ADVERTISE IN THE HERALD!
By Betsy Gordon
(Continued from last week)
Short term cures are being
explored. Strains of acid-tol-
erant fish are being bred to
restock Adirondack £ waters.
Lime has been added to lakes
to neutralize them, but this
causes its own problem. Be-
sides being expensive, liming
can trigger release Of heavy
metals from bottom sedi-
ments. In limed Swedish
lakes, for example, fish be-
came inedible due to high
mercury content.
While such measures may
help, they do not g&t to the
root of the problemgln May,
Environmental Protection
Agency Director Douglas
Costle announced final fed-
eral standards deducing
allowable sulfur emissions
from new power plants to half
the current level. These rules,
which affect only the 350 coal-
burning plants expected to be
built by 1995, will require
utilities to spend several bill-
ion dollars to remove between
70 and 90 percent of the sulfur
from stack gases, depending
on whether low or high sulfur
Coal is burned. However,
sulfur emissions will still
increase by nearly two mill-
ion tons over the next 15
years, due to the expected
tripling of coal use by old
plants not covered by these
standards before new ones
come on line. To make any
real difference, controls must
be placed on emissions from
existing plants.
Scrubbers (which mix stack
gas with a sulfur-absorbing
lime limestone solution) and
other flue gas desulfurization
methods can remove up to 98
percent of the sulfur. Washing
coal before use also removes
sulfur, as does subjecting it to
gasification or hydrogenation.
However, even if industry
started installing anti-pollu-
tion devices today, emissions
would not fall below current
levels for 15 years, because
the oil crunch has increased
use of high sulfur coal.

eration for Environmental

Clean up is expensive, but
research by the Youth Fed-
eration for Environmental
Studies and Conservation
found the cost of installing
pollution controls lower than

For example, it would cost

526 million pounds Sterling
(not including costs of health
effects and reduced crop
yields).
On the national front, action
on acid rain has been slow. It
has been recognized by the
President’s Council on Er>-
vironmental Quality as one of
two major regional environ-
mental problems, and 28
states and the federal govern-
ment have created a coopera-
tive rainfall monitoring netr
work. And in his August 2
I gqyirppniental message,
President Carter announced a
10 year research program on
acid rain, with a $10 million
first year budget.
Hopefully, this will help
increase awareness of and
concern about this pressing
environmental problem,
which for too long has been a
“passed over” issue.

BILL McREYNOLDS, promi-
nent weatherman for a
prominent San Antonio radio
station, was wrong once
again, as are so many other
Texas meteorologists and
weather announcers, observ-
ers, or reporters, in that the
big rains he predicted for our
Texas Hill Country Wednes-
day did not materialize. In
fact, the contrary was the
case, with clear blue skies a
prevailing Wednesday afferjf*
the “norther” passed
through, bringing only 0.33 of
an inch of rain. That is all I
recorded, on my official rain
gauge, for Wednesday, Nov.
21. The rain for this month, :
added to the 0.02, 0.25 and
0.24, is far below our annual :
average for the month of No-
vember. We need some rain
and moisture in the ground.
Please tell, whoever, to send
some, and mui pronto!
—Range & Field—
AUTUMN is always a won-
derful time of the year, with
the varied colors, the pretty
leaves on the trees. Driving
through the country now is a
wonderful thing, to see those
beautiful autumn leaves,
which were green not so long
ago, turn to bright yellows,
orange, reds, browns and the
varied hues in between. Take
an hour or two and drive into
the country. If you can’t find
the gasoline or necessary fuel
for your auto, walk around
town and you’ll see some of .
the prettiest tree colors you
ever saw in your life right
here in town.
—Range & Field—
IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IT,
go down to MacADOO
WHITE’S place on West Schu-
bert Street, Town Creek, and
see the colors on some of the
trees he must have planted
there when he rebuilt that
residence and added to the
scenery along both sides of
the creek. We’ve been told (I
did not ask) that the yellow
leaves there are on Aspen
trees. Maybe they are Birch
or something else. We’ll
elaborate on that at a later
date, along with some pic-
tures, we hope, of another
place he is developing a block
further up the creek. Mr.
White deserves a lot of praise
and compliments for helping
to beautify Fredericksburg!

FIRST BUCK brought to the Harper Locker Saturday
morning was a nice 7-pointer killed by Jan Esquell. Jan
made the kill with a .222 rifle, two shots, into the back and
neck, at about 7 a.m. Saturday. She killed the buck on her
father’s place, Joe Esquell, 8 miles southwest of Harper
on the Reservation Road. Jan is a sophomore in Harper
High School, where she is active in athletics, especially in
tennis.

Phil Barron, Owner
Lendon Palmer, prominent
Harper real estate developer,
builder, business man, civic
leader and otherwise erstr
while promoter of Harper,
was not, perhaps or exactly,
the most satisfied or happiest
person in and around the
community following an
interesting “hunting” inci-
dent this week.
Not only did Lendon supply
the gun, the ammunition and
lodging, and later on a knife
for the skinning, but he was
amazed that his son-in-law,
Rev. Doug Williams, formerly
of Harper Road Estates and
now of Victoria, Old Mexico
(below Monterrey) would
have the sheer guts or good
luck to kill his finest, most
prized eight-point buck. Rev.
Williams came up over the
weekend and said he would
like to participate in the first
few days of the legal 1979 deer
hunting season in or around
Harper. He is in charge of an
orphanage at or near Vic-
toria, Mexico.
For months Lendon Palmer
and son Danny have been put-
ting out hundreds of pounds of
corn (reportedly about 2,000
lbs.) on their 55-acre tract
across the highway from their
office, Kerrville road, one-
half mile south of Harper.
Everyone in the community
seemed to know about that
big prize pet buck, one of the
finest in the area to be seen
here for many a season. As

munity’s foremost hunters

Tyler Wilke bagged his
buck on Monday which scored
as follows: 82 lbs. dressed
weight scored 82 points; 9%
inches in height scored 39V2
points; 13 inch spread scored
52 points; 10 points scored 50
points; 5% inches circumfer-
ence base scored 23V2 points;
total points scored 247.
Mrs. May Dora Roeder also
killed a buck on Monday
evening which scored as fol-
lows: 72 V2 lbs. dressed
weight, scored 72V2 points;
11 ¥2 inch spread scored 46
points; 8% inches in height
scored 35 points; 7 points
scored 35 points; 5 inches cir-
cumference base scored 20
points; total points scored
2O8V2.
We think this is a pretty
good record for the first three
days of the 1979 hunting sea-
son. The weather on Saturday
evening was a wee bit on the
drizzly side, which was wel-
comed since we’ve been on
the dry side since the month
of August. More rain, how-
ever, is needed and will be
very welcome!

and knowledgeable personali-
ties on the art of hunting wild
game, especially deer, said:
“That is one of the finest
bucks I have seen in or near
Harper for many a year.”
Well, as good luck, or mis-
fortune for Lendon, would
have it, son-in-law Rev. Will-
iams borrowed the gun,
ammunition, went out a-hunt-
ing on the big 55-acre spread
just across from Lendon’s
office. There appeared on the
horizon that big, beautiful
eight-pointer which came into
full view of the preacher’s
gun-sight; one shot and the
prize buck fell. That’s not all!
He didn’t have a knife. So he
crossed back over the high-
way to David Hallenbeck’s
home where the Lovelass Gas
Co. propane truck usually is
located, & calls via telephone
for assistance, and a knife. Of
course, what is a father-in-
law supposed to do except
rush down there and render
first aid)
All is well, however, for
Lendon had some good luck,
also, but only half that much
since he shot a mere four-
pointer Monday afternoon,
also on the great 55-acre
spread across from his office.
This one didn’t weigh near as
much as Rev. Williams’
which field dressed out at 115
pounds. (Must have been
corn-fed, although the acorn
crop around here is supposed
. to have been better than in
other parts of the country this
year!)
Not only did Lendon provide
the gun, the ammunition, the
lodging, food, etc., but he also
helped field-dress the big
buck since the hunter himself
probably was unaccustomed
to doing such a chore, having,
instead, more opportunities to
render aid in the pulpit and
related chores! The 115-
pounder reportedly had a
very nice set of antlers, in
other words, a very nice rack
on top of his head!

TEN BUCKS were killed by 12 o’clock noon on the first
day of the annual hunting season last Saturday, Nov. 17,
1979, on the Ottmar Schnerr ranch, Spring Creek, off U. S.
290.
Largest of the bucks was a 10-pointer. The group of
seven hunters, from the Houston area, all were lucky.
Due to the warm weather all of the deer were taken to a
Fredericksburg cold storage place and the Houston men
returned to camp to enjoy the balance of that day as well
as the following day in camp.
No Sale at Junction
Stockyards Friday
Due to the customary
Thanksgiving holidays, there
will be no cattle sale at the
Junction Stockyards this Fri-
day, Nov. 23, according to
Willard Jordan, senior mem-
ber and owner of the sprawl-
ing stockyards.
The usual sales will resume
next week with sheep and
goats on Monday, Nov. 26,
from 10:30 a.m. and cattle
next week Friday, Nov. 30,
from 11 a.m.
Jordan said that the cattle
sales last week Friday were
very good. A thousand head of
cattle moved through the
stockyards; the^market was
up, calves brought from $2.00
to $4.00 higher, and demand
especially good on heifers.
The Junction Stockyards
have had an unusually good
year thus far in 1979, with
sales continuing strong during
the fall season. Buyers and
sellers arrive at the Stock-
yards from throughout the
state and even from other
states. The Junction Stock-
yards maintain their slogan,
“The Texas Hill Country’s
Most Competitive Market
Center.”
Thousands of goats and
sheep have moved through
the stockyards this year with
the demand sometimes ex-
ceeding the supply. Most
ranchers have enjoyed a good
year, but lack of rain in the
past two months has dimmed
hopes of plenty of pasturage
for the current late fall and
winter months.- Rain is
needed, most everywhere in
Texas, especially here in the
hill country which has seen
very little rain since August.
