quet Hall.
Mary Lou Bounds, local president,
expects 135 representatives from 38
clubs to participate in the day’s ac-
tivities.
The General Federation of
Woman’s Clulos is composed 10
million members world wide, with
over 500,000 membership in the
United States. During the last ad-
ministration the organization
reported that GFWC members con-
tributed over $55 million annually to
a wide variety of charities and
causes across America and record-
ed over 35 million volunteered hours.
Dr. Aliena K. Pace, the Magnolia
District President from Huntsville
says the GFWC has made a mark in
history for the past 98 years that
gives it the prestige of being the
largest and oldest non-
denominational, non-partisan, inter-
national service organization of
volunteer women in the world.
The purpose of the GFWC is to br-
ing into communication and to unite
women’s clubs for mutual benefit
and to promote their common in-
terest.
This is achieved by: providing
education advantages for members,
their children, community from
kindegarten to university and to all
fields of adult education;
transforming common concerns of
public interest into project and pro-
grams of action by volunteer club
women; stressing importance of
family unit; spiritual values, good
health for all, a strong consumer
awareness, and .program for the
elderly; help preserve our countries
resources; promoting studies and
participation in the ARTS and en-
courage young talent through
scholarships and awards; by
building and strengthening the
American home and through it mak-
ing realistic contribution toward

Steering Committee,” Bentsen said
in the announcement.
“I’m glad to have his support and
the active backing of the other
outstanding citizens of Liberty
County who have signed up to work
for my reelection this year,” the
Senator said.
“The committee represents a
broad cross section of Liberty
County, people from every walk of
life and all parts of the county. I
would hope membership will in-
crease in the months ahead as the
Bentsen organization in Liberty
County continues to gear up for the
November election.”
In addition to C. Scott Parker,
other members of the Liberty
County Campaign Steering Com-
mittee are: Malcolm J. Goudeau,

Cleveland timber tall ‘farm’ product
The Cleveland area is “tall” in
timber, making forest products one
of the state’s major agricultural
crops.
‘ ‘ Timber is consistently among the
top four agricultural crops in the
state,” said Dr. Michael
Walterscheidt, forestry specialist
with the Texas Agricultural Exten-
sion Service. “Only cotton con-
sistently exceeds the value of timber
as a crop on an annual basis. ”
Timber, valued at the point of
local delivery, totaled more than
$275- million in 1987, said the
specialist. This compares to only $40
million about 20 years ago.
In addition to the value of timber,
the wood products industry provides
a livelihood for many Texans.
According to Walterscheidt, Texas
is second among the southern states
in employment in wood-based
manufacturing, with almost 56,000
people^engaged in the industry. This
means that the wood-based industry
is the eighth largest employer
among manufacturing industries in
the state and is the first or second
largest employer in the majority of
the 43 East Texas counties.
Texas also is fourth in the South
and ninth nationally in value added
by manufacture in the wood-based
■ i
industry and is second in the South
and third in the nation in wood panel
production. - v
In addition, Texas is sixth in the
South and twelfth nationally in
lumber production and is fifth and
seventh, respectively, in pulpwood,
consumption, Walterscheidt said.
The timber industry will continue
to be big business in Texas, he said,
because most of the forested land is
privately owned and managed.
Reforestation is an ongoing process
as landowners look to the future,
which appears bright as the demand
for wood products should continue to
increase at a steady rate.

Social Security campaign to dispel myths
Social Security is taking aim at the
widespread public misconception
about the Social Security system
with a nationwide, multimedia
public information campaign, ac-
cording to Doris Lockey, Social
Security manager of Conroe.
“The campaign is designed to
educate the public about how the
Social Security program works, to
provide protection to workers of all
ages and their families now and in
the future. It is expected to help
dispel myths such as“ ‘Social
Security is just a retirement
program,’ and ‘Social Security is
going broke’,” Lockey said.
The theme of campaign is “Many
people know only half the story,”
and the underlying message is,
“Social Security...It Never Stops
Working.”
“We will be emphasizing three
basic messages to tell the whole
Social Security story,” she said.
“They are: Social Security is
financially stable into the
foreseeable future; Social Security
provides a package of protection
that includes retirement, disability,
and survivors insurance benefits:
and Social Security was never in-
tended to be the sole source of
retirement income. All workers
should plan for their own financial
future by supplementing their an-
ticipated Social Security benefits.
