This fellow from Kountze,
Mack Richardson, went off lip to
Austin with John Blair and Chuck
Newsom and made a "presenta-
tion” to die Texas Water Com-
mission. This step was taken to
get a study under way to deter-
mine if a Dam on Village Creek
is a good idea. This step needs
to be made so the project can se-
cure the approval of the Water
Commission in preparation to set-
ting up a water district for this
water shed.
BUZZ SAW is glad Mack took
this step although we were not in
on it. He has atleast gotten the
idea out of the talking stage and
allowed us to get into the engin-
eering stage. Also when the con-
crete plans are made and presen-
ted, we can then begin to consi-
der whether the benefits will be
such as to warrant the price.
We understand that L. V. Nor-
ris of Beaumont will make the
study. And that’s good, too>be-
cause he’s had experience at this
sort of thing. Let us hope that his
connections to the LNVA and the
SamRayburnand B Dams will not
prejudice him against our Dam.
We can tell Mr. Norris that some
sort of Dam on Village Creek is
feasible. The only question in oui
mind is whether a high Dam would
be justified. We believe he will
determine that it is if a market is
found for the water.
For right now, the Cities of.
Kountze and Silsbee have adequa -
te water supplies. But that is onl)
for right now. ‘If this area exper-
iences the growth that the Junior
College Survey indicates, then
we will have a ready market for
all the water we can sen. ana
this does not include the water we
can sell in the Golden Triangle
Area.
Anyway, and we might as we-
ll face it, this kind of a project
comes slowly and we will likely
need the water, and the Junior
College, for that matter, long be
fore they materialize.
BUZZ SAW has taken quite a
kidding over the fact that Rich-
ardson (no kin, by the way to
the Judge of the same name) made
the move first. We take it good-
naturedly because we long ago
learned that all good things do
not originate in this column. We
are willing to join a good move.-
ment as well as lead one.
Besides, we do not have the

VILLAGE CHEEK
Dear editarj
After spending nearly two
weeks watching both national
political conventions this sum-
mer, a friend of mine said he’d
been studying the problems care-
fully and the way to elimlt&te
all the argument and trouble over
seating delegates and trying to
write a platform that’ll please
the conservatives, the moder-
ates, and the liberals is to oper-
ate three parties.
This has some merit, since
to a conservative a moderate is
a liberal and' to a liberal a
moderate is a conservative and
to a moderate both ends are
wrong, but it won’t work.
It wouldn’t make a good tele-
vision show.
You get a convention hall full
of people who all think alike and
agree on everything, and there’d
be nothing left for them to do
but listen to the speeches, and
anybody knows half the delegates
can’t bring themselves to listen
half the time.
Television has long since dis-
covered that keeping its cameras
on the speaker’s stand is the best
way to lose its ratings, and the
only /way to keep things lively
is to send its reporters around
the hall with portable gear to get
in on the squabbles, and if they
can’t find one, stir up something
anyway.
I tell you, a football game where
the spectators spent most of their
time running up and down the
aisles arguing over the eligibility
of £ third-string tackle and spec-
ulating on who the coach' was
going to send in next at quarter-
back, wouldn’t last long as a
national sport.
Actually, to make the best
television show, two parties are
enough and they both ought to
hold their conventions at the
same time in the same hall.
Turn them loose and let the
cameras grind. Things would get
to popping then.
Yours faithfully,
J. A,
KOUNTZE
