AUSTIN, Tex.—December 31
is the deadline for owners of
advertising signs along major
Interstate, U. S. and state-
numbered highways to apply
for permits under the new Tex-
as Highway Beautification Act.
The act is designed to con-
trol all outdoor advertising
from big billboards to fence
signs along the right-of-way
line.
It requires that no sign can
be erected within 660 feet of
an interstate or federal-aid pri-
mary highway without a special
$25 outdoor advertising license.
An additional $5 permit is also
required for each sign.
On-premlse signs--those ad-
vertising activities on the land
or offering the property for
sale—are exempt.
The law, passed and made
effective last June 29 to avof
loss of federal road-build:
aid, will be implemented
stages.
License applications, fi
stage in the process, must be
accompanied by a $2,500 bond
for each county In which signs
are located up to a $10,000 max-
imum for owners with signs in
more than three counties.
Permits will be issued for
signs In place prior to June
29 whether they conform to the
law or not, and these will be
allowed to stay In place until
programmed for acquisition or
removal. New signs must con-
form to the law before permits
are issued.
The Highway Department also
has begun removal of abandoned
and illegal signs on controlled
highways.
Those planning to erect new
signs on controlled highways
are advised to check with
Highway Department district
offices to determine if the locat-
ion conforms to the law. Prop-
erty owners have also been ad-
vised to contact the depart-
ment’s district offices concern-
ing signs located on their land
without permission.
LEGISLATORS BRIEFED --
State legislators received
briefings last week on three
major issues to confront them
in January.
A pre-session legislative
conference at the Lyndon B.
Johnson School of Public Af-
fairs of the University System
here provided details on:
--Need for Judicial reorgan-
isation. The court system was
termed a hodgepodge of indep-
endent operations with "nobody
minding the whole store.’’
—Federal revenue sharing
and its impact on state and local
finance. Legislators were ad-
vised Congress and taxpayers
will be lookingover their shoul-
ders to see that new federal
windfalls are wisely spent.
—Property taxation and
school finance. Major over-
hauls in the system of financ-
ing public education and in prop-
erty tax administration are
needed, tax authorities said.
AG OPINIONS—A recent
opinion by Atty. Gen. Crawford
Martin warned that closed
meetings of governmental agen-
cies with attorneys and staffs
can be held only for limited
purposes.
Martin’s opinion, requested
by Beaumont Criminal District
Attorney Tom Hanna, said agen-
cies can meet privately with
attorneys only to discuss pend-
ing or contemplated litigation.
It concluded the agencies can
meet with staff members only
to discuss matters of internal
administration. Martin deliv-
ered a detailed interpretation
of the state open meetings law
In response to Hannna, who
inquired whether county com-
missioners can meet in private
to discuss legal matters with
their attorney.

Fort Worth Man |
Drowns When Boat
Capsizes in Channel
A last-minute effort to save
his father was in vain Monday
afternoon when Jim Edward
Adle grabbed hold of his father,
James Adle, 66, both of Fort
Worth, Just as they reached
the south Jetty rocks in the
Corpus Christ! ship channel
near Port Aransas.
A spokesman for the U. S.
Coast Guard at Port Aransas
said the two men had been in
the younger man’s sailboat and
were between the Jetties in the
channel just outside Port Aran-
sas when the sailboat over-
turned.
Justice of the Peace Martin
Haskett of Aransas Pass, said
die mishap occurred about 3:30
p.m. Monday. He said the two
men clung to the bottom of the
boat and the sailboat soon drift-
ed near the south Jetty. Both
men then began swimming to-
ward the Jetty. Young Adle
reached the slippery rocks first
and when he saw his father
could not climb upon the rocks,
he grabbed his father "for just
a second then a strong wave
washed the elder Adle away ”
A 40-foot Coast Guard vessel
was dispatched Immediately and
recovered the older man’s body
from the channel. The spokes-
man said the younger man walk-
ed down the jetty until he was
picked up by a helicopter from
Corpus Christ!.
Judge Haskett ruled accident-
al drowning in the Fort Worth
man's death. Funeral services
were pending under the direct-
ion of Shannon’s Funeral Chap-
els of Fort Worth. Marshall
Funeral Home of Aransas Pass
was in charge of local arrange-
ments.
A BELATED CARD OF THANKS
To you the wonderful people
of Aransas Pass, I say thanks
for the many kind deeds and
the many words of encourage-
ment you gave through your
prayers, cards, flowers and
visits during my long illness.
A special thanks to Bro. Glenn
McCollum for his faithful visits
and prayers, and for his pres-
ence each time I had surgery.
God need’s more men like him.
May God bless each of you and
I praise God every day for an-
swering prayers. I am a liv-
ing proof that he does.

We are happy to announce
that we have handed out our
3,401 library card. The sad
part about this is that there
are thousands more in our com-
munity who have the right to use
the library and don’t. In this
world of high prices and high
taxes, wouldn’t It be nice to
get something really free? If
you don’t want a card, you are
still welcome to come in and
look around. You could change
your mind and if you don’t find
what you’re looking for, Just
ask Joy, James or Mark.

The Quantity of a Hazel Nut
—by Fae Malania
In this small, unsentimental,
sometimes funny book, the
author looks at the ordinary
and commonplace and sees be-
yond to the splendor and heart
of all things. The author tries
to make the reader aware of
the many beautiful things that
surround us every day. The
glory of a sunset, the beauty
in a cloud formation, or the
sound of leaves scurrying be-
fore the wind on a brisk aut-
umn day. Don’t Just look to
the mountains for beauty and
majesty, look down at your
feet sometime. "The world
is charged with the grandeur
of God.”
