PIE IN THE SKY
Cherokee County hssn*t been
as lucky as parts of East
Texas moisture wise; but we
started the New Year off just
right by getting some good
general rains of 2 to 3 In-
ches over most of the Coun-
ty. This pretty well satura-
ted the top soil for the time,
but we need a lot more rain
before the winter is over
to soak down to give the sub-
soil moisture that is needed.
The long dry summer last
year dried things out pretty
deep. We also need addit-
ional rains that will cause
some run off to fill stock
water ponds in some places.

become the thing to devote
high priority to. However,
it's something that Soil and
Water Conservation Districts
have been working on for quite
a few years. A statement
from our 29 year old Chero-
kee County Soil and Water
Conservation Districts annual
report released in December
of 1971 says, "Its purpose
was and is to encourage land
owners to plan a conservation
program to use every acre of
land according to its cap-
abilities and treat it ac-
cording to its needs. This
will in effect increase the
productivity of the soil, pre-
vent erosion, conserve water,
and purify air."
Another statement in the re-
port points out that "in the
beginning it was generally
thought this program was just
for farmers..our 'city cous-
ins' now realize their well
being depends on the soil,
water, and air and are ac-
cepting a responsible role
in conserving and restoring
these indispensable resour-
ces."
The District reports 513,
867 acres of land in Chero-
kee County properly used to
prevent erosion that would
contaminate county and State
waterways.
Current District directors
that administer the District's
business are Allen Goforth,
Chairman; A.L. Looney, Fos-
ter Brewer, Grady C. Sin-
gletary and Cecil Good-
man.

Bob Murdock, Executive
Director of the East Texas
Agricultural Council, tells me
that they are expecting the
East Texas Banker's Agricul-
tural Conference to be one of
the best ever. The confer-
ence will be at Tyler Junior
College's Wise Auditorium
Friday, January 7. Registra,
tion and coffee will start at
8;30 a.m. and the program will
be over at 2 p.m.
Bob says the program this
year will appeal especially to
beef cattle men. Outstanding
speakers in the field of pro-
duction, financing, marketing
and education are scheduled
for the program. It's a good
place for you as a pro-
ducer to get some of the
latest "poop" from people
that are in the "know".

Homework of all kinds is much
easier in a Gold Medallion
home. For one thing, if you have
year 'round electric heating
and air conditioning, there's far
less routine clean-up home-
work — because electricity is
so clean! Appliances in today's
all-electric kitchen will auto-
matically cook and clean —
and the all-electric laundry will
wash and properly dry every-
thing in the hamper! And for less
than you may think, because
of the low cost of electricity
from SESCO.

birthday of Lion Bob Persons
last Thursday-a very happy
occasion.
Lion Dr. Jerry Landrum
presented the program with a
film entitled "Out of Shad-
ows". This concerned the
entering of a mental hospital
of a person, his withdrawals
and a bit of an electric shock
treatment. This is not a cure
all, but just gets rid of a
lot of memories for the time
being- the things that are
causing them the most tro-
uble. Gives them a chance
to get their mind on other
things for a while. Then they
work with these people, get-
ting them to use their hands.
This again gets their minds
off of the things that are
i-ausing them so much trouble.
Of course we know that men-
tal illness can strike any one
of us. Some start complain-
ing about the food they eat,
never enough, never the right
kind, etc. Then accusing the
wife of turning the children
against him; refusing to shave
and other things. This mental
illness is the number one
problem in the United States
today. The State Hospitals
are here to create the right
atmosphere for their pat-
ients; to care for their phys-
ical needs as well as their
mental needs. The entire
staff gets together and
works out the treatment for
a particular patient, then
many times within sev-
en months the person
is back home. It may not
be all smooth sailing for him
but at least he is better eq-
uipped to understand himself.
Out of the shadows into the
light of understanding. Lion
Jerry did an excellent job as
program chairman for the
month of December.
One five-year old grand-
son had one line in a kinder-
garten Christmas playlet, ap.

sals our lad asked his moth,

explained tidings were news.
Came the performance and the
little angel became flustered.
After a long embarrassing
silence, he blurted out, "Hey,

New Charge To Be Made On Late Tax
Mrs. Linda Beard, Tax As-
sessor-Collector of Cherokee
County, urges taxpayers to
pay their taxes during the
month of January to avoid a
penalty to be assessed.
According to Mrs. Beard
the Legislature of Texas has
passed a bill which notes a
(1,00 penalty on ad valorem
taxes not paid during the
month of January. Monies
collected from this process
will be used to fund a com-
mittee to study delinquent
taxes in the State of Texas.
This penalty will begin with
the 1971 taxes not paid before
February 1. 1972.
The penalty will be charged
In Cherokee County as fol-
lows; $1.00 for one through
eight rerapits; $2,00, for nine
through sixteen receipts; and
$1.00 for each additional eight
receipts.
Mrs. Beard urges taxpayers
to pay their taxes during Jan.
uary so the charge will not be
made,

OUR ENVIRONMENT
The time has come for the nation to consider "economic
reality" in dealing; with environmental problems.
The 180-page Sen. Muskie (D.-Me.) bill to attain zero
pollution, which was passed overwhemingly by the Senate,
should he rejected by the House. The proposed law calls
for a flat han on discharges into rivers and lakes whether
or not they actually degrade the receiving waters. This is
neither logical nor practical.
It is not logical because almost all communities would
become lawbreakers. Secretary of Commerce Stans has
said, "Witness the fact that hundreds, perhaps thousands
of American communities pour millions of tons of un-
treated sewage into the waters every day. By contrast,
almost across the board, American industries have
launched vastly complex efforts to help clean up the air,
water and landscape of the country."
The present legislation is not practical because the cost
of attaining zero pollution would be astronomical and
divert billions of dollars from worthy objectives such as
schools and better housing.
Russell Train, Chairman of the President's Council on
Environmental Quality, has estimated the cost by 1981 to
be S94.5 billion but was accused of "intimidation" for
saying so.
It is doubtful that the nation needs 180 pages of new
law on any subject, but legislation which completely
ignores the social and economic costs to be borne by the
American people is clearly undesirable. Realistic practical
progress in pollution control can be achieved by carrying
out programs based on a balanced consideration of both
a better environment and other desirable objectives.

Get Behind This Man...
our lindo, My Uncle - Li ride Sain as a personification of the United
States was born during the War of I HI 2. Perhaps lie came into bring
because lie was needed to symbolize the greater maturity <>f the still
young. but rapidly growing nation. He derived from an actual person,
a man who lived through those troublous times, meat packer Samuel Wilson of
Troy , New York.
Uncle Sam remained a largely oral tradition, with occasional references in
print, until the era of the Civil W ar. During that period, political cartoons were
becoming popular and cartoonists began drawing him as an Abraham Lincoln
type.
Uncle Sam is above all a human being. Freedom is his philosophy, and all the
wordy dialecticians of the left and right will never sway him from this, the
central core of his being.
As the living symbol of individual freedom, I nele Sam demonstrates an
adaptability and a fertility of resource which augur well for him and his
principles in the space age. Let's get behind this man!
