Austin, Tex — Texas' 58th present "standard o! living"
Legislature soars off the
launching pad this week
Predictions are that it’ll be
orbiting around the Capitol
for many months to come—
certainly long enough to put
to good use the air condition*
ers newly installed in the
Legislative chambers
Many have suggested the
58th will have to have one or
more special sessions before
Comptroller Calvert's offi-
cial revenue estimate this
year Is a far cry from the one
he made two years ago for
the 55th Legislature. In that
well-heeled era Calvert fore-
cast approximately a $50,000,-
000 surplus. No one paid too
much attention to outgoing
House Speaker Jim Lindsey’s
prophecy that spending
needs would outrun this ftg-

problems Certainly before good years and bad, the
they can leave, the lawmak-! Legislature Is bound by law to

thankleas task of levying jtn the comptroller’s revenue

taxes
Additionally, they’ll be be
set on all sides for new
spending programs

taxes.
After several months of
this, outer space may look in-
vitingly calm compared to

Spiritual Thought
Of The Week ...
By Rev. Bill Leonard
first Preabyterian Church j
Often times people will
hesitate about certain words
before using them in the
presence of a minister, or
they will refrain from doing
certain things when a minis-
ter is around. Just as soon as
the minister has gone, these
Individuals will do or say
exactly what they please with
no thought as to It being
right or wrong
These individuals may re-1
fraln from doing these things
out of respect to the office of
the ministry, or because of a
feeling of guilt about their
actions Regardless of what
their motive may be, they
have not hidden their actions
from Ood, because God Sees
and Hears all.
If an individual U to live a
true Christian life, he must
be the same at all times. Ood
Is with us all the time, and
knows our every thought,
word and deed. In order to be
a true Christian, live as
though Ood were there in
person watching you and lis-
tening to your every word,
live as though Christ was
taking every step with you
Be proud of what you do and
say, live according to God’s j
Standards all the time.
God Sees and Hears all.
how does your life measure
under these standards?
