THE HOWE ENTERPRISE THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 1975 PAGE FIVE
WHAP!—A member of the Aces, left, winners of every volleyball tournament they have entered
this year, spikes one against the Wild Bunch in play this week at the Howe High School
Gymnasium. The contest was part of the annual Howe Athletic Booster Club Volleyball
Tournament which began Monday and continuing through April 5. Admission is 25 cents for
players and 35 cents for spectators. Preschoolers are admitted free.
HEFTY HAUL—Bill Gann of Howe holds up the catch
made by him andJ.W. Jones, also of Howe, last weekend
off Galveston. Gann caught the 18-pound red snapper at
right and Jones landed the 45-pound Warsaw at left.
Gann said it took Jones 15 minutes to bring the larger
fish into the boat.
Apply for Exemption Now
Howe homeowners who were
65 years of age on or before
Jan. 1, 1975 and haven’t yet
signed up for their $3,000 local
tax exemption should do so
this month, the city reminded
today.
Persons claiming an exemp-
tion must either appear in
person or have their form
notarized stating that they are
65 years of age.
TP&L customers want to know:
"How do rising fuel
^prices affect my
electric bill?"
Texas Power & Light generating plants require
enormous quantities of natural gas, lignite
coal and, when deliveries of gas are curtailed,
fuel oil, to produce electricity.
TP&L’s 1974 fuel costs were more than
double the costs in 1972, and will be more
than $160,000,000 in 1975, 70% greater than
in 1974.
Unlike most businesses, we cannot raise the
basic price of electricity as the costs of
producing it go up. Our rates are established
and altered only by resolution or ordinance of
City Councils. For this reason, TP&L, and
virtually every electric company in the nation,
has a fuel adjustment provision in its rates.
When TP&L’s cost of boiler fuel exceeds 20
cents per million BTU’s (the equivalent of
1,000 cubic feet of natural gas), the
adjustment provision permits us to pass on to
our customers the additional cost. We make
no profit on the fuel.
Beginning this month, a notation on your
electric bill will show what the per-kilowatt-
hour fuel charge is for the month. Multiply this
amount by the total number of kilowatt-hours
on your bill and you have the fuel adjustment
charge. Every customer pays the same fuel
adjustment rate for each kilowatt-hour used.
“What is TP&L doing to
offset rising fuel prices?”
To offset the rising prices of natural gas and
fuel oil, TP&L is constructing large generating
units which will use relatively low cost lignite
coal. Two such units have been in operation
since 1972. Eleven additional units are
scheduled to be placed in service in the
period from 1975 to 1982.
We want our customers to know why the fuel
adjustment charge is necessary and how it
affects the price of electric service.

Bulldogs
Try Again
Tuesday
The weather, which has all
but ruined the Howe High
School spring sports season
this year, took another big
swipe at the baseball Bulldogs
last week by forcing cancela-
tion of the Grayson County,
College Tournament.
Thus, nearly a month into
what was to have been the
1975 season, the Bulldogs
still have managed to get in
only two games—a double-
header two weeks ago against
Whitewright.
Coach Rick Clements, who
feels the Bulldogs have a
chance for the district title if
they can ever get onto the
field, says that what had been
set up as a 17-game season
has now been cut to a max-
imum of 10 games, since
seven already have been
canceled because of bad
weather.
Howe, 1 and 1 on the season,
will try again Tuesday at 3
p.m. against Callisburg at
Gainesville Tuesday. Then,
they are scheduled for a re-
match against Callisburg in
the Bulldogs’ first home game
at 3 p.m. Thursday.
These will be the final two
games before the six-game
district schedule opens April
15 at Pottsboro.
The Bulldogs, with strong
pitching and power at the
plate, figure to be the team to
beat in the district, but the
lack of practice, because of the
weather could affect them
adversely, Clements says.
Cotton Crop
Largely Unsold
A USTIN--Around 62
percent of the 1974 Texas
cotton crop was unsold and
still in the hands of
producers through'the latter
part of January, Agriculture
Commissioner John C. White
has announced.
Of an estimated 2.33
million available running
bales, about 1.44 million
bales were unsold, White
cotton around the state are
as follows: Lower Rio
Grande Valley, 20 percent;
Corpus Christi area, 50
.percent; Austin area, 75
percent; Dallas area, 65
percent; Abilene, including
Munday area, 70 percent;
Lubbock area, 70 percent;
Memphis, Eastern Panhandle
and four north Texas
counties in the
Vernon-Quanah areas, 70
percent, and Pecos-El Paso
area, 50 percent.
Trackmen Show
Strength in Bonham
The Howe Bulldog track team
finally got its first taste of
competition last Thursday at
Bonham, but then the weather
took over again and forced
cancelation of two big meets
Friday and Saturday at Potts-
boro and Bonham.
The Thursday meet, which
was abbreviated because of
blustery weather saw the Bull-
dogs pick up a handful first,
second and third places, al-
though the marks and times
were less than impressive.
Coach Norman Dickey said
strong winds were largely re-
sponsible for the lackluster
times, and he feels they will
improve in the big 25-school
meet at Coppell this Saturday
and the district meet April 11
at Pottsboro.
Howe’s best showing at Bon-
ham came in the shot put
where they swept the first
three places. Joe Gray took
first, heaving the 12-pound
weight 41 feet 2 inches. David
Davis had a toss of 38 feet
11 % inches, and Ronny Davis
took third with 37 feet 1 3/4
inches.
David Davis also won the
discus throw with a toss into
the wind of 112 feet 2 inches.
David Sailing won the pole
vault at 9 feet even, and Brian
Usrev took first in the 880-
yard run with a time of 2:22.
The Bulldogs, entering the
meet minus their No. 1 sprint-
er, Jackie Monk, still managed
second and third place finishes
in the. 100-yard dash, with
Edwin Allison taking second in
10.8 and Donny Reed third in
11 seconds flat.
Mark Schneider placed
second in the 120-yard high
hurdles with a run of 18.3.
Dickey said that if Schneider
is able to get in additional
practice before the district
meet, he feels he can cut
about two second off that time
and pick up some points for
the Howe team.
Reed placed second in the
long jump wfih 18 feet 8
inches and Marvin Cate was
third with 17 feet 10 inches.
