Our Country
What have v/e to be grateful
for in America? There are in-
deed many things. I mention
only a few of these.
We have a beautiful coun-
try. It is filled with variety,
from towering mountain peaks
to smooth beaches at the
ocean’s edge.
America has dense forests
such as the big thicket, and
also the high plains. It has
mile after mile of fertile soil,
and then it has the white
sands.
It has wide areas of prairie,
and it also has huge trees
such as the red wood in Cali-
fornia. It has rivers and hills,
flowers and shrubs, desert and
scenic coast line.
We have a prosperous coun-
try. No other people on earth
enjoy the astonishing prosperi-
ty that we experience in
America. The opportunities
here are unlimited. The stan-
dard of living has esculated to
a very high level.
We have a democratic form
of government In our country
each person has the right to.
worship God as his conscience
dictates. We have the right to
freedom of speech and free-
dom of the press.
We have the right to peace-
ably assemble.
We have the right to peti-
tion for redress of grievances.
We have the right to privacy
in our homes.
We have the right of Ha-
beas Corpus — no excessive
bail.
We have the right to trial
by. jury — innocent until
proved guilty.
We have the right to move
about freely at home or
abroad.
We have the right to own
private property.
We have the right to free
elections and personal secret
ballot.
We have the right to bar-
gain with our employers and
employees.
We have the right to work
in callings and localities of
our choice.
We have the right to go into
business, compete, make a pro-
fit.
We have the right to bar-
gain for goods and services in
a free market.
We have the right to make
contract concerning our af-
fairs.
We have the right to the
service of government as a
protector and referee. -
We have the right to free-
dom from arbitrary govern-
ment regulation and control.
Our democracy is designed
to serve the people. If we
truly appreciate the Ameri-
can way of life, it behooves us.
not only to maintain this un-
usual heritage, but to pass it
intact to succeeding genera-
tions.
To do so requires the in-
volvement of each person by
his own exemplary conduct.
Nothing less will fulfill the
responsibility of every true
American.

Now is the time far all good
people to come to the aid of
their County — Courthouse,
that is.
Last spring Bosque County
was notified that the county
courthouse had been placed
on the National Register of
Historic Places, a signal bonor
of which everyone seemed
proud. No other building in
the county received such dis-
tinction.
What are the advantages?
Almost all funds anywhere
which are granted to assist in
historic preservation have as
a requirement a "certified his-
toric building or landmark.”
Each year more and more
funds become available for
this purpose.
The Texas Historical Com-
mision has money available
right now for courthouses of
Texas. The county must apply
and match the money 50-50.
This can be done over a period
of several years if necessary,
provided a plan is drawn up
by a preservation specialist.
The object is to preserve the
historical integrity of the
particular building. This
means both inside and out
The present plans to repair
the offices of the county judge
and the district attorney by
covering the original plastered
walls with wood paneling is
contrary to what is considered
as “maintaining the integrity
of the historic structure."
When the Texas Historical
Commission notifies the Na-
tional Park Service that they
have awarded money to a
county courthouse which is at
the same time altering the in-
terior, there may be second
thoughts about helping to pre-
serve the outside.
Look at it this way. The
courthouse belongs to all the
taxpayers of the county. The
judge has indicated that if
the local people give him the
go-ahead, he will) continue
with the project, regardless of
the opinion of the State or
other officials.

This week! Today! Immedi-
ately! Don’t delay!
Rebecca D. Badde
Chairman, Bosque County
Historical Commission
Dear Mr. Jordan:
There has been widespread
confusion, controversy and in-’
terest in our proposal to re-
move the electrical outlets
from Plowman Creek and Mc-
Cown Valley Parks and place
them in Cedron Creek Park
at Lake Whitney, Tears.
This letter is to inform yon
that I am expanding the com-
ment period on our proposal
until Nov. 1.
I believe the consolidation
of these outlet boxes is in the
best interest of the public;
however, all -but one of the
eight written comments re-
ceived. reflected opposition to
the move. The following is ►
summary of the comments re-
ceived and my responses to
them:
a. Two respondents thought
the parks were going to he
dosed and two others thought
that all electrical service, spe-
cifically the security lights,
were being removed. This is
not the case. We propose only
to move the camper service
electrical outlet boxes. The
parks will remain open to the
public year round and free of
charge.
b. Five respondents felt we
should leave the existing out-
lets in the parks and provide
even more outlets. The Corps
of Engineers’ development of
recreation facilities (including
electrical outlets) at our lakes
was curtailed after Fiscal
Year 1074. Administrative
guidelines wen furnished to
us which stated in put that,
begtaaing' with Fiscal' Year
1975, the Corps of Engineers
couM no longer develop rec-
reation facilities unless a non-
Federal government agency
would share the cost of devel-
opment and provide the opera-
tion and maintenance of such
facilities under the provisions
of Public Law 89-72. Since no
local sponsor has come for-
ward as a cost sharing part-
ner, our hands are tied by
these guidelines. Because of
this, the only way we can in-
crease the number of outlets
in any park to a level which
is economically feasible to op-
erate, is to consolidate outlets
from other parks, since this
would not increase the total
be up-
B they
they are, they
costs more to collect the fees
than the fee
(which m« set fey taw).
Also, no
of the
in Plowman
Vailley
Cedron
to be en-
t—ilitii* (in-
cluding electrical outlets)
for this he
h. MeCewa Valley Park is
the meat aexaie tad beautiful
spot ee> the take and the fish-
ing, v—tmg Mi beaches are
well protected from the wind
and waves. Tils is tree; how-
ever, we are aet closing the
Thursday, Oet. 13, i
parks. They will remain .
to anyone who wishes to
them.
In summary, I feel the
■oval of substandard elec,
cal outlets from McCown Vi
ley and Plowman Creek
and the placement of
electrical outlets in
Creek Park will acco
the following for
Lake:
a. It will provide the
mum number of modern,.
quality outlets to the pu
on a year round basis rat
than limiting availability
22 outlets to only 120 days
year.
b. It will accomplish this
a cost of not substant
higher than that required
upgrade the existing outlets.1
c. It will allow the Corps
of Engineers to more efficient-
ly administer the user fee pro-
gram during the winter
months with resulting better
service to the overall public.
d. By consolidating campers,
it adll provide them better se-
curity during the winter
months.
I would appreciate it very
much if you would pass this
information along. I look for-
ward to receiving additional
thoughts from your informed
readers.
