COVE — Greater drug pro-
blems exist now in Chambers
County than ever before and the
Sheriff’s Department should put
more effort into curtailing them,
says Wesley King, candidate for
sheriff.
Calling for changes in Sheriff
C.E. “Chuck” Morris’ depart-
ment, King also said at ^.Thurs-
day political rally that deputies
shouldn’t be sent from one side of
the county to another in assisting
persons and areas they are un-
familiar with.
“And as far as the reserve
;(deputy) program is concerned, I
don’t agree with the number in it
or the way they work,” said King,
promising to run Morris a “hard,
clean race.” .
“I feel it (reserve deputy pro-
gram) has been set up for
political gains and, if so, it’s en-
tirely wrong for these people.”
; To this, Morris replied, “That
emphatically is not the case.”
■ He later said the reserve deputy
program is “one of the best things
that’s ever happened to
Chambers County.”
Concerning drug enforcement,
Morris said, on average, one
dealer is arrested every other
week. Last year, 222 narcotics
cases were filed.
And under the system deputies
are now working, more complete
coverage of the county is provid-
ed, with a faster response time
than ever before, Morris added.
West Chambers County
residents also met with
Democratic Primary candidates
for tax assessor-collector and
Precinct 6 constable positions.
The election date is May 5.
Tax assessor-collector can-
didates at the political rally were
Clifton Weaver, Sam Ferguson,
Conrad B. Cone, Irene Clore and
Douglas Dugat.
Sherwood Blair, who presently
holds the position, will not be
seeking re-election in 1984.
Weaver, a 36-year Brown &
Root office manager and resident
of Anahuac, said the tax assessor-
collector’s office “is a business
and should be run like
•Awarded the annual malathion
this county,” said Ferguson.
Conrad B. Cone, a Winnie con- block of Maryland,
suiting engineer, plans to con-
tinue policy now in effect, if ‘
elected, and improve the number
of those registered to vote in the
county.
Irene Clore of Anahuac, with
years of Anahuac School District
Business Office and banking ex-
perience, said, “My daddy was
the late L.R. Miller and he was
your auditor (county auditor) un-
til he was 80. And I’m only 68.”

In the Precinct 6 constable
race, incumbent Jim Curl faces
Larry Stratmann, a Beach City
store owner.
Curl says allegations Strat-
mann made against him while
campaigning are false. Strat-
mann alleged that Curl was ap-
pointed constable after precinct
boundaries changed and that Curl
is not representing the people who
elected him.
Norma “Beanie” Rowland,
county clerk, said Curl was
elected to Precinct 4 (more than
five years ago), which has since
split into two constable precincts:
Precincts 4 and 6. Tom Wright,
not Curl, was appointed by county
commissioners to serve as con-
stable.
Mayor Judy Leggett of Cove ad-
ded, “We have not had an election
since the split.”
Other discussion concerned the
full-time aspects of the constable
position.
“The salary structure is not
enough,” said Curl, a Mobay
employee. “Commissioners Court
does not intend for this to be a full-
time job. If it was, commissioners
would see fit to pay us more.
“But in any emergency I can
leave my job to take care of pro-
blems,” Curl added.
Stratmann said he would be
a available to do everything a depu-
ty could do “24 hours a day.”
“It doesn’t have to be an
emergency,” Stratmann said.
The next Chambers County
industry in the political rally will be held at 7
p.m. on March 22 in Beach City.
