LLOYD DOGGETT knows that when our agricultural
producers are paid a fair price for their products, it brings
prosperity not only to our small town merchants but to our
entire state and the U.S. economy in general. And he says,
"The mismanagement of the farm program is a national
scandal. We don’t ask any other segment of our economy
to sell their products for less than what it costs to produce
them, but current farm policies have done that for three years
running and still cost U.S. taxpayers six times more last
year than the average farm program costs throughout the
entire decade of the '70s. When our farmers are paid a fair
price, the rural economy will boom and it will cost taxpayers
much less.”

Fall Brings Colored Leaves
A quiet revolution takes
•place every fall. Slowly
but surely, leaves of trees
and shrubs become a riot
of red, purple, orange and
yellow for spectacular fall
displays. It's all tied to
chemical processes in leaves
as the summer season gives
way to fall and the approach-
ing winter, notes a forestry
specialist with the Texas Ag-
ricultural Extension Service.
Changes in temperatures
and daylight hours cause the
chlorophyll—the green pig-
ment in leaves--to break
down, allowing other pig-
ments, mainly yellows and
oranges, to become more
visible. Leaf colors can
vary due to weather condi-
tions and the amount of pig-
ments in leaves.
Lloyd will fight for a 1985 Farm Bill that will get a handle
on overproduction and assure our family farmers of at least
recovering their production costs and give them a chance
to make a fair profit.
He supports reasonable debt restructuring and a morato-
rium on farm foreclosures by FmHA until fair price and
production policies can be put into place.
In the Texas Legislature, he fought to grant property tax
relief to family farmers and ranchers and to deny the relief
to giant corporations and land speculators. In the U.S. Senate,
he will continue fighting to eliminate tax breaks that give
agribusiness conglomerates, “pinstripe farmers” and land
speculators a competitive advantage over our farmers and
ranchers who aren’t in a position to “farm the tax code.”
Lloyd authored the Resolution of the Texas Senate to veto
a nuclear waste dump in the farmland of the Panhandle.
Lloyd Doggett is the only candidate in this race who has
ever had a vote against gun control and he will continue
in the U.S. Senate to oppose gun control.

"Becoming a Christian
Feminist" was the program
given by Carolyn Rapstine
for the October 9th meet-
ing of the Sacred Heart
Altar Society.
In her presentation, Mrs.
Rapstine stated, "By study-
ing the woman mystics in
the Catholic Church, like
Catherine of Siena and St.
Teresa of Avila, one can
understand that a woman
who is a mystic has to be
a feminist. A woman who
is a mystic moves authent-
ically and creatively with
intense loving. St. Cath-
erine of Siena was a 14th
Century mystic who radic-
ally influenced Popes and
Princes. St. Teresa of
Avila was a 16th Century
Spanish mystic who has be-
come a Doctor of the Church.
She reformed the Carmelite
Order in the 1500's after
she spent twenty years of
suffering, pain and inauthent-
ic living. How would it be
to spend twenty years in
a calling, a marriage, a
profession, in a situation
(the best years of our lives)
knowing that deep down
that vocation, calling or
marriage was not authentic--
because our motivation was
not genuine?

vent out of fear and honor,

age of 40, she experienced
a conversion and was a
changed woman. She was
40 years old and just be-
ginning her ministry, St.
Teresa died at the age of
68 but had many accomp-
lishments. She’moved
deeply within herself in
prayer and experienced an
immediate communion in-
timate with God and was
aware of God speaking to
her. God tells her how to
move within her life. She
responded and led a remark-
able active life. She es-
tablished the first house of
St. Joseph in Avila, Spain.
•She was a clever and able
woman who won approval
for a reformed order of the
Carmelites. She founded
17 monasteries for women
and several for men in the
most primitive conditions,
working with no money.
With only a 6th grade ed-
ucation, she was directed to
write her experiences. Her
writings were the finest in
the Spanish language. She
was a literary stylist and a
model of prose writings.
"The Interior Castle", her
greatest writing, which is
a masterpiece of Christian
mystical literature.
"St. Teresa herself be-
came a moving active pray-
er. She became her own
person through God's inspir-

ation. She depended only
on God, moved outwardly
into identifible action and
inwardly in prayer.
"The mystics among us
today are--Dorothy Day of
the Catholic Workers Move-
ment; Simon Weil, a French
philosopher who was involv-
ed in the workers move-
ment in-France; Edith Styme,
a Jewish woman who was
executed by the Nazis; and
Mother Teresa, who was
40 years old before she was
transformed and called to
work among the poorest of
poor. These women strength-
en our hope. They didn't
sit back and wait for a vis-
ion of hope to be handed
to them--they worked with-
in—moving creatively, be-
coming the person God call-
ed them to be. "
Mrs. Rapstine gave this
program from a meeting
she attended at the Church
Affairs Commission Work-
shop at the National Coun-
cil of Catholic Women in
Denver in 1983.
Other business included

PHIL GRAMM and two big-city Republicans were the only
Texas Congressmen this year to support the Dannemeyer
amendment designed to gut agriculture. In voting for the
Dannemeyer amendment, Gramm in one stroke voted to:
• Slash agricultural price supports and eliminate deficiency
payments.
• Reduce federal price support payments and loans to farmers
by $16 billion (60%) over three years.
• Phase out farm ownership and operating loans by the
Farmers Home Administration and replace them with loan
guarantees.
• Eliminate the wool and mohair payment program.
Gramm and a Dallas Republican were the only two
members of the Texas delegation to oppose, on March 15
of this year, the Small Business Authorization bill which
gave the S.B.A. the authority to make disaster loans to Texas
farmers and ranchers being wiped out by the disastrous,
ongoing drought.
On Sept. 9, 1982, when he was still calling himself a
“Democrat,” Gramm voted against allowing farmers to defer
their FmHA loan payment if they could prove they were
in trouble due to circumstances beyond their control. Gramm
was one of only 39 who opposed the bill; 372 voted for
it! X
On June 6 of this year, Gramm voted for an amendment
to slash the Agricultural Research Service, the Extension
Service and a variety of other vital federal/state research
programs.
Gramm, who has received more money from the nuclear
power industry than any other Congressman, even voted to
weaken Texas’ right to veto a nuclear waste dump in the
farmland of the Panhandle.
“Lloyd Doggett is the best thing to hit
rural Texas since twist-off caps.”
