Beautifying Texas Highways
AUSTIN-Mr*. Lyndon B. John-
son today honored two outstanding

jects were also recognized for their
green-thumb work in wild flowers
and palm trees.
The winner and runner-up of the
15th Annual Lady Bird Johnson
Award; the Scenic Preservation
Award, and the recipient of a special

the Lyndon B. Johnson State Park
near Stonewall.
Danny M. Spillers of the Hearne
office in Robertson County received
Mrs. Johnson's personal check for
$1000 and a plaque commenorating

statewide basis. Spillers oversaw
the propagation of wild flowers by
placing sod-containing plants and
seeds in locations where wild flow-
ers did not previously grow.
As runner-up, Marion T. Cochrum
Jr. of Beeville received a certificate
of commendation and $500. Coch-
rum faces the dual challenge to
beautify the roads and retard soil
erosion in Bee County, a very rocky,
caliche-filled area with very little
topsoil.
Mrs. Johnson awarded DHTs
Austin district the Scenic Preserva-
tion Award for outstanding regional
beautification efforts. Personnel in
the district maintain 2,955 highway
miles in the Central Texas area.
Finalists for the Lady Bird John-
son Award included Emil C. Bau-
mann of Floresville; Benny Holeso-
vsky of Columbus; Kenneth King of
Andrews; and Glenn Page of Aus-
tin.
The Bryan, Brownwood, Corpus
Christi, Fort Worth, and Yoakum
districts were finalists for the
Scenic Preservation Award, estab-
lished in 1979.
In addition to the annual awards,
Mrs. Johnson presented a special
commendation to the Pharr district
for their efforts in the removal and
replacement of dead palm trees in
the valley following the devastating
effects of the 1983 freeze.
Award finalists and winners were
selected from nominees represent-
ing each of 24 DHT districts by a
selection committee appointed by
Mrs. Johnson. Committee members
include Professor Elo Urbanovsky,
chairman, of Lubbock; Richard Col
tins of Dallas; Ted Fisher of Austin;
Mrs. Jake Hershey of Houston; Mrs.
William P. Hobby of Houston;
William McLaughlin of Dallas; Mrs.
Marshall Steves of San Antonio; and
Roy White of Austin.
Mrs. Johnson hosted the honorees
and some 200 guests at a barbecue
luncheon following the ceremony.
Nationally noted for her beautifi-
cation efforts, the former First Lady

Plant oils not
practical substitute
for diesel fuel
COLLEGE STATION —
The value of substituting plant
oils for diesel fuel has been laid
to rest by Texas A&M Uni vet
sity agricultural economists —
unless the price of diesel sky-
rockets.
Recent articles in popular
farming literature have called
attention to the possibilities of
established the awards to show her
appreciation of DHT’s ongoing work
to protect and spread wild flowers
in Texas, and to preserve and
enhance natural beauty along the
highway system.

GIFT RECEIVED FROM
LAYTON DEAN HECTOR
Recently, a box of books and
tapes were received at the library
from former Coleman resident Lay-
ton Dean Hector of New York City.
l,ayton Dean is a life member of
Friends of the Coleman Public
Library and has been a friend
indeed through the years.
The package contained the follow
ing materials as outlined by the
donor in a letter to Librarian
Edwina Justice:
(1) "States of the Union” - A
collection of fifty original works of
art by prominent American artists,
issued on limited edition commemo-
rative covers bearing historic flag
stamps and state capital postmarks
Westport Collectors Society, 1977.
Perhaps this collection will be
interesting research material for
Junior High School students of
history or geography, and I hope
some young persons will be able to
write their papers “Flags of the
States" after reading this book.
(2) “United Nations Flag Stamps"
Volumes 1 through 4, Series 1980
through 1983 Postal Commemora
live Society. These four volumes
extend the "States of the Union"
living plant nils such as sunflow-
er, soybean and peanut for
diesel fuel as a pntentialls inex-
pensive energy source. But an
energy report written by the
economists and published by
Texas A&M s Center for Ener-
gy and Mineral Resources indi-
cates plant oils are not econom-
ical as substitutes for the fossil
fuel.
Even tinder the most optim-
istic conditions. No. 2 diesel
from plant oils will cost from SO
cents to $1.20 more than regu-
lar diesel, according to the rc-
ixirt Its Drs. Ronald Griffin.
Ronald latceweil, Glenn ( ol-
lins ami Hao-( bun ( bang
collection to Flag stamps of 64
members of the United Nations. On
the occasion of its 35th anniver-
sary, the United Nations paid
tribute to its member nations
through the medium of postage
stamps. The Postal Commemorative
Society assembled these stamps on
covers especially designed for each
nation, had the covers postmarked
on the first day of issue at the U.N.,
and then summarized the facts
about each nation in a brief descrip-
tive paragraph or so, to accompany
its Flag stamp. Hopefully, these
volumes also will provide some
interest to young students of his-
tory, geography, or current events.
(3) “Project Learn" - A set of 4
cassette tapes plus learning man-
uals and study books for a course
used by leading schools, colleges
and universities and corporations as
a means of teaching individuals how
to think and learn effectively from
reading - Learn, Incorporated, 1979.
These study aids could be helpful to
anyone who wants more effective
reading skills. All a person needs to
use the aids is a Sony “Walkman” or
similar set. (Note: the library is
planning to buy one of these sets).
(4) 'The Children of Pride" - A
True Story of Georgia and the Civil
War - Edited by Robert Manson
Myers (Yale University Press,
1972). A collection of letters forming
the true story of a family’s life in
coastal Georgia before, during, and
after the War Between the States
(roughly from 1854 to 1868). This
study could be interesting to adults
and high-school students, particular-
ly to anyone who enjoys research
into family histories.
(5) “Familiar Quotations” A
Collection of Passages, Phrases and
Proverbs Traced to Their Sources in
Ancient and Modern Literature ■
John Bartlett (Fourteenth Edition,
Revised and Enlarged) Emily Mori-
son Beck, Editor (Little, Brown and
Company, 1968). A reference book
you may already have on your
shelves, but which may still be
useful to someone who is looking for
the source of a saying.
(6) “Fire and Blood" - A History of
Mexico autographed by the author,
T. H. Fehrenback (Macmillan Pub-
lishing Co., Inc., 1973).
(7) “World Cultural Guides" -
Architecture, Sculpture, Painting ■
A series devoted to the Great
Cultural Centres of the World (Holt,
Rinehart and Winston, 1972). The
Holy Land, New York, Paris
