City Employee
Gets State
Certificate
The Texas State Health De-
partment has awarded its
Official certificate of competency
for the oldest ecology oriented
profession in Texas to Domingo
Olguin of P. O. Box 575,
Cuero, Texas.
Mr. Olguin is employed by
the City of Cuero. To practice
water ecology in Texas, he has
been taught effective ways for
producing safe drinking water
and treatments to make waste-
water into clean streams for
public use.
Because of this training,
through the Texas Water Utili-
ties Association, the largest
water and wastewater training
school in the U. S., there are
cleaner streams and better
operated facilities here than
any other section of the
country.
He received the certificate
oniy after completing a for-
mal and specialised education,
accumulated a prescribed a-
mount of actual work exper-
ience, and passed the examin-
ation given by the State Health
Department’s Sanitary Engin-
eering Section.
Our growing concern over
clean water makes the water
ecologist one of the most
important workers in the com-
munity. Though his efforts are
not seen by those he serves,
his results are visible every
time one turns on a tap.

“Same As Cash”
USDA Official Explains Food
Stamp Program To Area Grocers
Mr. Reagan T. Humphrey,
USDA officer in charge of the
Corpus Christi Field Office of
the Agriculture Department’s
Food and Nutrition Service
spoke to a courtroom full of
interested grocers and retail
businessmen on the “whys”
and “why note’’ concerning
the Food Stamp Program which
will begin in DeWitt County
Nov. 1. The informative tact-.. .
ure was held in the DeWitt
County Courthouse Tuesday
evening.
Humphrey informed mer-
chants that all Food Stamp
participants must apply for
certification and only authorised
business establishments can
participate.
“The stamps will be used in
the place of money and re-
cipients should be treated the
same as cash customers,’’
Humphrey said.
Humphrey, answering one
merchants question, also ex-
plained how change can be
made. He said the stamps,
coupon-like bills, have values
of 95, $2 and 50 cents. If
change is less than 50 cents,
the buyer will receive a credit
bill which will also be used
as money in exchange for food.
Food stamps will be collect-
ed by authorized store owners

preacher for a one-night evange-
listic rally at the Victoria Com-
munity Center on Wednesday,
James Robison—Evangelist
October 17, 1973, at 7:30 p.m.
The rally, sponsored by var-
ious area churches here, is
expected to draw an attendance
of 2,000 to 2,500 persons.
The meeting is open to the
public and other churches, ac-
cording to Rev. Jimmie Mize,
rally chairman and pastor of the
Northside Baptist Church, Vic-
toria.
Sharing the program spotlight
with Robison will be other
members of his evangelistic
team, including gospel singer
John McKay and organist Richey
Craig.
Guest soloist will be Mrs.
Jeanne Copeland Rogers, 24, of
Hurst, Texas. She is a regular
performer on the evangelist’s
weekly television program,
“James Robison Get Together,”
as well as a frequent soloist
for Robison’s crusades.
Robison's half-hour, syndi-
cated TV show “Get Together”
is carried over Houston station
KHTV, Channel 39, and can be
seen each Sunday evening at 9:30
p.m.
At 29, he has preached his
simple gospel message face-to-
face to some six million people,
more than had heard Billy Gra-
ham when he was that age.
He has conducted more than
350 crusades in some 30 states.
At these evangelistic meetings,
usually held in large auditor-
iums or ifootball stadiums, he
often preaches to crowds of
8.000 to 10,000 nightly.
Robison also speaks to some
200.000 high school students
each year on such subjects as
personal responsibility, youth
problems and moral character.
More than 200,000 people have
made personal commitments of
their lives to Christ in response
to his ministry. Of these, some
100.000 were making their first
decisions for Christ, accepting
Him as Lord and Savior.
In addition to his crusade aud-
iences, Robison reaches thou-
sands of people through his

income, resources and other
factors. Humphrey concluded.
Mr. James Gandre, area
supervisor of the Food Stamp
Program which falls under
the direction of the State De-
partment of Public Welfare
and whose office is located at
212 North Esplanade announced
that food stamp distribution
will begin November 1.
Gandre said that any person
receiving a welfare check or
who doesn't make much money
may be eligible to participate
in the new state-wide food
stamp program.
Other persons possibly eligible
for food stamps include those
who work part-time, low income,
are unemployed, or those who
get small Social Security
payments or ' some kind of
pension check.
Individuals and households
may apply for food stamps but
all applicants must have cooking
facilities in their place of re-
sidence in order to qualify.
For definition, an individual
is anyone who does not live in
a boarding house or institution.
And a household, Gandre said,
is a group of people, not ne-
cessarily related, living in one
economic unit, sharing com-
mon cooking facilities and for
whom food is customarily pur-
chased in common.
Items which cannot be pur-
chased under this program
include alcoholic beverages
and tobacco.
All persons interested in
applying for food stamps should
take the following information
to the food stamp office:
1. Proof of the household’s
total income. This includes
pay slips, pay envelopes, pen-
sion award letters, etc.
2. Rent receipts or house
payment book and utility bills.
3. Bank Dooks or other papers
that show any savings.
4. Medical bills.
5. E-16 claim identification
card for all those receiving
welfare or other subsistance
allowances.
Certified households will
receive an Authorization To
Purchase (ATP) Card each
month in the mail. The card
will specify an amount of
stamps and how much money,
if any, they must pay for
them. The ATP card and the

Nine Million Affected
Alcoholism Is A Disease,
Speaker Tells Lions Club

Seen By Millions

Of SWTSU Strutters
Alcoholism is a disease which
leads to domestic, legal, finan-
cial and emotional problems,
according to Don Hill of
Gulf Bend Center, Mental
Health-Mental Retardation of
Victoria.
Hill, speaking before the
Cuero Lions Club yesterday,
said that alcoholics usually
have three choices, death, in-
sanity or sobriety. An Al-
coholic, and there are approxi-
mately nine million of them in
the United States, can best be
described as a person who had
problems because of his al-
cohol intake.
Introduced by program chair-
man Ronnie Ledbetter, Hill
said that less than five per-
cent of alcholics are on skid
row and most have a higher
than average income, intelli-
gence and the average age ta
35 to 40._
Hill explained the work of
f
Talbot House in Victoria, a
facility to aid alcoholics and
their families in a seven-county
area. The facility is available
to citizens of DeWitt County.
At present, Hill said that 41
alcoholics have been served on
a resident basis with 24 receiv-
ing out-patient care.
Hill admitted that the re-
covery rate is “very low”
and that Alcoholics Anonymous
has helped tremendously in the
program. No other recovery
rate can .compare with the
AA program.
In other Lions news, president
Howard Bennett announced
that Ladies Night will be held
in conjunction with the club’s
35th anniversary, Tuesday night
at the American Legion
Civic Center. The social-dinner
will get underway at 7 p.m.
The club will not meet next
Wednesday, Bennett added
