ty and go anywhere, especially
south into the central and lower
parts of Texas. .. I always think to
myself "why in the world would
anybody want to live in our rela-
tively barren, practically treeless
(in comparison) desolate and un-
populated part of the country?
Why do we even want to?"
And, as I get deeper into the hill
country — the beautiful trees and
wide babbling creeks and rivers;
the rolling lush green hills, and
white stone cliffs around Austin, I
think "This is the place to be."
Austin itself is a gorgeous, mod-
ern city, at least on surface appear-
ance. Like all other big, bigger, big-
gest cities, it has a lot of rottenness
at the core ... not all of it apparent
to the eye at first glance. But,
Good Grief, Charlie Brown!!
Where in the world are they going
to put all the people and all the
CARS! I have never, and I mean
NEVER, seen such horrible traffic.
Of course, last weekend may have
been an exception, with Class A-
AAAAA state track meets, and the
Southwest Conference college
track meet, in addition, going on.
However, some Austinites we
talked to said that Austin has
outgrown its britches - population
wise - and the traffic system has
remained back in the '40's or '50’s.
How they keep from killing all
the folks foolish enough to get out
on the streets and highways, I'll
never know. I've driven in Hous-
ton (and almost had a stroke, but
that's another story), in Oklahoma
City at rush hour, and through
right downtown Dallas at 5 o'clock
in the afternoon; been to three goat-
ropin's and a chicken-neck-wrin-
gin' - -and I have never in my life
seen such a mess, or such crazy dri-
vers as they have in our capitol
city! And the city itself just goes
out every which way, seemingly
endless in whichever direction you
go. We left the University of Texas
campus, where we attended the
track meet (and watched our kids
bring home two golds and a silver
medal) and after eating lunch at
Pancho's, we headed for home. It
literally took us more than an hour
to drive from the center of the city
to the city limits! and the traffic
was just like a beehive every foot
of the way. I told the brown-eyed
spouse that I bet, looking at it from
a helicopter or at least from up in
the sky, (and surely, there must
have been Someone looking out
for us) it probably appeared like a
giant, swarming anthill!
So then, leaving the beautiful
hill country, its trees and hills and
rivers, - and its hideous swarms of
traffic — didn't seem so bad, and
after we passed Abilene and
headed North into our wide-open
spaces, the long sweet stretches of
trafficless, broad-shouldered high-
ways, and sweeping grasslands of
the Rolling Plains and foothills; the
quiet streets and familiar houses of
our little towns along the way nev-
er looked better.
Guess that's why, when I paint,
I paint the wide-open ranges and
■low hills, the windmills and

NWS Reporter
Receives Kudo
From Service
Ora Lee Frazier has been
presented a letter of appreciation,
special service award and lapel
pin from the National Weather
Service of the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration.
The agency, part of the
United States Department of
Commerce, extended recogni-
ton of 15 years of dedicated
service to Miss Frazier. She has
served as a volunteer coop-
erative weather observer.
Signed by Robert W. Manning,
chief of the Regional Cooperative
Program Section of NWS for the
Southern Region, Fort Worth, the
framed letter and citation were
presented by Jerry F. Wolfe,
regional cooperative manager,
Fort Worth.
Miss Frazier operates at her ■
home an official NWS station,
which is comprised of a U. S.
standard rain gauge and a
maximum-minimum tempera-
ture system.
"Data reported by Miss Frazier
and other volunteers is a great
contribution to the field of
meteorology and is essential for
studies prepared by agencies in
the private sector, as well as
governmental agencies. It is of
utmost importance in making
river stage forecasts and
planning flood control, Manning
said.
He added, "The National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Admin-
istration, Department of Com-
merce, and National Weather
Service congratulates Miss
Frazier for 15 years of dedicated
service and hope she finds the
work rewarding enough to
continue for many years."

decision until after the special
abee's unexpired term, which
is up in December.
Farabee said that he will
F\not withdraw his name from
' • - the ballot until after the spe-
| cial election to allow the peo-
ple to have a voice in the pro-
cess.
To ratify Saturday's deci-
sion, the committee must
meet again after Farabee
removes his name from the
ballot.
Dear Public:
The Senior Citizens, Inc. of Pa-
ducah, Texas are in need of your
help. Soon after coming into pos-
session of our two buildings, we
discovered trouble. . . the roof was
in need of repair. Having to
operate on a "shoe string" we tried
to get by with a "patch job". This
didn't work. Some of the interior
has been ruined and the only
solution is a complete NEW
ROOF. If we settle for anything
less, we stand to lose everything.
This would mean "going out of bus-
iness".
Recently we lost an element in
our oven, and it has not been re-
placed. However, it must be said
that this item is the victim of
"wrong size". The oven was built
for HOME USE. We should have
appliances made for COMMER-
CIALUSE.
We have applied to NORTEX
for a grant to help do all this. They
have granted $7,900.00 but require
that we raise a matching sum of
$3,000.00.
Many of our Senior Citizens
have responded by making contri-
butions. Their contributions have
been generous, according to their
income, but is far short of our
NEED. Those we serve, which is
over 100, responded immediately
because they know how important
this service is.
So, to keep from"going out of
business", we appeal to your gen-
erosity to supplement their giving
and NORTEX'S grant.
Gifts to Paducah Senior Cit-
izens, Inc. are tax deductible. This
invitation is to Non-residents as
well as to Local Residents. So
i
many issues of the Paducah Post
contain letters of appreciation and
love for the little town of Paducah
and how you want to see it
continue to succeed. Here's your
opportunity to help an organiza-
tion that has only one objective . .
TO SERVE OTHERS and es-
pecially the Senior Citizens.
Send your gifts to: Paducah
Senior Citizens, Inc.
Box 782
Paducah, Texas 79248
Thank you in advance for your
help. . . the sooner the better. . .
before the rains come.
Most sincerely,

zens, Inc.
