JACK HIGHTOWER
An independent Congressman in
the tradition of Texas leadership
Jack Hightower promised the voters of the 13th
District when they sent him to Congress four years
ago that he would represent all of them fairly and
honestly He promised to provide an independent^
voice in Washington. He promised to work tuii-time at
the job. HE HAS KEPT THOSE PROMISES.
Hera is what those who know Jack Hightower’s record say about
his effectiveness:
.. in two terms Hightower has established himself as a mem-
ber of the Agriculture Committee and the Government Operations
Committee whose voice must be reckoned with in arriving at
solutions to two of the nations’s most pressing domestic issues
— problems confronting today’s farmer, and inflation ..
Amarillo Dally Naim, May 1,1978
“... Jack Hightower from Texas is one of the newer class and, in
fact, Bob Poague and I like to think he’s the kind of refreshing
leader of the newer members coming to Washington in a recent
session or so, and Jack is a former state senator and has been a
tremendously effective lawmaker...”
Congressman Charles Thona of Nabraaka
.. Hightower is serious about his business in Washington. He
is just as serious about trying to maintain a normal lifestyle in a
city where normal is often viewed as abnormal...”
Jim Craig, Houston Post, October 8,1978
“... I want you to know that we as farmers are truly grateful to
have a representative in Washington who does such a fine job of
telling our story ... thank you for all that you have done for
America’s farmers ..
Mrs. Georgia Holt, Spearman, Texas
”... I want to express our thanks for your hard work to benefit
Texas wheat farmers in the House Committee on agriculture ... I
know that some of your votes and stands on the issues took real
courage (or a Democrat, and I want you to know how much I per-
sonally appreciate them ...”
Wlnaton Wilson, Farmer, Quanah, Texas
“... Hightower has shown a willingness to listen to the needs of
his constituents and the ability to legislate on their behalf ..”
Amarillo Dally News, May 1,1978
.. Almost everyone on the Hill knows about Jack Hightower...
the Congressman who votes his conscience, represents his
district by organic Instinct, but is capable of rising above
parochial considerations when national interests are at stake.
The same qualities that made him an intluentiai state senator for
10 years — scrupulous honesty and an appetitie for hard work —
have served him well in Washington, but these alone do not ex- *
plain the high regard in which he is held. In a town over-
populated by small people with large egos, It is a relief to find
one for whom the reverse la true..
Texas Monthly, May, 1978
That’s the kind of Congressman Jack Hightower has
been since he took his oath in January, 1975. It’s why
he has earned the respect of hie colleagues and the
confidence of people throughout this district... from
both political parties. Jack Hightower, Democrat, has
earned another term. Vote November 7.

save energy in the laundry.
It's not necessary to wash
everything in hot water.
Most loads will come clean in
a warm wash and a cold rinse
Sort laundry according to
type of fabric, color-fastness
and garment construction.
When possible, wash full loads or use your
water level selector for smaller loads.
Use hot water only for heavily soiled items.
When drying clothes, you can increase
