Thanks to all who helped make this

believed that much of modern mu-
sic is based on themes heard in cow-
boy, Negro, and other folk ballads. He
was intense, and determined to leave
no source uncovered.
In 1941, the Library of Congress
music archives contained over 10,000
recorded folk songs collected by John
A. Lomax — the results of a lifetime
devoted to the perpetuation of
American’s folk culture through song.
On Saturday, May 27, in Meridian,
celebrated folk artists of song and verse
will again pay tribute to John A.
Lomax, the Balladeer of the Bosque. A
special Cowboy Trappings Show, Folk-
« Life Happenings exhibit, and Folk-Life
Demonstrations in costume will add
color and enjoyment to the event — a
family-fun extravaganza. Come, bring
the kids, and relive the Texas frontier
of a century and a half ago.

Training for the new software pro-

a cost to the county of $300. Personnel
from both precincts will be able to train
simultaneously for the same fee.
Carpet Purchase Discussed
■Bosque County Judge Bobby Joe
Conrad presented a quote from
Meridian’s Main Street Floors to car-
pet the office of the judge’s secretary.
The quote was for $9.59 per yard, for a
total of $394.89. The judge noted that
the carpet is badly worn, and a safety
concern exists. >*
The consensus of the court was to
carpet both offices at the same time to
preserve a uniform appearance in the
area. The court instructed Conrad to
obtain a new bid from Main Street
Floors, as well as bids from Leon’s Floor
Covering, Clifton, and Laguna Park’s
Salvage Carpets.
Fire Ant Control
Bosque County Extension Agent
David Winkler told the court of sev-
eral insecticides currently on the mar-
ket that can be used to control fire ant
infestation. Precinct 2 Commissioner
David H. Jones invited Winkler to ap-
pear before the court to address the
subject.
Winkler said that four main chemi-
cals are being used: Amdro, Award,
Logic, and Orthene. He recommended
Award for use along county roadways
and in parks.
Commissioner Jones questioned
whether the county could purchase
large lots of the chemicals and sell to
the public at reduced rates. Others on
the court feared that the action would
alienate retailers in the county selling
the same products.
Precinct 3 Commissioner Calvin
Rueter expressed the opinion that
county-wide eradication will not be
possible without 100-percent compli-
ance from all landowners.
"I don’t think there’s any way you’ll
ever get 100 percent,” he added.
The commissioners thanked Winkler
for the information, but took no action.
Scholarship Applications
Five applications have been received
by the court for three available schol-
arships. Each is worth $250, as an-
nounced previously by the court.
High school seniors from Cranfills
Gap, Iredell, Meridian, Clifton, and
Valley Mills were nominated for the
awards. Other schools in the county
did not chose to nominate a student.
A committee was selected to study
the nominations and make a recom-
mendation to the court.
County Clerk
Bond and Oath
The commissioners approved the
bond and oath of office for new County
Clerk Denell O'Donald. The new clerk
was hired by the county after the death
of longtime office holder Patsy Owen
Mize.
O’Donald was unanimously selected
for the position during an emergency
session of Commissioners' Court April
26.
Bid For Asphalt, Oils Opened
One bid was received in response to
an advertisement soliciting quotes for
asphalt and paving oils. The lone bid
was actually not related to the items
advertised by the court.
The commissioners voted to re-ad-
vertise for bids, and to open those bids
at a June 5 special session. Bids will
be opened at 10 a.m.
Miscellany
The court approved payment of
wages, salaries, and claims against
county and precinct funds, and ap-
proved several line item transfers.
The next scheduled aeuion of the
court is Monday, May 22. The 9 a.m.
meeting will be held in the Boeque
County Courthouse, Meridian.

follow-up letter to Chairman Hall,
in contrast to her previous position.
Taking into account the agency’s
duty to investigate complaints, I con-
sider this issue resolved.” she wrote in
a letter dated May 10. Wohlgemuth was
not present at last week's public hear-
in*
T am concerned with the lack of
public participation and lack of rights
to adjacent landowners. Shifting the
burden of proof (away from the CAFOs)
does not make sense, either,” Commis-
sioner Reed said during discussion.
T am in favor of streamlining, but
I’m concerned the funding is not avail-
able to monitor and enforce,” added
Commissioner Marquez.
Commission Chairman Hall then
moved to pass the proposal, giving the
TNRCC the right to inspect new fa-
cilities before operations begin, to
modify the process to allow limited
input from adjacent landowners, and
to request funding be dedicated to de-
termining impacts on the Bosque River
watershed.
Marquez seconded the motion and
voted in favor along with Hall. Reed
cast the dissenting vote.
“I was really asking that they make
sure this proposal was fully funded
before they go ahead with it, because
the whole philosophy of this depends
on monitoring and enforcement. With-
out that, the condition of the river is
simply going to become worse,” said a
discouraged Mayor Blum after the
hearing.
Funding is not officially in place.
Representative Wohlgemuth told The
Clifton Record that efforts are under
way to secure funding for monitoring
of the river. Wohlgemuth says she is
working through a Texas House Ap-
propriations Committee to obtain the
funds needed. Details of the attempt
will not be available by press time,
according to a telephone conversation
late Friday afternoon with Wohlge-
muth.
Groups represented at the hearing
who favored the deregulation include
the Texas Pork Producers Association,
Texas Farm Bureau, Texas Poultry
Federation, Texas Cattle Feeders As-
sociation, Associated Milk Producers,
Inc., and Texas Association of Dairy-
men.
In opposition to the proposed changes
were the Texas Farmers Union, the
Sierra Club, Cross Timbers Concerned
Citizens, the Sabine River Authority,
the Brazos River Authority, the. Clif-
torrxhamber of Commerce, and the ,
cities of Clifton, Waco, Meridian,
Cleburne, and Dallas. Several indi-
vidual property owners and concerned
citizens also opposed the changes to
the permitting process. ^
