Letters from the Mailbox *****
Dear Burnis.
1 want to thank all the
people who bought tickets
and had supper with us at
The Hondo Lions Club
.Pancake Supper last
Thursday. A special
thanks to mv fellow Lions
who worked so hard to
make it a success and the
band students who were
such a great help with our
ticket sales.
This year is the 35th
anniversary of the Hondo
Lions Club, and I per-
onnlly think our town has
let'll a little better because
we hav e had a Lions Club,
'scholarship Fund, which
tlie pancake supper pro-
ceeds will to, is just one
example of many good
projects the Lions have
conducted over the 35-
> car period it has been
. : iv e
\\ e want to invite any-
one who is interested to
become a nit liber of our
t'luli and get active in the
largest service organiza-
tion in the world
Sincerely,
Thomas (1 Hollmig

Dear Editor:
A great deal of informa-
tion has been supplied to
the news media in recent
weeks concerning the vari-
ous educational programs
now pending before the
legislature.
I want to share with
you and your readers the
impact of the program I
support. Therefore 1 have
listed below the present
amount of state aid re-
ceived this year bv the
districts in your area,
compared with the state
aid that would be provid-
ed under mv proposal

$1,332,000; Medina
Valley, current $610,000.
proposed $1,348,000.
One of the main thrusts
of my program is to
equalize tax payer effort.
With limited state dollars,
some districts of average
or better than average
wealth or taxing ability
would not receive increas-
ed stale aid. but would not
bepenalized in reduced
state aid. Such districts
are not listed above.
No school district in
Texas would be required
io increase local taxes to
pay for any part of my
plan except those
wealthier districts which
would need to increase
their effort to provide for
anv teacher salary in-
crease approved by the
legislature.
The time has come to
substantially equalize
educational opportunities
and taxpayer efforts int he
state system of public
education. If we do not, 1
can assure you that the
courts will. We have as
choices a legislative solu-
tion or a court-ordered
solution. I prefer--and
think the vast majority of
Texans prefer-legislative
action now. It can be done
in this regular session of
the legislature, within
available state revenues
and without new taxes.
It is my feeling that the
citizens served by your
newspaper should have
t he above information and
I would appreciate your
making it available as
soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Dolph Briscoe
Governor of Texas
Dear Mr. Lawrence,
Thank you for publish-
ing my Hondo Jr. Garden
Club reports in the paper.
1 really enjoyed being
reporter for my club since
you were all so nice to me.
The Hondo Jr. Garden

the support you give us.
I hope 1 will be reporter

Dear Mr. Lawrence:
On February 17th, I
announced my intention
to run for President of the
United States.
The decision to seek the
office of President was not
easy. It is a demanding
and consuming task re-
quiring many personal
sacrifices. But my de-
cision was borne of the
conviction that I can do
the job.

Americans view the pri-
mary campaign trail as an
intraparty struggle over
which they can exert very
little influence.
But the time is past
when the majority of this
country can sit back ind
wait for election day o
make their decision. The
stakes are just too great.
The problems facing our
country are complex and
demand that the Ameri-
can public become involv-
ed in their solutions... and
the choice of those people
who will implement the
solutions.
Fortunately, not only
do the times dictate your
participation, but because
of the very strict (and
very good) campaign re-
form laws, a candidate
simply must have the
support of a large segment
of the American public if
he is to wage a meaningful
campaign. With the addi-
tional responsibilities
which every concerned
American' must assume.
The election is not a
year and a half away...it’s
happening right now.
Votes are being cast every
day and I need yours. It’s
important to me and it’s
important to you. Can I
count on your support and
contribution?
Sincerely,
Lloyd Bentsen
P S. If I am to succeed, I
must rely on people like
yourself for help. If you
agree with me, let me hear
from you.
Dear Burnis:
Many thanks for your
nice letter about the South
Texas Press Association
meeting. Dit and I certain-
ly enjoyed it and are
looking forward to the
Brownsville meeting next
year.
In the meantime, I hope
I’ll have an opportunity to
visit Hondo and take you
up on that invitation to
visit the Museum.
With kindest regards.

Things proved to be
rather quiet around here
this week, which is a
refreshing and welcome
change.
Nevertheless, we did
receive a letter which we
would hope can pay off for
our city. It went like this:
“Dear Sirs: I am writ-
ing to several areas within
your state to determine a
profitable area to relocate
my business. If you would
send me the following
information, 1 can better
determine the area best
for me to relocate:
“Horse population in
your area; names and
addresses of known black
smiths; names and ad-
dresses of known laige
stables and/or trainers;
names and addresses of
known vets that specialize
in horses.
“The above mentioned
information, plus any fur-
ther information you be-
lieve would be helpful,
would be greatly appreci-
ated Thank you, Dennis
C McCarty, Lima, Ohio."
All of a sudden many
people want housing. We
listed one, received 9

made 31 referrals: Job

considered; kinds and types of

Data available to EPA indicates
that the Edwards Aquifer may be
the sole source of water supply for
the City of San Antonio, five
military installations, and 16 other
smaller cities and towns including
San Marcos, New Braunfels.

The Sierra Club. League of
Women Voters and Citizens for a
Better Environment (all of San
Antonio) have petitioned the EPA
to designate the Edwards Aquifer
as the sole or principal drinking
water source for San Antonio.
According to Bruce T Foster,
director of the Fdwards Under-
ground Water District which has
been fighting for protection tor this
area many years and feels every-
thing is under control, "here is the
fly in the ointment " in case the area
is so designated
"If the designation is made, no
commitment for Federal financial
assistance may be made to the
specific area if the FPA determines
it will contaminate the aquifer so as
to create a significant hazard to
public health
The Environmental News con-
tinues: "This does not mean lh;*t
all Federal assistance programs to
the specified area will he eliminat-
ed. It refers only to those Federal
projects which may pollute the
aquifi r. "
Which means, according to those
who know, that "one man. Russell
Train, EPA director, will be saving
what can or cannot be built on
hundreds of thousands of acres of
land which provides the livlihoods
of many people."

sterile matings have oc-
curred, eradication is
achieved
In’ Texas in April
217,033,900 sterile flies
were released
Reporting Is Important
Program officials de-
pend on ranchers to keep
informed of the where-
abouts of screwworm pop-
ulations. Samples of
worms collected from
wounds are microscopical-
ly examined in the labora-
tory. When a sample is
identified as serewworms,
rather than their look-
rousi.is, the common
blowfly, eradication meas-
ures begin in the area
where sample was collect-
ed.
Livestock owners are
urged to carefully inspect
the navels of newborn
calves, the major source of
screwworm infestation in
the spring. In addition,
shearing, docking, ear-
marking, branding,
surgery and other "work-
ing” wounds are prime
prospects for screwworm
infestations this time of
year.
Use Preventive Methods
Spraying or dipping
with a USDA-approved
insecticide can reduce the
risk if it is absolutely
necessary to “work" the
anime's.
When worms are found,
Novy asks owners to
carefully collect a sample
from deep in the center of
the wound and submit it
for laboratory identifica-
tion
Sample kits are avail-
able from county Exten-
sion agents, livestock in-
spectors and many veter-
inarians, or from the Mis-
sion Lab, Box 969,
