As this successful year came to an end,
the members of the Rio Grande City High
School Band elected its 1980-81 band of-
ficers. These elections were held on May 23
at the band hall
The president is Ruben Reyna, a senior.
His job will be to help the band directors in
any way, to lead the band in its money
raising activities, to help "pep up" the band,
to unite the band, and a dozen other things.
As the secretary, we have Leticia
Canales, also a senior. Her job is to take roll
each day and to write down information on
what goes on during our band meetings.
The parliamentarian is Cynthia Garza, a
senior. Her job is to try to keep the band as
quiet as possible when any band director
who is teaching at the time leaves and also
to see that no student gets out of hand.
A junior, Maricela Garcia, was elected
librarian. Her job is to collect and distribute
music throughout the year.
Equipment manager will be Israel
Ybarra, a senior. His job is to make sure
that all instruments and other equipment is
loaded and unloaded from the buses.
Yvonne Garza, a senior, will be historian.
She will take pictures of all band activities
and at the end of the year will turn in a
scrapbook.
Uniform manager is a senior, Olga
Guerrero. Her job is to see that all mem-
bers are given uniiorms, that they are kept
clean, and are turned in at the end of the
year.
Field manager is Elias Villarreal, a
junior. His job is to paint, water, and keep
the field in order.
Melissa Munoz, a senior, was selected as
reporter. Her job is to write articles each
week for the newspapers on what is hap-
pening with the band.
The chaplain is Yvette Hinojosa, a senior.
Her job is leading the band in prayer before
any game or contest.
The drum major for this coming year is
Ruben Reyna. The twirlers are Clarissa
Garza, Cynthia Leal, and I .aura Trevino,
seniors, and Maricela Leal, a junior.
It is hoped that this year's band will be
even better than previous ones and to
achieve these goals, the support of everyone
is needed.

Your Cooling
Dollar
Consumers can get more from their
"beat-the-summer-heat" dollar, says Dr.
Jane Berry, a housing and home furnishings
specialist.
Dr. Berry is with the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service, The Texas A&.M
University System.
She suggests some simple, no-cost steps
consumers can take immediately to
maximize cooling.
Raise the air conditioner thermostat to
the highest comfort level possible. This will
reduce energy consumption from three to 10
percent for each degree the thermostat is
riised.
When it's excessively hot outdoors, turn
the thermostat up even higher to keep
from overworking the air conditioner.
Greatest efficiency results when a dif-
ference of no more than 15 to 20 degrees is
maintained between inside and outside
temperature.
Fans, used either by themselves or with
air conditioning, can enhance summer
comfort while saving energy. While a one-
ton air conditioner costs around seven cents
an hour to operate, a fan costs less than one
cent an hour to run.
Fans won't make any change in the
room's actual temperature, but the constant
breeze they provide will make you "feel"
much cooler.
In fact, set the air conditioner at 82
degrees F., use a fan to circulate the air,
and experience the same comfort as if the
air conditioner were set at 74 degrees F.
Windows and glass areas transmit most of
the radiant heat they are exposed to. So,
block out heat on those sides of the house
that get direct sun exposure.

Profit from grain crops depends not only
on how much grain a farmer can grow but
also how much he puts in the bin. One
doesn't necessarily follow the other,
reminds David Sandefer, County Extension
Agent with the Texas Agricultural Ex-
tension Service, Texas A&M University
System.
It's too late now to much effect growing
the crop but a producer can assure har-
vesting the grain he's j iwn with t ime
preventive maint n -io his equipment
the County A 1 <, , ;
Harvesting lu.^es nip profits just as
surely as if the grain hadn't grown at all, he
admonishes. To keep losses low andharve: i
efficiency high Sandefer suggests:
1) Adjusting and repairing combine;: well
before harvest season begins. Machines
should be in good enough shape to run
liuough the entire season with minimum
time out for repairs. "Chances are slim of
finding time to repair small deficiencies
during a busy harvest season yet these
small troubles, if neglected, ( n lirow into
larger ones later; even on a new combine"
Sandefer adds.
2) Consulting operator's manual for
proper adjustments. The manual usually
lists adjustments required for the desired
effects. He advises recording combine
settings givini; ti t best result' for future
reference.
3) Tightening all chains, belts and other
m< .hanical drives where needed ar.-l ob-
taining replacements for nay showing wear.
All belts and chains should be properly
shielded.
Insuring
41 Insuring engine is running at the
recommended speed. If the speed is in-
correct, machine will probably lose grain ne
matter how finely adjusted otherwise,
Sandefer points out. Adjusts should be
made at the governor linkage
5) Timing harvest to coincide with crop
maturity. As the grain loses moisture ad-
justments will be necessary for peak ef-
ficiency. Examination of grain in hopper
for trash and crushed or damaged kernels
will indicate this Weeds, which often add
significantly to trash problems and reduce
efficiency, can be minimized with
dessicants.
6) Planning ahead. Don't underestimate
the capacity of a big combine, he cautions.
"To keep harvesting machinery busy you'll
need a full line of grain hauling and storage
equipment." Sandefer advises servicing
truck and wagons also and equipping with
heavy duty agricultural tires rather than
car tires which are not designed for heavy
loads.
7 Considering temporary storage and
drying equipment to maintain high quality
grain for top markets.
8) Installing monitoring systems in
combines equipped with pressurized or air
conditioned cabs. Such operators are
isolated from much of the sight and sound
info; mat' .vhich used to assure them their
machines were running properly. Elec-
tronic monitors which give advance war-
ning of failure or improper operation are
widely available today, Sandefer reminds.
A control panel mounted in the cab monitors
several combine functions so the operator
can be sure things are going smoothly even
though he can't see or hear as before.

One of the all-time great love stories
Bugs find people delicious.
A first-aid kit for motorists
should include a treat-
ment for insect bites.
If you plan to use your
car on a vacation, make sure
that your car is in good
working condition. And a
good way to make sure
you're ready to handle
minor emergencies is to in-
clude a motorist's first-aid
kit when you're packing
your car.
Your first-aid kit should
include an assortment of
adhesive bandages in various
sizes; moleskin for blisters;
sterile gauze pads; several 2"
x 3" Telfa adhesive pads; six
yards of sterile gauze ban-
dage (2" is most useful);
adhesive tape in a conve-
nient 1" width: individual
towelettes (two types: alco-
hol-soaked and antiseptic);
antibiotic ointment; anti-
histamine tablets; an all-
purpose hydrocortisone
cream Also include aspirin;
tweezers and a needle for
removing splinters; a single-
edge razor blade; a laxative;
a first-aid manual; and
scissors.
Taking a first-aid kit along
in your car can save discom-
fort and help you cope
should a mishap occur dur-
ing your holiday.
Weeds often survive because
they can withstand extremes
of heat and cold, drought,
high winds—even fire.
