THE BASTROP ADVERTISER AND COUNTY NEWS
Page 3
Dick Burdick of Rosanky
stands next to his pride and joy,
a 1933 Auburn Cord Duesenberg
automobile which is on exhibit at
his Central Texas Museum of
Automotive History. The car,
one of only 33 built, weighs 5,350
pounds and is powered by a
straight eight-cylinder engine. It
features automatic chassis lube
and sophisticated warning lights
that alert the driver when to
change the oil or add water. One
problem with driving the car on
the road today is that it was built
to go 75 mph—in second gear.
The running mate to this auto
was sold at auction in Las Vegas
three months ago for over a mil-
lion dollars. Burdick said the
Duesenbergs were used to race in
the Indianapolis 500. Among the
other autos at his museum, Bur-
dick has one of only four 1910
Empire Motors Speedsters, the
forerunner to the Stutz. The one
on display ran in the first Indy
race when it was run on a brick
track. The museum is open from
9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday
through Saturday and from 2:30
to 5 p.m. Sunday. Admission is
$2.50 for adults and $1.50 for
children ages 6-12. Staff photo by

Women’s Shelter addressed
Allred Maldonado, ot (he Austin
Rape Crisis Center, recently ga\e
a series of four lectures to Bastrop
County Women's Shelter volun
leers His lectures covered sexual
assault ol children, women and the
elderly the last of which is espe-
cially important to the large num-
ber of retirees living in Bastrop
County
Some ot the important points co-
vered m regard to elderly women
are never give personal informa-
tion to strangers or over the tele-
phone. use initials rather than a
first name in the telephone direc-
tory and on mailboxes; and never
let anyone in to use your telephone,
but instead otter to make an emer-
gency call youtsell
Mr Madonado also stressed the
importance of being aware of what
is going on around you when away
from home and to maintain an air
ot confidence as you move along
T he speaker also said that a large
percentage of women ot all ages
are abused by someone they know
and trust, and it is crucial to react
to an attack of any kind w ithin the
first ten seconds.
It is only a myth. Maldonado
said, that a woman is safer if she
does not resist Resistance gives a
much better chance of getting aw ay
safely and screaming is essential,
he pointed out

formation sheet dealing with

much the way vitamin D is added
to milk to prevent calcium defi-
ciencies
Anti-cancer agents Dr Rotsiein
is studying that occur naturally in
the body include vitamin E and
glutathione
"We want to see if higher lev-
els of these agents could prevent
the progression of cancer." said
Dr Rotstein
Dr Rotstein notes that his
research is important because many
lesions are not discovered until
thev are very nearly cancerous
"If we can prevent the further
development of pre-cancerous le-
sions. we will move another step
forward in the control of cancer."
he said.
Dr Rotstein added that although
his research is focusing on skin
cancer—the most common form of
cancer—it also may have applica-
tions to other forms of cancer.
He joined the Science Park-
Reseach Div ision last year from the
University of Toronto, where he
trained with Dr. Emmanual Farb-
er. one ot the world's foremost
researchers in the field of chemi-
Audubon Society sets
Wednesday meeting
A general meeting of the Bastrop
County Audubon Society will be
held on Wednesday, March 19 at
7:30 p.m. in the Civic Room of the
First National Bank of Bastrop.
The guest speaker will be Alan
Tennant, author of The Snakes of
Texas, The Guadalupe Mountains
of Texas and A Field Guide to the
Snakes of Texas. He is also a con-
tributor to several periodicals, in-
cluding Audubon Magazine.
Tennant will present a slide pro-
gram entitled "Rain Forests” con-
cerning his recent trip up the
Amazon River. Also at this meet-
ing, a short program on the Sea-
birds of Coastal California will be
presented by David Mitchell. In
addition. Melissa Bishop will edu-
cate the group as to some aspects
of bird biology.
There will also be a presentation
of award(s) to the Bastrop High
School Science Fair project which
best illustrates the environmental
and conservation concerns of the
Audubon Society.
A BCAS field trip Feb. 23 on the
Lake Buchanan River Cruise to see
the bald eagles was a big success.
Thirty adventurers embarked on
the "Bertha” for a beautiful day
of boating and birding. Several ea-
gles were sighted, a few almost wi-
thin reach, and flocks of pelicans,
cormorants and geese made an ap-
pearance.
Upcoming field trips include a
Haley’s Comet Watch campout in
McDade on March 22 including
telescopes, hopefully. Also, an an-
nual outing for birders to the Up-
per Texas Coast for the annual
migration of birds in late April and
early May. Beginning birders and
others interested are invited to join
the group.
The public is encouraged to at-
tend any and all activities of the
Bastrop County Audubon Society.

ing group of concerned individu-
als from around the county can be
obtained from David or Barbara
Carson in McDade, 273-2840.

OPINION
QUESTIONNAIRE
Bastrop City Policies
Dear city and ETJ residents,
This questionnaire is printed in the hope that it will benefit
the city and surrounding area, even if I am not elected to the
city council. The results will be passed on to the city council
to use as they choose. Please respond for
your own benefit as well as your neighbor’s. You must include
your name, address, phone number, and location of residence
(e g., in city limits or in ETJ). Feel free to include any addition-
al comments you may so desire. Send or bring all responses
to my office at 710 Chestnut in downtown Bastrop.
Thank You for Your Opinion,
Edwin J. Tavis, D.C.
.1. Do you think Bastrop will continue to grow?
2. Should we promote the growth of the city or discourage it£
3. If the city continues to grow, how should we handle it:
•Informed far sighted planning?
•Let it go unchecked and result in ‘‘Big City” problems?
• Ignore it and hope it goes away?
4. Who should pay for the costs of new growth:
•Developers, new residents, and new businesses only?
•Shared by all, new and established?
5. Who should pay for the costs of maintenance and needed improvements to ex-
isting city services to existing city residents:
•Existing residents and businesses only?
•New residents and businesses only?
•Shared by all of the above?
6. How should we pay for major street improvements/renovations keeping in mind
that there is no major source of funds for this area other than the general fund
which is highly stressed to cover many different areas of funding?
Would you vote for a city wide road improvement (and drainage) bond election?
7. Rate the following items 1 to 15 in order of importance as you think the city
should handle them:
•Acquisition of new park properties.
•Development of existing park areas.
•Improved waste water treatment facilities and capacity.
•Street improvements and repairs.
•Traffic control (comment on where and when).
•Building/proparty use restrictions and planned uses.
•Flood control/drainage. (where?)
•Stronger more active police force.
•Quality control by building inspectors in all phases of construction.
•New water wells and supply system upgrading.
•ETJ regulations coordinated with the county.
•Concentration on downtown area improvements.
•Attracting new major businesses to the Bastrop area.
•City wide historic preservation.
•Speed reduction and/or more safety along Highway 71.
8. What do you .think are our three most immediately pressing problems and how
would you deal with them?_
I like Bastrop. There are some thingsWe need to change, and some things we
don’t want changed. We need to control our own destiny. I am not concerned
wiht only a few issues, but with every aspect of our city’s health. I’m not going
to be moving out of the city limits in 7 months, and I work and buy right here in
our city. I’ve been following the city council’s actions since before the last elec-
tion when I had a re-zoning request. I am familiar with many of the procedures
of the job and feel that I can prqvide a reasonable continuity to the existing struc-
ture of government without letting it stagnate.
