LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Reader wants citizens
to call Groce for dirt
Dear Editor,
A few weeks ago, I sent you an
.“.open letter” for Lee Groce, County
Commissioner, protesting the
practices concerning receipt of
ditch dirt”.
I had observed that receipt of the
dirt seemed limited to those who
were home during the day and thus
had the opportunity to request dirt
from the drivers.
Since then, I have been able to
speak to Lee Groce personally. He
was responsive to my concerns and
took steps to correct the immediate
problem.
I still feel that the public should be
notified where they intend to work so
that appropriate plans can be made.
Perhaps a brief note in the paper
would do.
As instructed, I have made sure
my name is on the official list. I
would suggest everyone who is
concerned about receiving dirt call
592-1172 to make sure they don’t
have the same problems that I did.
Thank You,
Patricia D. Lippold
Family thanks friends
Dear Editor,
We would like to thank everyone
from the Rural Shade Church who
brought food to our home. We would
also like to thank Rev. Jim Crocker
of Oak Shade Church who officiated
the graveside services.
A very special thanks to Bill
Douglas of Pace-Stancil Funeral
Home who took the extra step to help
our Family at this time.

my district and used by constituents.
Local and autonomous boards of
trustees operate the community
MHMR centers; performance is
monitored through the use of con-
tracts between the department and
each center. The contracts must
contain a detailed description of
services expected to be provided and
centers must be supported by
specified minimum level of local
funding.
The MHMR community centers
provide an array of servicoselose to
home: diagnosis and evaluation,
referral, outpatient services, in-
patient services, day activities,
emergency services, training,
consultation, workshops and
supervised living arrangements.
These services help avoid un-
necessary admissions to residential
facilities and aid discharged clients
in the readjustment to community
life.
It is interesting to note that
community centers cover ap-
proximately 75% of the state’s
population with the remaining 25%
covered by the hospitals and
schools.
Other programs provided are
services for persons; with autism
(by contract), Hepatitis B.
screening and vaccination, genetic
screening an counseling through a
network of 23 -regional clinics, and
the Leander resident^ of the
agency’s facilities and the eon^
munity centers.
The dense urban areas of Houston
and Fort Worth have the Harris
COunty Psychiatric Center and the
Fort Worth County Psychiatric
Hospital. We can conclude by saying
that the TDMHMR is vast network
of facilities, services, and affiliated
programs.

request referrals, please write

AT&T ANNOUNCES UPCOMING PRICE CHANGES
FOR SOME TEXAS INTRASTATE SERVICES
AT&T announces the following price changes for
some of its Texas intrastate services. These changes,
which more closely reflect the actual costs incurred by
AT&T in providing these services, will become effective
on August 1, 1988.
• SDN (Software Defined Network) Schedule A prices-
will be reduced 1.5% during the initial 30-second period.
Schedule B prices will be reduced 16.4% overall.
Schedule C prices will be reduced 4.2% overall.
• WATS 80 service prices for both the initial 80-hour
usage period and the additional usage period will in-
crease 5%.
• The monthly prices for some of AT&T’s Analog
Channel Services will increase between $7.05 and $25
per channel termination for Analog services.
• The monthly prices for some Dataphone Digital Ser-
vice (DDS) will decrease up to $9.65. Other DDS monthly
prices will increase up to $18.35. Overall, AT&T’s DDS
monthly prices will increase less than 1%.
The combined effect of these price changes is ex-
pected to produce approximately $3.4 million in annual
revenue, which is approximately 0.3% of AT&T’s annual
revenue for all Texas intrastate services.

please call your AT&T Account Executive, or our busi-
ness consultants toll-free at 1-800-222-0400. AT&T’s
