RISD should spend on music
program as well

TEXAS STATE RAILROAD
Texas T party to hit Texas State RR
As a fiscal conservative, but
one that believes in charitable
help for the poor, I was sur-
prised to discover that Rusk
ISD does not provide band in-
struments for very financially
unable students.
I was told that the school
will “provide for tubas and
French horns, since these in-
struments may cost as much
as $10,000. But you can rent
or buy most other instruments
for $150 or rent on a monthly
basis.”
Rental payments, or even
the purchase of a beginner
instrument for some families
living on disability or part-
time cash income is sometimes
a near impossibility.
All extracurricular activi-
ties are important to all stu-
dents. They add to the school
experience. Studies show that
music in particular improves
mental capabilities in all
learning areas.
If RISD can spend millions
on turf for the football field,
air conditioned basketball fa-
cilities and, most likely, fairly
hefty sums for needed inciden-
tals, why not some funds for
music? There is a small school
district — Laneville ISD — not
far from Rusk that has no air
conditioned facilities, yet they
have won numerous state
titles in basketball.
Right now, those students
are in the gym every time they
have an opportunity playing
basketball. Good facilities are
nice, but they do not make the
future contributing citizen.
I ask administrators, the
school board, citizens, parents
and alumni — let’s do some-
thing about this problem.

Permanent grave markers help
honor loved ones
ROMONDA WADE
Rusk
Your phone rings early one
morning. The caller — a fu-
neral home, a grave digger, a
cemetery trustee — is calling
to inform you they have just
dug into your loved one’s grave
because they were unaware it
was there. With the passing of
time and of people, the grave’s
location will become lost. Tem-
porary markers can become
illegible, get hit by the mowers
or pulled up by a curious child.
A simple, permanent marker is
all that is needed to keep this
from happening.
Most cemeteries are managed
by volunteers and financed by
donations and cannot afford to
purchase markers.

It may not be as well known
as the Boston Tea Party, but
a different type of tea party —
make that T Party — is on its
way to East Texas.
The 36th annual edition of
the Texas T-Party, celebrating
the Ford Model T, will be in
East Texas Oct. 2-5 with over
100 Model Ts in working condi-
tion roaring down the roads.
The group, led by the Hous-
ton Chapter of the Model T
Ford Club of America — the
Space City Ts - will visit Rusk
at 9 a.m. Oct. 3 with a stop at
the Texas State Railroad Rusk
Depot.
The cars will line up along
the road leading into the depot
campground before each car is
pulled in front of the TSR’s vin-
tage 1901 steam engine, #316.
After the photos, expected
to take around two-and-a-half
hours, the Model T drivers will
depart at 12:30 p.m. on the
train to Maydelle to see the
turntable in action, have lunch
on the train, then return to the
depot before heading back to
Lufkin’s Holiday Inn Express
on U.S. Highway 59 S.
On Oct. 2, the drivers will
visit Lufkin’s Texas Forestry
Museum, the Museum of East
Texas, the Lufkin Zoo, several
antique shops and a private car
show at the Pine Crest Retire-
ment Center. The group will
then have a public car show at
AlMeyerFordfrom4:30-7p.m.
After spending time in Rusk
Oct. 3, the group will head
to southern East Texas Oct.

Lufkin, the History Center in
Diboll, lunch at the Cassells-
Boykin Pavilion on Lake Sam
Rayburn and the Mission De-
lores in San Augustine.

old university building. The
group will have lunch at Clear
Springs Restaurant and then
head to Millard’s Crossing.
On the evening of Oct. 5,
there will be a final banquet
at Lufkin’s Crown Colony
Country Club.
The Model T Ford was
manufactured from Oct. 1,
1908 through May 27, 1927, a
period which produced around
15 million vehicles.
Currently, approximately
100,000 exist worldwide - sev-
eral of which will be featured
during the East Texas swing.
In 1908, they sold for $850
— the equivalent of $21,794
today. By the 1920s, due to in-
creased volume and increased
efficiency on the assembly line,
they sold for $260.
The car earned the nickname
“Tin Lizzie” after a champion-
ship car race in Pikes Peak,
Colo, in 1922. Driver Noel
Bullock entered his Model
T, which he nicknamed “Old
Liz.” The car was compared
by several spectators to a tin
can and was eventually called
“Tin Lizzie” before the start of
the race. The car went on to
win the race and the nickname
caught on.
