Hornets Determined To Sting Mustangs
By LYNDON HARDIN
The 1976 football season
opens this Friday night in
Olton w fieri the Tulia Horn-
ets take on the Mustangs at 8
p m. The Hornets return four
offensive and four defensive
starters from a team that
Finished with an 8-2 record
for last year's season. Mem-
bers returning from last
year's squad inelude: Steve
Brown. Larry Anderson, Jim-
my Freeman, Joe Gar/a,
Gary Hutson and Larry Bil-
lingsley.
Scrimmages the past two
weeks against Hale Center
and Slaton have helped the
Hornets pinpoint some areas
w here improvement is still
needed. Against the Owls
the first week, the Hornets
were less than impressive,
although they scored two
touchdowns to one for Hale
Center. Showing marked im-
provement. especially offen-
sively, Coach Karl Miller's
unit was able to battle the
Tigers to a 3-3 stand-off.
Going into Friday night's
contest against Olton. Tulia
will be without the services
of Russell Daniel (separated
shoulder), Randall Reeves
(hairline fracture of ankle),
and probably Jimmy Free-
man (injured knee). Howev-
er. these positions have been
filled bv players Alex
Vaughn, Mark Buchanan,
and Chris Love who arc very
capable of handling these
assignments.
Making up the roster for
the opening game will be:
Steve Brown, Don Bur-
gess. Jimmy Garcia, Roy
Sherrod, Larry McCaslin,
Larry Anderson, Mark Bu-
chanan. Craig Breedlove.
Randall Reeves, Jerry Wil-
liams. Larry Billingsley, Chet
Ebeling. Victor Guterriz,
John Cox, Gary Hutson,
Chris Love, Kelly House.
Alex Vaughn. Ricky Raper.
Russell Nelson. Russell Dan
iel. Julian Vigil. Trent Finck,
Andy Mays, Ramiro Bernal,
Eldon Wesley, Jimmy Free-
man, Michael Zeeck, Joe
Gar/a, Jeff Wilks and Bobby

^ EVERAI. TIMES RECENTLY we have
alluded to the growth and development
of our federal and state bureaucracy, how
legislators come up with an idea with merit,
pass a law. establish a bureau, but by the
Crooks Delivers First
Corn To Star Feedlot
time the once good idea is implemented, it is
hardlv recognizable as something which
once had merit.
Instead, the bureaucrats establish a
little empire with the primary object of
building a power structure and job security
tor themselves—and the intent of the
original law is completely lost!
A^EREl.Y IMPLEMENTING THE ori-
■wBgnul purpose of the law might not be
a fulltime job. it might not |ustif\ employing
thousands and thousands ot bureaucrats
throughout the 50 states as well as in
Washington In tact, the bureau, if it
accomplished onlv its original purpose,
might even work itself out of a job—and a
multi million dollar payroll is lost!
So it is that something must be done to
creati activity, to create statistics to take
before (ongress and the budget bureau
whin time comes to request continuing
appropriations.
mo IT IS Til AT these damn fools begin to
^■extend their snooping digging deeper
and deeper into the private lives of persons
and institutions, extending the scope of their
responsibilities.
We've seen it in the iasi of such
worthw hile activ ities as dav care centers and
nurseries, ridiculous regulations as to how
nunv employees are required to care for a
c h i III I he pa v roll ot the lulia Dav Nurserv is
excessive, completely unrealistic, not be-
vaiisc local persons wjnt it that way but
hi ausc of state and federal regulations
Perhaps the welfare of the ihild is a
minor consideration, but the major consider-
ation is maintaining and increasing the
bureaucratv Making endless reports and
inspections will provide good jobs for a lot of
bureaucrats— and the pay is quite attractive.

■ 1ST TO TRACE Ihc history of this
^■iditKv. we went through our records the
other dav to sec how the idea of the
Occupational Nalctv and Health Act came
about
It was in I9"() that Congress completed
ai lion on a bill establishing a comprehensive
on-the-job safety program for about 55
million industrial, farm and construction
workers employed by firms engaged in
interstate commerce. I he legislation gave
the Secretary of Labor authority to set safety
and health standards lor the protection of
workers and created a three member com-
mission to enforce regulations.
il'TIES OE EMPLOYERS, as set for in
'the act. were simple. 1 he bill now get
this "required employers to furnish a work
place free from recognized hazards that had
caused or were likely lo cause death or
serious physical harm to employees."
Now what has that to do with flush
toilets in cotton patches and scraps of paper
