1963 Visitors Top
Past At Ratcliff Lake
Lufkin.— Out-of-state visitors,
along with Texas Tourists, are
making 1963 the biggest year yet
at Ratcliff Lake Recreation Area
in the Davy Crockett National
Forest.
Visitors representing six foreign
countries, from far as India, Ven-
ezuela. Germany, Uruguay, Mex-
ico and the Virgin Islands, reg-
istered at the area during the
month of June.
People from % states other
than Texas, including Alaska,
Hawaii. Maine and Florida, also
used Ratcliff Lake last month.
More than 40.000 people visited
the Lake in June, almost twice as
many as in June of 1962.
New additional facilities, re-
cently installed by the U. S. For-
est Service, have helped accom-
modate the rush of swimmers,
picnickers, campers and fisher-
men. Bird watchers, Texas Aggie
students, trailer caravans, Boy
Scouts and trail riders, have also
taken advantage of the recent ex-
pansion.
Forty - five picnicking and
camping units have been added
since last season. Also two miles
of hiking trails, paved road spurs
in the trailer park, a new water
system with drinking fountains,
and additional sanitary facilities
have been added.
Concessionaire Emmett Roach
operates the bathhouse and con-
cession stand, which offers soft
drinks, candy and souvenirs.
Ratcliff Lake is located 25
miles west of Lufkin on Highway
7.
District Ranger Ed Grushinslci
of Crockett and his assistants
welcome all to Ratcliff Lake, re-
questing only that visitors do not
vandalize the Improvements, but
leave them in good condition for
everyone to enjoy.
70 Mph. Speed On
Most Texas Hi-Ways
Effective August 23
Austin.— More than two-thirds
of the Texas highway system will
come under the new 70-miles-
per-hour daytime speed for pas-
senger cars which becomes ef-
fective August 23, the Texas
Highway Commission has an-
nounced.
Under the speed control law
passed by the Legislature this
spring, all highways not zoned
down by the Commission will au-
tomatically go to the new 70-mph
speed August 23. This means that
some 41.500 miles of the state-
maintained highway system will
be allowed to come under the
higher maximum speed.
The Commission has passed a
Minute Order which zoned some
18.640 miles of the highway sys-
tem at a maximum of 60 miles
per hour daytime and 5*5 miles
per hour at night for passenger
cars, effective August 23. These
highways will be restricted to the
lower speed limit because engi-
neering studies indicate they are
inadequate to accommodate a
70-miles-per-hour maximum.
The Commission's action fol-
lowed a series of engineering
traffic studies conducted through-
out the state by the Highway De-
partment's 25 highway districts.
A large percentage of Texas'
vast Farm to Market Road System
will come under the 70-mph
maximum, although some of these
roads (and some of the older pri-
mary routes) will be restricted to
the lower 60-mph maximum
where conditions warrant.

Reserved Seat System
!n Effect For SFA
Commencement
Nacogdoches.— A reserved seat
system will be put into effect at
Stephen F. Austin State College
with the August 15 Summer
Commencement Exercises.
College officials said it became
necessary to placeseating ar-
rangements on a reserved seat
basis at commencement exer-
cises, because of continuing
overflow attendance.
The new seating arrangement,
however, applies only to candi-
dates for degrees, their relatives
and friends, and members of the
college faculty and staff.
"Each candidate for a degree
has been forwarded information
concerning these arrangements,"
Dr. J. N. Gerber, dean of the col-
lege and graduate school, ex-
plained. "Reservation requests
from each candidate will be lim-
ited to a maximum of four. The
candidates will receive their
reservation during rehearsal for
commencement at 10 a. m. Aug.
15.
Dr. Gerber added that all re-
quests from degree candidates
must be returned by August 13.
He pointed out that advance
reservations from degree candi-
dates will guarantee seats for
their relatives and friends. Facul-
ty members, who do not march in
the academic procession, and
members of the staff, also must
make reservations in order to be
assurred of a seat.
"Because of the size of the
graduating class—more than 300
—and the size of the auditorium
we are having to inaugurate a
seat reservation system." Dr.
Gerber continued.
Summer Commencement Exer-
cises will be held in the Griffith
Fine Arts Auditorium, beginning
at 8 p. m. on August 15.

Sample Soil Now
For Fall Planting
Now is the time to have your
soil tested in preparation for fall
planting, says William F. Ben-
nett, soil chemist with the Tex-
as Agricultural Extension Serv-
ice.
Early soil sampling is encour-
aged by the chemist to avoid the
fall rush that crowds the state's
three testing laboratories. Sam-
ples being received now are
mostly from pastures, fall-
seeded crops and lawn or flower
beds, h;e says.
The number of samples re-
ceived during May and June was
about norma! for this period at
all three *abs. In May 839 sam-
ples were tested and 495 were
examined in June.
The A&M College lab led in
the number of samples received,
with the High Plains lab second
and the Baylor County facility
handling the lowest number.
Harris County topped the list of
those submitting samples with
53, while Henderson County had
42 and Hale County submitted 27
sampies.
Bennett reminds that establish-
ed legume pastures are among
the crops that will need fertiliza-
tion this fall An increasing num-
ber of acres are being seeded to
vetch. Crimson and White clover
and since fertility needs of these
crops vary, soil samples should
be taken, he says.
One element of special im-
portance to East Texas and Coast
Prairie farmers is lime, points
out Bennett. He savs that three-
fourths of the East Texas soils
and one-half of the eastern Coast
Prairie soils need line, and it
should soon be applied to them
for fall plantings.
For more information about
soil testing and for instructions
on the method of taking and sub-
mitting soil samples, contact your
county agricultural agent.
Amarillo Doctor
Sentenced To Serve
Six Months In Jail
An Amariiio doctor has been
sentenced to serve six months in
jail. On July 31, Federal Judgql
Joe Dooley at Amarillo sentenced
Dr. Harvey K. Jackson to 13
months in jail, with six months
to serve and one year suspended
sentence. He placed Dr. Jackson
on probation for two years and
fined him $500.00.
On August 24, 1962, Dr. Jack-
son took his gun and placed three
Internal Revenue Officers under
"citizen's arrest" when they called
at his office to collect two delin-
quent tax accounts.
Dr. Jackson was indicted by
a Federal Grand Jury in Lubbock,
Texas on May 13, 1963, and was
found guilty after a two-day
trial, on June 28, 1963.
The Doctor has appealed his
sentence and has been reieased
under $2,000 bond.
Shrimp Is A
Favorite Seafood
i
A Note Of Thanks
Words are inadequate to express
our appreciation to the many
.people who were so kind to us
during the illness and passing of
our Husband and Father. If wq
have failed to express to you out*
appreciation personally, woult^
you please accept this as an ex-
pression of our heartfelt thanks.
! The Family of Sidney Reed. lOp
East Texans delight in return-
ing from the coast with shrimp
packed in plastic bags and ice
chests. How to cook them poses
a problem that we may well
solve right here. Cut out this clip
and paste in your recipe book.
210,000,000 pounds of shrimp
was eaten in America last year,
and 54% was frozen. The Chinese
call shrimp "har"; in Spanish it is
camarones; in French, crevettes;
'in German, gameelen. To the
average Texan it simply means
another form of cocktail.
Cook your shrimp in the shells
if you wish. If you leave the sand
vein in the body while cooking,
the meat will retain the smooth,
pink look. If looks are important,
leave in the vein and removo after
cooking. If you want to shell the
shrimp, boil the shells in water for
five minutes, then cook shrimp in
the same water,
To boil, cover with quart of
boiling water for each pound of
shrimp. To each quart of water
put in one teaspoon salt. Add a
few lemon slices and o<ne teaspoon,
pickling spices if desired. Bring
liquid to boil for 2 to 5 minutes.
Do not overcook.
For 6 shrimp cocktails, use one
pound cooked shrimp. Combine
1 cup mayonnaise, % cup sour
cream, % cup catsup, 1 tbsp. lem-
on juice, salt to taste. Season with
chives, dilt or garlic. Add diced
ripe avacado or minced celery or
green pepper. Serve in lettuce-
lined cocktail glasses.
The Game & Fish Commission
in Tyler can send you recipes for
preparing shrimp dishes such as
Shrimp and spaghetti, shrimp
bisque, cheese-fried shrimp and
many others.
Jumbo shrimp run 15 or less to
the pound, and small shrimp
average about 40 to the pound.
Except in coastal markets, the
shrimp you buy arc just the tails.
Freezing does not destroy the
food value, and they are high in
protein, minerals and vitamin B
complex. % lb shrimp has only
120 calories.
