SEPTEMBER 22, 1966
A REPORT FROM VIRGIL L. CARAWAY
COMMISSIONER PRECINCT # 1
Much progress has been made on our rural
roads this summer in spite of the heavy rains
we have received. Several clay hills have
been covered with sand and many miles of
ditches have been cleaned in order to give us
better drainage. Good drainage is essential
in maintaining good roads. Our thanks go to
Southwestern Settlement and Development Co.
and Kirby Lumber Company for the sand we
have used.
We assisted in cleaning up the unsightly gar-
bage dump along Highway 96 near Village
Creek. I would like to encourage the use of
two county dumping grounds. They are loca-
ted on Highway 418 near Village Creek and
four miles north of Silsbee on the old Spurger
Highway.
We were able to finish paying for the new
maintainer which was purchased last year.
As funds are available, we will buy more
equipment in order to better serve the needs
of the people of this precinct.
I recently attended an Institute on Eminent
Domain in Dallas which should help in solving
Right-Of-Way problems.
I would appreciate receiving any suggestions
that you may have on our precinct or county
business. My duties and obligations are to
the people of this precinct and not to any par -
ticular group or individuals. I will continue
to represent the people of this precinct to the
best of my ability.
If I am NEEDED, DO NOT HESITATE TO
CALL ME at EV-55501 during the day or EV
5-2920 at night. My Foreman, E. J. Jones,
can be reached at EV-5-3624.
THE PINE NEEDLE
CHURCH WORLD SER-
VICE HELPS FIGHT
INDIA’S POVERTY
Church World Service has just
shipped three hundred and fifty
(350) tons of fertilizer from the
port of Galveston destined for
India to help that country’s strug-
gle against starvation according
to Norman A. Sundwall, Texas
Field Representative for CWS.
CROP, the community resource-
es program of Church World Ser-
vice , will be providing approxi-
mately one-fourth of the cost of
this shipment and an additional
fifteen hundred (1500) tons to
follow in about thirty days. The
balance is being provided by oth-
er resources of Church World Ser-
vice , the Protestant relief agency
of twenty-four denominations in
the U. S.
The cargo now enroute con-
tains two hundred (200) tons of
Ammonium Phosphate. Hie lat-
ter shipment is expected to be
Urea.
The fertilizer will be consigned
to AFPRO (Action for Food Pro-
duction) in New Delhi, recently
formed by Catholic and Protest-
ant agencies in India for a united
Christian attack upon India’s cur-
rent food crisis.
AFPRO, the first organization of
its kind in the world, has been
hailed by the Indian Govern -
ment’s Ministry of Food and Ag-
riculture as a most encouraging
development in voluntary aid.
Its major attack is aimed basi-
cally at improving India's own
agricultural production.

GULF? STATES UTILITIES COMFVKIMT
When it’s "too hot for house-
work” there are many house-
hold chores that are more fun
because of the heat. Hook up
a hose or two to the hot and
cold water of the laundry room
and run them out a window.
Put the whole family into bath-
ing suits and see how many
hard-to-scrub items are easier
to wash outdoors than in. For
example: Kitchen and porch
furniture; baby's crib, high
chair or bassinette; Venetian
blinds, screens and storm win-
dows. Even the tiny toddler can
have a bucket and small
sponge and be set to Work on
scrubbable toys and wheeled
goods.
OUTWITTING THE WEATHER
The more outdoor living you
do, the less indoor housekeep-
ing there is to do. A large
trash basket and a small
coaster wagon equipped with
a soak-sink does most of your
meal time cleanup on the spot.
A larger coaster wagon, or a
wheeled table, could include
wash water, rinse water and
drying rack. The sun is an ex-
cellent sanitizer.

extension telephones can be located wherever you need them. No more
running, just reach when the phone rings. Save steps and add personal
convenience to your home. The cost for extensions is just a fraction of
