party that was given for their
son, Bee County Sheriff Robert

at the couple’s home in
Normanna, Saturday.
Approximately 185 friends
and relatives attended the
housewarming, bringing pot
Plants, gifts, etc. with them.
Several of the couple’s friends
from Beeville donated cash,
and the couple was presented
with a money tree at the party.
Friends also furnished the

variety of barbequed meats,
beans, potato salad and all the
trimmings.

the Kirchman home has
entertained the Odem children
at Halloween. The turnout, like
last year, was very good, with
some attending from Sinton

The front yard and porch was
decorated to a ghoul’s delight,
complete with tombstones,
flying spirits and real live
witches and monsters. Spooky
music could be heard coming
from inside the house and
adding to the Halloween'
theme. At the door, the good
lairy, played by Mrs. Evelyn

The future of Texas is in your hands
Bill Clements is a part of this great state. Texas has a great
future, but that future is only as bright as the man who’s in
charge. The time has come to elect a proven businessman,
a leader, and not just another politician.
We must control inflation and taxes.
Bill Clements knows how. With less government in Austin,
not more. With reorganization and sound planning as
alternatives to increased spending. With the elimination
of unnecessary and excessive taxes.
We must solve our energy problems.
Federal control of Texas’ gas and oil will destroy our
state’s economy for the benefit of the East and the North.
Clements will fight that. He’ll fight for an energy program
of increase^ production. He’s well qualified because
he’s worked in the energy business all mw*
over Texas and around the world.
of the Board of Governors at Southern Methodist Univer-
sity for eight years, he has been an innovator in education.
He knows the children of Texas are our most valuable
resource.
We must have a strong spokesman in Washington.
Washington doesn’t understand farmers, ranchers, or
Texas. Bill Clements is one person who can do something
about it. He knows Washington. And, Washington knows
him. As Deputy Secretary of Defense he managed the
Defense Department for four years starting in 1973, and
was responsible for the Pentagon’s $100 billion a year
budget and 3,000,000 employees.
He commanded respect—the one thing
Texas demands now more than ever.
We must improve state-wide
education.
The Texas state education system ranks ^
in the lowest third in the nation. Bill
Clements will change that. As chairman
