Nov. 3-5 The 19th Annual Cow-
boy Fiesta, San Angelo. Kicking
off with a big western dance in the
city colosseum Friday night, the
fiesta gets down to business at 2
p.m. Saturday afternoon with calf
roping at the fair grounds. Another
dance is scheduled Saturday night.
The closing event, steer roping,
follows at 2 p.m. Sunday. Thirty
calf ropers will try their skills in
the Saturday contest and there will
be a matched contest between a
top roper from Texas and one
from Oklahoma. Twenty-three
ropers will each cast their loops at
four different steers during the
Sunday event. Tickets to the rop-
ing contests, $3 for each day, may
be ordered from the San Angelo
Stockshow and Rodeo Association,
Box 712, San Angelo, Tex. 76901

Nov. 4-5 & 11-12 Highland Lakes
Arts & Crufts Trail. Now in its
fifth year, this nine-fair event fea-
tures programs, Nov. 4-5, in Mar-
ble Falls, Burnet, Bertram, Lam-
pasas, Buchanan Dam, Kingsland,
Llano and Mason. On the second
weekend, fairs will be held in
Austin, Buchanan Dam and
Mason. Each of the fairs is spon-
sored by the local chamber of
commerce and offers for sale items
produced by local artists and
craftsmen. For a free brochure and
map of the trail, write Box 1967,

Nov. 17 The 9th Annual Beer
Hunters Barbcque, Bandera. Free
to all deer hunters hunting in Ban-
dera County, this event drew 1,400
last year for barbecued beef,
sausage and beer. Held at the
Recreation Center two miles nor-
thwest of Bandera on State High-
way 16 north, the barbeque begins
at 6 p.m. For $1.50 each, non-
hunters too many enjoy this pre-
hunt feast.

Nov. 18 World Championship
Chili Cook-Off, Terlingua. One
doesn’t just “happen by” this event
— Terlingua, the ghost town on
the northern boundary of Big Bend
National Park is definitely not on
the “the beaten path". In spite of
this, approximately 5,000 turned
out for this off-beat program last
year, and as many, or more, arc ex-
pected this year. Last year national
media coverage was extensive,
VIP’s abounded and “characters’’
were common place. This year
there will be food and beverage
concessions in operation, but for
those w-ithout sleeping bags, over-
night accommodations will be a
problem. The Chisos Mountain
Lodge in Big Bend National Perk
is booked well in advance. Reser-
vations in Marfa and Alpine
usually prove to be the best bet.

October 20, 1972
Dear Friends:
The 92nd Congress at last ad-
journed. For some time we won-
dered if it was going to get ad-
journed at all. I have never
known a session that se med to
have as much difficulty quit-
ting. For the past 10 days both
Houses have been in session al-
most continuously and running
far into the night. We have
passed great volumes of legis-
lation — some of which I have
discussed from time to time.
Basically, most of our legisla-
tion has been predicated on the
assumption that we could, by
the expenditure of federal
funds, make everyone prosper-
ous and happy. I think this is a
terrible mistake. Certainly, we
can achieve much by these ex-
penditures but we should realize
that we can only provide oppor-
tunity and that government can
never substitute for individual
initiative. Nor can we reduce the
tax burden on the people by
shifting responsibility of local
and state governments to the
federal government. As I pointed
out last week, I think the idea
of Revenue Sharing is funda-
mentally unsound but the bill

DO YOU KNOW THE
UNIT PRICE?
Nearly everyone has at some-
time pondered the value differ-
_ c-nce between, the three pound
economy size of “whats-it” for
$1.08 and the 33'7 ounce jumbo
size of the same product that
sells for 61c. To add to the con-
fusion even more you may find
a 20 ounce regular size box a-
vailable for 43c. Most people
can figure out the size that of-
fers the best cost per ounce
value, but it takes time.
The unit pricing system aids
in solving this type of problem
for consumers. Unit pricing is a
subject which has been written
and talked about a lot. Several
'state legislatures have intro-
duced unit pricing laws. New
York City supermarkets are now
required to comply with unit
pricing regulations. Some Texas
stores have adopted unit pricing
syst.ans. But many consumers
still ask "what is it?"
Unit pricing' is simply a plan
in which the price of the mer-
chandise is shown on the pack-
age in two ways. The total price
of the item is shown, but in ad-
dition there is a price per unit
shown. For example: If a one-
pound package of shelled pecans
sells for $1.60, this price would
be shown on the package. Addi-
tionally, the unit price of 10c
per ounce would be shown on
tlic package. If a ten ounce
package of pecans sold for $1.10
the package would show the
total price of $1.10 and it would
also disclose the unit price of
11c an ounce. You could see at
a glance that the pecans in the
! one pound package cost one cent
less per ounce than the pecans
in the ten ounce package. The
unit pricing information gives
shoppers a chance to quickly and
easily compare the relative unit
cost of different size packages.
Of course the price per unit
does not take quality needs in-
to account. If you need only ten
ounces of pecans and the other
six ounces would spoil before
you could use thorn, the smaller
size would be the proper one for
you to purchase even though
it costs more per ounce. Neither
does unit pricing consider brand
or quality differences. Assume
that a box of Brand X contains
12 ounces of a product at a unit
price of 3.5c per ounce and a
box of Brand B contains 14
ounces of like product at a unit
price of 3.8c per ounce. If your
family likes the taste of Brand
B better you might still prefer
to buy that product in spite of
its higher unit rice.
But if you simply want to get
tlie most economical price, unit
pricing makes your task much
easier. You aren’t faced with a
scries of mathematical problems
everytime you enter the super-
market.
Over the years, the public has
generally conic to accept the
fact that the larger size pack-
ages are more economical. This
is usually tme but not always.
Often the smaller or medium
size container is actually the
cheapest buy per unit volume.
The informed consumer will
compare prices before buying,
even if the store she is shopping
doesn’t unit price its goods.
was pass d as requested by the
President.
I also think it is unsound to
give the President the right to
shift appropriations. We did re-
strict his power in this respect.
Nor do I think it is sound to as-
sure everyone of a comfortable
living 1-igardless of his willing-
ness to work. We eliminated
this parovision but liberalized
the Social Security program and
increased to $2100 per year the
allowable earnings of recipients
of Social Security. I think thus
should be even more.
Clearly, the government should
maintain the sanctity of its
trust funds and I favored the
continuation of the Highway
Program, with separata assis-
tance to the transportation
problems of our cities. This
measure died for lack oi quorum
but it can come up in January.
I would not want to give the
impression that I am opposed to
sill government programs. I
think many of tliam are help-
ful. I recently discussed the
Poage-Talmadgc Dural Devel-
opment Bill. I think it will go a
long way toward giving the
rural areas what we have al-
ready done for the cities. Of
course, we have a confusing sys-
tem of duplicating programs in
