Vamos a hablar de la popu-
laridad. En el caso de una
muchacha sabemos el grado
de popularidad por el numero
de pretendientes y las muchas
fiestas a 1^ cuales la invitan.
En un mtichacho la populari-
dad se mide por su numero de
amigos y amigas que festejan
sus chistes o sus triunfos de-
portivos o su estilo para bail-
ar. Podemos decir que la edad
de la espinilla es la edad de
la popularidad y que una vez
que se va la juventud es muy
dificil ser popular, porque
esto significa que hay que ser-
lo en los negocios y en las
cosas trascendentales y estos
no se prestan a concursos.
Tratandose de negocios el
individuo se ve forzado a to-
mar medidas que por muy bue-
nas que sean para el negocio,
en la mayor parte de los ca-
ses no son populares con sus
empleados y tiene que ganarse
la popularidad a base de me-
jorar las condiciones de ellos,
en otras palabra comprarla.
En el caso de un gobierno,
con mas facilidad pierde el
individuo su popularidad. Casi
siempre lo que mejora a unos
empeora a otros o por lo men-
os hace que nazca la envidia y
los ataques al gobierno no se
hacen esperar. Cuantes veces
escuchamos frases como esta:
"el Presidente no sabe lo que
anda haciendo", "el Secre-

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
MEETING, THURSDAY
NOVEMBER 30, 1967
Referendum
On Cotton
Quotas l^ear
The referendum to decide
whether quotas will be in effect
for the 1968 upland and long-sta-
ple cotton crops will be held in
the first week of D e c e m b e r,
according to W. Lewis David,
state executive director of the
Agricultural Stabilization & Con-
servation Service.
If long-staple cotton growers
approve the ballot, price support
will be available to those who do
not exceed their 1968 allotments.
If disapproved, cotton acreage
allotments without marketing
quotas will remain in effect, and
price-'support loans to growers
who do not exceed their acreage
allotments will be limited to 50
per cent of parity, as approved
by law.
Approval of quotas for the 1968
crop of Upland cotton will
enable the cotton program to
provide loans and payments to
growers who voluntarily reduce
their cotton plantings below the
farm allotments.
If quotas are not approved,
there will be no quotas or penal-
ties, no diversion payments, no
price-support payments and no
export market acreage reserve.
However the regular acreage
allotment program will remain
in effect and price support loans'
to growers who do not exceed
their farm cotton allotments will
be limited to 50 per cent parity.
The Secretary of Agriculture
is required by law to proclaim
marketing quotas if the total
supply of Upland and long-staple
cotton is more than the normal
supply. Such a proclamation for
the 1968 crop has been made by
Secretary Orville Freeman.
The acreage allotment was set
at 16 million acres—the smallest
permitted under the law; and
additional 200,000 acres was pro-
vided as a national reserve to
take care of minimum farm
allotments.
The Water Rights Adjudica-
tion Act, effective August 28,
1967, provides that all claims
of water rights must be recor-
ded with the Water Rights
Commission. These claims
must be valid under existing
law and will be limited to act-
ual use. All water rights are
to be adjudicated and adminis-
tered by the Commission "to
the end that the surface water
resources of the State may be
put to their greatest beneficial
use, " to quote the new law.
This Act will not affect us-
ers of ground water. Users of
surface water for domestic or
livestock purposes only also
will not be affected. The new
law applies to and may limit
claims to riparian waters, wa-
ters diverted or impounded for
use other than for domestic
and livestock purposes, ". ...
claims to water rights under
the Irrigation Acts of 1889 and
1895 which were not filed with
the State Board of Water En-
gineers in accordance with the
Irrigation Act of 1913, as a-
mended... " and all other
claims to water rights for
which permits or certified
filings have not been granted.
Only the maximum volume
of water beneficially used by
claimants during any one year
from 1963 to 1967, inclusive,
will be recognized under the
new law. If an individual has
expanded his water application
facilities prior to this Act but
has not fully used the facili-
ties, the volume used without
waste from 1963 to 1970, in-
clusive, will be recognized.
These individuals will need
to file an additional sworn
statement on or before July 1,
1971, to include the additional
two years.

Roy, N. M. -Roy football
coach Ken Willis says some
of the praise for his 1967 New
Mexico Class C prep football
champion Longhorns should to
to his predecessor.
'I think the championship
was handed to me, " said Will-
is, in his first year, after Roy
spanked Cloudcroft 33-7 Fri-
day night for the title.
Willis replaced Royce Sturtz
at the start of this season.
Now Dell City Coach, Sturtz

most of the interior woodwork
and decoration was done by
him.

Texas Water Commission
Announces New Water Rights Act
The Texas Water Rights Commission announced that it has be-
gun distribution of reporting forms required by the Water Rights
Adjudication Act of 1967.
Persons using public surface water in Texas for any purpose other
than for domestic or livestock uses without a permit are required
by recent legislative action to file a sworn statement with the
Texas Water Rights Commission for recognition of their claim.
This must be done no later than September 1, 1969.
Water authorities have ex-
plained there will never be
enough water in Texas for each
individual to have an equal
share. Therefore, available
public waters must be appro-
priated to individuals based
on priority, necessity and le-
gal right. The W ater Rights
Adjudication Act is designed
to protect the rightful users of
public waters from waste and
unlawful users.
The Act empowers the
Commission to adjudicate wa-
ter rights in the State. Adju-
dication of a stream may be
initiated upon the Commiss-
ion’s own motion, by a pe-
tition signed by ten or more
claimants of water rights on
tire same stream,-of upon a
petition by the Texas Water
Development Board.
The new law contains de-
tailed procedures to insure
due process and notice. Ju-
dicial review of the Comm-
ission's final determination is
mandatory.
The eventual determination
in every water right adjudica-
tion will be final. The Water
Rights Adjudication Act pro-
vides, "Except for domestic
and livestock purposes or
rights subsequently acquired
by permit, no water rights
shall be recognized in the ad-
judicated stream or segment
unless included in the final
decree. "
Upon final determination of
water rights on a streami,
the commission will issue a
certificate of adjudication to
each person found to have a
water right. All permits for
unappropriated water granted
after a stream is adjudicated
