Stan Webb III, mayor pro

the peak month yet to come.
The budget anticipates $2,000
monthly.
The hospital district levies a
tax at the rate of 33 cents per
$100 valuation based on 60
percent assessed value. The
maximum tax allowable is 75
cents.
Davis said that an act of the
legislature would be required
before the hospital district
could be expanded. A
referendum would be required
in both areas before Sinton
could be added to the district,
he said.
An agreement with the
county to pay for indigent care
would be an alternative to the
need to expand the district,
Davis said.
The hospital has a 95 percent
collection ratio. Its patient
ratio is three to one from
outside the district. An average
day’s stay in the hospital costs
$100.
A computer has been in use
for the past year. Its rental
charge of $1,300 per month re-
resents a savings, the ad-
ministrator said. The govern-
ment is the largest purchaser
of services and much paper-
work is required.
The fire-proof building is
equipped with the latest safety
devices. A new supply building
has been built near the hospital
at a cost of $18,000. A sprinkler
system was installed to comply
with regulations at a cost of
$7,600. Davis said the sprinkler
would destroy the supplies as
well as fire would, but
regulations had to be met.
The hospital maintains a
supply inventory costing
$40,000 to meet 40 days’ needs.
He indicated the deal made
with Sinton Hospital was
satisfactory.
Davis was not optimistic
about the future of hospital
care being maintained in
Sinton.
SKETCHING-
Continued from Page 1
My ice cream was undiluted
as far as I know. It was ob-
tained from a local creamery,
and delivered intact. I tried to
keep just enough on hand for
the “rush hour” traffic, which
of course, was just before and
after each performance. We
did employ a couple of “per-
centage carnies” to hawk our
wares in the stands. Both of us
did rather well, as the west
Texas sun favored us with 90
odd readings.
My taste for burgers has
waned through the years. Too,,
other things that I considered
tasty, have lost their savor. I
carried a group of FFA boys
through a San Antonio
slaughter house one summer’s
day. On that tour, we saw how
bologna was made, and more
importantly what it was made
of, so since that time, bologna
is one cold cut that I avoid with
meticulous care.
My trips through various
bakeries has done nothing to
spoil my taste for the mass
produced “staff of life”. As far
as I can see, every ingredient is
clean, smells good, and is
absolutely maddening when
subjected to the automatic heat
of the huge ovens that turns it
into the spongy finished
product that is sold in local
stores.

Visitors Come
And Go
Visitors have been coming
and going at the home of Mrs.
Emil Pavlicek in Edroy.
Her son and his wife, Mr. and
Mrs. Ricky Owens, came in

spent 10 days with her before
going on to Houston where he
has been transferred by the
GAF Co.
Mrs. Pavlicek’s daughter,
Mrs. Ben Mietzen, and
children, Traci and Jaci came
from San Antonio and spent a
week with her. The girls have
remained for a longer visit.
Their parents will come for
them during the weekend. And
Larry Wayt, Mrs. Pavlicek’s
grandson, will return to San
Antonio with the Mietzen
family for a visit in their home.
Jeff Friend, another grandson
came in from Houston to visit
Mrs. Pavlicek.
CHECKS-

Texas Penal Code (Presump-
tion for Theft by Check)
prosecution can be made for
the maker of a check given in
payment of a dept if paid in
person as opposed to being sent
by mail or left in a receptacle,
a check signed by the parent
but passed by the child, a check
signed by one person and
passed by another or without
the person who passed it
having endorsed the check, a
check wherein partial payment
has been accepted, a check
given in payment of another
check so long as the original
check is not also filed on and a
check on a corporation
regardless of who signed the
check.
Hatch also reminded the
group to be familiar with the
types of checks that can be
criminally prosecuted and that
the only recourse if a check is
returned by the bank is the
civil courts.
°ATH—

“Panchie” and Susan were
here on vacation with his
mother when Smokey died.)
It will take Theda a long,
long time to become ac-
customed to not have Smokey
around her home. Her nights
will be longer and lonelier, I
am sure than they were when
she knew he was sleeping on a
rug beside her bed. Theda
could have slept with every
door and every window open
when Smokey was there and
have known that she was safe.
It is hard to lose that feeling of
security, I am sure.
Having one time buried a
family pet, “Boy” (a rat-
tlesnake killed him) I know
what it means to lose a pet and
I know how Theda feels in
losing her pet of many years
standing. My sympathy goes
out to all who lose a pet. I have
lost several!
They say, “what one doesn’t
know, doesn’t hurt.” But I
know. So be it.
Mr. and Mrs. Procopio
Botello and their daughter and
her family, Mr. and Mrs.
Macedonio Buentello and son
Peter, have returned from a
trip to California which Mrs.
Botello terms “a blessing from
God through social security.”
The trip was also a reward for
Peter having maintained a
“straight A” card through the
school year.
When her husband began
drawing social security, they
decided that while he was still
working they would put aside
the money he drew to finance a
trip. Although he took his social
security early and there were
months when he did not draw
the check, those that he did
draw went into “our trip fund,”
said Mrs. Botello.
The family group left June 15
on the trip that took them
through eight states. They
began visiting relatives along
the way, with their first visit to
the Botellos’ son, Marcos who
is stationed at Laughlin AFB.
They continued their way after
that visit and traveled through
New Mexico and Arizona,
taking time to visit points of
interest. The scenery was
beautiful and was termed
“fantastic” by Mrs. Buentello.
The group missed by only a
few miles encountering a
sandstorm while traveling
through those two states.
They took their first sight-
seeing trip in California in the
city of Fresno where Peter, the
youngest Buentello son, was
born 13 years ago. They visited
friends and relatives in Fresno
as well as touring that city.
They next drove to Yosemite
National Park and from there
to San Clemente, where
everyone in the group was
“rehdy for a big dinner and
plenty of rest,” said Mrs.
Botello.
Los Angeles, their next stop,
had much to offer, said Mrs.
Buentello. They visited Knott’s
Berry Farm and Disneyland.
Old and young alike enjoyed
the rides at the famous
amusement park, said Mrs.
Botello.
Since Berkeley was their
main destination, the Texans
spent two days and three nights
visiting relatives. They have
relatives in San Jose, Fremont
and El Cerrito, and their time
was filled with family dinners
and get-togethers.
In San Jose, Mrs. Botello
visited an uncle and his family
whom she had not seen in 20
years.
Family Has
Get-Together
Mr. and Mrs. Leland
Boultinghouse hosted a
weekend get-together at their
lake lodge in Mathis.
Those present were Mr. and
Mrs. Jake Boultinghouse and
children of Sinton, Mr. and
Mrs. Elton Aaron and son,
Edwin of Pleasanton and Mr.
and Mrs. Leland Boul-
tinghouse.
They enjoyed a barbecue
Saturday and Jake and Edwin
did some fishing. Trout and
redfish were biting good.

SUBSCRIPTION
They next drove to San
Francisco and toured that city.
Then they drove up the coast
through Oregon. They visited
Mr. Botello’s sister and her
family in Sunnyside, Wash.
Their stay in Washington was
delightful, with the weather
nice and the temperature about
70 degrees during their visit to
that state. The flower gardens
in Washington took Mrs.
Botello s eye and gave her
happy memories to mull over
for a long time to come, she
said.
On their journey home the
group drove through Idaho
and Utah. They spent one night
in Salt Lake City after sight-
seeing in that city. Next came
Colorado and New Mexico on
the homeward journey. They
stopped in Albuquerque and
visited Cibolo National Park.
Mr. Botello, Mr. Buentello and
Peter rode the Sandia Peak
tramway.
Their drive back through
Texas included another visit in
the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Marcos Benavidez in San
Antonio. The get-together in
that home called for a bar-
becue in the backyard.
Mr. and Mrs. Botello have an
added sense of gratitude to God
that everything on the trip
went well and nothing “ab-
solutely nothing” got in their
way of having a wonderful
time. “It will become a
cherished memory,” said Mrs.
Botello.
And it goes without saying
Mr. BoteLlo’s next social
security check will go into the
“trip fund” to finance another
vacation trip which will
possibly take the Botellos
below the border for a visit
with his relatives in Mexico.
“God has been so good in
blessing us with the op-
portunity to travel in our older
years,” seems to be the heart-
song of Mrs. Botello as she
talks about the trip she and her
husband and members of her
family have just taken.
Locals
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Lucken-
bach and sons visited briefly
with his mother, Mrs. A. A.
Luckenbach Sr. as they were
enroute from Pettus to Por-
tland where they were going
fishing.
Mr. and Mrs. Lenox West
had her mother and aunt, Mrs.
Loma Budde and Mrs. Mary
Lee Goss, respectively, as their
dinner guests in Corpus Christi
one day last week.
Mr. and Mrs. Don Heath and
children, Pattie and Clifton, of
Cuero visited briefly with
friends here last week when
they were in Odem on business.
Mrs. J. E. Wallace and Mrs.
John T. Bandy drove to
Kerrville Sunday and met Mrs.
Wallace’s daughter, Miss
Melissa Wallace, who had
spent a week with her brother-
in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs.
Michael Sawyer in San Angelo.
Mrs.' Sawyer brought Miss
Wallace to Kerrville and after
eating lunch and visiting with
her mother and Mrs. Bandy
she returned to San Angelo and
the others came to Odem.

KRISSI HORNE
Krissi Home Is At Camp Arrowhead
Krissi Horne, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Horne of
Odem is spending the first five-
week term of the summer at
Camp Arrowhead, a private
camp for girls near Hunt.
Camp Arrowhead bases
many of its traditions on the
Indian lore of the hill country.
Each of the campers is a
member of either the Pawnee
tribe or the Kickapoo tribe. The
two tribes compete during the
entire term for a plaque
awarded the winning tribe
during Closing Campfire
ceremonies.
Krissi, a first-year camper,
is a member of the Kickapoo
tribe. Some of the activities she
has to choose from at
Arrowhead are English and
Western riding, watersports,
tennis, gymnastics, music,
camp craft, riflery, arts and
crafts, archery, landsports and
dance games.
First term ends on July 6,
preceded by a week of special
events, including the Chuck
Wagon Supper, the Tribe
Serenades, the Horse Show, the
Aquacade, the Arts and Crafts
Exhibit and the Closing
Campfire.
Director of Arrowhead is
Mrs. Garner Bartell, whose
parents founded the camp in
1934.

relatives.
He has lived in Portland,
Ore. for more than 20 years,

And much of the original energy of
gas is lost in that process — more
than half, in fact.
But because gas appliances use
gas directly and without conversion,
93% of the original energy comes
to you. And that makes gas appli-
ances much more efficient.
Take a gas water heater, for
example: A gas water heater will
heat 200% more water than an
electric water heater with the
same amount of natural gas.
In a time of increasing demand
for energy, we need to get the most
out of the amount we consume
every day. And a lot of energy can
be saved when you use gas appli-
ances at home. There’s one impor-
tant reason why:
Gas appliances actually use
less natural gas than electric ap-
pliances to perform the same job.
Now, that may seem a bit odd.
