1 XHE HOWE ENTERPRISE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12. 1970 — VOL. VII — No. 17
*****************
Elsewhere on this page are the
statistics for the Howe Bulldogs
for the first eight games played
this season, and also some indl-
vidual statistics, those on which
we have kept record during the
seasorv in order to tell how mar
nay yards rushing, passing, etc..
the ’Dogs have made during
each game.
We didn’t keep record of all
the tackles made by the defense
nor the holes opened in the op-
ponents lines for the running
backs, nor the blocking while
Rick Hanning completed 52 of
87 passes and 10 TD’s during
the eight games, but it takes 11
players on the field to rack up
the record now enjoyed by the
Bulldogs. So, while reading the
statistics on a few of the players
keep in mind the assistance they
had from the rest of the team.
The team now leads the dis-
trict in the title race, and will
play S&S there Friday night,*
with the final scheduled game
of the season here against Col-
linsville next week.
Hats off to the coaches, team
and all others who have assisted
the team in reaching their pre-
sent record.
Two lashes with a wet noodle;
We’ve had a couple of phone
calls during the past week in re-
gard to a paragraph in our elec-
tion story last week, stating that
the 100 county tax increase vot-
ed on and turned down in the
November 3 election was for a
salary increase for members of
the Sheriff’s Department.
Guess we had drawn the con-
clusion from the recent meet-
ings and discussions on the sub-
ject of salary increases for the
sheriff's department. And, since
we were informed that the tax
hike was not for salary increases
for the department, wish we had
voted against it--since we don't
jnow of any other reason for the
increase.
According to some of the
mail we receive, a major com-
pany will soon be selling com-
puter systems that doctors can
use for quick diagnosis of kids'
ailments. The doctor can simp-
ly telephone the computer from
office or hospital, name all of
the symptoms by code number,
and in a flash the computer's
answer would be flashed back
naming the ailment. But, ac-
cording to the report, it won's
take temperatures, prescribe
medicine or reassure anxious
mothers.
Since thinking about the new
deal, why couldn't we cut out
the middle man and each fam-
ily subscribe to the computer
system.
And, after further thinking,
that wouldnfc work either--a
computer probably couldn't
qualify for a medical license.
Did you know?
It took 60 years and 11 presi-
dents before the federal govern:
ment learned to spend a billion
a year?
Now this feat is accomplishei
ed in two days.

Howe, Van Councils Continue
Study Of Waste Disposal Problem
Garbage disposal problem fac-
ing smaller Texas Cities was
aired by city council at regu-
lar Monthly meeting held last
Thursday night. Howe faces
the problem, along with other
communities, to comply with
State laws forbidding burning
of trash and garbage. Landfill
system is the avenue being in-
vestigated, individually and
in cooperation with Van Al-
styne, It was reported at the
meeting that Van Alstyne had
acquired a landfill sight about
five miles southeast of Howe,
and council agreed to try to
set up a meeting between the
two governing bodies in an ef-
fort to solve the situation. The
two councils have met on sever
al occasions to study the prob-
lem.
Also discussed was whether
or not the city should take on
the task of garbage pickup, or
contract the project to an indi-
vidual. Investment in equipiv
ment for pickup service would
amount to around $8, 000, it
was estimated. Additional la-
bor would also have to be hir-
ed if the city handles the pick-
up chores.
In other business, council re-
jected a request by the Grayson
County Health Department for
$120. 00 to help finance the
county program during the com'
ing year;
Heard a report on the sewer
output during recent months,
since the joint system with
Sherman had been put into use.
Meter located at Highway 902
has averaged a reading of 210, -
000 gallons per day in dry wea-
ther. Capacity allowed for
Howe under the contract is 250,
000 gallons per day. City Clerk
George Barnes showed members
graphs, however, that registerec
ed more than a 1, 000, 000 gal-
lons per day during rainy weath-
er;
Heard a report from Mayor
Wortham that the city books
were presently in the hands of
a CPA for annual audit.
Looks can be deceiving
A dollar bill looks the same
as it did ten years ago.

ening the door, Adams said,
