Textbook fuss continues
By LEE JONES
1. Associated Press Writer
V AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -
Textbook critic Norma Gabler
said Wednesday publishers
give too much room to
organizations such as National
Organization tor Women and
not enough to “pro-family”
groups.
“It appears that every
minute group of activists rate
space in textbooks, but the
great majority is always
cheated,” Mrs. Gabler told the
State Textbook Committee.
Specifically, she protested a
high school sociology book,
“Understanding Society,”
offered for adoption by
Prentice-Hall.
Mrs. Gabler complained of a
picture showing N.O.W. ac-
tivists and said many well-
known women oppose causes
supported by N.O.W., such as
the Equal Rights Amendment.
“Proof of the effectiveness of
pro-family ladies is evidenced
by the fact that states have quit
ratifying the E.R.A. since
legislators have realized the
views of the great silent moral
majority,” she told the com-
mittee.
Mrs. Gabler and a paid
researcher for her non-profit
textbook analysis corporation,
Sheila Haralson of Kilgore,
waved the phonics flag in
criticizing readers proposed for
adoption.
A committee member asked
why, if phonics is the best way
to teach reading, “learned
societies” such as the In-
ternational Reading
Association don’t endorse it.
“Once a mode of instruction
is established and supported by
an organization, I can see why
they would be conservative and
slow to change,” said Mrs.
Haralson.
Publishers’ responses were
typified by Macmillan’s, which
said children must learn to
read through a combination of

methods, including phonics.
Macmillan said limiting
reading exercises in the early
years to words that are
“phonetically regular” is a
“disservice” to children.
Children must learn from the
context of a sentence which one
of several possible pronun-
ciations and meanings a word
might have, the publishers
said.
Mrs. Haralson also protested
content of some stories in the
readers, including the Rand
McNally Reading Program for
grades 1-4. She said it was
“insulting to America and its
form of government” for a
character to say in an 8th grade
selection, “Our society doesn’t
take care of old people. They do
in Denmark. ... Our govern-
ment should take more
responsibility.”
Twiss Butler of Nassau Bay,
leader of N.O.W.’s textbook
critics, said in an interview she
finds publishers are improving
in their treatment of women in
schoolbooks.
“I think they are making
progress. There is no question
about it. There are some series
(of books) we are not even
commenting on,” she said.
The 15-member textbook
committee will make its
recommendations in Sep-
tember, and the State Board of
Education will decide in
November which books to
adopt for the subjects under
consideration this year.
the milk pail
By RONALD C. WOOLLEY
County Extension Agents
If the dry hot weather has not
dealt forage producers enough
misery, now an Influx of ar-
my-worms are invading coastal
and sudan fields. Reports from
producers all over the county
indicate they are inflicting
damaging effects which in-
cidentally are approximately
three weeks ahead of their
normal cycle.
Armyworms, when found at
the rate of 5 to 10 worms per
square foot, will cause com-
plete defoliation. Early
detection is of utmost im-
portance, since worms can do
considerable damage in 12 to 24
hours.
Control on meadows and
pastures can be obtained by
using Sevin (80 percent) or
Dylox 4E. Either chemical may
be used without restrictions
pertaining to milk cows if used
according to label instructions.
Rates for Sevin 80WP are 1Y«
lbs. active ingredient per acre
and Dylox 4E at two-thirds to 1
pint per acre.
Incidentally, I predict that
higher than normal populations
of armyworms will plague
meadows and pastures, plus
the small grains which will be
coming into production soon.
Be alert and check fields
periodically.
Cattle Rustling
Are your cattle branded? The
branding of cattle is the best
deterrent toward decreasing
cattle thefts according to Slim
Hulen, field inspector of the
Texas and Southwestern Cattle
Raisers Association. Helen
spoke to the Hopkins County Ag
Workers' Association and
emphasized that cattle that are
not branded are much more
difficult to find than clearly
branded cattle.
Since several cattle thefts
have been reported in Hopkins
County, Hulen urged all
producers to keep close watch
on all cattle, especially cattle
that may be located away from
farm headquarters. Also, to
report to authorities any
suspicious cars or happenings
around pastures or corrals.
“Producers must work
together by observing their
operations and their neighbors’
operations if cattle, horses or/
farm equipment thefts are to be
curtailed,” Hulen explained.
Incidentally, producers
wishing to register a brand
must do so in the County
Clerk’s office of the county the
cattle are located in. Also,
brands must be re-registered
every ten years according to
current state laws.
Anaplaimotis Concern
Anaplamosis is costing
Hopkins County producers a
tremendous amount of money
through loss of animals,
reduced meat and milk
production, ajid labor con-
nected with treatments and
prevention of the disease. It is
an infectious disease
characterized by fever,
anemia, weakness, con-
stipation, yellow of mucous
membranes, lack of appetite,
depression, dehydration and
abortion or infertility. Un-
treated animals may die.
Animals that survive become
“carriers.”
A large variety of insects and
ticks may serve as traa-
smitting agents. Ticks, hone
and deer flies, horn Hiss and
mosquitoes are all capable of
transmission by carrying in-
fected blood from one aaknai la
another mechanically.
Anaplasmosis control
programs are complex. To
prevent losses, four approaches
are possible:
1) Control of the disease by
drugs (tetracycline).
2) Control based on blood
serum diagnosis and the
removal of reactor animals
(usually not feasible).
3) Control by vaccination (an
improved vaccine is now
available).
4) Control of vectors (nearly
impossible).
The choice of methods
depends largely on
management systems and
disease occurence. Contract
your veterinarian or the OoaMy
Extension office for more
details.

AUSTIN, Texas(AP) -
Jerome Chapman says he’s had
enough of the 60 to 80-hour
weeks and constant crises that
have been his lot for the past
three years as state com-
missioner of human resources.
Chapman, 55, announced
Wednesday he will retire Aug.
31 and, for a while at least, just
“prop my feet up and unwind.”
His decision,however, raised
questions that a legislator said
merits an investigation by
either the House Committee on
Human Services or the House
General Investigating Com-
mittee.
Last month, the State Board
of Human Resources decided to
reconsider its decision, based
on advice from Chapman’s
staff, to give the state’s $400
million Medicaid Contract to
Bradford National Corp. of New
York.
The board acted after
receiving protests from the
losing bidder, National
Heritage Insurance Co., which
is owned by Dallas electronics
millionaire H. Ross Perot.
Chapman said Perot himself
came to him after the decision
to grant the contract to Brad-
ford.
“Mr. Perot, in essence, said
to me he felt they (National
Heritage) were really the low
bidder since their money for the
first year was really less,” he
said.
Perot’s emissary complained
to the three-man board that
Chapman’s staff had done a
poor job of analyzing the two
bids.
Chapman was asked at his
news conference Wednesday
whether the Perot situation had
anything to do with his decision
to retire after 30 years with the
department.
“I honestly can’t say it
doesn’t have any effect on
it, he said, but later added,
“that is not my reason for
leaving.”
Rep. Luther Jones, D-El
Paso, said Chapman's
resignation prompted him to
ask Speaker Bill Clayton for an
investigation of the Medicaid
contract.
He said there were
questions ’’about - contacts
between Perot's company and
the board member as well as
“suggestions" of possible in-
volvement by the office of “one
high state official with close
contacts with the losing firm.”
“I believe the circumstances
as reported in the press raise
enough serious questions to
justify a thorough inquiry by
the Legislature,"Jones said.
Chapman said he decided
while on vacation in June be
wanted no more of the
“hassles" of being com-
missioner.
