Had a letter from beryl Jones. She said they had
good attendance and a good service at church Sunday.
Johnie Fae and Kenneth Smith are leaving tomor-

All stay well and happy.

been responsible for the delivery
of live animals, such as ducklings,
chicks and even medication.
“A lot of things go on behind
the scenes that people take for
granted,” she said. “For example,
medication is sent third class mail
so the carriers try to deliver it im-
mediatly,” she said, “and at
Christmas time, we make sure
packages we believe are gifts are
delivered by Christmas morning.”
For the most part, Gilman said,
she gets along well with the
majority of the people on her
route.
“I have a good repoire with
99% of the people,” she said.
“They offer cold water on hot days
and coffee in the winter.
“It’s a people-type job. You
treat people like they want to be

the same thing that happened
with House Bill 72 which han-
ded down mandates to the local
school districts.
“The Teacher Appraisal Act
puts pressure on teachers,”
Erickson said. “It creates more
paperwork and is ineffective.”
He said local districts, like
Dublin, don’t want mandates
Board members present were
Travis Barnes, president; Jayne
Ledbetter, vice-president; Con-
nie Welch, Larry Gibson, Mike
Jumey and Pat Sharp. Board
member absent was John
Cowan. Administrator present
was Roy Neff, superintendent.
and'he feels, because of increas-
ing financial burdens on tax-
payers, it triggers roll-back elec-
tions.
Erickson said that a repeal of
some parts of House Bill 72 is
needed because that would clean
out the mandates, thus giving
the local districts the power to
do their own mandating.
• “As many mandates as pos-
sible need to be eliminated out
of the school district,” he said.
“Like back in the 1950’s and
60’s.
1 “Real leadership, after hear-
ing from the people of this area,
as I have for the last 12 years,
should realize they are tired of
the liberal agenda and work to
clean up this mess, returning
control to the good people of
this area, to local school boards,
teachers and parents.”
We’re generating
more than
electricity.
Jobs Power The Future
Big cities and small towns
across the area we serve
are stretching their hori-
zons. They’re searching
out new industries and
new companies to bring
new jobs. When the com-
panies see what we have
here - people who will
work hard to build a better
future, some of the most
attractive electric rates in
the nation, and an attitude
set on winning - they
decide to move here.
Electricity Powers
TheJobs
That’s why we need to
build new generating
plants and power lines,
and develop alternate fuel
sources like nuclear
power. To mak§ sure we
can keep expanding op-
portunities for young
people who want tii raise
families here. To make
sure you have the electric-
ity you need - today and
tomorrow
Power For Texas
TU Electric is committed to
helping make a better
future for all of us. And to
provide all the power that
is needed to fuel the new
economy. Electric Power.
The Power for Texas.
