Brief notes: Optimism is
growing over the prospects for
the huge Cooper Lake project,
which could prove of sub-
stantial benefit for all of
Northeast Texas ... While a
bountiful supply of water is the
No. 1 objective for the project,
it could offer some sideline
attractions ... Recreational
attractions, that is, other than
fishing and boating ...
Preliminary plans show that
four islands are projected for
Cooper Lake. The islands, each
of about 200 acres, could prove
ideal for those seeking real
adventure ... Scouts, for
example, could have exciting
times exploring the islands and
challenging their own outdoor
skills ... Cooper Lake’s
possibilities are unlimited.
Hopefully, many will be
realized soon ... Delta County
Judge Troy Kern, who was
appointed to the job and then
won election, admits that his
county is rather small but that
it has problems. While at-
tending the hearing on the
supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement for Cooper
Lake, he explained some of the
problems.
Sulphur Springs’ Bob Caraway,
by a slim 19,217 to 18,004 count
... Bob Hendrix of McKinney,
who has a number of friends
here, lost out in his bid to win
re-election in District 24,
Collins County. A Plano
Republican, Frank C. Eiken-
burg, overwhelmed Hendrix,
31,949 to 19,334 ... Hendrix,;
however, probably had the best
pre-election gimmick of. the
campaign. He was honored at A •
reception, staged in the scenic;
home used in the "Dallas” hit
television series, but that was
not enough to tilt the election in
Collins County, which may be
able to claim two members of
the legislature after the state is
redistricted.
