THE HOWE ENTERPRISE, THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1973
Rep. Sullmuit Lists Survey Results
In order to obtain the views
of the people in our District
on certain issues, I sent ques-
fionnaries to every 10th person
on the voter registration lists
in our District. We have receiv-
ed a response from approximate
ly 20% of those receiving the
questionnaires. The results in-
dicate that our District favors
by 89% to 11% the retention of
our "Right to Work" law. The
reinstatement of the death
penalty is favored by 91% of
those replying. An increase of
our State minimum wage is
favored by 73%. Only 35% of
those replying favor increasing
the maximum State imemploy
ment benefits.
72% of those replying favor
the garnishment of a person's
salary to collect delinquent
child support payments. This
bill died in committee, how-
ever, and will not come up
for a vote this Session. Con-
tinuance of our Sunday Closing
Laws was favored by 59% to 41%
Only 39% of thos4 replying
favored reducing first time pen-
alties for possession of marijuan:
Our district divided pretty
equally on the question of
granting adult status to 18 ye ars
olds. The survay showed 51%
for and 49% against. Competi-
tive auto insurance rates were
favored by 92% of those reply-
ing. Continuing the present
use of Daylight Savings Time
in the summer was favored by a
narrow majority of 51% to 49%
against.
A appreciate very much the
assistance of those who took
time out to answer this survey.
The results will be very helpful

“ Due to
circumstances
beyond our
control ”
Texas Power & Light
Company has a loncy solid
history of providing its
customers with reliable
electric power at the
lowest price consistent
with good service. The
Company wants electricity
to always be one of the
biggest bargains in your
budget.
However, there are
circumstances beyond our
control which indicate
future electric rate
increases are inevitable.
Higher Cost of Fuels The
diminishing supply of
natural gas and fuel oil has
pushed the prices of these
generating plant fuels to
new highs and is
significantly increasing the
cost of producing
electricity. TP&'.’s fuel bill
was over $40 million last
year, 30% higher than in
1971, and it’s expected to
be even higher in 1973.
Higher Cost of
Construction Because of
today’s energy crisis, new
generating plants must be
• • •
built to operate with other
fuels, such as lignite and
nuclear materials. These
plants are much more
costly to build than gas-
fueled ones, but to assure
you an ample supply of
electric power in the '
future, construction of new
facilities is essential —and
must be done even though
TP&L faces additional
rising costs for labor,
materials and land.
Higher Cost of Financing
The rising cost of money
needed to finance new
plants and other facilities
has been increasing at a
staggering rate.
All of these circumstances
are beyond our
control-and they make
producing your electricity
much costlier than ever
before. However, TP&L will
continue to use every
practical method and every
possible efficiency to keep
the price of electricity low
and still provide you with
dependable electric
service in the years ahead.

lop Band Essays
Two top high school and
grade school band essays writ-
ten by students on "Why I
Would Like to See A Band in
Howe" are reprinted below.
The four students were pre-
sented trophys for their efforts
I would like a band to come
to Howe, so that we can have
improved football spirit. We
could have good baseball
spirit too. All bands make
games better.
Bands are good. They make
people happy. Band costumes
add to the color and spirit of
a community.
Children think that bands
are fun. They are right too.
They learn to march and do
drills, for school events and
parades.
Tam willing to try to tell
everyone what a school band
would me an to me so that
people will know our school
needs this activity.

Howe needs some excite-

excitement might make Howe
bigger. And a band would
get some people our of their

Social Security
Widows who have been get-
ting survivors payments from
social security but who have
been severely disabled for the
last 2 years may be eligible
for Medicare starting July 1...
"but they must file a disabi -
l'ity claim, " according to
Gus Jones, social security dis-
trict manager in Sherman.
Medicare has been available
only to people 65 and over.
Starting in July, the Govern-
ment health care insurance
will be extended automati-
cally to all disabled people
under 65 if they've received
monthly social security disabi-
lity. payments for 2 years or
more.
But some severely disabled
widows 50 and over have
never applied for disability pa’
ments, Jones said. Generally
they've been getting social
security survivors benefits be-
cause they're 60 or over cc
they've been getting benefits
as widowed mothers who have
young or disabled children in
their care.
To get Medicare, these
widows must file a claim for
disability payments, Jones
said. As soon as possible, they
should call, write or visit
any social security office. If
a widow is unable to make the
contact, a friend or relative
may help. If necessary, arrang
ments can be made for a so-
cial security representative
to visit her.

activity. And it is fun to watc
a band go by. And a band
makes the town happy and the
people like to hear and see
a band. And the boys and girl;
will enjoy helping with the
band. I like the band and I
think you will to.

The Howe Public School
system needs a band! I played
the trumpet for five years
and I am looking forward to
playing in another band.
Bands are interesting and
very educational. They tare
not very expensive, promotes
curricular activities, and pro-
vides entertainment for the
school.
A well organized band can
present three or four-concerts
a year. These concerts are
usually held during Christmas
and at the end of the school
year.
A band is educational be-
cause you read music and kee]
rhythm. One very important
thing a band does for a school
is give it spirit.

Having a band inthe Howe
Public Schools wo uld give
the students who like music
and those who would like to
play a chance to learn how to
play an instrument. In Deni-
son, a lot of the students were
in the band, and almost every^
one of them liked it a whole
'ot.
A band would also add more
interest and excitement to the
football games and pep rallies
A football game is more fun
when there is a band there,
which could cause more atten-
d ance at the games.

Gifts for Dad and Grand
dad for Fathers Day.
The Clean Up Week seems
to be a never ending week,
especially with the wind blow
ing down limbs every few
days, this has kept the city
crews quite busy.
We have had several delays
in the manufacturing of the
new police car, as the factory
keeps sending us delays, hope
they don't wait to long as our
FATHER’S DAY
LORE AND LEGEND
HOWE'S THAT.............
(continued from page one)
three farmers secured a long
chain (didn't say how long,
but it reached to a harder sur-
face) and tied it to the first of
the stuck tractors, removed it,
and then repeated on the oth-
er.
Finally, the mowing and
tilling etc. was completed,
and even the poles for the
back stops have been set. I
started down there for a story,
but was afraid I would get
stuck.
"Mr. Reeves ate break-
fast here."
That's what the caller said
the other day.
"Ate where?" 1 asked.
"At the Howe Cafe."
"Was it Claude, or A. L. ?"
"No, it was Dan of the Dal-
las Cowboys."
Never heard of him.
present patrol car has been in
the hospital for a engine trans-
plant this past week, however
it is feeling better now.
I met with the Park Commit
tee and Barry LeBarron last
veek, things are looking bet-
ter if the Parks and Wildlife
Department has money avail-
able for a 50% grant. Barry
LeBarron is going to Austin
this week to check on this.
W e are looking for a total cost
of $200, 000.00 on this pro-
ject.
I understand we will be pre-
sented some rezoning applica-
tions at the June 14 meeting.
Should be an interesting meet-
ing.
I have just had some com-
plaints on water run offs, trees
and streets in W estern Hills
today, and will cover these
next week.
Although we tend to take
Father’s Day for granted, it
was only a year ago that it
was established permanently
by congressional resolution.
Since 1910, the occasion had
to be designated every year,
rather than observed auto-
matically, like Mother’s Day.
How it became part of the
calendar is an interesting story
of angry battles in Congress
and protest all across the land
One of the most notable ef-
forts was launched by Senator
Margaret Chase Smith who,
in 1957, sent a proposal to
Congress which read, in part:
“... The Congress has been
guilty now for forty years of.
the worst possible oversight,
to say the least, perpetrated
against the gallant fathers,
young, and old, of our land...
Either we honor both our
parents, mothers and fathers,
or let us desist from honoring
either one... But to single out
just one of our two parents
and omit the other is the most
grievous insult imaginable.”
