WE DON’T LIKE the "caucus plan"
of voting on Democratic presidential
candidates. Some 183 persons voted in
our precinct three, vet only 33 voted
on the presidential candidates via the
precinct convention at 7:15 Saturdav
night.
We’re in favor of doing everything
possible to get people to vote. Hardly
a third of the 4401 qualified voters
took time to vote in Saturday's pri-
mary election. . . ^nd only a very-
small percentage attended the precinct
convention to caucus for selection of a
presidential candidate.
Heck, it's hard enough to get people
to vote one time. . . and extremely
hard to get them to make another trip
to town to vote again. . . and many
people who have jobs can't be at the
convention exactly at 7:15 p.m.
Our precinct convention passed a
resolution seeking restoration of voting
for presidential candidates four years
from now on the regular voting ballot.

HOPE YOU’LL NOTICE the story
about the Canyon Trail Ride. Proceeds
of the riding event go to the Head

me that if you cannot make the ride,

WE HAVE BEEN INTRIGUED for
many years about the possibilities of
generating electricity with wind power.
We’ve observed some wind chargers
that were hooked to irrigation wells. .
. . and just couldn't cut it.
Wind energy is now another crop in
California, where 50 million kwh were
generated in 1983 and sold to utilities.
At 7 cents/kwh. that is a crop worth
3.5 million dollars.
It you re interested in wind energy,
you may want to attend the "Wind
Farming In Texas" seminar at WTSU
May 18. We have the complete pro-
gram here at the Herald if you want a
copy.
WE REGRET THE LOSS of the
Ronnie Latham family, hut we're glad
Ronnie is taking the opportunity to
advance in his profession. Denton is
gonna get a mighty fine family. Our
best wishes to Ronnie!
JUST FOR THE RECORD, we re a
minute slower than last year. Yep. we
ran and walked the two miles Saturday-
morning in a little over 22 minutes.
We beat that about a minute last year.
But. we were able to beat one of
Tulia's best runners. . . a Boston
Marathoner. . . Don Sanderson. Don
walked the two miles this year. . .
some of his running mechanism is
broken. Doctor says he'll have to
lay-off running for awhile.
Band Director Tim Ellis skated the
two miles. . . pretty good time too!
Now. next year, we're gonna do a
little running before the big race. . .
gotta get that time down. Of course
we don’t really have a chance since
Boyd Vaughn is competing in our age
group.
We don't really sec how we can be
a winner until we get in the 60-99
group. . . gotta grow out of Boyd's
bunch.
I MUST have competition. . . or
some sort of inspiration to do close to
my best. In the two mile run Saturday,
when I started slowing down a young
feller by the name of Dane Swinburn
(five years of age) would pass me. . .
