SPARKS
“Forge jthv tongue* on an anvil of truth,
and what flies up, though it be but a
spark, shall have weight.’.’

BY BURNIS LAWRENCE
Publisher
DAVID FARRAR
believes in everyone seeing the Confeder-
ate Air Force AirSho. And he’s working on them
to see they do.
During the Soaring Society’s Vacation Derby
here a couple of weekends ago David approached
me and wanted some AirSho tickets. I gave him
50 and a few days ago he turned in $135 cash,
which meant he sold 27 tickets so far.
If anyone else wants to purchase tickets,
remember they are on sale at the Hondo Chamber
of Commerce office and Gill Savings Association.
SPEAKING OF GILL SAVINGS
. brings to mind a typographical error we
made last week. In trying to say we have tickets
on sale at all Gill Savings offices we made it
rather plain they weren’t.
But to set the record dear - CAF AirSho
tickets are on sale at Gill Savings offices in:
Hondo. Castroville, Devine, Lytle, Pearsall,
Cotulla and San Antonio.
So all you people in those areas can NOW buy
your tickets.
TOM LOEFFLER
.. has certainly made an impression on many
people In this area with his work in Congress, and
on Sunday, July 27, we will all have an
opportunity to say ‘thanks” to him.
The event will be held at the Hondo City Park
from 4 to 6 p.m. on that date and everyone is
invited.
ANDREW' ECKHART
brought me in a letter-to-the-editor printed
in an area daily paper and he was quite upset with
the information it contained.
I dont really blame him.
The letter states that foreigners who enter this
country legally and are over 65 can sign up after
30 days for a lifetime government pension and
free medical care.
This is without having contributed one dime to
Sodal Security.
The real upsetting part of the letter was the
information that many of these people have
returned to their native lands and are still
drawing U.S. pension checks.
Andrew feels this is unfair to people in our
country who in many cases have to fight for their
Social Security checks even though they have
paid in all their lives.
I agree with him and wish that hundreds of our
readers, if they agree, would clip this column and
send it to Senator John Tower, Senator Lloyd
Bentsen, Congressman Tom Loeffler and Con-
gressman Abraham Kazen.

Representatives to meet with Equalization Board
f A11 rf imx ^ J .. t: 1:6.. ___
Oil, gas and utility repre-
sentatives interested in
meeting the Hondo Inde-
pendent School District
Board of Equalization on
July 21 should make an
appointment.
Verlie Nietenhoefer,
school district tax assessor-
collector, said, ‘it will make
everything run smoother
and waste less time of the
representatives if they will
call and make an appoint-
ment.”
This meeting does not
include property owners for
housing and real property,
according to Mrs. Nietenhoe-
fer. ‘The Board will meet on
those areas at a later date,”,
she said. “And we will
announce the date in lime
for people to be present."
Mrs. Nietenhoefer also
said that the representatives
need not talk to the board
about the windfall profits
tax. ‘That has nothing to do
with ad valorem taxes, and it
would be a waste of time to
try to discuss it at this
meeting.”

Somewhere in Medina

that would make a good site

for a permanent site for the
County Fair and can be
located anywhere in Medina
County.
Property owners who
might show interest in the
request can reply by mail to:
Medina County Fair Associ-
ation, P. O. Box 4, Hondo,
Texas 78861.
Or they might talk to any
member of the Master Plan-
ning Committee. These
members include: Burnis
Lawrence, Eddie Holland,
Jim Gerber, Ramon Cortez,
aU of Hondo; Robert Brown
Jr. and Wayne Barber,
Devine; Gene Suehs and
Maurice Pettibon, Castro-
ville; and Sue Coates of Rio

A Medina County Jail
inmate escaped Saturday
night by jumping through a
window at the rear of the
jail, but was apprehended 30
minutes later by Medina
County Sheriff’s officers and
Hondo police.
William Green, 30. of
Miami, Florida, was being
held by Castroville police for
Del Rio authorities on burg
lary and auto theft charges
before being taken to the
Medina County jail.
Sheriff authorities said
Green was arrested by Cas-
' troville-police July 10, but
escaped from them also.
Green was taken from his
cell Saturday evening to the
magistrate and was allowed
to make a telephone call
when he escaped.
He sustained a severe arm
laceration when jumping
through the window and lost
a large quantity of blood,
before being recaptured
near Tony’s Bar in Hondo.
Green is currently re-
