COLLEGE STATION, Tern
(AP) - If Texas continues to
grow at its present pace, its
population may surpass New
York’s by 1991, two Texas AIM
University researchers say.
The sociologists learned
through analyzing new census
data that more people moved to
Texas between 1970 and 1910
than in any other previous
census decade in the state’s
history.
Hie Census Bureau set Texas’
population for April 1, I960, at
14,220,383, compared with
11,110,730 for April 1, 1070.
Texas experienced a 27
percent population increase
compared with a national
average of 11 percent doing the
decade, aay Dr. R.L.
Skrabanek, a sociology
professor and demographer
with the Texas Real Estate
Research Center, and Dr.
Steven Murdock, bond of the
Texas Agricultural Experiment
Station’s Department of Rural
Sociology.
Their analysis is being
conducted for the Texas 2000
Agency of the governor’s office.
Texas numerically gained 3
million people, exceeded only
by California, which increased
by 3.7 million, the researchers
found. Ranked third was
Florida, which grew by 2.8
mHHim
At the other extreme, New
York and Rhode Island lost in
population, as did the District of
Columbia.
According to the report,
Texas ranked sixth in total
number of people in 1080 end
moved ahead of Ohio and
Illinois by 1170, and into the
third spot ahead of Penn-
sylvania by 1172.
California’s 21.7 million and
New York’s 174 mfflfon ex-
ceeded Texas’ M4 million by
Plenty of water, but
where are the fish
Atm residents couldn't wait Monday afternoon after the sun
broke through following the heavy morning rains. As the sun
came out, so did the fishermen, oven though the water was
flowing over the dam between Century Lake and Lake Sulphur
Springs. Although there were plenty of anglers the fish seemed
to have boon taking the day alt. Nat many catches snore being
reported, oven though more fishermen snore showing up every
minute. But it was a good day to got outside |ust the same.

KXZZ2S.*’
Panel okays
proposed
amendment
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
Senate Judiciary Committee
voted approval today of a
proposed constitutional
amendment requiring a
balanced federal, budget.
“The people of the country
want it,” said Sen. Strom
Thurmond, R-S.C., the com-
mittee chairman, shortly before
the panel voted 11-1 for the
amendment.
The amendment, which has
momentum provided by a
conservative mood in Congress,
would require that federal
spending and revenues be
matched up two years after it is
ratified by three-fourths of the
states.
Only a declaration of war or a
three-fifths vote by both houses
of Congress would permit any
exception to its rigid
requirement that Congress
spend no more than the taxes it
votes each year.
The lone dissenting vote was
cast by Sen. Charles McC.
Mathias, R-Md. Liberal
Democrats, including Sens.
Edward M. Kennedy of
Massachusetts and Joseph
Biden of Delaware, did not
appear for the vote.
A similar amendment failed
by a single vote in the Judiciary
Committee last year and a
lively fight on the floor of the
Senate is likely.
Reagan administration of-
ficials have expressed serious
doubts whether a constitutional
amendment is required to
balance the budget and strong
opposition is expected in the
Democra tic-controlled House.

HELP IN locating the driver
of a truck whose cattle trailer
came loose and ran onto the
Woman’s Club lawn on Friday,
April 10, is being sought. The
trailer was loaded with a cow
and calf. While the driver ap-
parently was not aware of the
damage, the trailer ruptured a
gas line at the building. The
damage was not found until
later, and after a sizeable gas
loss had been recorded. Mrs.
James Chapman, chairman of
the Woman’s Building com-
mittee, hopes that the driver
will volunteer a report on the
incident and help absorb the
loss, possibly through liability
insurance.
Artist sets
watercolor
workshop
Bart Lindstrom of Mineola, a
specialist in Texas and South-
western art, will teach a
watercolor workshop from 9
a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Saturday,
May 30 at the Country Arts
Gallery on Main Street. Limited
classes will be provided under
the sponsorship of the Art
Leauge of Hopkins County.
Lindstrom graduated from
the University of Southern
California and studied design
and illustrating at the Art
Center in Los Angeles.
He worked on the West Coast
for a short time prior to moving
his family to the Dallas area,
where he established his
reputation as an artist.
lindstrom uses a transparent
watercolor medium by
preference to capture his
subjects in what critics term a
“reality that is best described
as crisp.”
He earlier taught a similar
class in Sulphur Springs in
March.
The May class will be limited
in number because of Lind-
strom’s individual style of
teaching, according to Art
League spokesmen.
Anyone desiring more in-
formation may call Carolyn
Braddy at 885-8467.
