One amendment expected to draw
plenty of local support is Proposition
No 19, which would allow the state to
issue up to $500 million in general
obligation bonds to help fund the

CSF. a non-profit organization
which is not affiliated with any other
organization, works to alleviate
some of the hunger and need of the
community’s less fortunate during
the Christmas season
CSF is funded solely through the
donations of individuals in Hereford
and Deaf Smith County and is ad-
ministered by a committee of 15
anonymous individuals who repre-
sent a broad cross-section of the
community
Those proceeds eventually helped
130 households and a total of 638 in-
dividuals to have a brighter

Applicants need to have proof of
Deaf Smith County residence—some
description of where they live and
not just a box number A driver’s
license, bill, tai ball. ID card or
something with their local address
on it, from a source other than
themself will be necessary," said
the CSF spokeswoman
A Hereford woman who initiated
a class-action lawsuit against Deaf
Smith County for discrimination in
hiring practices four years ago
said she disagrees with local
residents who claim they are now
being discriminated against
"it’s not discrimination," said
Cecilia Garza, who received an
$8,000 settlement from Deaf Smith
County because of hiring practices
that were ruled discriminatory by
U.S. District Judge Mary Lou
Robinsun. "I really don’t think
they got stiff enough penalties for
using and pushing drugs
"What really makes me mad is
that we have a nine-year-old boy
out there in the cemetery that's
dead because of drugs How many
kids have to be killed to stop the
drug use in Hereford’
" "ra f "want niy'kids to be a
statistic "
Garza said she sued not for
herself, but for my race, and for
better living and working condi-
tions for my children When I was
growing up. there were signs on
the sidewalks that said "No Mex-
icans Allowed.” I didn't want my
kids to grow up with that "
Garza said things have changed
for the better in Hereford since she
filed her suit four years ago
Before. I didn't feel that a Mex-
ican with an education could get a
decent job in Hereford Now. I
think I have helped the Hispanics
here have a better future They
can have it, if they want it.
I don't feel discrimination
anymore, not like I used to. I used
"I would like to see the district
attorney (Roland Saul) see if they
can't make them let these people
loose somewhere else when they
are released from prison I really
don't want them back here. I sure
don't want them back here,
pushing drugs to my kids."
I'm not being treated like I used to
be treated."
One area of concern to Garza, a
mother of four, is the continuing
high dropout rate among Hispanic
students in the Hereford schools.
She lay s the blame on the parents
We need more parental in-
volvement with their kids in
school Parents need to be sure
their parents do their homework
Parents need to join the PTO. talk
to their teachers, get to know the
teachers, show the teachers you
care about your kids and about the
teachers
"Everyone should want their
kids to have it better than they did
If the parents don't care, the kids
won't care The parents need to get
Police have busy Friday
Eight persons, including five juveniles, were arrested Friday by
Hereford police. who also covered 16 other incidents
The arrests include a boy. 17. who was arrested for minor in con-
grade school we had this class,
taught by James Rosie Bates,
who taught us to enjoy reading
plays and even encouraged us to
write and produce our own
plays." Gilliland said "For some
reason I always ended up being
director ”
Bates continued to encourage
the aspiring actress through the
school plays he presented and
trips he sponsored to West Texas
State University where the small
town children were given a taste
of the world through live theater
The extensive number of applica-
turns and the lack of funds mean an
application by an individual does not
guarantee that assistance will be
received from CSF." she said
Applications for CSF assistance
Garza doesn't have an easy cure
for the drug problem. and says she
doesn't feel there was any
discrimination involved in the ar-
rests or sentencing concerning the
massive drug bust two years ago
"They were caught with the
goods, and they should have been
arrested. It makes me mad that
people feel they were being
discriminated against because
they were arrested.
County accepts grant
Acceptance of a federal grant through the state's Criminal Justice
system topped the short agenda when Deaf Smth County Commis-
sioners meet Friday morning
The grant money, totaling 313 342, will be matched by county funds
to purchase a computer system for District Attorney Roland Saul's
office
The county Red Cross office pro-
vides office space and accepts ap-
plications for the program
Applications for the 1967 CSF cam-
paign will be accepted from Monday

case of emergencies
productions
"I will never forget that I saw
my first live production of a
Shakespeare play on one of those
field trips, and I was so impress-
ed." Gilliland said “I knew that
this acting) would be the thing
for me "
Through her college years at
Lubbock Christian College,
Gilliland remained active in the
drama department. Carroll

Gaining the most notoriety are,
perhaps, the two referendums
Proposition 1 deals with the State
Board of Education, which, if the
referendum passes, will remain an
appointed, rather than elected
board
The second referendum would
authorize local-option elections for
legalization of pari-mutuel wagering
on a county -by county basis.

Tuesday's General Election in
Texas contains a record number of
proposed amendments to the Texas
Constitution. A total of 25 complex
issues will be on the ballot, and a low

one ballot. and the fate of these pro-
posals is going to be decided by too
few people
