Texas lawmakers wrapped up
their toughest job, that of writ-
ing a record $873.3 million tax
bill, thus hopefully clearing the
way for adjounment of their ses-
sion by the May 31 deadline.
Top legislators said they feel
that with the tax issue out of the
way, they can complete con-
gressional and legislative re-
districting and other “must du-
ties this month.
Few legislators claimed to
be entirely satisfied with the
huge tax bill, but the House vo-
ted 100-46 to concur in Senate
amendments, bowing to the ar-
guments that a conference com-
mittee would only delay the in-
evitable.
Tremendous sentiment for
lawmakers to wind up the bitter,
complex session and get home
as quickly as possible was ap-
parent in the House vote.
Here are key provisions of
the tax bill which will become
effective July 1 if signed by
Governor Smith:
Auto sales and rental tax at
four per cent.
Franchise tax rate increase
from $3.25 to $4.50 per $1,000.
Cigarette tax raise from 15.
5 to 18.5 cents a pack.
Gasoline tax raise from five
to seven cents a gallon (and die-
sel fuel increase from 6.5 cents
to seven cents a gallon.)
Beer tax boost from $4.30 to
$6 a barrel.
House Speaker Gus Mutscher
who pushed for concurrence in
the Senate changes, indicated
an agreement has been reached
to roll back the beer tax in-
crease to $5 a barrel in sub-
sequent liquor-by-the-drink le-
gislation which will be voted on
later.
SMITH VETOES 10-2 JURY
VERDICTS--Governor Smith,
in his first veto message, Smith
claimed the bill would throw
the judicial system “into utter
chaos’’ and substantially in-
crease auto insurance pre-
miums.
GOVERNORS BLAST NIXON ON
DROUGHT--Governors of Te-
xas, New Mexico and Oklahoma
in statements here blasted the
Nixon administration for failure
to provide complete aid to their
drought-stricken areas.
Governors said they will ask
their congressmen to press
harder for disaster relief.
Meanwhile, Texas House
members on the drought com-
mittee visited Washington offi-
cials and found "some hope”

of low-interest federal loans.
Committee reports that far-
mers and ranchers are not ad-
equately informed on the types
of loans available to them and
asked for special meetings with
the Farmers Home Administra-
tion to explain aid which can be

WELFARE INCREASE--When
Social Security payments in-
crease next month, most aged,
blind and disabled in Texas will
also get a slight income boost.
Social Security recipients
will get $4 more a month, as
will those on Old Age Assis-
tance who have no Social Se-
curity benefits.
State Welfare Board has au-
thorized a $1 monthly increase
in standards for blind and dis-
abled programs.
Texas public assistance re-
cipients will not have Social
Security increases retroactive
to January counted against state
grants.
STATE LAND LEASED--Texas
School Land Board accepted
$784,381 in high bids for leases
on 13, 436 acres of state-owned
land.
Highest bidder was Humble
Oil and Refining Company with
a $167,942 bid for 640 acres in
W'ard County.
Six bids were submitted on
70 upland tracts and 30 riverb-
ed tracts. Total bids came to
$1.17 million. Forty-five high
bids were accepted by the
Board.
Land Commissioner Bob
Armstrong said the Board was
pleased with the $58.38 average
price per acre.
Another state lease sale for
submerged lands is set for Ju-
ly 6.
18-YEAR-OLD VOTE NEARS-
Governor Smith signed a legi-
slative resolution giving for-
mal Texas ratification to a
federal constitutional amend-
ment extending full voting rights
to 18-year-olds.
Texas is one of 23 states
which has ratified the proposed
amendment. A total of 38 must
approve it by legislative action
to put it into effect.
Smith said he has “every
confidence” that the required
number of states will ratify
and “that by 1972 all citizens
over the age of 18 will have
the right and the responsibility
to vote. It is a likelihood to be
cherished by all and feared by
none.”
Medical Deductioas Are
Available To Veterans
Many veterans and widows
who are receiving VA pension,
as well as many parents re-
ceiving dependency and in
demnity compensation, are fail-
ing to claim deductible medical
and legal expense, thus depriv-
ing themselves of additional VA
benefits. Effective Oct. 7,1966,
VA pensioners were allowed to
deduct certain medical and legal
expenses from their total annual
income. In order to claim
these deductions, the person
must have been granted civi-
lian disability retirements,
such as Social Security, Civil
Service Retirement, etc. The
person is then entitled to claim
deductions for any medical or
legal expenses incurred on ac-
count of such disability or dis-
abilities. The cost of such me-
dical or legal disabilities may
be deducted from the total in-
come, providing increased VA
pension benefits. This same
provision was also made avail-
effective Jan. 1, 1967.
Generally, this deduction for
cost of medical or legal ex-
penses must be claimed at the
end of each calendar year. If
the deductions entitle a person
to increased pension or DIC,
the Increased award will be
retroactive to Jan. 1 of the
year involved. The annual in-
come questionnaire cards in
1970 provided spaces to claim
this deduction, and it is be-
lieved that the cards for 1971
will be similarly designed.
VA Form 21-8416, ‘ Request
for Information Concerning
Medical, Legal or Other Ex-
penses,” was designed to sim-
plify the matter of maintaining
| Four Windthorst FFA Students
Receive Achievement Awards
an accurate accounty of these
deductible expenses. Each Clai-
mant who is eligible to claim
these deductions should be given
a VA Form 21-8416, and ad-
vised to enter the appropriate
information as the expenses
are incurred each day, each
week, or each month. If the
form is accurately maintained
by the claimant, he will have a
ready reference at the end of
the year, showing the total a-
mount of medical or legal ex-
penses which can be deducted
for VA benefit purposes.
Jake Sheppard, service offi-
cer for Archer County will be
available to assist anyone re-
ceiving the VA pension with
questions or problems. He may
be contacted at the Fire De-
partment.

Social Security
If you change employers fre-
quently, be sure to check your
social security account at least
every three years. By doing
this, you can make sure that
your record is accurate. If an
error has been made in re-
porting your wages, it can us-
ually be corrected with little
effort. The form to use in
checking your account is a spe-
cial postcard which you can
get by calling the social se-
curity office. Or you can ask
for it at your local post of-
fice.
Fertilized Pastures Are
Drouth Tolerant
Four Windthorst FFA stu-
dents have been cited for out-
standing achievements in voca-
tional ag and will be presented
award plaques at the annual
awards banquet.
James Veitenheimer, son of
Mr. and Mrs. George Veiten-
heimer, has been selected as
this years winner of the FFA
Poultry Award.
His project program in poul-
try has been turkeys two years,
broilers two years, and broi-
ler breeding hens one year.
James raised the largest tur-
key ever raised in Archer Coun-
ty this past year and lost his 67
pound tom in February due to
the heat.
His project program in poul-
try has won many honors. He
had the Grand Champion tom,
3rd place tom, 12 & 13th place
hens, Archer Fair. Broilers
in the Archer Fair places 9th
and 11th and he sold 10 broilers
in Houston for $125.00.
James has turkeys again this
year and plans to feed and breed
broilers for Dallas State Fair,
Archer County Fair and Hous-
ton Livestock Show. James has
also found time to be on the
Livestock team, Sears Bull
Program and very active in all
of the FF A work.
Teddy Neeb, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Howard Neeb, has been
selected as this year’s winner
of the FFA Leadership Award.
Teddy attended the Bobby
Holder FFA Leadership Camp
last summer and has served
this past year as an officer
of the Local FFA. He also
has been on the FFA Parlia-
mentary Procedure Team the
past two years. He has been in
the District Public Speaking
Contest the past two years and
has attended all District Ban-
quets and meetings. Teddy also
found time to work on his pro-
ject program which consisted
of beef, dairy and poultry. Ted-
dy showed the Grand Champion
Beef heifer in the Archer Coun-
ty fair last fall and has a Sears
Registered Hereford bull. Ted-
dy won 3rd best beef records in
the Houston Livestock Show and
4th place on essay about beef,
competing against 200 boys.
Teddy has an excellent pro-
gram in farm shop, livestock,
and leadership according to his
advisor, Jim Jacobs.
Steve Wolf, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Cletus Wolf, has been
selected as this year’s winner
of the FFA Dairy Award.
Steve has two dairy heifers
as his project program. He al-
so was on the FFA Dairy Judg-
ing team that placed 9th in
Area out of 57 teams. Steve
has shown at the Windthorst
Dairy show and the Archer
County Fair where he got two
blue ribbons on his heifers.
David Schreiber, son of Mr.
Help protect yourself against
cancer: nave an annual health
checkup including cancer tests.
Pastures receiving ade-
quate plant food are able to with-
stand dry weather better, says
Neal Pratt, Extension agrono-
mist, Texas AAM University.
Recent dry weather in much
of Texas has shown the value
of adequate pasture fertiliza-
tion, he adds.
Pastures receiving adequate
plant food can produce three
times as much grazing--and
more--as pastures not receiv-
ing plant food, notes Pratt. Ev-
en during dry weather this dif-
ference can still be observed
in most Texas pastures.
Pastures receiving adequate
plant food have root systems
which grow to a greater depth
STEVE WOLF
and Mrs. J. P. Scheiber, has
been selected as this year’s
winner of the FFA Livestock
Award.
David has as his project pro-
gram, beef, hogs and sheep.
He showed two hogs and two
sheep at the Archer County
Fair last fall. He has been on
some of the FF A Livestock team
judging in different contests.
He helped win the sheep ex-
hibit at the Houston Livestock
Show and has had poultry pro-
jects also with his project pro-
gram. David presently owns
four head of stock calves, six
ewes, four lambs, two hogs
and plans to feed a steer for the
county fair.

Lone Star Gas Begins
New Billing System
Lone Star Gas Company re-
cently introduced computerized
billing service to customers in
three towns in the Wichita Falls
region of distribution, accord-
ing to C. L Neaves, vice pre-
sident.
‘ By establishing our new
Customer Information System
(CIS) in Clarendon, Olney and
Archer City, Lone Star Gas now
provides fast and efficient bill-
ing services to the 4,000 cus-
tomers served in this area,”
Neaves said.
According to Neaves, the cus-
tomer advantages are three-
fold. The CIS system provides
automated billing, which re-
duces the possibilty of clerical
error. In addition, because of
the speed and efficiency of this
system, the clerks have more
time to deal with customer In-
quiries. The third advantage of
the CIS system is that is pro-
vides more information to the
local managers and service re-
presentatives.
Lone Star Gas purchased gas
distribution and other related
properties in Clarendon, Ol-
ney and Archer City in April,
1970 and at that time, all the
billing was done by hand. The
introduction of computerized
billing service to these three
towns is part of a Lone Star
program to transfer all com-
pany billing procedures to the
new Customer Information Sys-
tem. “The Installation of this
service is a continuation of our
policy to provide our customers
with the best possible service,”
Neaves added.

NOTICE
OF EQUALIZATION
In obedience to the order of the Board of Equalization
regularly convened and sitting, notice is hereby given
that said Board of Equalization will be in session at its
regular meeting place In the Courthouse in the town of
Archer City, Texas, Archer County, Texas, at 10:00
a.m. on Monday, the 24th day erf May, 1971, for the pur-
pose of determining, fixing and equalizing the value of
any and all taxable property located in Archer County,
Texas, for taxable purposes for the year 1971, and any
and all persons interested or having business with said
Board are hereby notified to be present.

in the soil. This enables plants
to obtain moisture and creates
healthier plants. The additional
root system helps the soil accu-
mulate and store the rain-
fall which occurs, thereby con-
serving the soil and water re-
sources.
Pasture plants receiving ade-
quate plant food have greater
leaf area, but less evaporation
than plants not receiving ade-
quate plant food, continues the
agronomist.
Although the benefit of pas-
ture fertilization may not be
as great in dry weather as in
years with normal rainfall, the
agronomist advises that fertili-
zation during drouth can still be
expected to return dividends.
Many result demonstrations
during recent years have shown
the advantages of using adequate
plant food during periods of
low rainfalL Because April,
May and June usually are the
most favorable months for
growing spring and summer
grazing, the agronomist urges
livestock producers to be sure
adequate fertilizer is available
to utilize moisture when re-
ceived.
