The Burleson Police
Department was the scene
for a meeting Tuesday
night of the North Texas
Communications Assoc-
iation.
The local police de-
partment hosted the
meeting of various law
enforcement officials and
dispatchers which feat-
ured talks by police
officials on law enforce-
ment operations.
Public Relations Di-
rector for the Ft. Worth
Police Department, Tom
Stevenson, explained the
Ft. Worth Police Depart-
ment’s new anti-theft
program, Operation Pink.
Stevenson lives in Bur-
leson.
Helping host the ses-
sion was past president
of the NTCA, Dorrita El-
ston. She is the dis-
patcher for the Burleson
Police Department.
BURLESON ALL STATE BAND MEMBERS?--
Hardly. In fact music may never again be the same
anywhere after it was kicked and beat around Satur-
day night by the Starvation Army Band. These dis-
chordant sounds and sour notes by a combined facul-
ty group happened during the BCTA annual "cry out"
affair.
Heavy?
Jupiter is 1,000 times larger
than Earth and has more than
twice the mass of all the other
planets in the solar system com-
bined.
WATCH OUT LAKERS—Here come the Frazier
Flubbers getting ready for the next expansion
of the National Basketball Association. In the
meantime they displayed their basketball talents
to the delight of the crowd attending the Burleson

wild. It ranged from
comedy skits on women’s
lib and the Harlem Globe-
trotters to a sensational
twirling routine with
swords and from the ex-
ceptional musical talents
displayed by several
singing acts to the not so
exceptional musical tal-
ents displayed by a com-
ical faculty group, the
Starvation Army Band.
If some of the teachers
have a hard time facing
each other and their stu-
dents for awhile follow-
ing their night of hilarity,
at least they know it was
all done for a worthy
cause.
The scholarships are
awarded to students who
would not otherwise re-
ceive any financial aid
with which to further their
education.
Financial need is not
the only criterion, how-
every, by which the
scholarships are award-
ed. Students are individ-
ually assessed by a com-
mittee of the BCTA on a
combination of their need,
character, and grades.
If a recipient receives
and chooses to accept an-
other scholarship in-
stead, then his scholar-
ship is transferred to the
committee’s second se-
ection.
All senior students,
married or single, are
elgible for these awards
providing they fill out and
submit the proper appli-
cation.
It’s a refreshing change
from the times in which I
went to school. Back then
when the teachers would
"cry out" it was general-
ly "at’ you instead of "for’
r you. •-

Their fourth annual
show in the "cry out"
series, entitled "Cry Out
Again", netted almost en-
ough money to pay for one
of these scholarships.
It was a variety show in
the truest sense. One al-
most expected to see Ed
Sullivan appear on stage
at the end of every act.
Chris Gomez from the
high school did another
fine job as emcee, though,
and his Spanish is almost
certainly better than Sul-
livan’s.

The Burleson Class-
room Teachers Associa-
tion "cried out" again
Saturday night but it
wasn't just a cry in the
darkness as far as two
fortunate Burleson High
School seniors are con-
cerned.
Profits derived from
their yearly spring ex-
travaganza and their fall
auction sale are used to
provide funds for two $250
scholarships given each
year to deserving Bur-
leson students.

Who says you can't take
it with you? If you're
camping you can.
It was cold and rainy
that night and in one way I
was glad we had taken that
electric blanket with us. I
couldn’t keep from think-
ing, though, about how
well-grounded we must
have been on that con-
crete slab in the rain.
We woke up neither
fried nor toasted, though,
and had a lot of fun that
morning sloshing through
mud.
The next day I made
my first visit to Lake
Whitney State Park. It's
one of the great ones for
recreation.
All types of water
sports are available
there. There are no size
limitations on boats or
motors. The lake extends
45 river miles down the
Brazos.
Being a larger park,
they have more camping
space and shelters, too.
Some of these shelters
are situated on a high
point overlooking the lake
and offer a spendid view
of the lake and surround-
ing countryside.
If flying is your thing,
there is even an airport
at the park. I’m not sure
if they offer limosine ser-
vice to the waterfront or
not.
The beach looks to be
a very good one. It was
still a little chilly for me
to attempt to find out first
hand. We did walk over a
good portion of the park.
It is not as brushy as
Cleburne is and there
didn't seem to be nearly
as many trails to walk on.
The lake has a pretty
shoreline and it makes a
nice walk along the part
of the park that borders
on the water.
We're making plans
an electric now to go camping there
toaster, two within a few weeks. First
thing you know, I'll be
the ene in the camper
holding up traffic on some
winding road. That is, if
I ever get around the one
that’s sure to be in front
of me.

B.C.T.A. OFFICERS—What appears to be a delagation
to a women's lib convention is actually the new slate
of officers for the Burleson Classroom Teachers As-
sociation. Shown seated are (1-r) Jan Paxston, Kathy
Stewart, Janet Engquest, and Barbara Black. Stand-
ing are Letha Grace McCoy, Marjorie Drury, Iris
Burns, Liz Shepard, Lillie Sanders, and Grimes For-
tenberry. Another male officer, Terry Ford was not
present at the time. Related story on this page.

SERVICE that Counts."

At first I only noticed
there always seemed to
be one of them in front
of me when I was in a
hurry driving down a
winding, hilly road—the
kind with the constant yel-
low line in your lane.
Now it has reached the
point where on weekends
the campers and trailers
outnumber the cars on
the highways.
Camping has come to be
the number one outdoor
recreational past time to
eutintless Texans. It still
seems to be growing in
popularity, too.
There are a number of
places within a short
driving distance of Bur-
leson that have excellent
campground facilities.
We decided to take ad-
vantage of one of them
a few weeks ago.
We chose Cleburne
State Park and one of
their screened shelters. I
had never paid too much
attention to these before
but they are really nice.
They measure about 16
feet square and inside
they have a picnic table
and benches. Water and
electricity are also pro-
vided.
The cost is only $3.50
per night but advance res-
ervations are required.
In some parks the shel-
ters are enclosed on two
sides but at Cleburne the
screen goes all the way
around beginning about
three feet from the floor.
There were six of us
and the shelter would have
easily have slept another
six more. There is a
limit, though, of three
vehicles per shelter.
We didn't exactly rough
it in the truest Davey
Crockett fashion. We took
along a few things that
might not have been ab-
solutely essential. Things
such as an electric
blanket, a i
electric skillets (teflon,
of course), and an elec-
tric heater.
I thought that perhaps
we had overdone it just
a little bit until I saw the
TV antenna next door.
