Five-Day Valley Livestock Show
Opens March 17th at Mercedes
The 32nd annual Rio Grande Val-
ley Livestock Show and Rodeo at
Mercedes officially opens next week,
Wednesday, March 17th, with the
grand parade in downtown Merce-
des and the show grounds will open
to the public at 4 p.m. for the first
time for the five-day event, which
will end Sunday night, March 21st,
with the auction of the fat calves.
The show this year has many of
the popular exhibits of previous
years and some new ones.
Some of the exhibits that always
are popular with the public are the
Texas Wildlife Dept, animal and
bird exhibit, the children’s pet show;
the youth education exhibits, the
PFA farm shop exhibits, the youth
horse show, quarter horse show, the
“Action Spot” where amateus will
entertain.
The commercial exhibits, both in-
side and outside, are very popular.
There are the hundreds of exhib-
its of FFA, 4-H and others in calves,
hogs and chickens, in addition to
breeding stock in hogs and cattle,
exhibited by both youths and adults.
The adult exhibits of cattle number
in the hundreds and breeders come
from all over South Texas to show
their best stock.
Overshadowing nearly all of the
events at the showgrounds is the
rodeo, with Tommy Steiner of Aus-
tin the producer. He has been the
producer of the rodeo at the Live-
stock Show for a number of years.
Performances will total five, with
two on Saturday at 3 and 8 p.m.,
and one on Sunday, the last day, at
Community Center.».
(Continued from Page 1)
work with the hoard of directors; in-
ability to work with school officials;
inability to work with established
city groups, and inadequate super-
vision of employees, specifically
clerical.
Very little business was transact-
ed by the board, as the main item
was the status of the executive di-
rector.
$35,000 Budget Adopted
The hoard did adopt a budget of
$35,000 for the next year, and set the
salary of the executive director at
$9,220, an increase of $300 over the
last year.
President Robles announced that
the investigation of the part of the
Valley Community Center had, if
any, in the Pjeftrr violence Feb. 6th,
was incomplete, mainly because the
grand jury was still investigating
the entire affair, and witnesses who
appeared before the grand jury
could not talk freely, until after the
Grand Jury completes its investiga-
tion.
Rev. Juan Canales, chairman of
a retreat committee, said plans had
not been completed for this affair.
SUNNY SIDE UP

cording star and guest TV singer on

Bill Involving
“Closed Door”
Meetings Proposed
A bill to require notice before and
posting of minutes afterward con-
cerned closed-door meetings of pub-
lic agencies was heard by the House
State Affairs Committee in Austin
this week.
Closed meetings now can be held
legally to discuss personnel, real
estate or security matters.
Bill by Rep. Dave Allred of Wich-
ita Falls would not ban these meet-
ings, but would require notice in ad-
vance that they are to be held. With-
in three days, under the bill, min-
utes sketching the action which took
place in the closed meeting would
have to be made public. Bill went to
sub-committee for study.
Meanwhile, Sen. Mike McKool of
Dallas introduced a bill (SB 314) to
require publishers, broadcasters and
billboard concerns to charge their
“lowest” rate for political advertis-
ing. Bill proposes $100 fine and re-
covery action for “excess charge.”

Pan American Closes
For Spring Break
Pan American University will
close its doors at the end of this
week and take a spring break with
classes resuming March 22.
Not only will classes be dismissed
for the week, the administrative
and business offices will be closed
and so will the library.
As Pan American moves to get
onto the state-approved common
schedule, the spring break replaces
what once was an Easter holiday
which usually consisted of a Good
Friday and a Monday-after-Easter
holiday to give out-of-Valley students
traveling time.
