Surplus Property List
The State Division of De-
fense and Disaster Relief in-
formed Pearland Mayor Dar
Keller by letter last week that
a review by that agency of
Pearland's surplus property
useage was satisfactory.
"Due Io lite advei*L pub-
licity Pearland has received
recently concerning surplus
property. 1 asked the state
agency to remove Pearland
from the list of eligible cities
authorized to make pur-
chases,” Keller said last
Thursday night.
C. O. Layne,
C. O. Layne, State Coordi-
nator of Disaster Relif! in
the State Department -f Pub-
lic Safety, informed the Mayor
that his office had reviewed
selected items of property on

use of those items reviewed.
The modification of the wea-
pons earner and field ambu-
lance into tank trucks for
grass fire fighting is parti-
cularly commendable since
these vehicles were in poor

the City.” Layne told Keller.
He went on m point out that
th< dollar saving to local tax-
payers through the purchase
and utilization of these rwo
items wculd be impossible to
determine but would be very
significant.
The uproar over the sur-
plus property began some time
ig’ when cidney Barfield
questioned purchases u such
property made ->y the city.
I ayne in concluding his let-
ter te Keller, said that Pear-
Idiid w. uld be returned tv the
list < f surplus property eli-
gibles upon request of the city.
Q. - St. Augustine Grass-
Starting to turn y.llow in
spots9
A. - With tile hot weather
approaching it could be chinch
bugs are starting to invade.
Make a test by cutting out tin
bottom of a coffee can and
press it in thi yellow or dry
aria, and fill the can with
water. If chinch bugs are pre-
sent they will float to the top
of thi water. Then try the
green area next to the dry
circle, and press the can in-
to the soil a trifle and fill
the can with wate r again. The
chinch bugs will float t the
top.
If this is true, spray y-xir
lawn with Dieldrin r 50%
Malathion or 4(f Chlordane
solutions using about 2 to 3
tablespoons of insecticide to
1 gallon of water. KEEP ALL
PETS OFF THE GRASS UNTIL
THE GRASS IS DRY. Repeat
the process in 7 to 10 days,
that should be sufficient. Oc-
casionally I have used a soap
detergent, like Tide or any
such powders and sprinkle or
dust the lawn with the powder
and then water the lawn heavy.
This is harmless and keeps
the chinch bugs moving to
elsewhere. Also with the heavy
rains that we have had, the
fertilizer could also have been
leeched from the soil. I sug-
gest to feed the yellow areas.
During the hot weather now,
DON'T mow the grass too
short. Leave it. say. about
two and one half inches to
three inches tall. The strength
the roots now. Keep lawns
well-watered, also it helps to
eradicate chinch bugs.
Q. - Gardenia Bushes- Can
they be pruned back to ac-
hieve mere green leaves?
A. - Yes, you may prune
undesired branches and trim
back spindly branches to at-
tain mere foliage. Trim and
prune after the blooming,
prune after theblooming
period. Gardenias like an acid
food and I would feed them a-
application of their duties or spend
tax money we conde

only when temperatures are

like gardenias. And that's my
trouble, as the leaves are
«rripped off and it takes a
long time to bush out again.)
Q. - Texas Star - What
family do they belong to and
where can I get some seed9
A. - The Texas Star is a
member of the cotton plant and
Althea and is one of the most
profuse bloomers from now
until Fall with their trumpet-
lily type blooms. I have ne-
ver seen the Texas Star on
any of the seed racks, but you
may write directly to a seed
company. Mrs. Diggs of Pear-
land, HU 5-2526, did have
some.
In the years that I have had the privilege of voting there

believt that this indicates the will of the majority of our people
when change is wanted and the simple Christian faith that
most people seeking public office are Sincere intheir motives, I
have been able to accept my defeat. This holds true even to the
positions of school members of .ur local school system.
These men have been given their task by the majority of the
people of this town. A gigantic task it is involving millions of
dollars and thousands of individuals. Inobservingthr cvey day

morally, character and education-wise striving to do the

*'l feel this instance was
very much out of line in that
the board told the man how
and what to do,” Prensner
added. Howard had recom-
mended a plan of action on
the sum mt r program and
members of the board dis-
agreed with some of the ways
it was going to be done.
Bost pointed out that it is
the duty of the school board
to set policy for the running
’! the school and the duty
>f the superintendent to carry
out this policy.
Alien the subject of teachers
was brought up, Foster asked
how many teachers had re-
signed . Bost said there were
22 teachers who had indicated
they will not return next year
and pointed out that during the
last school year, there had
been a total of 25 teachers
who left during year.
Prensner then said this was
not a normal occurance and a
little more than average for
a school this size.
A lady in the audience who
identified herself aiMrs. Wil-
lingham asked to be recogniz-
ed. "The school board is un-
der censure here and I re-
sent it. I feel that the time
to censure these men is next
year at the polls and I'm em-
barassed by all this,” she
said.
"We arc not here to cen-
sure anyone. We just want
to work with the board in any
area we can," Foster replied.
Following thediscussion
with Foster. Bost presented
Prensner with a letter ot ap-
preciation thankiiig him for
his l>>ng tenure of service to
the Pearland schools.

*’l have done my best to
carry jut the wishis >f the
board in all instances. 1 have
done some things I did not
feel were necessary. Every
principal has indicated to me
then- has been unrest among
the teachers. This is some-
thing that has not tapper.*-d
just recently, but has built
up over a period of time
with no sizeable steps being
taken to correct these prob-
lems, but I have confidence
in the people here to let the
school do it’s work"
Prensner added.
Prensner referred par-
ticularly to an instance con-
cerning a summer recreation

M Training School
ing the past year we have
disposed of two very old ve-
hicles that were coasting a
great deal for repairs, and we
have purchased a new Ply-
mouth station wagon to be
used as a chief's car. emer-
gency vehicle and to haul some
of the protective clothing
needed around fires. Tone a-
le rt radios have been installed
in 15 volunteer firemen’s
homes.”
Now is the time to support
your Volunteer Fire Depart-
ment. Did you realize that the
men who go each year to the
Firemen’s Training School
are doing this on their own
time, and taking their vaca-
tion time from their jobs to
attend.
W. McClellan. Fire De-
partment secretary said, that
last month letters had been
sent to residents of Pearland
asking for a donation to the
Fire Department. If anyone
failed to receive one they are
asked to contribute $5 or
mere, so that ,hc. Tlii De-
partment will be able to meet
the ever-increasing operating
expenses for the coming year.
The services of the Fire De-
partment improve as they up-
grade themselves and their
equipment.
Chief Haskins said. "Your
contributions, for which wc
are very grateful, have helped
to make your Volunteer Fire
Department 3 more servic* -
able unit."
Eddie Frank Enriquez Jr., nc year old, of Pearland, had his
name changed in five minutes last Friday morning. His nick-
name had been "Curly” but with the help of his mother and his
uncle Paul Castillo, who is a barber at Larry's Barber Shop,
his name was changed to "Butch” just by reason of a haircut.
The occasion was Eddie's first birthday anil lie was real good.
The only thing he didn't like u >.’ut the wh.de business was get-
ting his short hair combed after the cut. Lddie is the son of
PFC and Mrs. i‘. F. Enriquez of Pearland. His Daddy hasn’t
seen Eddie since he was six i onths eld. He is serving with the
U. S. Army in Vietnam. Eddie has a sister. Debra, two years
old. His grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Enriquez of
Pearland.
