Sealy has something going for it. In every sector people
speak of progress and an interest in promoting the area.
Chamber of Commerce meetings, city meetings, and other
civic organizations' assemblies seem to be in step with what
sounds promising for this town, even at a time when the word
recession is a factor.
The potential regional airport still remains a conversation
piece, as proponents continue to press for the development,
seeing it as a major piece of promotion in the progressive
move of this area. Many cite it as a must for the economic
stability of the Sealy community. Some citizens say much
hinges on the development of this major project.
The Downtown group is pushing ahead with improve-
ments and promotion of new businesses, and all Sealy mer-
chants. not only downtown, are interested in accelerated
business. *
Sealy and its people no longer act and live like small town
folks. Some of the rural town atmosphere is being retained,
and hopefully will remain, but it seems that all plans are
geared to move on a broader scope. That is the trend and that
is what Sealy people must accept. Firms and professions are in
step with the times and are maintaining a firm grip on their in-
dividual businesses and professional fields. They've always
done this and certainly there is no reason that this will change.
This makes for a 'healthy' financial and social atmosphere.

It was "‘bidness" as usual at the
Austin County Courthouse as
County Auditor, Betty Jez,
announced bids for specific hard
road surface materials and a
computer system at the April 28
session of commissioners court.
Bidding covered the county’s
annual needs regarding seal coat,
asphalt RC-2 and MC 800 oil by
precinct, as well as computeriza-
tion for the offices of county
treasurer and county auditor.
Receiving contracts from the
county were Jones Finke, Inc. of
Sealy for MC 800 oil and asphalt
RC2, and Eller’s Construction of
Schulenburg for seal coat. These
were low bids.
Computer firms were well-
represented at the Monday
meeting with several salespeople
in attendance Also present was
Donald Cotton, director of the
computer sciences department at
Blinn College, who is serving as
advisor to the court, auditor, and
treasurer in selection of a
computer system.
Specifications advertised by the
county allowed for a leeway in the
approach to the computer
purchase. Consequently, the
court was inundated with plans
for outright purchase of a total
system, bids only on hardware,
on software only, lease purchase
options, rentals, and facilities
management.
Submitting bids were: CPS
had a troop since 1928 and Rotary
has sponsored the unit for the
past six years. In the United
States alone Rotary Clubs

Rotary is proud to be there when
the unit needs them.
You know how you like to go back over some-
thing you did because you think it’s twice as worth-
while as anything anyone else did when really it is
three times as dull as what anyone else did.
Just the other day I was going over an old scrap-
book I put together years ago, finding it interesting
as all getout. I remember how I mixed the flour and
water (for paste) in the right amounts to make the
stickum hold the dippings I had. And what clip-
pings!
These dippings came from newspapers and mag-
azines printed along in the 1930s, and you may re-
member that that so-smart Literary Digest was the
No. 1 magazine of the day, the likes of which had
never been seen before. The Literary Digest went
out of business a few short months after it predicted
that Alf Landon would beat Franklin D. Roosevelt
for president in 1936. (The prediction was based on
a poll of voters the Digest took, as I remember.)
My preferred magazine of the same sort as the
Digest was the Pathfinder which was about half as
costly and twice as informative.
At any rate, my old scrapbook starts off with the
U.S. presidents, with pictures and brief biographies
I wrote myself. I started with Washington and got
through Lincoln before I changed the subject. (This
was going to be the first of many scrapbooks deal-
ing with history, current events and sports, et al.)
There were pictures of the Prince of Wales, once
known as “The Gay Prince!’ This picture was made
before he ran into Wallis Warfield. And Paul von
Hindenburg, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini;
Haile Selassie and the assassinated Engelbert Doll-
fuss of Austria; John Nance Gamer shelling pecans;
Secretary of State Cordell Hull (remember?); form-
er vice president, Charles Curtis, and speaker of the
house, H. T. Rainey .
Then there is a big cartoon, “Picking the Win-
ners in the Olympic Games, which I still find fun-
ny. It shows Japan running the hurdles by kicking
all of them down, then our congress throwing
dollars from the discus nng. The figure that is sup-
posed to be congress is saying: “Get me some more.
These don’t seem to be going very far!’ (Remember

concluded the judge. “In this
election time (there are vacancies
on the Texas Supreme Court), it is
important that we choose
carefully, for the Texas Supreme
Court already has five activist
judges and could have more.
Indian Exchange Group
At the April 18 meeting of the
Rotary Club, the local group was
graced by the presence of an
exchange group from India
sponsored by the Rotary
Foundation. Headed by Aidoon
Kajiji of the Bombay club in
district 314, the visiting delega-
tion was comprised of five
women: Nilofer Kajiji, Manejin
Chunekar, Rita Dhamankar,
Sujata Rakha and Avril Rebeiro,
plus their male team leader. Each
member of the delegation spoke
briefly, outlining different
segments of Indian culture and
life.
Kajiji brought greetings from
the district governor, the
president of his club and the 3,000
members from his district. He
explained to Sealy members that
Indian clubs have contributed
$700,000 to the Rotary founda-
tion, and that there are 900
sustaining members in his district
and 450 Paul Harris fellows, each
contributing $1,000.
Avril Rebeiro, a dental surgeon
from the Bombay south club,
spoke of India, the country.
Rebeiro labeled India “the land
of dreams and romance, splendor
and rags . . contradictory,
confusing, but enchanting!’ It is
in a portion of Asia which is
home to half the population of
the entire globe and is 3.2 million
kilometers from north to south.
She declared India a time machine
with a choice of sights and sounds
. . . rural to skyscrapers . . .
coldness of high mountains to
intense heat . . . dry deserts to the
wettest place on earth. “India’s
fascination is that it is a land easy
to love, but hard to forget!’ she
concluded.
Rita Dhamankar discussed the
people of India saying there is
much tradition, but also some
new elements in their lifestyle.
The family is headed by the father
and consists of father, mother,
children, grandparents and
wives of sons. “Girls really marry
into a family!’ said Dhamankar
Divorce is a last resort in our
Sealy Rotary announced the
appointment of Leroy Hauerland
as the Scout Unit’s new
scoutmaster of troop 548. John
Brechin is committee chairman,
and the advancement chairman is
Charles White. Earl Frnka is

The Rotary just completed the
roofing of the Scout center used

Commissioners appointed Myrtle
Hatton of Wallis to his vacancy .
Commissioners discussed hir-
ing J. E. Electronic Engineering
of Rockdale to make quarterly
inspections of the county jail’s
alarm and sprinkler systems.
Decision was tabled until the
court could agree on how
frequently these inspections
should occur, if not quarterly,
how often?
Loretta Mar was appointed to
assist Denise Meyer in prepara-
tion of the county’s emergency
management plan (civil defense).
Mar will be available to conduct
any necessary field training.
In a brief note from the April
21 session, Judge LeRoy Grebe
informed the court that the
historical commission advised
that the identification markers for
the historical school sites in
Austin County are ready for
placement.
The next session of court is
Monday, May 5, at 9:00 a.m.

There is stuff about Edwin Markham who wrote
“The Man With the Hoe!’ (Jean Francois Millet
used that poem to draw a picture of the man with a
hoe.) And there is John Peter Sjolander, A Texas

He wrote an answer to “The Man With the Hoe”

There are pictures of Justin Morgan statue in

their tour included visits to the
