A shabby-looking hobo
knocked on the door of a house in
an affluent suburb,
“Mister,” he said when the
homeowner answered the door,
“I’m down on my luck and I need
some money for food. But I’m
not asking for a handout. I’m
willing to work for it. Do you
have any odd jobs I could do for

“Well let’s see,” the man
said. “I do have a porch at the
side of the house that needs
painting. Can you do that?”
“Sure,” the hobo said. “I can
paint.”
“Okay, fine,” the man said. He
went away and returned a few
minutes with a pail of yellow
paint and a large brush. “Here,”
he said. “When you’re finished

Harvest stretches on
The county cotton harvest
stretched into March during the
week, with less cotton reported
harvested than the week before.
The Sentinel’s 20th weekly
survey of the 1984-85 cotton
harvest-one more week than the
1983-84 harvest survey-yielded
190,312 total bales, less than the
191,944 bales reported the week
before.
The reduction in harvested
bales is due to a reduction to one
gin’s report in total bales
harvested from the week before.
The harvest has virtually been
completed with just 23 of the gins
which operated during the
harvest reporting more cotton to
gin. Two of the gins reported that
they probably would finish this
week, with the other two
indicating that they might be
ginning for two more weeks,
which would lengthen the
harvest, which has now covered
parts of six months, into the
middle of March, just weeks
before planting season begins in
April.
The 1983-84 harvest, which
ended in February, totaled
157,523 bales. The record cotton
crop for the county, which
occurred in 1981-82 year, totaled
354,597 bales.
Sample receipts at the USDA s
Agricultural Marketing Service
Office in Lamesa were very light
during the week, due to nearly all
gins processing their final bales
for the season.
There were 8.042 samples
classed for the week, bringing
the season's total to 397,832.
Quality statistics for the weqk
showed grade 41 at 3 per cent;
grade 51, 12 per cent; grade 61. 2
per cent; grade 42 at 24 per cent;

Building permits down in February
The month of February
continued a down trend in
building activity in Seminole for
the first part of the year.
February yielded a total of
$196,500 in building valuations,
giving 1985 a total of $291,000. A
year ago after two months, the
city had recorded a total of
$833,910 in building valuations.
The February totals, released
by city officials on Friday,
showed one permit issued for a
single family residence valued at
$85,000 and four alterations and
additions totaling the other
$111,500. The additions included
three to dwellings for $36,500 and
one to a commercial building for
$75,000.
During the month, city
officials issued six electrical
permits, six plumbing permits
and no mechanical permits.
During February, 1984,
officials issued 16 building
permits, 10 electrical permits, 13
plumbing permits and three
mechanical permits.

Revenue sharing funds expected to be cut in budget cuts wake
The Reagan
Administration’s budget for
fiscal 1986, which willjrun
from Oct. 1,1985 through Sept.
30, 1386, has raised
considerable controversy
since its release.
Members of Congress from
both parties have criticized
many facets of the proposed
budget. Most observers feel
that Congress is likely to
make a number of changes in
the proposed budget before
finally passing it.
Both Democratic and
Republican members of
.Congress, however, generally
appear to agree with at least
one major change in federal
spending proposed by the
administration: revenue
sharing funds granted by the
federal government to state
and local governments will be
' sharply reduced during fiscal
1986 ( and eventually
eliminated in future fiscal
years. The reduction of
revenue sharing funds will be
felt by local governments in
Gaines County.
Revenue sharing funds have
not been a major component
of the federal budget at any
time. During fiscal 1983, the
most recent year for which
complete figures are
available, revenue sharing
funds amounted to $4.6 billion
or less than one per cent of
total direct federal
expenditures of $701.7 billion.
Federal revenue sharing
funds were also
approximately $4.6 billion
level during fiscal 1984 and are
estimated to be at $4.6 billion
the current

fiscal year. Pre\
year. Previous future
budget estimates by the
Administration had indicated
that this level of funding would
be maintained, although not
increased, through fiscal 1988.
However, since the federal
government faces another
large deficit during fiscal 1986
while most state governments
and many local governments
anticipate revenue surpluses,
both the administration and
many members of Congress
oppose continued revenue
sharing. The proposed budget
, for fiscal 1986 calls for
reducing revenue sharing
funds during that fiscal year
from $4.6 billion to $1.2 billion
. or by nearly three-fourths.
It appears that Congress
will be willing to accept these
cuts in revenue sharing.
The reduction of federal
revenue sharing funds will not
be disastrous for local
