I feel compelled to try to ex-
press on behalf of my husband,
Robert, and myself our delight
in the results of this exciting
football season. We are prouder
of the Wildcats than we can say.
We would like to have been
able to attend every game. How-
ever, the fact that we live in
Odessa made this impossible. At
the one game we were able to
attend, the Golthwaite game, we
were very happily impressed with
the good sportsmanship displayed
both on the field and in the
stands. Incidentally, there were
a good many former Archerites
who now live in Odessa and An-
drews at that game. Among these
were the Percy Morrisons and
the Kenneth Byrnes of Andrews
and the Ollie McLemores of
Odessa.
Robert and I feel that if any
football team ever deserved a
state championship and ever
earned a state championship, the
Archer City Wildcats did so this
year. We want to extend our
heartiest congratulations and best
wishes to each of the players, to
their fine coaches, and to all our
friends in Archer City.
Sincerely,
Malena Martin Gough.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Offi THARKS TO TM
At the end of another year, we want to thank all our
friends and customers for allowing us to serve them
during the past year.
Your confidence and patronage is highly valued. We
pledge our best efforts in serving you in the coming
year and hope to earn again the confidence you have
shown in us in the past.
So have our thanks and best wishes!

Texas Legislators will be back
in Austin on January 12 to grap-
ple with an array of problems
which could keep them here
throughout the summer.
Congressioual and legislative
redistricting, taxes and appro
riations top the agenda of con-
troversial subjects for the 59th
session.
Many lawmakers feel they bare-
ly will come to grips with the
redistricting issue before expira-
tion of the regular session in
May. Special sessions very- likely
will be necessary to settle this
explosive matter in line with the
one-man-one-vote theory laid down
by court decisions.
Proposed expenditures for high-
er education and teacher pay
raises look like top topics for de-
bate in the spending area.
Other legislation sure to stir
strong interest and hot tempers,
included horse race betting, oil
and gas lease pooling, water plan-
ning and development, mixed
drink sales and judicial pay raises.
No significant change in the
power structure of either house
of the Legislature is likely. House
Speaker Byron Tunnell is assured
of another term and Lt. Gov.
Preston Smith will begin his sec
ond terra as presiding officer of
the Senate.
There are only two new mem-
bers in the Senate and 42 in the
House.
Crime Rat* Up
Texas, crime rate jumped near-
ly 12 per cent in 1964, says the
department of Public Safety.
Rate increased from 2,26i of-
fenses per 100,000 population in
1962 to 2,675 this year. This fact
led a committee of Texas mayors
to call on Gov. John Connally for
advice as to action needed. Con-
r.ally promised to cooperate and
urged the 10 mayors to have their
city attorneys review proposed
revisions in the state code of
criminal procedure.
Mayor Hank Avery, Texas
Municipal League president, blam-
ed the increase on crowded court
dockets, loose hail bond proce-
dures, easy parole after short
imprisonment, weakening of par-
ental responsibility and separate
trials for co-defendants. Avery
is mayor of Midland.
Dallas Mayor Erik Jonsson and
San Antonio Walter McAllister
noted the high number of repeat
arrests. Jonsson suggested that
traffic violations by drivers with
suspended licenses be made pen-
itentiary offenses. He also pro-
posed legislation to make it hard-
er for persons charged with mul-
tiple crimes to be released on
bond.
Stat* Sales Tax
There is guarded talk in the
halls of the State Capitol, by law-
makers who would rather remain
anonymous for now, that the
two-per-cent sales tax will be ex-
tended to cover grocery pur-
chases when the 1965 Legislature
meets.
State sales tax law passed three
years ago brought in $204, 736,-
161 during the fiscal year which
ended August 31. This tax ac-
counted for 12 cents of every
State revenue dollar.
But expected demands on State
resources—to meet teachers’ pay
raises, improvement of higher
education facilities, and upgrad-
ing of other State services—is
expected to be the trigger for
making the sales tax applicable
to groceries, heretofore exempt.
Attorney G*n*r*l Rules
A person cannot be paid as a
Texas legislator and as a school
teacher at the same time, says
Atty. Gen. Waggoner Carr.
Opinion, requested by Speaker
Tunnell for Rep.-Elect Joe J.
Bernal of San Antonio, said that
school teachers elected to the
Legislature must forego a state-
paid teaching salary during their
entire legislative terms. Texas
legislators now get annual salar-
ies of $4,800.
In other opinions, Carr held:
County judges are authorized
to pass on whether informal let-
ters constitute petitions for re-
examination of state mental hos-
pital patients. Cherokee Co.
Atty. Paul B. Cox of Rusk asked
the opinion for County Judge J.
W- Chandler.
Waco officials must return a
West Virginia parole violator
through the usual extradition for-
malities, (Opinion requested by
McLennan Co. Atty. Don Hall.)
Legislature may authorize Tex-
as Water Development Board to
lend money for developing under-
ground water, but it may not au-
thorize the board to guarantee
bond issues for that purpose.
(Opinion requested by Rep. Bill
Clayton of Springlake.)
