mation as the time goes by. One
project that will have to be given
time on this meeting is the installa-

short time to work. In any condi-
tion the ballot is our priviledge and
duty to exercise our constitutional
rights. VOTE!

4. at 4:21 a m., when fire. E M S
and police were called to a one
vehicle rollovcron l-35 north bound
where it overpasses 117. Appar-
ently the driver of this vehicle failed
to negotiate the overpass and exited
the freeway just south of the cast
side guardrail In an attempt to
regain control of the vehicle, he
veered left striking the outside of
the cast guard rail. The car re-
bounded to the right and flipped
over on its way to the bottom of the
overpass, coming to rest on all four
tires. Although the vehicle sustained
major damage, the driver was able
to walk away and left the scene
The next morning on May 5. at
5:21 a m.. Dilley fire fighters were

A request has been received for
the Post and Auxiliary Unit to host

posal in this area. So, like the
meeting in May the Post Home will
be used for this dispursement of
information to the community. Our
know ledge of the subject is slight
Therefore, you w ill have to attend
this meeting to learn what is going

community will have to provide
answers for. Belter be there
This work cannot be closed with-
out a word or volume on the MIA/
POW problem. The elected offi-
cials still cannot understand why
the Veteran Organizations, the
friends of those not returning, the
families of those still missing from
the dinner table arc not salified
with the answers issued from the
"village in the mud flat on the
Potomac." We. the people, arc not
going to let this problem be shoved
under the "rug". We will not forget.
Bill Rumfield and Chuck and Mike
Carroll for their much needed as-
sistance -—they put the poles up!
Thanks neighbors. Tony your as-
sistance was appreciated also.
The delegates to Boy State will
take offfor Austin very soon. Sev-
eral families of the Post have re-
ceived invitations for the Com-
mencement at West Point. The

late Warren on hisacomplishmcnt.
