Smith told the House Com-
mittee on Human Resources TYC
“needs a little settling time and a
little of the pressure taken off”
before it can move toward new
goals. Smith said the council will
comply fully with the rulings of
Federal District Judge William
Wayne Justice at Tyler that it
end certain disciplinary practices
used against youth school
inmates.
Youth Council
Is Shaken Up
AUSTIN, (TPAILeadership of
the Texas Youth Council was
shaken up in the wake of recent
“semi-riots” at Gatesville Boys
School and a court finding that
discipline is too harsh at several
state institutions for youth.
Dr. James A. Turman resigned
as TYC executive director, a post
he has held since 1957, and
Robert Kneebone quit as
chairman.
The Board named W. Forrest
Smith of Dallas as new chairman
of TYC and Ron Jackson, 33, of
Brownwood as acting executive
director.
Beef Up Rice
Beef Kabobs or pork chops de-
serve to be accompanied with a
special rice. Just pop a cube of
beef bouillon in the boiling water
when cooking rice or use diluted
canned bouillon. The soup sea-
sons the rice as well as giving it
a gourmet appearance.

Opinions of the
Attorney General
AUSTIN. (TPA)—Signboards
planted on private land should be
treated for condemnation pur
poees as though they were
owned and erected by the
landowner regardless of private
agreements on leasee, Atty. Gen
John Hill held.
In other opinions, Hill
concluded:
Portions of the new Campaign
Reporting and Disclosure Act of
1978 setting up state and county
election commissions are uncon-
situtional, but validity of other
portions is not affected. Balance
of the act will be enforced,
Secretary of State Mark White
Jr. said.
New law bringing most Texas
coastal waters under the uniform
wildlife regulatory act does not
supercede penal provision*
governing seining. It does not
cause the Parks and Wildlife
Department to lose regulatory
authority over shrimp in
Csmeron, Brssoria, Jackson,
Willacy, Jefferson or Orange
counties.
Gillespie County retains title
to its county roads dedicated
more than a century ago, except
where they have been fenced by
landowners continuously for 20
years and are not reasonably
necessary to reach adjoining
land.
The county judge of Hill
County may not also serve as
veterans county service officer.
A court reporter’s salary
should be paid by counties of a
district on a scale fixed by the
district judge.
Texas Amusement Machine
Commission jurisdiction over
coin machines on federal bates
depends on terms of cession
agreements and appropriate
state law. If located on land not
ceded to the U.S. and acquired
with non-appropriated funds,
commission jurisdiction will be
complete.
A tape of testimony of Dallas
vending machine magnate R. B.
Williams before a 1909 House
committee can be released under
the open meetings law. However,
Hill retained some of the
committee files submitted to him
for further study as to whether
they may be confidential.
An act of the 1978 Legislature
creating mass transit authorities
with power to levy motor vehicle
emission taxes is constitutional
The open records bill does not
permit public disclosure of birth
and death records filed with
county clerks, and certain
portions of the Artesia Hall child
care facility file are not subject to
disclosure under the same law.

Children
Ask any teenager what it his
biggest problem with his parents
and he’ll probably tell you some-
♦hing like this: “My parents don’t
think I’m mature enough to take
care of myself.”
A large number of parents hear
this complaint whenever they at-
tempt to stop a child from travel-
ing with the wrong kind of com-
panions, when they refuse to let
them do “what everyone else is
doing or go where everyone else
is going,” or when parents refuse,
to permit dating at an early age.
But this is Just what children
need — guidance and love, and
many times it means taking a
definite negative stand for the
child's own benefit. They’ll com-
plain about their parents’ deci-
sion, but in the future they will
appreciate them all the more be-
cause they ware given love and
guidance by their parents.
Too many parents take the easy
way and let their children run
their own lives at a very early
age, when they an really In need
of parental guidance. Later these
parents will ask: “When did we
go wrong?”
