BY BURNIS K. LAWRENCE
PUBLISHER
THE MOONIES ARE WORKING
... this area quite strongly
these days distributing literature,
selling gum or key chains and
taking money.
Some parents have expressed
the fear that “you don’t know
what else they might be doing.”
Those to whom I am referring
are members of the Unification
Church of America, which was
founded by South Korean Dr.
Moon.
This week City Manager Bill
Young restricted them from
selling or trying to sell anything
in the residential area. They did
work the commercial part of town
and the one to whom I said “this
is the worst day [deadline] to
come around, so I don’t have time
for anything, and don’t bother my
help either," was very polite, but
his tongue was a little caustic
when he said, “have a nice day.”

THE ENERGY PLAN
... proposed by President
Carter has Governor Dolph
Briscoe and other Texans up in
arms. They feel the state is being
discriminated against by the
“back East planners."
I know that Gov. Briscoe told
the South Texas Press Associ-
ation convention in San Antonio
last Friday that “if this plan is
implemented, it will cost Texans
something more than $6 billion
dollars annually."
My concern is that Mr. Carter
failed to say anything about
producing petroleum, such as
making the New England states
allow drilling for oil in their
coastal waters. The same holds
true for parts of California; and he
also said nothing about north-
eastern states sharing coal with
the Southwest.
It seems to me the "flow has to
go toward the eastern area."
which certainly is not fair.
Unemployment certainly is a
big problem, and I can’t see the
President’s plan helping the situ-
ation. In fact, I see the reverse. If
his entire plan is adopted by
Congress, our unemployment
figures will be more than 10
percent in two years.
Small car producers in foreign
countries will reap a fortune and
the bread line in the United States
will lengthen.
I certainly believe in conserva-
tion and I’ll go along with him to a
certain extent. But also, I feel we

$5,000; Street Department, tw-r

At the meeting Hairy Domin
guez recommended that the City

that persons living east of the flood

case of flooding. The Council felt
this was a good idea and instructed
City Manager Bill Young to follow-
through on the suggestion to see if
it is feasible.

and $13.000in-local taxes were paid
by visitors.
The study was done by the U.S.
Travel Data Center in Washington,
DC., an independent travel
research organization funded joint-
ly by public and private sectors.
It was based on the Center's
Travel Economic Impact Model,
which for the first time, breaks out
a state’s share of the national travel
market on a county-bv-countv-
bass.
The model measures the
economic impact of all travel
involving overnight trips away
from home, and day trips at least
100 miles or more from horn1. Thus
it includes travel by Texans as w-ell
as out-of-state visitors, for all
purposes.
It includes estimates of the
traveler's spending at home in prep-
aration for the trip, his spending in
route, and that at his destination
Basic data for the model comes
from the National Travel Survey,
conducted every five years by the
U.S. Census Bureau, and from the
Center's own National Travel Ex-
penditure Model.
It was the latter which, last year,
-estimated that Texas had dislodged
New York for third place in the
nation's $75 billion travel industry.
Only California and Florida now
ourtank Texas, the Center said.
“We're pleased that travel re-
search techniques have finally
developed to the point that states
can determine where, within their
boundaries, travel dollars are spent
and travel-related jobs exist." said
Frank Hildebrand, executive direc-
tor of the Texas Tourist Develop-
ment Agency.
"Now we can trace travel's
considerable economic impact on
County-by-county basis, observ e
changing patterns annually, and
help direct the rapid growth of this
burgeoning industry."
Thieves take
cash receipts
Hondo police are continuing their
investigation into a week endTtreak-
in at the Hondo Dairy Queen.
The break-in was discovered
Monday morning and apparently
occurred sometime Sunday evening
or early Monday. Missing is a large
amount of money kept in the office
safe and some cigarettes and
change from a vending machine.
Authorities said entry to the
building was made by forcing open
the drive-in window at the building.
Intruders apparently fled through
the rear door.
It was not immediately deter-
mined how much money was
missing but it is believed to be
several hundred dollars.
