Use Federal
Cost Sharing
Or Farms
Mans farmers and ranchers
ill the Bastrop C ounty Soil and
Water Conservation District
are using Federal cost sharing
to stabilize problem areas on
their farms and ranches.
Many farms and ranches have
severely eroded or gullied
areas that are eroding and
causing pollution of the land
and streams below. Some areas
are so severely eroded that
shaping and smoothing with
heavy equipment is necessary.
Shaping and smoothing provide
Stable velocities and other
hydraulic characteristics.
For Federal cost sharing, the
areas must be shaped or
smoothed in accordance with
prescribed standards and spec-
ifications. The particular area
must be shaped and smoothed
so that it can bo established
to vegetation with regular farm
equipment. This also enables
the farmer or rancher to
fertilize the area properly and
controls weeds tliat tend to
grow in such areas.
These critical areas should
be established to vegetation as
soon as possible after shaping.
Where the entire area has been
shaped a sod grass should be
established and a continuing
fertilization program carried
out.
These critical areas should
be fenced into separate grazing
units whenever possible. I s-
tablishment of vegetation and
fencing of these areas should
be a part of the overall
planning process in order to
work the treated area into a
practical grazing program.
Many of these areas have been
shaped and established tograss
in tiie District and may be
observed in different areas of
the county.
If you have any questions in
regard to gully shaping and
planting, contact your local
Soil Conservation Service Field
office personnel.

At 7:11 p.m., m Ihc main din-
ing room of a largo hoUl, a mirror
\uddenK fell from the wall and
landed on Ihc head of an unsus-
pecting diner.
So one could ligurc out cxactlx
win the mirror had fallen Never-
theless the diner, painlulK in-
jured. filed a lawsuit for damages
a^aiiisi the hotel
"lie has no ease," the man-
agement argued in court, "lie
cannot point to any specific thing
we did wrong."
Rut the court upheld the man's
claim.
"Mirrors do not ordinarily fall
oil walls," reasoned the court,
"unless someone is negligent."
1 he court was invoking a fa-
mous legal doctrine known as res
i/nu loquitur "the thing speaks
for itsell " I his doctrine is widely
useil when there is no direct eye-
witness evidence of an net of neg-
ligence Weighing the odds, the
law decides that an act of negli-
gence even though unseen
probably did occur.
Thus:
I sing rc\ ii>\a loquitur, a court
found negligence when a car,
parked on a steep slope, started
to roll downhill Chances were
good, saiil the court, that the
driver had neglected to set his
hr.'kes and cramp his front wheel
against the curb.
Also using res ipsa loquitur, an-
other court found negligence
when a houscwifi • ountered a
piece ol glass in .i new 'tied
can of spinach. Chances were
good, said the court, that some
one in the canning factor) had
been careless.
Kut the mere fact that an ac
eident has happened does not
necessarily justify the use of the
doctrine. Consider this situation:
A woman climbing down from
a trolley lost her footing and fell
to the pavement. Demanding
damages lutct fiuiu the trolley
company, she said the car had
probably moved just as she was
getting off.
Rut the court said there was an
equal probability that she herself
had simply failed to watch her
step W ith no odds in her favor,
said the court, she could not use
rc\ ipsa loquitur to win her case.
Surprised With
Birthday Party
• ¥
The quiet little home of
M. N. Tally was the scene of
a surprise birthday party Sat-
urday, Nov. 4th. Mr. Tally was
bom in the Red Rock commu-
nity in Bastrop County In 1882.
lie grew up and married Miss
Lizzie Purcell. They i eared
three sons, Henry, Berle and
Rex. Henry lives in Fugene,
oregan, Berle in ( launch, New
Mexico, and Rex in Alaska.
Mr. and Mrs. Tally moved
from Bastrop Co. when Rex
was just a sittle tot. They
traveled a great deal, living
in Calofornia, Colorado, and
New Mexico, where they were
at the time of Mrs. Tally's
death. Mr. Tally returned home,
to Red Rock, married Mrs.
Maggie Bowen in 1954 and has
lived here since.
Helping him celebrate his
90th birthday were cards and
gifts from his sons, his step-
daughters, the Bowen girls,
and brothers, Wallace and
Lonnie Tally of Lockhart.
Mr. Tally was presented with
a "money tree" on which grew
ninety dollars. After a time of
picture taking, all hoping for
some real good pictures to send
to the I'ally boys and at least
one good one to send to
Douglas Ansley of Roswell, New
Mexico, a popular young artist
who specializes in pictures of
older men and is agreatgrand-
son of Mr. Tally. The beautiful
birthday cake and coffee were
enjoyed following the picture
taking.
Utter in the day, Mr. Tally
had another nice surprise when
Rex called from Alaska to visit
by telephone with him and wish
him a happy birthday.
Mr. Tally enjoys good health
aixl is very active. He can be
seen almost any time working
around the house or taking his
afternoon mile walk. He lias
lived alone since his wifes death
in November of 1966.
He is a devoted member of the
Adventist Church and is deeply
respected by all who know him.
We wish for him many more
happy birthdays.
Card of Thanks
We wish to express our most
sincere thanks and gratitude

Bastrop Chamber By"
of Commerce News M«ei'.r
BY MARGARET PFF.IFFF.R
Things were really buzzing
this last weekend with the movie
company getting things ready
to shoot the first scenes at
the Steiner ranch west of Austin.
Costumes were being readied
and props assembled for the
scenes.
The stars arrived In Austin
and were on location Monday
morning. By the time you read
this column they will have
arrived In Bastrop for the
scenes which will be shot in
and around Bastrop If you
see the street blocked off and
a crowd of people, that will
probably be the place where
the action is. We hope that
the people of Bastrop will co-
operate in every way to assist
in making way for these who
will be involved in the actual
picture making. They will need
all of the help that they can
get to keep the crowds at a
minimum This may be the
beginning of more movies to
come to town.... and believe
me, they do spend money.. with
all of the many things involved
to get the show off the ground.
Mrs. Ruby Grlesenbeck and
your secretary had the plea sure
of attending the Taylor Chamber
of Commerce Banquet on
Wednesday evening of lust week
and it was an affair of which
they can be proud. Speaker for
the evening was Ix-onard
Passmore, Secretary, Texas
Bankers Association, who did
a wonderful job of entertaining
as well as bringing a message.
Taylor has just completed a
new Chamber of Commerce
office building which was re-
cently dedicated. They are also
having a membership drive in
order to accomplish many of
the outstanding things they have.
We feel that this is exactly
what Bastrop needs to accom-
plish many of the programs we
would like to participate in.
It all stems down to the same
old thing, we can only do the
tilings that we have the money
to pay for
are involved. Cities are some-
times filled and need to have
the industry move to the out-
lying area where space is
available for expansion. By the
co-operation of the surrounding
towns with the city we are in
a better position to land a
particular industry for the area.
These quarterly meetings are
held in each of the towns to
create better understanding
among the people and also In
order for the citizens of the
town to meet with business
leaders of the surrounding
towns. This is just good sound
business.
Card of Thanks
I wish to take this oppor-
tunity to thank my many
friends for their visits, flowers,
cards, and other expressions of
interest and concern while I
was a patient in the local hos-
pital. I greatly appreciate your
thoughtfulness.
Judge Jack A. Grlesenbeck
Card of Thanks
I wish to express my grati-
tude to Bastrop Memorial Hos-
pital, to all the nursing staff,
the doctors, and to Pastor A. H.
Rnhls for his wonderful visit,
while I was a patient in the
hospital May God bless you.

Medicare help in paying for
extended care for the elderly
in nursing homes and similar
facilities depends on "continu-
ing skilled nursing care" and
three other conditions, accord-
ing to Kd M. Bowers, Social
Security District Manager in
Austin.
Medicare hospital insurance
helps pay for extended care
if:
1. The Medicare patient needs
continuing skilled nursing
care--"nc< just help with such
things as bathing, eating,
dressing, walking, and taking
medicine at the right time;"
2. The patient is in an ex-
tended-care facility that is
approved for Medicare pay-
ments;
3. The patient has been
admitted to the facility because
he needs additional care for
a condition treated while he
was In a hospital;
. The patient has been In
the hospital for at least three
consecutive days and has been
admitted to the extended-care
facility within 14 days after
being discharged from the
hospital.
People eligible for social
security retirement benefits
are automatically eligible at
age 65 for the Medicare hospi-
tal Insurance program. If you
