12 three varieties of unsalted
breads under the MRS.
WRIGHT's label Unsalted
white, raisin and grain
breads are now available in
all 153 Safeway stores in the
North Texas area in an effort
to meet the increasing con-
sumer demand for flavorful
fresh unsalted bread pro-
ducts without having to pay a
premium price, announced
CORRINNE HICKMAN,
customer consultant for
Safeway
Sodium, a component of
salt, is an essential mineral
necessary for good health
However, most Americans
consume far more salt than
they need, and evidence sug
gests that excessive sodium
consumption contributes to
the development of health
problems
While low sodium bread
has been available for some
time in grocery freezer sec-
tions, many people have
found the flavor bland, since
nothing was being added to
replace the salt The selec
bon of choice ingredients,
as contained in Mrs.
Wright's new unsalted
breads, contribute that
"something extra" that has
been lacking in the past
As concerned citizens,
CENTURY 21 realtors are
making fire rescue window-
decals available to those who
stop by any participating

w eek of Sept 13 These de-
cals represent a symbol that
is recognized by firefighters
nationwide In the event of
fire, the symbol indicates
that a child is inside the
room where the symbol ap
pears on the window The
displayed symbol often
makes the difference be-
tween a life or death rescue
situation Individuals can
drop by or call CENTURY

PROPERTY TAXES—
GOOD INTENTIONS AREN’T ENOUGH
1 want to talk this week
about taxes and good intentions
As 1 (ravel around Texas. I
notice that what's known as
the Peveto Bill is the subject of
much talk and controversy.
This bill, named after state
representative Wayne Peveto,
is a tax reform law: legislation
of the best intention.
The law was designed to
end confusion and unfairness
in the way property taxes were
assessed Property was often
on different tax rolls at dif-
ferent values Older properties
went years, sometimes dec-
ades. without being revalued
or updated. New construction
and newly sold property was
on the rolls at more correct
values and so people who
owned it paid a higher share of
taxes Some property was sim-
ply left off the rolls entirely.
The system was confusing and
inequitable
In an attempt to correct
these problems, the Peveto Bill
created property tax appraisal
boards for each Texas county.
These boards were charged •
with the responsibility of set-

ting all property at its full
value—as residential or com-
mercial property or as land
used for agricultural purposes
Taxes could then be levied on
this accurately assessed prop-
erty according to the needs of
the taxing entities.
It sounded good, but it
hasn’t worked. The biggest
problem is that the people on
the appraisal boards are ap-
pointed. not elected They arc
not accountable to the tax
payers. So now we have a
new, faceless bureaucracy to
deal with It amounts to taxa-
tion without representation
My opponent has been on
both sides of this issue, first
supporting the bill in the legis-
lature—then doing an about
face and calling it bad legisla-
tion after it was passed
The Peveto Bill, though
well-intentioned, has created
problems which must be dealt
with in the next legislature and
as your next Lt. Governor. I
will do just that If you have
any thoughts on this subject,
please write me at 1213 W
