(Special)— In Deaf Smith
County. how important a role
does installment credit play in
consumer spending for goods
and services?
How large a debt load are
local families carrying? How
well are they managing it?
The great majority appear to
be in good shape. Because of
their concern over inflation, fuel
conditions, unemployment and
other aspects of the economy,
they have been keeping their
expenditures within bounds
lately while watching develop
ments.
As a result, their debt has
stayed at a manageable level
and their credit in good shape.
Nationally, according to the
latest figures from the Federal
Reserve Board, the American
Bankers Association and others,
the amount of installment debt
outstanding is over $147 billion,
with more than one-third of it
consisting of automobile loans.
What this means, for the
overall population, is that its
consumer debt represents
one-seventh, approximately, of
its net, after-tax income.
In Deaf Smith County, on the
basis of local income and
spending figures and the
national findings, its outstand

Public Law 93-82. enacted by
the Congress on August 2, 1973,
authorized a program to provide
medical care for the dependents
and survivors of certain disabled
veterans. According to Benny
Womble, Veterans Service
Officer for Deaf Smith County,
many eligible persons are not
taking advantage of their
entitlement under the program,
known as Civilian Health and
Medical Program of the
Veterans Administration
(CHAMPVA).
Eligible to participate in this
cost-sharing medical care pro-
gram is the spouse or child of a
veteran who is permanently and
totally disabled because of
disabilities which were incurred
during military service. Also
eligible is the surviving spouse
or child of a veteran whose
death was caused by a
service-connected disability.
Persons eligible under this
program are provided with
medical care identical to that

furnished to the military retiree
and his dependents and
supervisors under the Civilian
Health and Medical Program of
the Uniformed Services
(CHAMPUS). The reimburse-
ment claims made by eligible
participants are handled by the
Mutual of Omaha Insurance
Company, the Fiscal Agent for
Texas. For inpatient care in a
civilian hospital, an eligible
person may pay 25 per cent of
the total cost, and CHAMPVA
will pay the remaining 75 per
cent. There is an annual
outpatient deductible amount of
$50 for one person and $100 per
family. After the deductible is
met, CHAMPVA will provide
reimbursement of 75 per cent of
the total cost of outpatient care,
including drugs and medicines.

During your vacation to
the beach or lake this sum-
mer an interesting pastime
might be a study of the
clouds day by day.
For example, very high
cirrus clouds will often in-
dicate the approach of a
warm front, which brings
with it rain. But the higher
the typical summer cumulus
clouds, separated white
puffs moving gently along in
a summer sky, the better the
weather is likely to be.
If the sky is cloudless
with barometer high and
steady and wind from the
west, then good weather
should be ahead. If the typi-
cal summer cumulous clouds
form low to the ground and
get even lower, then rain
will probably occur during
the day.
The summer cloud puffs
are formed as air rises and
contracts, thereby increas-
ing the percentage of mois-
ture in the air. When it in-
creases enough, the mois-
ture changes into tiny
particles, which change the
air to visible air—a cloud.
If this occurs low to the sur-
face of the earth, it’s an in-
dication that the moisture
content of the air is great—
thus a greater chance of ram
from the clouds during the
day.

ing debt load comes to an
estimated $1,600 per family.
That is the local average
Some families owe considerably
more than that and others
considerably less. Many buy for
cash and have no installment
debt at all.
For the Deaf Smith County
population as a whole, the debt
adds up to approximately
$9,194,000.
In addition to the amount
owed for cars, which is the
largest single item, it covers
personal loans, loans for home
repair and modernization and
The funeral of John Sims,
former Hereford resident who
died at his home in Lubbock
Tuesday night, was being
planned Wednesday at
Lubbock. Mr. Sims was district
manager of Pioneer Natural Gas
Co. in the Hereford office for
several years before he was
transferred to Midland in 1966.
After two years there he went
to Lubbock as district manager
and had lived in that city since.
He came to Hereford from
Slaton.
In addition to his wife,
Dixiebell, he is survived by a
son, Taylor Sims of Odessa, and
three grandchildren.
