Tourism could
be the answer
A study by the Center for
Business Research and
Development at East Texas
State University suggests that
the East Texans in the five-
county area affected by the
layoff at Lone Star Steel might
be earning more money with an
investment in tourism.
The center, working on a
$75,000 contract from the
Northeast Texas Economic
Development District in
Texarkana, completed Phase I
of a program designed to
"support and foster the
development of a stronger
economic base” for the East
Texas area, according to Lee
Stearman, director of the
center.
The center's report shows
that last fall the unemployment
rate for Camp, Cass, Marion,
Morris and Upshur counties
was as high as 25.5 percent. The
rate in Morris County alone was
30.1 percent.
The education part of the
Phase II will begin April 7 when
NETEDD, Texas Industrial
Commission and Southwestern
Electric Co. conduct a
workshop near Hughes Springs.
Swatsell wins award
A Sulphur Springs
businessman is the wiimer of a
top sales award and also is one
of 11 nationwide winners of
service awards, all in his first
year with Gulf Oil Co.
Hollie Swatsell of Sulphur
Springs entered the Gulf Oil
Company fold a year ago and
has emerged as the winner of
Gulf’s “Tradition of Service”
award as one of their top job-
bers.
In making the announcement
of the national award, Nolan
Burrows, account executive for
the Dallas region, Gulf Oil, said,
“Hollie Swatsell was not only
picked as one of the top 11
jobbers in the nation, but he is
the number one in sales of tires,
batteries and accessories in the
U.S. To do that in his first year
with Gulf is just unheard of.”
Swatsell quipped that his
closest competitor in the con-
test was “a jobber in a small
town in Pennsylvania called
Pittsburgh.”
Burrows and Lynn Clampitte,
retail marketeer for Gulf Oil,
who were in Sulphur Springs
Wednesday to congratulate
Swatsell, explained that jobbers
are selected on the basis of
“outstanding servipe,
upgrading of stations and their
work with dealers.”
Burrows said, “Swatsell was
not only first in the nation in
TBA, but one of the top jobbers
in petroleum products. I’ve
worked with jobbers in four
states for 37 years, but his is one
of the most outstanding
records...he is a real plus for
Gulf.”
Swatsell’s reward for his
achievements will be a trip to
Jamaica and a tropin

New program set to inform
taxpayers of their rights
Kenneth Graeber, executive
director of the State Property
Tax Board (SPTB), has an-
nounced the beginning of a
statewide program for 1983 to
inform property owners in
Texas of their rights, remedies
and responsibilities as tax-
payers.
In conducting the^
multifacited program, Graeber
said, SPTB will be working with
appraisal districts, local tax
offices and the state's news
media to help make Texas
aware of property rendition
requirements, available ■ tax
relief measures and of what
property owners must do to
obtain any tax relief to which
they are entitled.
“It is important that tax-
payers file renditions and ap-
plications for tax relief by May
2 this year," Graeber said.
“Major changes in the state's
tax laws were effective last
year with implementation of the
Texas Property code and the
new central appraisal
districts,” he noted.
Graeber said that provisions

of the code not only make it
possible for taxpayers to file all
exemption applications and
property renditions with one
office in a county rather than
with multiple tax offices, but
also permit one-time ap-
plications for homestead
exemptions and special open-
space land valuation, rather
than annual applications as
previously required.
However, the tax official said
that in appraisal districts which
did not implement their
operations in 1982, requirments
fr taxpayers to file renditions
and applications will differ. In
all except 15 of the state's 254
counties, he said, appraisal
district were in full operation in
1982. Fourteen of the remaining
districts started full operation
this year.
