AUSTIN—Politicians are wav-
ing their banners. Party leaders
seek to rally their cohorts. But
right now Texans are far more
concerned about water.
Farm and City dwellers alike
are hard hit. Years of drought
have added up. Sizzling summer
temperatures, unabated since the
last of May, have finished off
crop prospects for 1956 in many
areas.
Few expect relief before the
end of summer. Most despaired
some time ago of rains that
would “really break” the drought.
In Austin and elsewhere at-
tention focused on the often-bit-
ter scrambles for dwindling
streamflows. Prolonged and fre-
quently heated testimony has
been heard by the State Board
of Water Engineers on water
rights from the proposed Canyon
Dam in South Central Texas.
San Antonio sought permission
to take 100,000 acre feet of water
annually from the dam. It is the
only way, said San Antonio
officials, that the city can meet
its future water needs.
Guadalupe Blanco River Au-
thority strenuously opposed the
request. Joined by citizens of
some 20 small towns in the area
GBR A contended that the city
allocation would not leave
enough for down stream users,
nor enough to operate a hydro-
electric plant.
Testimony is expected to con-
tinue for several weeks. Ultimate
decision probably will set a
piecedent for future controver-
sies.
Fai ther South, the Rio Grande
reached its lowest point since it
stopped flowing completely in
1953. Falcon Dam was shut down,
and a watermaster was pointed to
ration the dwindling supply
among Valley cities.
Vary Summertime Menus With These Delicious Sandwiches
Legislators making up the state
BY DOROTHY MADDOX
piPING-HOT sandwiches right from the oven or back-
yard fire are wonderful for summer eating. Be sure
to take advantage of the many varieties of breads you find
at the bakery or supermarket—white, wholewheat, pro-
tein, rye, to mention only a few—and choose from the
interesting selection of rolls, too.
Make sandwiches ahead of time and wrap them, tightly in foil.
Then just before serving bake in the oven at 375 degrees F. about
15 minutes (just enough to heat them through).
If you have an outdoor fire going it’s fun to heat sandwiches
right over the coals. Use long tongs to keep from burning your
fingers.
Spicy Corned Beef Hash. Sandwich (4 sandwiches)
Three-quarters cup corned beef hash, 1 tablespoon catsup, 1
tablespoon pickle relish, 2 teaspoons minced onion, Vz teaspoon
prepared mustard, 4 slices cheese.
Combine corned beef hash with catsup, pickle relish, onion and
prepared mustard. Spread on buttered slices of enriched bread
or rolls; top wit1' chfeese.
Salami-Cheese In-The-Loaf
One loaf unsliced French, Italian or rye bread, sliced salami,
sliced Cheddar cheese, sliced onions.
Slash bread into diagonal slices almost through to the bottom
crust. Spread cut surfaces of bread with butter mixed with a
little mustard. Then insert slices of salami,, cheese and onion
between each slice.
Tangy Egg-Cheese Spread (fills 4 sandwiches)
One hard-cooked egg, chopped; % pound Cheddar cheese, grated;
1 tablespoon minced onion, 2 tablespoons cream, 1 tablespoon
prepared mustard, % teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.
Combine all ingredients and stir until well blended.
Swiss Chicken Sandwich
Four to 8 slices of chicken, 4 slices Swiss cheese, 3 tablespoons
picallili.
Arrange slices of chicken, Swiss cheese and picallili between

“Keep The Change"
If you’ve seen “Mac” Johnson
this week, chances are he’s told
you his waitress story. For those
who haven’t heard;
, “Mac” recently stopped at an
out-of-town diner. He ordered
the chef’s special-and his wait-
ress (brand new on the job) made
every possible mistake. She con-
fused the order, spilled the soup,
dropped the rolls, brought him a
wrong dessert.
Despite it all, “Mac” left a
substantial tip. But she smiled and
handed the money back. “Keep
it, Mister— you’ve sure earned
it more than I have,” she said.
From where I sit, that girl de-
serves credit for admitting her
shortcomings - something not
everyone is big enough to do. For
instance, I’m convinced lots of
folks know they’re wrong when
they deny me the right to a glass
of beer with my supper . . . just
because they happen to prefer
some other beverage. They
wouldn’t like me ordering them
to accept my choice.
Hot off the grille, prepared-in-advancc sandwiches are easy
to make, delicious to serve as ideal summertime fare.
slices of buttered, enriched bread or rolls to make 4 sandwiches.
Deviled Burger Sandwich
One-half pound ground beef chuck, 3 tablespoons chili sauce, %
teaspoon prepared mustard, % teaspoon horseradish, % teaspoon
Worcestershire sauce, % teaspoon salt, dash of pepper.
Cook beef chuck in skillet, breaking it up with a fork, until done.
Drain excess .fat. Stir in remaining ingredients. Spoon, between
buttered, enriched bread or hamburger buns to make 4 sandwiches.

time-high bid for mineral leases-
on state land was received by
the University of Texas when
Stanolind Oil Company bid a
bonus of $4,250,000 on 3,840 acres
of Pecos County lan. This was in
addition to royalty. Total bonus-
payments on Uni vein tty leases
at the June awards reached
$16,437,254.
He Can Talk
He bid high for the parrot, and
finally it was- knocked down, to
him. Paying over his; $50, he ask-
ed:
“Does this parrot talk?”
“Who do you think was bidding
against you?” the parrot inquired.
"Posiurlzed”
The question in the physiology
examination read: “How may
one obtain good posture?”
The country boy puzzled a mo-
ment, then wrote: “Keep the
cows off it and let it grow.”

RAYMONDVILLE CHRONICLE
CANE SEED
Dude's Feed & Seed
water resources committee came
out with an idea for the
future. They proposed a $100,000,-
000 Texas Water Development
Fund. Controversy over whether
to finance water conservation by
an ad-valorem or water-use tax
defeated the program last session.
This new approach of financ-
ing through bonds would by-pass
the difficulty, said proponents.
But it would take a long time.
First, legislative action; then a
constitutional amendment by the
people.
Meanwhile farmers are leaving
their parched fields and looking
for work in town to support their
families.
Labor unions active — Mem-
bers of Texas’ labor unions are
working hard to place Liberals
in control of state and party of-
fices. And a politically-confident
tone prevailed among some 1,000
delegates at the State Federation

Labor law decision pending —
Texas’ right-to-work law now
awaits state Supreme Court rul-
ing, possibly July 11.
Opponents and backers of the
law clashed sharply in final argu-
ments before the court. Union
attorneys declared that the Texas
case parallels a Nebraska suit in
which the U. S. Supreme Court
recently voided 1hat state’s! right-
to-work law in the railway
industry. Railroad attorneys ob-
jected strenuously. They declared
the Texas case presents much
broader issues.
Said Atty. Gen. John Ben
Shepperd, in behalf of the Texas
law, “The issue before this court
is the right of any Texas citizen
to work in his chosen occupation
without beiirfg- forced to give
allegiance to any organization
which might be against his
personal beliefs.”

New highway policy — An im-
portant new step in state policy
has been announced by the
Texas Highway Commission, for-
administering the new Federal
highway aid program.
If and when the state provides
it more money, the commission
will begin to assume part of the
heavy cost of right-of-way—now
borne wholly by cities and coun-
tries. This for highways of the
primary state system not includ-
ed in the new federal interstate
system.

Capitol area to be doubled —
Plans for vastly expanded, 25-
square-block Capitol area have
been unveiled by the State
Building Commission.

Short snorts — State recovery
of veterans land funds was in-
creased to $1,299,418 after an
Austin district court rendered a
judgment for $45,000 against J.
Paul Little of Crystal City. Little

Originally the commission had j $179,000. Two more are pend-
outlined plans for extending the j in§- • • • Texas’ share of federal
grounds northward two full” "
blocks to 15th street. This would
provide space for the new office
building and state courts build-
ing, due to be started sometime
‘next fall.
In adopting the official Capitol
master plan, the commission des-
ignated future Capitol area ail

pointed locations of two more
future office buildings.

Local option election voided —
A local option liquor election is
not legal if held in an area less
than an entire justice precinct.
By this ruling the Third Court
of Civil Appeals made “wet” a
large section of Austin which had
been “dry” for 21 years. It cast
doubts in similarly. hqid elections
over the state.
The decision is subject to re-
view by the Supreme Court.

Retail sales up again — By
early June Texas retail trade had.
bounced back from its spring
slump. But it failed to match the
1955 average. Sales rose 11 per-
cent from April to May. Durable
goods were up 13 per cent. But
for the year as a whole, they
are still substantially behind.
Reason given by analysts is
highway building funds will be
tripled by the new aid bill which
has just received final congres-
sional approval. . . . Gov. Allen
Shivers is urging the nation’s
governors to work for legislation
to prevent federal laws from
superseding state laws. . . Trial
of Francisco Saenz Jr., former
Duvai County treasurer, on fed-
eral income tax evasion charges
was postponed by the U. S. Court
