An important part
of your electric hill.
Texas Power a light Company
PHASE RETURN THIS
Time was when your electric bill probably
was “just another item” in the family budget.
You knew from the year before about what
to expect.
Regretfully, this is no longer true. As the costs ,
of producing and supplying electricity have
gone up Texas Power & Light has had no
choice but to ask its customers to pay more
for what they use. The electric bill has become
a large item in most family budgets.
You and each member of your family are
important parts of your electric bill. How you
use appliances and equipment makes a big
difference in the amounts of your bills. Make '
a family project of keeping the air conditioner
thermostat set at about 78°. Operate the
clothes washer, dryer and dishwasher only
with full loads. Turn the television off when
> y°u ,eave It- And check around the house for
other energy-saving, dollar-saving measures.
Texas Power & Light is working to assure an
adequate supply of electric power for all of its
customers and to help them get the most value
for their electric dollars.

Boyle ill trying to get another
hearing to accoriiplistLthis.
In looking at the budget analy-
sis for the year just ending,
Boyle pointed out that two of
the major items that are causing
the deficit are utilities and con-
tracted services. “With the fuel
situation the way it is, these are
the types of things that are
almost impossible to budget ac-
curately,” he said.
At the end of July utilities
were running about $5,000 over
budget for the year, and con-
tracted services about $4,000
over budget.
The board set a meeting for
Thursday, Aug. 18, to study an
initial draft of next year’s bud-'
get. Boyle said he hoped the
final version would be ready for
a jpublic hearing by early or
mid-September.
In other matters at Monday’s
meeting the board:
—authorized the purchase of
three IBM Selectric typewriters
for $470 each for the business
practices classroom, and asked
that Boyle try to get a com-
mitment on that price for two
more weeks in case the board
feels it can purchase three more
after looking at the initial bud-
get figures. Boyle said it is
essential that the class convert
to electric typewriters as much
as possible’ “because you just
don’t find many offices today
that use manual typewriters and
the students need to learn on
electric.” The school present
has mostly electric typewriters,
-•—approved at an executive
session the hiring to two addi-
tional teacher’s aides for next
year—Mrs. Iva Holcomb and
Mrs. Wanda Boyle. Mrs. Hol-
comb served as an aide in the
high school principal’s office
last year and will fill that capac-
ity again this year. Mrs. Boyle
will fill at least part of a new
state requirement for additional
teachers and aides in the kind-
ergarten through first grade
area. The requirement, based
on kindergarten and first grade
enrollment, will probably be ful-
filled by the addition of one
aide, the superintende said, but
if increase enrollment creates a
need for additonal partial teach-
er or aide units in that area,
Mrs. Holcom may be used part
time there.
—heard a request from Mrs.
Ronnie Langford for playground
equipment at the elementary
school anda covered walkway to
the cafetorium. Boyle said the
lack of both were among the
first things he noticed when he
came to work here and he is
hopeful something can be done
Mrs. Bob Smith suggest-
ed that perhaps the vocational
agriculture classes could help
construct some playground
equipment. Board Member
Leon Thornhill suggested the
PTA also might be able to help
in the purchase 'fif the equip-
ment. v

Texas Wheat Crop Harvest
Larger Than First Predicted
AUSTIN—Revised -figures
which show an increase in
the amount of wheat
harvested in Texas this year
could mean mixed blessings
for the citizens of the state,
Texas Agriculture
Commissioner Reagan V.
Brown skid this week.
7 “Our new estimate of
115,000,000 bushels is a five
per cent increase over
estimates given in June by
the Texas Crop and
Livestock Reporting
Service,” Brown stated.
“This abundance will not
benefit the farmer, who now
loses almost $2 orr each
bushel he produces, due to
the glutted market. However,
it will assure continued
stable prices on products for
the consumer.”
Brown added that Texas’
harvest, with the summer
crop in its final stages, will
contribute to the estimated
3.2 billion bushels of wheat
available on the U.S. market
at the end of the season.
“The losses our farmers
are suffering are a direct
result of the lack of
long-range food planning,”
Brown commented, “and the
haphazard reactions to
up-and-down demand
situations by previous
Federal adminstrations.”
Brown also said that food
shortages around the world
have been eased somewhat
by good crops in several
major wheat producing
countries. This is certain to
affect Texas’ export markets,
to which a major portion of
the state’s producing land is
devoted.
“Much depends upon the
federal farm legislation we
soon expect to come from
Washington,” Brown said.
“We need acreage controls
and price supports based on
solid economics and not
influenced by outside
politics. Hopefully the farm
bill will contain these items.”

Heart Arteries Small
AUSTIN, Texas (Spl.) - A
University of Texas scientist
who does research on heart
disease says the trouble with
coronary arteries is that they
are so small a wooden match
stick would fit snugly inside
one.
Dr. Walter K. Long says an
obstruction does not have to
be very large to block an
artery. A common block is the
formation of plaque, a com-
plex growth of smooth muscle
tissue and other constituents.
“Like scale in a pipe, the
plaque slows down the flow of
blood through the artery, and
slowly flowing blood tends to
clot,” says the UT Austin
scientist whose research in-
volves the study of genetic
factors in coronary artery dis-
ease.
