Basket Fund
By BOB BEAD
The Christmas spirit is in
the air and the National Honor
Society is showing its spirit.
This year the National Honor
Society is helping in the Sils-
bee Christmas Basket Fund.
All gifts must be given in cash
donations this year. The com-
munity has a goal of $2,250.00
to reach this year and will need
your help. The members of the
National Honor Society will be
calling upon the businesses this
week to ask for their donations.
Please be generous in your do-
nations. The National Honor
Society member will have a
name tag as his or her identifi-
cation. Please show your
Christmas spirit this year and
give.
The certificates to the people
Will be given according to the
size of the family. The certifi-
cates will range from $12.50 to
$25.00. Any donation that you
make is tax deductible.
If a member of the National
Honor Society does not come
by your business or if any per-
son would like to make a per-
sonal donation they may con-
tact Bob Read (385-3988),
Carol Paret (385-2305), Debbie
Rash (385-4804), or Mrs. Jo-
anne Latoof (385-2339).
The high school is also tak-
ing part in the Silsbee Christ-
mas Basket Fund. The third
period class that brings the
most money will get a Coke
party from the National Honor
Society.
So Silsbee, get that Christ-
mas Spirit and back the Na-
tional Honor Society. When
they come by your office, give
generously.

Sp/4 William Sims
Participates In
German Exercise
U.S. Forces, Germany — Ar-
my Specialist Four William D.
Sims, 21, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Pickett M. Sims, Village Mills,
participated with other Ameri-
can and Allied troops in exer-
cise Reforger V in Germany,
Oct. 10-16.
The Military Airlift Com-
mand flew approximately 11*-
000 U.S.-based soldiers and
more than 1,000 tons of equip-
ment to three different air-
fields in Germany in prepara-
tion for the event. .
Immediately after arriving
overseas, the redeployed units
drew combat gear and vehicles
from prepositioned storage sites
in Germany and moved to the
exercise area to begin the
seven-day field maneuver.
Pitted a g a i n s t the airlifted
forces were Europe-based ele-
ments of Nato Forces of the
U.S., Germany and Canada.
The exercise, conducted by
the joint chiefs of staff and
Nato, focused on the proced-
ures and techniques for re-
ceiving, equipping, assembling,
and employing units after they
atrive, rather than on rapid
deployment of troops from the
U.S.
Sims is regularly assigned as
a mechanic with the combat
support company, 1st Battalion
of the 1st Infantry Division’s
16th Infantry at Boblingen,
Germany.
Den 8, Cub Pack 88
Javits apartments his firm controls in
New York City. Some 250,000
tenants will be affected.
“Mr. Lefrak indicates that
his most conservative projec-
tions indicate immediate sav-
ing of more than 10 million
gallons of oil this winter and
dollar saving of more than $2
million and that the Nation
could earn oil savings of 10 to
15 percent by following similar
procedures.
“The Lefrak organization in-
tends to give any money saved
back to tenants in the form of
a cash rebate. They will be
compared by computer, the
fuel costs per building of last
year based on degree days,
with the costs of this year to
determine any savings. The
fuel oil conservation program
is now being carried out by the
Lefrak organization’s manage-
ment and maintenance staffs
which have been heavily aug-
mented in order to carry out
the crash program. These are
some of the steps they are tak-
ing:
“All washing machines —
they number in the thousands
—in Lefrak buildings are be-
ing converted to cold water
machines. Cold water cleaners
will be used . ..
“All boilers are being over-
hauled. Most are getting new
combustion chambers and con-
trols . . .
“Tenants are being asked to
take a number of heat saving
steps;
“Place a sheet of aluminum
foil between radiator and cold
wall so that heat will be re-
flected back into the room.
“During winter daylight
hours leave windows which
face sun unshaded in order to
get the natural heat . . .
“Lefrak apartments will
have a “fuel conservation om-
budsman,” who will be an in-
terested tenant with the task of
educating other tenants o n
how to save on heat ..."
Den 8 of Cub Scout Pack 88
met Tuesday in the home of
Mrs. Billy Weathersby with six
boys present.
The boys played games and
worked on their Christmas
gifts.
CRUMP’S GRASS
ROOTS COMMENT
Any consumer of fuel oil
can take steps to conserve fuel,
and pocket the savings. Each
family might appoint a “fuel
conservation ombudsman.”

Mr. Bob Read, Editor
Silsbee Bee
Dear Bob:
The Board of Trustees of the
Silsbee Independent School
District would like to express
to you their appreciation for
the support given by your
newspaper in our recent school
bond election. Your wide cir-
culation afforded us an oppor-
tunity to fully inform all of the
patrons of the School District
regarding the facts concerning
the proposed construction and
renovation of facilities in our
schools. We feel that this thor-
ough coverage was indicative
of the number of people that
came to the polls and the man-
ner in which they responded in
approving the bond issue.
We appreciate your concern
in wanting good schools and we
pledge to you our best efforts
in this behalf.
Thanks very much.
Sincerely yours,
C. R. Baker, President

Temple To Expand
Fiberboard Plant
A $2,250,000 ex
Diboll —
pansion of Temple Industries’ ^ in Beaumont,
fiberboard plant here has been
approved by the Temple-Eas-
tex Board of Directors, accord-
ing to Temple President Joe C.
Denman, Jr.
Planned for completion
early 1975, Denman said
project will increase capacity
of the plant by 25 per cent.
“Equipment to be installed will
also permit the manufacture of
additional new fiberboard pro-
ducts, giving us greater flexi-
bility ot meet future market de-
mands.”
Temple environmental con-
trol director, Dr. C. M. Har-
bordt, said application for en
vironmental permits will be
made to the Texas Water Qua-
lity Board and Texas Air Con-
trol Board to insure that the
new facility will meet air ai
water quality standards esta
blished by those agencies and
the federal Environmental Pro-
tection Agency.
“Our prelimininary engineer-
ing indicates that the expansion
will not add to the present ef-
fluent being treated by the ex-
isting plant. Our application
will document this premise,v
he said.
