City Council Meeting
[Continued from Page 1]
fore Council in a non-agenda matter
to express the need tor emergency
lighting at the police department
should there be a power failure.
Only the radio dispatching equip-
ment is on a battery backup at the
present time. Council members
were aware that the problem exist-
ed. City Manager McCorkle said he
is reading ads for possible purchase
of either a hand started generator
or one with automatic starting
equipment because new ones are so
expensive. At the suggestion of
Mayor Stempel, the possible use of
battery powered floodlights will be
investigated.
Elmer Rodgers reported on his
visit to Wisconsin to “check out” the
Nordburg 4,000 KW Dual Fuel (Gas
and Diesel) Generator which the
city’s power and light department is
considering. His reports are all
affirmative and these are based
upon exacting checks of the equip-
men in operation. Equipment such
as this unit is needed, he said. Bids
for relocation costs are not yet all
received, according to Roy McCor-
kle.
Of the probable total cost, some-
thing over 60 percent is already
accumulated from light department
revenues.
The City Manager reported that
plumbing work at Lake Scarbor-
ough has not been done, but is now
scheduled for the week of Novem-
ber 26. Also, that the Directors of
the Chamber of Commerce would
discuss expenditures of the funds
generated by the occupation tax and
recommendations given to the
Council at its next meeting.
Following is the letter concerning
ambulance service.

Gentlemen:
Several years ago the legislature
of the State of Texas passed the
Emergency Medical Care Act which
directs the Texas Department of
Health to regulate the operation of
ambulance service in the State of
Texas. The Act provided that over a
period of time there would be a
gradual upgrading of the motor
vehicles used as ambulances as well
as increased training required for
persons who staff these vehicles.
After January 1. 1985, each
vehicle must be staffed by two
specially skilled emergency medical
attendants or two paramedic emer-
gency technicians acting under med-
ical supervision. Also the vehicles
must be of a certain site and contain
certain equipment.
As you know, the funeral homes
of Coleman County have always
furnished the ambulance services
for the citizens of Coleman County.
However, due to the increased cost
involved in maintaining the proper
vehicles and the skill*! personnel,
the funeral homes can on longer
carry this burden which should be
11.25%
shared by all of the citizens of
Coleman County. The operation of
ambulance services over the past
years has been a continuing, ever
increasing monetary loss for each
year. Under the new regulations
this loss will increase dramatically
in the year 1985.
In view of the above, the funeral
homes in Coleman County regretful-
ly announce that they will no longer
be able to continue in the ambulance
service, both emergency and trans-
fer, after December 31, 1984.
Each funeral home regrets having
to take this action.
If at anytime the funeral homes as
a group or any of us as individuals
can be of assistance in an advisory
capacity, please feel free to call on

DIFFERENCES IN DUAL-
INCOME LIFESTYLES
Having children, as well as having
two paychecks, creates some major
lifestyle differences among dual
income families, says a Texas A&M
University Agricultural Extension
home economist. Researchers have
developed profiles of dual-income
families with no children, those with
young children and those with older
children, explains Diane T. Welch.
According to the profiles, families
with no children have work and
spousal relationships as tup priori-
ties, while children dominate the
lifestyle of couples with young
children. For many families, the
years with young children are the
greatest financial strain. A more
manageable lifestyle, characterizes
dual income families with older
children, observes the home econo-
Add Fall Color
To The Landscape
With many woody trees and
shrubs displaying their fall ward-
robe, now is a good time to consider
adding some of these plants for your
own landscape for fall and winter
effects.
Some plant species have colorful
foliage this time of the year while
others have attractive fruit, inter-
esting seed pods or unusual bark
characteristics, points out Kirby C.
Vanover, county agent with the
Texas Agricultural Extension Ser-
vice, Texas A&M University Sys-
tem.
Some of the most brilliant foliage
colors are provided by such species
as sweet gum, Chinese tallow, black
gum, dogwood, crape myrtle, maple,
Shumard oak, Texas oak, Callery
pear and Chinese pistachio.
Shrubs having attractive fall color
include winged euonymus, coton-
easter, mahonia, nandina, some
viburnums and the prairie sumac,
which has the most brilliant foliage
of all.
Plants noted for their colorful
berries or fruit include yaupon,
deciduous holly or possom haw,
American beautyberry, pyracantha,
hollies of all types, coralberry and
cotoneaster.
Dual purpose trees that have
interesting as well as edible fruit
include Japanese persimmon and
crabapple.
Plants such as the goldenrain
tree, screwbean mesquite and red
wing have interesting seedpods.
Other plants have colorful or
interesting bark to boost the winter
landscape. These include crape myr-
tle, red twig dogwood, birch, Texas
or black persimmon, lace bark elm
and sycamore.
Why not add some of these
colorful and interesting plants to
your landscape this fall? Many can
be obtained at nurseries and planted
immediately. Others must be
collected from their native habitat.
If you are going to collect plants,
tag them now so that you can find
them after the leaves and fruit have
fallen, suggests Vanover. And al-
ways obtain permission from the
landowner before digging.
mist. While family relationships are
important at this stage, the re-
search shows that many men and
women also make personal time a
high priority.
Big Bear
Weighing as much as a small sports
car, an adult Alaskan brown bear
shares a title with the polar bear as
the largest meat-eating land animals
in the world, says National Geo-
graphic World. The bear, which can
weigh up to 1,700 pounds, feasts on
berries, grasses, roots, salmon, and
small animals.
