Texas To Expand
Driver Education
Program In State
State Representative Jim
Clark of Pasadena today intro-
duced in the 64th Legislature,
House Bill 634 which would
provide free driver education
training to every student in Tex-
as public schools. The bill has
been endorsed by the Texas Ed-
cuation Agency and by Texas
Governor Dolph Briscoe.
"Passage of this bill would
mean that all Texas students
over the age of 15 would be
able to take driver's education. "
said Clark. ___

Of the vast number of elig-
ible young drivers in 1974, only
67 per cent were able to take
driver education courses. Many
of those who did not take the
courses were unable to because
it was un.available in the school
system or the tuition required
was prohibitively high.
A major factor for the im-
plementation of the bill is the
phasing out of Federal funding
for the-program. According to
statistics released from the Tex-
as Education Agency, matching
funds from the National Traffic
Safety Act have caused the pro-
gram to grow from 20 per cent
of Texas students in 1966 to the
current level of 67 per cent.
The Federal funds, however,
are being phased out and will
be terminated completely on
June 30, 1975. "This will mean
that Texas will suffer a drastic
reduction in the number of stu-
dents taking driver's education
unless the State immediately
absorbs the entire cost of the
program, " Clark stated.
"In any event, the current
practice of treating Driver Ed-
ucation as an optional course
and the charging of fees as much
as $50. 00 causes an undue hard-
ship 6n many lower income
families. It might even be con-
sidered discriminatory.
"The Governor considers this
bill to be integral in his overall
traffic safety program. With
the inflated cost of automobile
repairs and automobile insurance,
we need to take every step pos-
sible to insure that our young
people have the best possible
training in the vital and neces-
sary art of driving.
Grassed Waterways
Slow Down Erosion
Grassed waterways are water
courses protected from erosion
by a grass cover. They can be
natural or manmade and can
save you money whether you
live on the farm or in town.
Grassed waterways not only
serve to control water erosion
but have other productive uses.
Many of them can be used for
hay production, limied grazing,
grass seed production and for
wildlife food and cover.
On the farm, terraces and div-
ersions need protected outlets
to keep erosion from getting st-
arted. Grassed waterways can
provide this protection and save
valuable topsoil. They also ser-
ve to slow down concentrated
runoff water and prevent erosion.
If you live in town grassed
waterways save you money too.
Your tax dollars are used to clean
silt and sediment out of road
ditches, lakes, reservoirs etc
So besides keeping the topsoil
on the land for better product-
ion of food and fiber, grassed
waterways saves tax dollars.
If you live on the farm, take
a good look, protect and man-
age your waterways properly.
Or maybe there is a place for
one in your conservation plan.
Good conservation is no accid-
ent, it's planned.
If you live in town take a
good look also, and say thanks
to the farmer or rancher, he's
saving you money by practic-
ing conservation.
Multi-Sized Clothing
Patterns Available
COLLEGE STATION—Multi-
sized patterns are now available
in the U. S., one clothing spec-
ialist reported this week.
"Patterns of this kind accomo-
date figures that require two or
more sizes to fit or that are in
between regular sizes, " Marlene
Odle with the Texas Agricult-
ural Extension Service, The Tex-
as A & M University System, ex-
plained.
She said that homesewers in
Europe have been able to pur-
chase these kinds of patterns for
years, but now U. S. pattern com
panics are offering a multi-size
pattern series—each pattern in-
cludes three sizes.
"They are available in men's,
women's and children's clothing.
The big advantage to this idea
in children's clothing is that mul
tisize patterns provide room for
growth, and one pattern suits
different age brackets.
"The cost of these patterns
is slightly more than one regular
size — but more economical than
buying three patterns at the reg-
ular size, " Miss Odle said.
Oldest Most Expensive
In families of one. two or
three children, family expendi-
tures are highest when the old-
est child is about 19, according
to Dorthy Taylor , family life
education specialist with the Tex-
as Agricultural Extension Service,
The Texas AGM University System.
