Pepsi, H.E.B. begin program
Pepsi-Cola Bottling Group and
HEB have joined forces to assist
parents in being prepared should
their child be discovered missing or
abducted through an identification
effort called “Protecta-Kid” program
Beginning Oct. 10 through Oct. 31,
shoppers in HEB stores can obtain a
free “Protecta-Kid-Kit" with pur
chase of any Pepsi product The kit is
a complete fingerprint, identification
and family guide for protection of
children.
According to Randy Haap, business
development manager for Pepsi-Cola
Bottling Group, “From a corporate
point of view, Pepsi has a commit
ment to the community it serves and
we have demonstrated this support
The owner of each off premise
advertising sign which was erected
before Sept 1, 1985 along a road
outside an incorporated dty or town
in Texas is required by recent
legislation to register the sign by
Dec 30, 1985 or remove the sign,
acoordlng to Raymond E. Stotzer Jr.
: | The new law is known as House Bill
133() and refers to an off-premise sign
as “a sign which advertises a service
or product not principally sold on the
premises where the sign is located.”
Stotzer said that forms are
available in the San Antonio District
Office for use in registering a sign and
that a form would be sent upon
request. He also said that a $25
nonrefundable fee is required with
the filing of the registration applica-
tion.
He pointed out that there are only
through a variety of projects
Although one area we have identified
desperately needs to be repeatedly
addressed is that of child abduction
“According to the National Center
for Missing uid Exploited Children in
Washington, D.C., while the numbers
are estimates, they report that 'he
parameters of the problem for 19H4
total over one million children who
left voluntarily, parental abductions
exceed 25,000 and unknown aUlin
tions range somewhere from 4 20.000
annually,” Haap stated
Speaking on behalf of HEB, Tom
Farello, director of field services and
sales promotions, said “We view this
program as one of the most positive
two exceptions to the State registra
tion requirement If the sign was
allowed under the Highway Beautifi
cation provisions of the Texas Litter
Abatement Act or if the sign is in the
extra-territorial jurisdiction of a dt\
or town which is controlling signs
such extraterritorial jurisdiction, it
does not have to be registered with
the state.
In enacting House Bill 1330. the
Legislature also authorized the State
Department of Highways and Public
Transportation to regulate on1
premise and off-premise signs w hich
are erected after Sept 1. 1985 A
permit for each such sign is now
required. Permit application forms
are also available in the District
Office
The San Antonio District Office is
located at 4615 N.W. Loop 410 and
the telephone number is 696-1110
steps HEB can lake in helping fight
this growing problem. The beauty is
t he convenience and a parent can do it
at home and have the necessary
information immediately accessible
should the problem arise," he said
The kit has step-by-step instruc-
tions for the parent ranging from
what to do if a child is missing to a
parent's guide for safety and teaching
.••child how to prevent abduction by a
st ranger
Also included in the ‘Protecta
Kid Kit is a personal identification
card which covers all pertinent
information needed hv the police or
FBI in case a child is missing. In
addition to being able to record
physical characteristics, a space is
provided for a photograph with
rorommendations to update it annual
Iv
But the most unique aspect of the
kit is the fingerprinting materia)
which is a yellow moistened towelette
which allows you to fingerprint your
child w ithout any mess or residue left
on fingers Squares are provided on
the personal identification card for all
fingers plus a composite of four
fingers taken simultaneously.
HEB stores which will be partici-
pating in the “Protecta-Kid" program
include those in San Antbnio,
Fredericksburg, Kerrville, Seguin,
New Braunfels, Lockhart, Luting and
Marble Falls

in Texas and nearly 4 5 million across
the country, will be participating in
the week-long celebration using the
theme “4-H For Youth. For America
‘What we do for our youth today,
we do for America tomorrow.' points
out Coby Long, county 4-H program
leader with the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service. The Texas A&M
University System.
‘Through 4-H, young people can
acquire knowledge and develop life
skills that enable them to become
self-directing, productive and contri-
buting members of our society
Specifically, they learn g<x>d health
habits, develop respect for tin-
selves and others, explore career
leisure time opportunities ,<
responsibility foi preserving Ihe
environment, learn how to use
technology, and develop leadership
and citizenship skills through part in
pation in 4-H. And that's something
to celebrate
“But 4-H is not only for youth
says Long “It's for adults who as
volunteer leaders can share then-
skills and expertise , ,h young
people. It’s for families who can
participate in Ihe fun and learning
together It's for (fie community
which benefits from the community
service carried out by youth And. it s
for America, which benefits as a new
cadre df leaders take its place in our
society."
It is through this network of
volunteer leaders, state land-grant
universities, state and local govern
ments, and the U S. Department of
Agriculture that 4-H has been able to
stimulate youth to develop life skills
