Discusses Law. Enforcement
Holland City
Council Meets
By RONNIE I'EUSKY
Concerns over law enforcement were expressed In a
lengthy session of the Holland City Council last Tuesday
NOVEMBER 13nt the Holland City Hall.
The Council also approved Increases In certain service
charges charged by Lone Star Gas Company to its Holland
customers but eliminated entirely one of the service fees.
Hell County Constable Barbee and Justice of the Peace
Frank Wood both of Holland were invited to the meeting to
discuss law enforcement problems in the city.
Councilman Wayne Goodnight said the Council has
received many complaints about law enforcement and that
the Holland School Board met with the Council in a special
meeting last October 23 to find out what the city planned todn
about the problem.
Goodnight outlined the law-breaking going on In the city
including dope prostitution public drunkeness and disor-
derly conduct.
J P Frank Wood urged that citizens sign complaints If
they witness crimes.
"I can't issue that warrant unless I get that complaint" he
said.
But Councilman Dan Knllus indicated that filing a com
plaint was not always that easy.
"People are scared they won't do it. They're afraid
somebody's going to find out about It."
Constable Barbee agreed that many people are afraid to
file a complaint.
Wood suggested more citizen input into the problem and
indicated thai If he had n radio with -which to communiate
with Constable BnrlH'e he could respond faster in time of
emergency
More help from the county was suggested as a possible
solution but Councilman Goodnight expressed pessimism
about such a possibility.
"If anything Is done It will have to be done at the local
level" he said.
. He pointed out that the District Attorney's Office the Bell
County Sheriff's Office and narcotics agents were all aware
of the problems in Holland and none have really become
involved enough In do any good.
Goodnight thinks Holland is not getting "equal protection
under the law "
No other solutions were offered at the meeting but an
attempt will be made to obtain more county help.

Awards Presented At Soil Conservation Banquet
By RONNIE PERSKY
"The job of conserving our soil is not
over" featured speaker Henry Turncy
told the 150 people attending the Little
Rlvcr-San Gabriel Soil Conservation
Awards Banquet last Thursday
November 8 at the Town Hall in Bartlett.
Awards at the Ninth Annual Banquet
were presented to the following area
farmers and landowners: Buck Pope of
Granger Outstanding Conservation
Farmer; James Miles of Taylor Out-
standing Nonresident Conservationist;
Mrs. Gertrude Kvcton of Granger
Reclamation Award; Hartwln Holmstrom
of Georgetown Outstanding Wildlife
Conservationist; Bennie Gowcr of
Florence Outstanding Businessman; and
Foy Haydcn of Florence Distinguished
Service Award.
The featured speaker Henry Turney
has been a member of the Texas Soil and
Water Conservation Board for 13 years.
In his remarks Turney said farmers in
the past were often made fun of. But the
image of the farmer has changed. Today a
farmer has to be a scientist a chemist an
economist and an engineer.
The speaker pointed out that the people
in this country use less of their income for
food than any other industrialized nation in
the world. He said overweight is a national
problem here while half of the people in the
world arc hungry.
The fact that an American farmer can
feed 50 other people provides us with the
adequate labor we need to build homes
television sets cars and other consumer
goods according to Turney.
In most countries of the world It takes
half of the people to feed the other half he
said.
Turney said some fanners say they
cannot afford a conservation program. He
answers that they cannot afford not to
have a conservation program and pointed
out that the award winners recognized
Thursday evening were some of the most
financially stable people in the com-
munity. Discussing the energy problem Turncy
said we pay for much of our imported oil
by exporting surplus food. He added that
much has been made of the fact that our
energy resources arc finite and will one
day be depleted. Land is also a finite
resource he pointed out.
"Have you ever heard of anybody
making any more land? " he asked.
Conservation of soil he sees as more
Important than conservation of energy.
"When It comes down to It I'd rather
walk than starve to death" he concluded.
Turney Is a Dublin farmer who spent 16
years working in various positions in soil
conservation work. A graduate of Texas
A&M he has taught at the state university
at Stcphcnvlllc and is active in local
organizations including the. Dublin Rotary
Club the county school board the Farm
Bureau and the Farmers' Union.
Gilbert Kretzschmar Sr. of Bartlett
served as master of ceremonies and in-
troduced Turney.
Bill Owens District Conservationist of
the Little River-San Gabriel district in-
troduced special guests and narrated
slides showing the work of the award
winners.
The invocation was given by the Rev. Ed
Jennings of Florence.
A catered steak meal was served prior to
the program.
