DALLAS (AP) — Although North Texas temperatures have,,
remained in the low 40s over the last several days, a woman
diagnosed with terminal cancer got her wish for a white Christ-
mas anyway.
"When the doctors told me I had about six months to live, they
told me to dream my dreams while I can,” said Elaine Riddle,
41, who has lymphatic cancer. "I told my friend Kathy that if I
had one last Christmas, I wanted it to be a white one.”
But because nature didn’t cooperate, Kathy Decker arranged
for the ice company to spray three tons of shaved ice over Ms*.*
Riddle’s yard for free.
Monday afternoon, family and friends gathered in the 40-de-'
gree weather to watch as Ms. Riddle’s lawn was covered with an
inch-thick coat of snow. •;
"I’m 41 years old, and I’ve never had a white Christmas —1
until today,” Ms. Riddle said. inn
A snow novice, Ms. Riddle soon figured out what to do.
Holding Ms. Decker’s hand, she bent down and scooped up a
handful of snow then popped her brother, Buddy Feagin, in the •

DALLAS (AP) — Several Texas companies that were in a’-
“scale-back mode” less than six months ago from declining
Defense Department business, are now scrambling to hire hun-
dreds of people to fill emergency orders for Operation Desert
Shield. e‘
"This whole industry was in a scale-back mode because ofthe’1
cuts. Now we are going to the other extreme,” said Roy Terraci-’’
no, president of San-Antonio-based Sterling Foods. “We have
increased our employment dramatically. We are working six
days a week.” 21
Since the Persian Gulf crisis began Aug. 2, several Texascom- 7
panies have snatched up millions of dollars in new U.S. military I
orders for everything from sand-confinement grids and repack-
aged bread loaves to gas protection suits.
The new business has boosted the economy in some Texas";
communities that had high unemployment and rescued some ;
companies forced to lay off employees in the past.

Colonias positively motivated •
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) Hispanic residents of
South Texas colonias, unincorporated rural communities
marked by substandard housing and poverty, are motivated,
goal oriented families who want education and a better life for
themselves, a study says.
Residents’ efforts are impeded by their inability to utilize
and understand the bureaucracy of services available, said Ida
Acuna Patrick, who conducted the study for her doctorate
degree from Texas A&M University.
“Colonia families are largely poor young Hispanic immi-
grants, socially and geographically isolated in communities
with no basic services such as water, roads and sewers,” Ms. Pat*
rick said. "Yet the communities are very united, and all the fac-
tors of group dynamics for them to improve their situation are
present.”
Ms. Patrick conducted in depth interviews with a deliberate
sampling of 47 families from 297 coIonia households in Hidalgo
County served by the Texas Agriculture Extension Service
Expanded Nutrition program.
Ms. Patrick’s recommendations include development of a
regional water plan, establishment of an interagency task force
to consolidate colonia services and construction of community

return, the policyholder cannot
be sued and gives up the right to
sue the other driver, except in
severe cases such as death or
the loss of a limb.
Insurance companies say this
will shorten and simplify the
claims process, hold down liti-
gation costs and lower
premiums.
Personal injury lawyers and
some consumers oppose no-
fault, saying it would prevent
those who have been hurt from
collecting full compensation.
An advisory committee to the
insurance board recommended
legislation that would give driv-
ers the choice of purchasing
conventional coverage or no-
fault.
