proud people!”
came to a peak on the A-line
skirt and outlined the chapel
length train. A cathedral
length veil was gathered to
a hand finished coif center-
ed with a stand-away orchid
of the re-embroidered lace
and she carried a nosegay
bouquet of white orchids
surrounded by stephanotis
and white gladiola buds. The
Rev. George Dixon, minister
of the church, performed the
ceremony. Mrs. J. D. Lock of
San Angelo was soloist, ac-
companied by Mrs. Herman
McLaughlin of San Angelo,
organist.
Miss Betty Poage was maid
of honor and the Misses Pau-
lette Rainey of Paris and
Janie Holt were bridesmaids.
Miss Jill Buse of San Antonio,
a cousin of the bridegroom,
was flower girl. All wore
royal blue chiffon formal
gowns of empire design and
carried a cascade of white
majestic daises.
Jim Roark of San Antonio
was best man. Robert David
Young of Houston and Con-
rad Netting of San Antonio
were groomsmen. Ushers were
Jack Wright, brother of the
bride, Bob Daugherty, Art
Slaughter, Jay Hollenburger,
Joel Swanson and Frank
Incrapera, the latter four of
Houston.
Valerie Molhusen and Van-
ce Molhusen, a sister and
brother of the bride, acted as
candlelighter and ringbearer.
The reception was held in
the garden of the bride’s
parents. Members of the
houseparty were Mrs. Betty
Buse of San Antonio, cousin
of the bride, and her daugh-
ter Ronda, Miss Janice
Coates, Miss Betty Young of
Odessa, Miss Patti Holt, Miss
Sherry Barnes, Miss Pam
Daugherty, Mrs. Mike Werst
and Miss Valerie Molhusen.
Music wa:> played by Ricci-
Mac combo of San Angelo.
The bride has completed
two years at the University of
Texas and plans to attend
the University of Houston. At
UT she was a member of
Spooks and was a Bluebonnet
Belle finalist of Acacia Order
of Delphi.
A graduate of UT, the
bridegroom received his de-
gree in chemical engineering.
He served his fraternity, Aca-
cia, as vice president and
pledge trainer. He is employ-
ed as a chemical engineer for
Fetro-Tex Chemical Corp in
Houston, where the couple
will live following a wedding
trip to Mexico City and Aca-
pulco.
