cording to L. Gray Beck,
president.
This does not include 32 ex-
changes in Louisiana sold
March 1 to Century Telephone
Enterprises, Inc., of Monroe,
La. Five Texas exchanges were
added to General Telephone's
ownership in the sale-trade
agreement.
The budget is 10.4 percent
higher than in 1971 and 32.9
percent higher than 1970.
"Our present charges for
service are not sufficient to
financially support this sizeable
budget, and without rate ad-
justments the company cannot
continue its construction
program at this level," Beck
said.
The 1972 expenditures include
providing Direct Distance
Dialing (DDD) or 1 plus and 0
plus calling for 17 exchanges,
Extended Area Service (EAS)
between 18 cities, Metro calling
in 10 cities surrounding the
Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston
areas, and Touch Calling in 11
exchanges.
He pointed out that the largest
portion of the construction
budget is $35 million which
includes continuation of the
various Metro calling plans,
additions to existing offices,
equipment additions that
automatically ticket long
distance calls and check the
accuracy of the dialed digits
and central office equipment for
the Dallas Fort Worth Regional
Airport Communications
Center.
Beck said $1.5 million is
budgeted to replace mechanical
offices with the faster and more
efficient electronic equipment.
Another major construction
area is for facilities located
outside the central offices
(outside plant) where $29.3
million is budgeted. This por-
tion of the budget includes 25
jobs to upgrade rural party line
service from eight-party to
four-party and 44 projects to
expand or add to existing long
distance and EAS circuits.
The outside plant budget also
includes outlays to meet
growth, service improvement
and routine jobs, most of which
arc directly related to the in-

AUSTIN — Leaders of both
Democratic and Republican
state parties will meet March 13
for major decisions as well as
routine housekeeping duties.
Texas law requires executive
committees of political parties
on that date to certify statewide
candidates, set ratios for state
convention delegate selection,
fix hours and sites for June J3
and September 19 state con-
ventions and select a place to
canvass May 6 primary returns.
National GOP Com-
mitteeman Peter O'Donneli Jr.
gave Republicans something
else to think about when he
unexpectedly submitted his
resignation, the vacancy to be
filled at the statutory R.E.C.
Mrs. Jeaney Edwards had a
party in the home of her mother
Thursday afternoon, then went
on to Dallas for the convention
where she won a free trip to
Acapulco, Mex. and a gold
cadillac car to drive for thirty
days. This makes four months
she has won the car.

R&nda and Holly visited John

State Rep. Fred Agnich of
Dallas is the overwhelming
choice to succeed O'Donneli as
committeeman, and may get
the job unopposed.
Time is also getting close for
Republicans to adopt a formal
set of written rules for operation
of party conventions and
regular operations, although
that is considered no great
problem for the GOP.
Rules writing is a problem of
major proportions for
Democrats. April 6 is the
deadline under new state law
for the parties to submit their
rules drafts to the secretary of
state.
Democrats are expected to
make a choice at the March 13
meeting between a set of reform
rules drawn under direction of
William R. Anderson Jr. of
Corpus Christi and a watered-
down draft which opponents

Savings Bonds
Goal for '72
Is $80,000
According to Mr. Wayne
Smith, Chairman of the
Stonewall County Savings
Bonds Committee, the 1972
Savings Bond goal for the
County is $80,000. January sales
of E and H United States
Savings Bonds totaled $3,902 for
5 percent of the sales goal.
The 1972 sales goal for Texas
is $202.3 million. During the
month sales were $19,365,593
compared to January 1971 sales
of $17,375,765 — an increase of
11.4 percent.
The Department of The
Treasury announced that
during January there were new
purchases of Series E and H
Bonds amounting to $521
million, 21.3 percent above
January a year ago. Exchanges
of Series E for Series H Bonds
totaling $28 million were
reported for January — 39
percent above the $20 million
exchanged in January 1971.
crease in numnber of
telephones served.
The land and buildings por-
tion of the construction budget
totals $9.3 million and includes
seven land purchases, 14 new
central office buildings, 26
additions to existing central
office buildings, four new
service centers and one
warehouse complex.
Other construction budget
items include $28.3 million for
private automatic branch ex-
change equipment, telephones,
labor and materials to connect
the customer's telephones to the
service lines, plus vehicles,
furniture and fixtures, and tools
and work equipment.
Beck said a gain of 75,000
telephones is expected during
1972, bringing the estimated
year-end total to 970,086. The
number of employees is ex-
pected to increase by 600.
"Other expense items not
included in the construction
budget are also expected to
increase," Beck said. "Total
taxes are expected to increase
$2 million to $23 million and
fixed charges or interest on
borrowed capital are expected
to go from $15.3 million to $17.8
million."

Now is the time for dormant
spraying. Dormant spray is
simply a spray that is applied
while plants are dormant. That
is while non-evergreens are
bare and before evergreens
have started new growth.
During the dormant period
plants can tolerate stronger
spray than when active in
growth.
Many hard shelled scale
insects pass the winter on
Twiggs, others in egg stage on
buds, twigs and trunks. If you
kill these pests before they get a
chance to hatch, you can
prevent serious outbreaks.
Dormant spray will protect
all fruit trees from scale, peach
leaf curl, cherry aphids, mites
and others. It will also protect
ornamentals such as, ar-
borvitae, lilacs, evergreens and
dozens of others.
Dormant sprays should be
applied now or before buds
show green. At this time insects
are more vulnerable. Never
apply dormant oil sprays when
the temperature is below 4
degrees nor in the late af-
ternoon when there is a
possibility that the temperature
will drop down to 32 degrees
