Neal came before the com-
mission to request that he be
allowed to expand his office
to encompass the present
Social Security office by tak-
ing out a wall.
"There’s no way I can do
without more office space.
I’ve added extra furniture
since I last came to the com-
mission with this request and
we really need space because
of requirements for storage
of docket materials. Storage
is a problem and access and
privacy for people is even
more of a problem.
Patrolmen also need
someplace to work to check
their cases. The current
Social Security office is only
being used one day per week
and I feel like that is good
space going to waste," stated
Neal.
Commissioners discussed
the possibility of having
Social Security represen-
tatives work out of the county
welfare office and consulted
with Earlene Cook from the
welfare office on that
possibility.
She advised commissioners
that although the arrange-
ment would make for some
inconveniences for her office,
she felt the Social Security
services and other programs
are needed in the county, and
added that such an arrange-
ment on a temporary basis
would not present a major
problem.
Commissioners then gave
their approval to an expan-
sion of the present justice
court offices after election
day, as the area will be used
for balloting on Nov. 4.

the event an additional cor-

employment.

The Lions Club promotion of the Hi-Plains Eye Bank has
paid big dividends, again, according to Dyal Garner,
Hereford director of the eye bank. A pair of eyes were
donated recently and successful transplants were realized
for two blind persons.
Garner wants to express appreciation to the Deaf Smith
County Sheriff s Department for their help and cooperation
in getting the eyes to Amarillo. Time is of the essence in such
cases, and Garner said the local sheriff’s department, along
with the Potter and Randall departments, helped make a
uuick transfer in the recent case.

We join thousands of other Texans in expressing our
satisfaction with the innocent verdict rendered by the jury in
the so-called Brilab case. House Speaker Bill Clayton has
perhaps suffered irreparable damage to his political career
because of the attempt by the federal bureaucracy to involve
itself in politics.
After six weeks of testimony and hearing transcripts,
jurors decided they believed Clayton and others were inno-
cent victims of a trap set by the FBI. The federal government
in Washington needs to take a look at the sham and crime in-
volved in the overstaffed, overstuffed, over-paid bureaus
before it wanders out into the hinterlands to try and cut the
throat of prominent people in state government.
Naturally, it is the role of the FBI to investigate and build
cases against individuals when evidence points to a wrongdo-
ing But when an eager U.S. attorney can pick out some thugs
seeking time off for good behavior and select any prominent
official, entrap them, smear them, cost them thousands of
dollars in attorney fees in an attempt to destroy their in-
fluence, this country needs to re-evaluate its direction of law
enforcement.
