Th • Advi'ory Beard has Ixm
mstitut cl for three main reasons,
according to I)i Roy C McClung,
prc'id -nt ut th college. First, since
Wayland e an altibate of the Bap-
tist General C.inv-ntion of Texas,
it i' felt that th • direc t relation-
ship o the coll 'ge with the church-
es if the a a needs tu lx- .strength-
ened with a greater pattern of
immunicati >n b tw en the insti-
1 uti >n and th pa-tor.
Dr. McClung, as president of
Wayland. feels the necessity "i
such a board f >r his |x'isonal feed-
In k. counsel and advice. The
third reason for the organization
is th profit which the pastors on
th • b iard can gain through con-
tact with the den in.nuti-mal school
of the area.
It was decided at the meeting
council wou | serve as a bason
group with the council as a whole.

Tie bi-monthly meeting of Wo-
man’s Study Club was held Tues-
day, January 25, in the home of
Mrs. Raymond F’outeh with 15
members prevent. During the brief
business session conducted by Ihe
president, Iwila Petty, a leave of
absence was granted to two mem-
bers, Mrs. V incent Black and Mrs.
Blake Heflcy. The treasurer. Mis.
W V Swinburn, reported that the
annual club d >nations have been
made to Tulia Day Nursery, Girl
Seoul. , and State Mental Hospital
at Wichita Falls.
V program on ronservatron was
given by Mrs Garden Gatcwoid
and Mrs Rob :t Little who inform-
ed th.- group of crucial water pro-
blems lacing the state as outlined
by the Texas Water Dcvebvpment
Board. I. mg range planning by this
board includes the- Texas Water
Plan which was describe! as "a
flcxibl • guide- for the orderly de-
velopment, conservation, and wise
management of the dates water
res juices to meet the n d' of
our expanding state to the year
202(1 ’’ Texans are cautioned that
th< re is not enough wal o avail-
able in the state to meet needs be-
yond the 19K(l’s, thus sources of
supplementary water a r e neces-
sary, including importation of wa-
ter from elsewhere.
The current level of agricultural
development and potential, increas-
ed municipal requirements result-
ing from greater industrial growth
and heavy population tn-nds, and
the unpre ed ntcd demand for wa-
ter - oriented recreation are some
of the more ev ident needs ushing
the implementation of some kind
of water development plan into the
very forefront of concerns. It af-
fect.-; all aie.is of the state, the
agri ultu:ally orient.-d Plains area
certainly rxi less than others.
The Texas Water Plan proposed
by the development board takes in-
to account Ihe .sources of water
available 11 Texas now or |xissibly
in the near future:
Normal climatic source. Ground
water from aquitier.s, including the
large Ogallala aquifier underlying
West Texas, Surface water from
Likes and streams. Reuse and re-
clamation of waste wsiter. Desalt-
ing ocean water, cloud-seeding or
cither weather modification. Water
fiom out-of-state sources .'Uch as
the Missisippi River.
Many problems loom when the
actual business of implementing
such a ma"ive program .omes into
focus. An adequate distribution sys-
tem would involve local, state, and
federal intergovernmental relation
shi|i.s; water rights would become
a paramount issue; financial con-
siderations are staggering; admin
istiatuon and management of De-
program would assume colossal
proportions. The challenge of sup-
plying water for Texas seems to
almost defy man’s ingenuity, yet,
t h e consequences of failure to
act now pres*int an even more
frightening picture for the next
generation.
K ir roll call, each club member
was asked ro an-w r the question,
"Where will our water come
from in the 1980’s?"
