AMARILLO, Tex. (AP) -
The government is giving away
a small fortune in taxpayer dol-
lars to ex-convicts to see if the
money will keep them from re-
turning to a life of crime.
Hundreds of former Texas
prison inmates are being pa-
roled and then regularly hand-
ed money in an experiment
termed Transitional Aid Re-
search Project for Ex-Offend-
ers.
The Amarillo Sunday News-
Globe said the project involves
1,800 ex-convicts, in Texas and
expenditure of more than $500,-
000 from U.S. Department of
Labor funds.
Aim of the program is to see
whether a steady paycheck-re-
gardless of whether a man is
working-will keep him from

He said a big wench truck will
roll up to the northern end of the
reservoir Thursday afternoon
and pull the "stop-logs "othat will
allow water to enter from the
canal system.
This will mark quite a
milestone.” Jennings said.
George P. Munson, executive
director of CIWA, said it will
take about a week to fill the
reservoir. With the present
pumping capacity, the system
can deliver 150 million gallons a
day.
When the final pumping
system is finished, Munson said
the capacity will be more than a

The initial system will cost
$162 million. To date, $147
million in bonds have been
issued.
The initial pumping station is

WASHINGTON (AP) - The
Senate is debating whether
Daylight Saving Time should be
extended to eight months, as it
was last year, or whether it
should run for six months or
less.
Unless Congress acts, the
country automatically goes
back on six months of standard
toe and six months of DST.
This means Daylight Saving
now is set to run from April 25
to Oct. 31.
If Daylight Saving is extend-
ed to eight months under a bill
before the Senate, it would run
from March 7 to Nov. 14.
The eight-month option
plus an additional week in No-
vember to avoid changing
times in the last week of to
here
will be administered
through Harris Cbuaty.
Cornelius said the city may
receive from $110,000 to $189,000
but the exact amount is not
known yet.
Examples of projects being
considered are the paving of
1 West Republic, piping to
Laredo Street ditch, installing
sidewalks, curbs and gutters on
Laredo; building a sidewalk
along West Texas; and
demolishing some vacant,
dilapidated structures.
