Mac Davis Talks ‘Texan’
Texas born and raised
singer-songwriter^actor Mac
Davis loves Texas. And his
actions speak louder than
his words.
His latest album “Texas In
My Rearview Mirror” re-
flects Mac’s boyhood years
in Lubbock, his early
tribulations as a struggling
songwriter and where he is
now-but most importantly-
it reflects his self realization
about remembering from
where he came.
In essence, key songs he
penned for the album
address the virtues of
friendship, compassion for

mankind, his love for Texas
and its people and a desire
to contribute something of
real value to humanity of
which he and society can be
proud.
“1116 State of Texas and
all Texans have just reason
to be proud of Mac Davis.
Other than through song,
Mac is concerned and
speaking for the conser-
vation and wise and
judicious use of this state’s
soil, water and related
renewable resources,” said
Hermon Petty of Mineral
Wells, former president of
the Association of Texas Soil
and Water Conservation
Districts and current
member, Texas State Soil
and Water Conservation
Board.
Recently the Texas bom
celebrity agreed to assist
Texas soil and water conser-
vation districts with a public
awareness program which
hones in on the importance
and dependence all Texans
have upon their state’s
renewable natural
resources.
“You know, the people of
Texas have done more for
me than what I can ever
hope to give in return for
their kindness. So it was a
natural thing to do when the
opportunity presented itself
to participate in this
conservation education
program,” said Davis.
“ I’m for environmentalism
as the the term might apply
to judicious, responsible
uses of our natural
resources to meet today’s
and tomorrow’s needs of our
society. People have to be
fed, they have to be clothed
and we all have to have a
place to live.”
“As far as my involvement
goes, I just wanted to have a
part in helping people to
become more aware of and
interested in the conser-
vation of soil, water and

renewable natural resources
as close to home as possible.
All of us can sleep a little
better at night if we know
that we're not just talking
from the land without giving
a little consideration for
tomorrow,” said Davis.
The singer-composer
recently recorded a series of
radio public service spots to
be released shortly which
lend his talents in narration
and music to the need for
conserving and wisely using
renewable natural
resources.
Touching on the enter-
tainer’s involvement in the
state's soil and water
conservation program Petty
said, “Mac is expressing
better than what we are able
through his creative abilities
our concern for the
shrinking resource base of
soil and water caused by
public pressures on these
resources while at the same
time contemplating the
needs of an expanding
population.”
“In short he is saying we
have an obligation to
develop and follow a policy
to protect these resources so
that we can perpetuate and
guarantee productivity for
future generations,” added
Petty.
“Mac wrote a song several
years ago titled ‘In the Eyes
of My People’. It’s included
on his latest album and it’s a
song he uses to close his
shows, but the significance
of the composition is that is
expresses a strong desire to
make a contribution in life of
which his people can be
proud of him. That goal and
dream is accomplished as
far as we Texans are
concerned,” concluded
Petty.
Phonics
Program
The Mel Gablers of
Longview, Texas have is-
sued a rating sheet covering
the five (5) supplemental
phonics programs now avail-
able for selection by local
school districts.
This rating sheet identifies
the programs which can be
effectively used for teaching
children to read well.
These supplemental pro-
grams will be provided at
state expense to schools
electing to supplement the
five basal reading programs
recently adopted. The State
Board of Education is mak-
ing these materials available
because many feel the ba-
sals are deficient and do not
provide the proper founda-
tion for reading.
