JUNE ARRIVED TODAY, hero'ding a very
exciting and happy month for Albany' . ■ ■
■ml former Albanyites who make t> pilgrim ai» >
each June to visit homefolk and to see the Fort
Griffin Fandangle. Albany people are getting
ready for company.
First Fandangle performance will be two
weeks from tonight—on Thursday, June 15.
TTie Fandangle cast and technicirais are hard
at work putting the finishing touches on the
show. Many of the old favorite songs t-ad
scenes will be used, along with some new num-
bers.
TICKET SALES to members of the Fort Griffin
Fandangle Association are going along well, with
the Fandangle ofTice busy sending out tickets
Beginning today, June 1, tickets are open to the
general public, and there are plenty good seats for
everyone. In fact, there are rio bad seats in the
Prairie theatre.
Incidentally, people unfamiliar with the Fandan-
gle and Albany, would be surprised at the amount
of money local peope spend to provide tickets for
their guests . . . family and friends.
, But it's worth whatever it costs.
HERB SIKVERS and his Fandangle Parade
committee are beginning to make their plans
for the big parole of Thursday, June 22, when
thousands will In- here to see one of West Tex-
as' finest parades.
Parade day tickets sales n-e usually the first
to go, since so many out-of-town people like
to combine the parade, the barbecue dinner
and the Fandangle performance in one after-
i noon and evening.
ALBANY BUSINESS FIRMS will be planning
window decorations for the Fandangle season. The
window displays are always in keeping with the
pioneer theme of the Fandangle. Albany groups
aid the business people in window decorations.
Hie June summer show season is here, and lo-
cal people will be ready.
RECENTLY the freshman class went to Six
Flags to spend a Saturday as their class trip.
They found some 59 school buses there at the
same time from schools from all over Texiu.
The sponsors of the trip were prepared. They
gave the Albany students handsful of Fandan-
gle brochures, which they distributed to the
pupils in the various school buses.
The freshmen did their part in advertising
the Fandtiigle.
SATURDAY IS ELECTION DAY-the second
primary. You will find a copy of the Democratic
Party's second primary ballot in this issue, which
the News printed recently.
All five ballot boxes will be open, and our people
are urged to vote, even though there are only a
Jew races on the ballot.
Mrs. Farenthold and Dolph Briscoe are making
6t^J^bids for the governorship nomination in this
primary, and will help bring out the vote.
It won't take you long to vote Saturday. Make
an effort to vote. It is worth while.
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE is spon-
soring a clean-up campaign the next two
weeks to get Albany cleaned up for the Fan-
dangle season. City Manager Us ton Todd is
heading up the clean-up program.
Todd asks that everyone put his trruh—
trees limbs, junk, etc., in a convenient place
and the city trucks will pick it up free during
this clean-up period.
Let's everyone co-operate In this move.

ALBANY'S HOST of college students are coming
home for vacation, and it is surprising how many
are taking part in the Fandangle.
We have students in practically all Texas col-
leges and universities, and readers have noticed
how large a number have been making the honor
roll in college.
SEVERAL ALBANY offices and other
business places closed Monday to observe Me-
morial Day, These included the bank and
post office.
Flags were up over the business district
placed by the Jaycees who do n good job for
Albany by furnishing the flags and putting
them up for a nominal charge.
The American legion and Auxiliary spon-
soied the annuo1. Memorial Day service at the
Memorial plot at the Albany Cemetery.
SECRETARY OF STATE Bob Bullock sends out
a warning that voters should "stay in the party
primary where they voted on May 6."
He continues, "judging from reports several
county clerks are receiving, it looks like many
Republicans are being tempted to switch over anil
vote in the Democratic runoff on June 3."
Voters need to know that if they voted in one
party primary May 6, they cannot vote is the other
runoff. This violates Article 240 of the Texas
Election Code, he said.
WASHINGTON
"As it looks
OMAR BURLESON
WASHINGTON, D. C. - Since
I he early days of our nation
some ot the most heated legis-
lation battles have centered
around our immigration policies.
Several occurred in the years fol-
lowing Work! War II and since
that time immigration quotas
have been considerably liberal-
ized.
There is pending legislation to
grant entry into this country of
relatives of citizens, which would
have the potential of increasing
the over-all quotas considerably.
This issue has always been
sensitive since the make-up of
the Congress represents many
ethnic origins, each with a sym-
pathy towards the country of its
forebears. Especially is this true
with the Italians of which there
are approximately 15 in the
House of Representatives. The
Irish are also in prominence.
A Presidential commission on
population growth addresses it-
self to this question in its third
and concluding report. The com-
mission gives weight to the ef-
fect of immigrants on the United
States population growth in the
immediate years ahead, Ad-
mittedly, it leaves a number of
questions unanswered as to how
a more strict policy of immigra-
tion could be achieved but it
dues say that immigrants con-
tributed mightily to the country's
development but have also creat-
ed probiems. It recognizes that
our immigration laws have re-
flected a compassion for the op
17th District
pressed and the tradition should
not be tossed aside, although the
problem of overpopulation must
and should be reckoned with.
The report says the time has
come to look at our immigration
policy in the light of a number
of considerations. The docu-
ment points out that because fer-
tility rates in the United States
have been declining, immigrants
now account for a substantial
part of our pouulation growth. It
makes the point that 400,000 im-
migrants entering the United
States yearly now represent 1/5
of the total annual increase. If
immigration continues at this
level, the report says, and if all
families were to average two
children each, then, immigrants
arriving between 1970 and the
year two thousand, plus their
descendants, would number 15
million and account for nearly
one quarter of tlie total popula-
tion increase during this period.
The number would go up if the
figures on illegal aliens continue
to rise.
The commission did make one
clear recommendation. It ap-
pears to be the easy one and re-
flects some sentiments being
voiced in the Congress. This is
to pass legislation imposing civil
and criminal sanctions on em-
ployers who knowingly hire illeg-
al border-crossers.
It is hardly reasonable that an
employer should have to determ-
ine whether an employee had tne
proper credentials or not. Sure,
he could ask the question but
whatever answer he got would
hardly be proof that he knew the
employee was an alien. This
burden should not be placed on
the employer but since the Brac-
ero Labor Law repealed under
the influence of the labor unions,
the "wetbacks" practice has
been the only way many Mexi-
cans across the border could
find a way to make a living. The
type of labor sought by farmers
and ranchers was not and is not
available among our own citi-
zens.
The commission's final report
noted the "inconsistency"' of
planning population stability
while admitting large numbers
of immigrants each year. While
the majority of the commission
recommended against raising
immigration levels, it also voted
against any move to tilt down-
ward the annual number allow-
ed to come and all this does is
putoff answering a difficult ques-
tion. This country, as the com-
mission suggested, needs to
know more about its immigrant
population and its governmental
agencies should keep better
abreast of immigrant impact on
its total population. Beyond that,
if Americans are to become ser-
ious about limiting the growth,
of our numbers, the need will
arise to fashion some kind of
formula to deal with the issue of
over-all population trends and
policy.
The prospect of dealing with
population growth is not immi-
nent although it is an overrid-
ding challenge of Jong-range ef-
fect. Untii there is a greater
awareness of the* long range
consequences, and because of
the sensitive nature of the is-
sues, any action will probably be
postponed for a considerable
time.
SMALLPOX IS RARE
AUSTIN.—In compliance with
State Board of Health regula-
tions, the University of Texas no
longer includes smallpox vacci-
nation in its medical require-
ments for new students.
UT Austin will continue to en-
force its other medical require-
ments however, says Dr. Paul C.
Trickett, director of the Student
Health Center.

Income Tax
Information
This column of questions and
answers on federal tax matters
is provided by the Internal Rev-
enue Service:
Q. I read that Congress pass-
ed a new tax law which chang-
ed the amount withheld from
pay for income tax. How does
this affect me?
A. Most taxpayers should file
a new Form W-4 Employee's
Withholding Exemption Certifi-
cates, claiming all the exemp-
tions to which they are entitled.
Many taxpayers also can claim
the new special withholding al-
lowance. And those who item-
ize deductions for large expenses
such as medical bills, interest on
home mortgages and state and
local taxes, can claim extra al-
lowances.
In either case, you may be
able to reduce your withholding
and increase your take-home
pay with no need to worry about
owing a large federal income tax
bill next year.
Q. I got a letter from an In-
ternal Revenue Service Center
disallowing a deduction on my
return. What should I do?
A. If you disagree with the
IRS action, you may mail addi-
tional information to the Service
Center to support the deduction.
On the other hand, if you ate
satisfied with the IRS explana-
tion for disallowing the deduc-
tion, sign the enclosed agree-
ment and mail it in the envelope
provided. If you do not have a
refund coming, you may pay the
additional tax at this time or pay
when billed.
Q. I know that the settlement
fee I paid in connection with my
new house is not deductible, but
can I add it to the basis of my
property so that the fee will be
taken into account in the event
I sell my home?
A. No. Certain settlement fees
or other charges paid solely to
compensate the lender for spe-
cific services he performs in con-
nection with the borrower's ac-
count, such as the lender's ap-
praisal fee, notary fees or the
cost of preparing the mortgage
note or deed of trust, cannot be
considered an additional cost of
the property and are not added
to the property's basis. However,
the cost of purchase commis-
sions, surveys, transfer taxes,
legal and recording fees may be
included in the basis of the pro-
perty. ,

"Texans shouldn't settle for anything less than the best in education. Because
we want the best for our children. Because we can have the best. We have the
talent We have the resources. What we haven't had is a commitment from state,
government to make education a priority item. I've madethat commitment As
governor, I'll insist that government share it"
