LEWISVILLE — An appellate brief was
filed Wednesday with the Sth Circuit Court
of Appeals based on allegations that a local
fish hatchery employee’s First Amend-
ment rights were violated, said attorney
Ed Stapleton, representing the employee,
Denise Hudson.
Ms. Hudson, a technician at the State
Fish Hatchery here, claims disciplinary
action taken by the Texas Department of
Parks and Wildlife following statements
she made to the press restricted her right
to free expression.
Ms. Hudson was suspended three days
without pay and placed on three months’
'probation after she criticized the head of
Fisheries and Wildlife for initiating a
Florida bass program in Texas. The breed
cannot live in unheated North Texas lakes,
she said The program was a “pet project”
undertaken by the director for political
reasons, she alleged.
Her request for an injunction against the
probation and suspension was denied at
the federal district court level.
Judge Barefoot Sanders, in his opinion
handed down from the bench, said she did
not carry the proof of burden that her First
Amendment rights were infringed.
Ms. Hudson and her attorneys Stapleton
and Bill Kimble of Denton appealed to the
Sth Circuit Court for a stay of the
suspension and probation.
The stay request was denied. Ms
Hudson began the probationary period
Aug. 23, Kimble said. Denial of a stay
request is not uncommon and is not a
judgment on whether the case has merit,
Kimble said in an earlier interview.
* The appeal before the circuit court is to
enjoin the Department of Parks and
Wildlife from taking further action against
Ms Hudson for comments she may make
to the press in the future, Stapleton said.
■ Even if her probation period is over by
the time the case is heard the concept of
"continuing threat" overrides the
possibility the case could become moot,
Stapleton said.
In defense, the parks and wildlife
department claimed the discipline was
imposed not because of statements to the
press but because of her "hostile and in-
subordinate" attitudes following the
story’s publication.
If the circuit court denies the First
Amendment rights appeal, the case may
go to the Supreme Court, Stapleton said.

Bears return
MOSCOW (AP) -
Bears have returned to
the forests which ring
the Soviet capital of
Moscow after an ab-
sence of nearly 20 years.
Naturalists said they
believed the bears had
been driven away by
massive construction
projects in Moscow —
the number of which has
dwindled
years.
Weekend

strollers
have been warned to
avoid the animals.
Farm scene
Fast-food industry affecting farmers
WASHINGTON (AP) — The fast-food
business not only has changed the eating
habits of millions of consumers but is
having an impact on farmers too, says the
Agriculture Department.
For example, when billions of ham-
burgers are sold, it’s bound to have an
important effect on the cattle business,
particularly markets for so-called nonfed
animals such as cows that are culled from ;
- dairy or beefbreeding herds and sent to
slaughter.
Likewise, say USDA experts, the broiler
industry owes a hearty thanks to the
growth of fried chicken carryouts.
But the business is becoming much more
involved than simply burgers and chicken,
says the latest issue of “Farm Index"
published by the department's Economics,
Statistics and Cooperatives Service.
"Fast-food outlets used to mean just
burgers, shakes and fries, but now they
run the gastronomic gamut from fish ’n
chips to tacos, pizzas, chicken — whatever
the public’s tastebuds want,” the report
said.
Also, the older carryout service "has
given way to an interior ambiance
designed to get customers indoors for a
bigger meal,” it said.
Since 1963, officials said, “growth in the
fast-food industry has exceeded that of any
other segment of food retailing.”
Colony seeks
permanent
Discounting inflation, sales increased
306 percent from 1963 to 1978, from $4.9
billion to $19.7 billion, the report said.
“While this expansion has been ex-
traordinary, surpassing both population
and income growth, indications now point
to a possible moderation in industry ex-
pansion,” it said. .
“Higher consumer prices ... may be
causing people to think twice about eating
away from home," the report said. "This
hesitation has been compounded by the
gas shortage.''
Competition has narrowed in the fast-
food business, leaving "a handful of large
franchising chains with nearly half the
market,” it said.
“Currently, the four largest firms —
McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken,
Burger King and Dairy Queen — account
for 41 percent of total fast-food sales.”
The report said fast foods “affect
production at the farm level as well as the
processing, wholesaling and retailing of
farm foods.”
For example:
—Many food processors have
established internal divisions having sole
responsibility for developing products for
fastfood chains.
—Some chains are so large they “have
assumed the wholesale function and
distribute food directly" to their own out-
lets.
—Some large firms contract directly
with farmers to ensure a continuous
supply of the quantity and quality of the
desired foods.
“Grocery stores are now recognizing the
threat that fastfood outlets present to their
traditional role as food suppliers,” the
report said. "In response, many now
emphasize convenience foods and ser-
vices, and provide prepared meals and
snacks.”
‘Loophole’ giving
foreigners an edge
WASHINGTON (AP) — Farmbelt
members of Congress have urged the
House Ways and Means Committee to act
quickly to close a tax "loophole” that gives
foreigners an edge in buying U.S. far-
mland.
Sen. Malcolm Wallop, RWyo., and
several congressmen testified Thursday
before the tax-writing committee, seeking
approval of legislation that would apply
capital gains taxes to foreign owners of
U.S. farmland.
Wallop said that under existing law, "a
foreign investor could offer up to 15 per-
cent more (for land) than a domestic
purchaser.

landfill site
THE COLONY - Two
factors are making the
future unpredictable as
regards residential
refuse.
Municipal Utility
District Director Tom
Forrest said officials
are looking for a per- |
manent landfill site at I
an equitable price. So
far, that combination
has been difficult to 1
find.
Given until December
to locate an alternate
landfill since Denton is
closing its site to The
Colony, MUD officials
began using
Lewisville’s landfill Oct.
1.
Forrest said while
MUD officials were told
they could continue
using the faculty in-
definitely, he wants a
firm signed, sealed and
delivered.
Another possible
landfill available to The
Colony MUD is being
researched by the Small
Cities Association,
beaded up by Celina
Mayor Bud Phillips.
The Small Cities
Association was in-
strumental in
establishing a water and
waste control district
composed of small cities
within Denton County.
The association
comprises Celina,
Frisco, Szanger, Pilot
Point, Aubrey, Little
Elm and Prosper.
