Thought for the Day
When we offer ourselves, God will use us.

The Sachse Camp Fire boys
and girls are looking for new
members, with a membership
drive to run through Oct. 31.
Children from kindergarten
through high school are eli-
gible to join.
Adults are also being re-
cruited. "It takes a special
person to help children deal
with peer pressure and make
wise decisions, but the satis-
faction that comes from
seeing a young person
succeed and grow is tremen-
dous," said Tim James,
executive director of the Lone
Star Council of Camp Fire.
"Camp Fire helps today's
children feel good about
themselves. We believe that
self-esteem gives kids the ex-
tra boost they need to
become healthy, responsible
adults," James aid.
"Issues such as peer
pressure, the need to be safe
when there is no adult super-
vision, and the need for good
health must be tackled by
both boys and girls. That is
one reason Camp Fire opened
to boys, as well as girls, in the
70s," he added.
The Lone Star Council of
Camp Fire, a United Way af-
filiate, serves 10,000 youth
annually.

past fiscal year by the
50-cent rate.
If the Council decides on
the maximum rate, an $81,000
home (average price in Sach-
se) will result in a City tax of
$468, compared with the cur-
rent $418, according to
Becker.
The proposed budget re-
flects these increases for em-
ployees over which the City
has no control: hospitalization
(19.7%); workmen's comp-
ensation (20.2%); life
insurance (12.1%); and retire-
ment benefits (17.6%).
These new items appear in
the proposed budget:
(a). One new police officer

(Q) I have misplaced my army discharge papers. Will thisk
cause a problem at the time of my death?
(A) Entitlements to death benefits and survivors' benefits from
the Veterans Administration are based upon armed service
discharge records. The absence of a discharge at the time of
death will not cancel these benefits, but may delay them for an
indefinite period. If you have lost your discharge, come to our
office and we will help you secure a replacement.
When you receive your replacement, it should be recorded at
your County Recorder's office. If you have not already
recorded your discharge, we suggest you do this. A discharge
is a very important document in life, as well as at the time of
death.
Comment: Use VA Standard Form 180 to request replacement
of a lost discharge. Secure it from the VA office in your area
and mail it to: DOD National Personnel Record Center, 9700
Page Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63132.

(b) Replacement of two
people in Public Works who
have left during the past year;
(c) Repair some of the
concrete and asphalt streets
(do as many as City can this
year, with hopes of repairing
more next year);
(d) Tackle several major
drainage problems (including
Bryan St., Bryan Circle, 3rd
and 4th Sts.); and
(e) Purchase a fire truck to
replace one which has been
damaged and cannot be re-
paired because of its age.
Holden took exception with a
flyer that was distributed at
Fallfest, saying the City was
increasing taxes 15 percent.
"This is misinformation . . .
divisive and misleading to
citizens," he said.
Robert Gupton later spoke
up that he was the author of
the flyer and that it was dis-
tributed in order to make the
public aware of a tax increase
and encourage their
participation at the public
hearing.
He advocated that the City
take $90,000 of the $210,000
which was withheld from Gar-
land during the wastewater
fight and apply it to the in-
crease proposal, thereby
eliminating a tax increase for
the year.
Former Councilman Pat
Boyd emphasized that the
drainage and street repairs
must stay in the budget, but
recommended that some City
employees double up in their
job duties, thereby eliminating
possible wasted time or dup-
lication of work.
Jack Bankhead and Jim
Ball each requested that the
City "hold the line" because
of bad economic conditions. "I
ask the Council to be very
careful because of the reces-
sion ... We need to tighten
our belts," Ball said. And
Bankhead added, "Residents
are getting laid off and have
no pay raises ... they need to
be considered."
The 55-cent rate which the
Council is considering com-
pares with other area cities as
follows: Garland 58.77, Wylie
61.5, Rowlett 56.5, Murphy 61,
and Allen 73 cents.
