Stapp Hamilton drillers pull out sections of pipe during drilling operations
On March 1H drilling be^an
on Camp Swift property in
Bastrop t'ount.v for samples of
lignite l.l'HA obtained the
permission of the U.S. Army to
explore the coal producing
potential of Camp Swift with
the help of Rep. Jake Pickle. As
much as 400 million tons of
lignite is estimated to be
underneath the soil of Bastrop
County.
LCBA mechanical engineer,
l.arry Siler said they will sink
about 50 holes in half mile
centers iwhere possible! of the
gridded area. The site is
manned by the Stapp Hamilton
drilling crew headed by Boyd
Lane. Bechtol geologist Mar
jorie Sendejaz, logger Bay
Huberts and l.arry Siler and an
l.CBA crew.
The holes are sunk by wash
boring, a method which uses
water drained into the pipe to
make the hard ground into
mud. When they reach a section
they want to sample, they pull
all of the pipe out; remove the

Left to right, Marjoriu Sendejaz, Kristan Malak, logger Hay Roberts, and LCRA engineer
Larry Siller compare the logs lo see the potential for lignite deposits.

RESEARCH IN NEW
LAND RESOURCES
AT UNIVERSITY
AUSTIN Research impor
tant to achieving a balance
between environmental quality
and optimum land use is the
goal of the new Land Resources
Laboratory at The University
of Texas.
The lab will develop techno
logical knowledge about land
resources that can be used in
future management decisions
regarding land use.
Among several projects al
realy under way are land
resource inventories of the
coastal zone and an environ
mental geologic mapping of
South Texas. Remote sensing
studies also are to be instigat-
ed.
Have you ever wondered
how you could make pickles at
home? Mrs. Elnora R. Bryant,
Bastrop County Extension
Agent, has these suggestions,
One way is to put such
vegetables as cucumbers, cab
bage or green tomatoes in a
brine made of a mixture of salt
and water and let them set
about three weeks. They go
through a fermentation and are
called brined pickles. The brin
ed cabbage is what we general
ly call sauerkraut.
Another way is lo brine such
vegetables as cross cut cucum
ber slices, sweet gherkins or
green beans a few hours or
overnight; drain them and pack
them with boiling hot vinegar,
spices and other seasonings.
These are quick to prepare and
are known as fresh pack
pickles.
Fruit pickles are usually
prepared from whole fruits and
simmmered in a spicy sweet
sour syrup. Pears, peaches and
watermelon rinds are often
pickled.
Relishes are prepared from
fruits or vegetables and are
chopped, seasoned and then
Because of health problems we are forced to dispose
of all our merchandise as soon as possible.

cooked to a desired consistency.
Relishes include Piccalilli, Per
er Onion, Tomato-Apple Chut
ney, Tomato Pear Chutney,
horseradish and corn relish.
Whether you make brined,
fresh pack fruit pickles or
relishes, your family will enjoy
eating pickles made using any
of the old time favorites you
may choose to make.
Would you like to make dill
pickles at home? Here is a way
to do them in a hurry.
FRESH PACK
DILL PICKLES
Wash about seventeen or
eighteen pounds of cucumbers
thoroughly and drain them.
Cover them with a brine made
from one and one-half cups of
salt to two gallons water. Let
them soak over night and drain
them.
Combine six cups of vinegar,
three-fourth cup salt, one-four
th cup sugar, and nine cups of
water. Tie two tablespoons
whole mixed pickling spice in a
clean, thin white cloth. Add to
the liquid mixture and heat lo
boiling.
Pack the cucumbers into
clean, hot, quart jars and add
two teaspoons whole mustard
seed, three heads of dill and one
or two cloves of garlic to each
jar. Cover with the boiling
liquid to within one half inch to
top of jar. Cover with the lids
according to the manufacturer's
directions.
Process the pickles in boiling
water for twenty minutes.
Start to count the processing
time as soon as the hot jars are
placed into the actively boiling
water.
Remove the jars and set
upright several inches apart on
a wire rack to cool.
CHECK LIFE INSURANCE
Life insurance programs
should reflect current changes
in the economy and in the
family situation, according to
an economist for the Texas
Agricultural Extension
service. Young families often
find that their insurance needs
grow as their family grows,
while middle aged families may
be able to decrease their life
insurance needs as their child
ren leave home. Life insurance
is also needed to protect a
business and to supplement
other income producing assets.
Many different types of life
insurance programs are avail-
able to fit your particular
needs.
Meeting In Burnet
Seven members of the Bas
trop County Unit of the Ameri
can Cancer Society attended
the Area 11 meeting of Districts
4, 7 and 12 of the ACS
Thursday, June 6, at the
Highlander Inn in Burnet.
The meeting opened with a
breakfast for medical members.
John F. Thomas, M.D. of
Austin presided at the opening
sessions. Four group sessions
were conducted by Grover
Bynum, M.D. of Austin, Public
Education; Jon Horuaday of
Austin, Public Information;
Mrs. M. E. Nichol of Ozona,
Crusade; Charles F. Pelphrey
M.D. of Austin, Service and
Rehabilitation.
The number of mastectomy
patients reached with Reach to
Recovery in Texas was 1120;
laryngectomy patients with
speech lessons 288. The 1974 75
objectives of Service/Rehabili
tat ion is to reach more patient s
who need service with educa
tional programs and to train ten
enterostomal therapists under
ACS scholarships. Estimated
new ostomy patients in 1974-75
is 4,000. This is a new Kchabili
tat ion service of ACS.
Mrs. Connie Evans of San
Antonio, Texas' first laryngec
tomy speech teacher, spoke to
t he Service Sessions. Her voice
box was removed 23 years ago
when she was a young lady. In
the early 19(i0's Texas had
three teachers D. H. Casper of
San Antonio and L. E. (Lefty)
Ross of Quannah went to
drill bit; replace it with a core
barrel and sink it back into the
hole.
Each hole is logged by Ray
Roberts. The logging consists
of three tests; radioactivity,
resistivity, and density. Elect
rodes lowered into the holes
register on the equipment in
Roberts' truck and print out
graphs, much like an electro
cardiogram, for each test.
These three graphs, when
looked at together, show the
probability of the presence of
lignite because lignite is low in
radioactivity, high in resistivity
and very low in density. If
these three characteristics
occur at the same level, the
probability of lignite being
present is high.
Geologist Marjorie Sendejaz
has analyzed each sample of
lignite that has been cored
before sending them to Com
mercial Testing Engineering
Co. laboratories in Denver for
extensive analysis. The lignite,
shown to be low in sulphur
content, runs in strips slanting
beneath the surface of the
ground which average five feet
in thickness.
Due to t he good quality of the
samples taken thus far, they
have drilled 500 feet or more to
keep track of the slanting strips
of lignite. The drilling operation
will determine how much, and
where lignite can be strip
mined, and where it would have
to be mined.
The drilling may continue
until the middle of June or the
first of July.
If the lignite is in large
enough quantity, and if the
sulphur content remains low, it
could supply Central Texas
with an abundant, economical
energy supply for years to
come.
