Cedar Hill Favored By Rain
The weather seems to
be playing favorites with
some of the communities
around Dallas. Some are
getting their fair share
of rain, while others are
receiving only promises.
“It’s a rather strange
situation,” a National
Weather Service (NWS)
spokesman said. ‘‘We’ve
been in a downward rain-
fall trend for nearly
three years here in
north Texas, yet there
are spotty areas where
the moisture is running
close to normal.
The southwestern
section of Dallas County
seems to be the favored
area-rainwise- so far in
July.
In August, if nature
keeps up her capricious
capers, the northeastern,
or northwestern, section
may come out ahead.
Cedar Hill and one
part of Grand Prairie,
for example, both got
.50 inch or rain July 4,
while Dallas Love Field,
Garland, Plano and Mes-
quite recorded only a
trace. Mansfield, just
down the mountain from
Cedar Hill, got soaked
with a 2.09 inch deluge.
Mrs. Marie Vincent,
city secretary and un-
official climatologist for
Cedar Hill, said, ‘‘We
really got a nice rain on
the morning of the 4th.
Midlothian, also, got a
heavy shower.”
The July 4th rain was
so heavy south of Grand
Prairie, according to a
fireman, “cows nearly
bogged down in the
mud.”
NWS said the “spot-
ted nature” of the rain-
fall is usually more
noticeable during mod-
era te-to-s eve re drought
conditions, such as
North Central Texas is
experiencing. “When
your immediate area is
really dry, you notice
every little shower that
ialls on somebody
else's backyard,” a
spokesman said.
Dallas, which had re-
ceived only 9.43 inches
of rain since Jan. 1, is
experiencing its worst
drought in 20 years. A-
verage precipitation be-
tween January and the
end of July is 21.73
inches. This means
'alias will have to get
12.30 inches before
July 31 to reach its av-
erage.
The same unfavorable
picture, with a few
minor exceptions, exists
in a 100-mile-wide
stretch of North Texas,
from Texarkana in the
east to Childress in the
for Dallas
is not good at
west. The drought pattern SZSSttS »
DIP KS fin R aR in in Mour i• ;_______ _c ____i_
picks up again in New
Mexico and reaches out
across Arizona to South-
ern California.
Dallas, it seems, is
in the worst dilemma.
Percentage-wise, it
has received only 46
percent of its normal
precipitation for the
year. Fort Worth has re-
ceived 49 percent of its
expected moisture. Wa-
co has gotten 54 percent
lion—an increase of nearly
$114 billion over the previous
year.
• Insurance companies alone
paid $9.5 billion of this total—
ah increase of more than $408
million over the year before.
• Persons covered by insur-
ance company policies received
$4.6 billion under hospital ex-
pense policies, and $1.6 billion

tection.

Postal Myths & Facts
Congressional mail is free. Why do those
Congressmen and Senators get to send all
the mail they want to and the Post Office doesn’t
charge them a cent? No wonder the Postal Service
has a deficit, paying for all that and other government
mail, too.
rjr*r Lower your blood pressure, folks, it just looks
free. The Clerk of the House, who handles the
annual mail bill for both the House and the Senate,
paid $14 million last year for the mail sent by Con-
gressmen and Senators. This year he has budgeted
$18 million. Likewise, all federal government agen-
cies are charged for the mail they send.
Foreign mail systems are better than ours.
We could learn a lot from the foreigners.
tvy^rAs readers of Postal Life know by now, the
most sophisticated European and Asian na-
tions have the same postal problems that we do in
trying to deliver mail in the 20th century with 18th
century methods. But they don’t share the burden of
the world’s highest volume of mail over great dis-
tances. Some of the other countries may have equal
or greater distances, but none has our volume.
Postal rates are too high and have gone up
too fast.
rjtr^r The way to answer that misstatement is to
invite the person who uttered it out to find a
nickel beer and the free lunch that goes with it. Or
you could suggest that they look at the date on to-
day’s paper—it’s 1972. (Or look at the price of the
paper. Once stamps and daily newspapers both sold
for 30. Now the newspaper costs 100 or 150.) And
what can you buy for 80 anymore? Where else can
you put down a dime and get back change?
The new U.S. Postal Service is a corporation
that aims to make a profit.
That’s a new myth, if there is such a thing. It
just shows that in these days of fast com-
munications myths are established in a hurry. The
Postal Reorganization Act of 1970 made the U.S.
Postal Service “an independent establishment of the
executive branch of the Government of the United
States. . . .” The act further requires that “rates and
fees should provide sufficient revenues so that total
estimated income and appropriations . . . will equal
as nearly as practicable total estimated costs. . . .”
There’s nothing in there about making a profit. And
there’s no intention to make a profit. We are still a
government service and not a private business.
Mail service was better in 1922 than it is in
1972.
rjr*T Could you get across country in five hours
v BW* then as you can now? Of course not. The
Postal Service suffers when cities can’t solve their
traffic congestion problems because our trucks get
stuck in the traffic. In some areas the 1922 service
was better than 1972, but in some other areas it’s
better today.
Council Meet—
The Council unani-
mously adopted a writ-
ten resolution supporting
residents' efforts to halt
application made by the
city so the full cost
could have been includ-
ed in the request. The
report of the elevation of
Dallas water was of con-
cern because it affects
the city’s ability to get
an adequate amount of
water through the pro-
posed lines.
