DOOR PRIZE DOOR - Mrs. Robert Ford was winner of
a door piize at the Texas Press Association Convention
in Arlington last week and it turned out to be this door.
The placard on the door reads: "Dear Door Prize Win-
ner. It' you will deliver this door intact to any T. P. A.
sponsored meeting scheduled prior to next summer's
convention you will be given two free registrations for
that meeting. T. P. A. Program Committee".
T. P. A. Door Prize
May Become
Traveling Door
When George Hawkes of Ar-
lington then program chairman
president of the Texas Press
Association presented Mrs.
Robert Ford with a door prize
of an old door at the associa-
tion's summer convention he
may have started something.
Mrs. Ford says the door is
going to one of the meetings of
the association before next sum-
mer where she will collect her
two fiee registrations and she
anticipates that the door will be
awarded to someone else at the
next summer convention.
"Who knows" she says "it
may travel all over the state in
the next few years and end up
as one of the prized doors in
the associations planned new
quarter million dollar home of-
fice building bearing the names
Plan. The money is to provide
emporary financing which will
be repaid by water users.
The objective of the Texas
Water Plan is to provide ade-
quate water to maintain the
growth and prosperity of Texas
into the next century when it
is estimated that the popula-
tion will be 30.5 million people.
The plan provides for the full
development of Texas water re-
sources and the importation of
surnlus water from the Miss-
issippi River.

Hauling the door abound and
delivering it intact is going to
create some headaches. It will
not fit into a passenger car.
Hawkes had to ship the door
here by freight and it will like-
ly go to the next meeting the
same way.
Prediction Says
34 To Die
Waco July 1 - "Just as this
Independence Day Holiday is
based on past history so is the

Hutchison Waco DPS Regional
Commander pointed out that
in compiling the present trend
in traffic accidents with the ex-
pected heavy holiday traffic

be shared by local state and
federal governments with
those who untimately use the
water paying much of the costs
of the plan.
By the end of this century --
in just 31 years Texas will
not have enough water to sup-
ply its growing cities its ex-
panding industry and its irri-
gated agriculture. The plan is
being developed to assure an
adequate water supply.
Argument for the plan is that
it offers a means of developing
adequate water resources in an

orderly efficient manner over
a 50 year period. Although Tex-
as Water resources are fairly
adequate at the present time
adoption of this amendment is
necessary to implement the
plan and avoid extensive water
deficiencies in the future since
long periods of time are requir-
ed to construct the facilities
necessary.
Argument against the plan is
that it will be a burden to the
Texas econojny. Although it is
to be financed with revenue
bonds there will be many costs
to be met before any revenue is
realized.
