The ambulance will only
be used for emergency calls

* testants will begin on the
on the afternoon of March
8 at a reception, where each
will be interviewed by a
panel of four judges, who
will remain their judges
during the Contest to be
held that night in the High
School auditorium. Each
girl will be judged in five
categories, of 20 o/o for each
category, in appearance, per
sonality, modeling, poise,
and talent. The girls will be
graded on a scale of points
consisting of excellent - 4;
good - 3; fair - 2; and poor
1; At the reception each
girl will be examined on her
appearance, personality, and
poise, and these qualities
will remain under notice of
the judges during the Con-
test that night. The judges
reserve the right to change
any point value at their dis-
cretion at any time until
the Contest is over.
The Contest, to be em-
ceed by Mrs. Jones, will oc-
cur in three stages. Each
princess will model a street
length dress of her choice
with appropriate accessories
Next will be the talent com-
petition. Princess Rachel of
the House of Ayala will sing
a Spanish song in Spanish.
Princess Carolyn of the
House of Caddell will pro-
duce a skit. Princess Patri-
cia of the House of Colchada
will play “Only You” on the
organ. Princess Norma Lee
of the House of Galvan will
sing and dance “Raindrops
Heep Falling on mv Head”
Princess Janie of the House
of Martin will do a two-
baton dance and twirl to
“I’ll Fly Away”. Princess
Belinda of the House of San-
' hez will do a ragtime dance
to “The Etertainers”. And
Princess Cindy of the House
of Vela will act in a skit.
Then each princess will
appear on the stage in a
long dre 's of her choice, and
Mrs. Jones will ask her the
serious question of what
hapniness means to her per-
sonally. As a finale to the
Contest the princesses will 1
return to the stage, where
Mrs. Jones will present each 1
with a light - hearted situa-
tion and ask her how she ,
would re-act to it.
An important feautre of
the Contest and Coronation
will be the girl chosen to be
Miss Congeniality. She will
be elected by the contest-
tants themselves, for her
co-operation during rehear-
sals, her responses to criti-
cism, and her overall plea-
santness during the entire
process of the Contest, from
January 9th through the
crucial day of judging on
March Sth. This highly cove-
ted award has rightly been
called the highest honor to
be bestowed, because Miss
Congeniality will be chosen
by her fellow friends. I

Nothing you can do—
Do you think Bell Telephone is entitled to increase its
rates on long distance calls in the state of Texas next
month?
If the answer is no — there is nothing you can do
about it.
Although Attorney General John Hill has promised to
get a court injunction to try to stop the rate hikes, there
is no existing machinery to stop any arbitrary rate hike
by any utility on a statewide basis.
There is nothing you can do about it.
How do you like the nearly triple charges Lo-Vaca
Gathering Company has placed on its natural gas bills?
Do you appreciate the fact that these triple-decker
Lo-Vaca bills have increased your electricity bills also?
There is nothing you can do about it.
Texas is the only state where Bell can increase its
rates because there is no utilities commission to regulate
that sort of thing here.
It doesn’t take a crystal ball to analyze the state-
ments that will come from some of our legislators which
oppose a utility commission. They are: (1) “Too many
regulatory bodies already”: (2) “The legislation is puni-
tive”: (3) “It interferes with the free enterprise system”;
(4) “It would be in favor of it if it were worded differ-
ently.”
Legislators are 359 degrees off-course if they don’t
hink the public is fed up with high utility bills and arbi-
trary increases-
<">n second thought, maybe there is something you
do about it.
Write your representative or senator and tell him
how you feel.

Advertise-it's your best bet
The doomsayers are already talking us into a recess-
ion, and the media are giving them a helping hand. De-
spite a very good year in 1974, the business community
is sitting on the sidelines saying little, seemingly waiting
for instructions from all those would-be coaches.
This is where advertising comes in. There is much
talk on how the troubled economy will affec tadvertising.
Instead the talk should center on how advertising can be
used to affect the economy. Unfortunately, however, the
present situation has generated all the standard excuses
for slowing or stopping advertising.
Why advertise when we’re short of goods?
Why advertise when people are spendnig money with
us that would normally go for good they now can’t get?
Why advertise when al lour competitors are in the
same boat?
The above excuses — and many more being bandied
about all treat advertising as a way of accomplishing
objectives.
Advertising is the means of communication with the
customer to inform her of the value, quality, and depend-
ability of the merchandise sold. Consumer studies report
that direct sales response to advertised items can account
for as much as 15% of a store’s total sales. Much of the
remaining 85% of sales depends on the Traffic created by
the advertised items. Selection of the right items to ad-
vertise thus becomes extremely important if the store’s
advertising is to perform the imjiortant job of:
1. Creating increased traffic throughout the store. . .
2. Moving the advertised items in volume. . .
3. Building the store’s reputation as an excellent place
to shop. . .
A good advertising program requires good planning
and regular frequency. Ads run on a hit-or-miss basis have
little effect and will not build a customer following. Note,
for example, how the successful national chains and super-
markets bombard the consumer with a steady barrage of
hard-hitting ads every week of the year- Smart merchants
recognize they must repeat their invitation to customers
regularly in order to keep them coming!
Your customers are worrying today about shortages.
They are wondering how your shortages will affect their
life style. They are worrying about possible allotments or
rationing of what they buy from you. They are worrying
about your prices and how those prices will change their
costs. And more.
Because your customers have many other things on
their minds, they don’t always have the time (or often
the courage) to ask you the questions they should. Yet
they must know the right answers; if they don’t they are
likely' to make assumptions. Those assumptions — human
nature being what it is are likely to hurt rather than help
you. So it’s in your own best and even selfish interest to
keep your customers informed by advertising regularly,
