IN BEAUMONT
Groundbreaking To Be July 28
For New Daybreak Youth Center
MHMR of Southeast Texas
will hold groundbreaking cere-
monies at 2 p.m. July 28 for its
new 96-bed Daybreak Youth
Center on South Eighth Street
in Beaumont.
Since 1987, Daybreak Youth
Center, a special program of
MHMR of Southeast Texas, has
provided resources to children
and teenagers with emotional/
mental disabilities. The center
began as a 16-bed facility in
Orange and expanded to Beau-
mont after a 1985 transfer of
the Rusk State Hospital ado-
lescent unit to MHMR of South-
east Texas increased the need
for services.
The center serves 28 counties
and operates on a daily basis at
capacity level. Of every 20
young people screened, only
about seven are admitted im-
mediately. The capacity level
also forces the center to short-
en its program.
To help alleviate the prob-
lem, MHMR plans to construct
a 96-bed residential facility
which would double the ca-
pacity of the present building.
The expansion would make
Daybreak the largest treat-
ment program of its kind be-
tween Houston and New
Orleans.
In addition to the treatment
of emotionally disturbed child-
ren and adolescents, the new
facility would provide residen-
tial substance abuse treatment
and house six classrooms and a
computer lab. The expansion
would create 40 new, perma-
nent iobs in the community.
To help fund the $1.7 million
needed for the facility, MHMR
has received a $300,000 grant
through the Texas Department
of Commerce. It has also re-
ceived a $200,000 matching
grant from the T.L.L. Temple
Foundation.
Persons wishing to contri-
bute to the facility cost can
send donations to the Daybreak
Building Fund, 2750 S. Eighth
St., Beaumont, Texas, 77701.
Texas Drilling Increased
In First Half Of 1988
AUSTIN-The number of
new oil and gas wells drilled in
Texas in the last six months
topped the 6,000 mark, repre-
senting a five percent increase
over the first six months of
1987, according to Railroad
Commissioner Chairman James
E. (Jim) Nugent.
Nugent said the drilling im
provement, coupled with a drop
in the number of wells that
were plugged in the same
period, represented some wel-
come news for the hard-pressed
Texas oilpatch. “For tye opera-
tors who toughed it out through
the oil price collapse of 1986 and
their lenders who struggled
through the banking collapses
of 1987, this has to be good
news,” Nugent said.
The Commission chairman
said the number of new wells
drilled in the state in the first
half of 1988 totaled 6,025 com-
pared to 5,716 the previous
year. There were 6,622 wells
reported plugged during the
period, compared to 7,112 in
the first hslf of 1987.
Nugent said the number of
drilling permits issued is also
up - 8.111 issued in the first half
of 1988, compared to 7,788 for
the same period in 1987.

and Gloria Merrill of Lumber-
ton, has recently been selected

The new-non-commissioned
officer completed training in
management, leadership, hu-
man relations and NCO respon-
sibilities, befoe being awarded
this status.
Crockett-Douglas is an ad-
ministration specialist with the
39th Supply Squadron, Turkey.
DARTANYONL. FISETTE

Doloars B. and Joe E. Fisette
Jr. of Buna, recently reported
for duty aboard the aircraft
carrier US8 Constellation,
homeported in San Diego.

High School, he joined the
Navy in July 1978.
STEWART T. HARRIS
Marine Pvt. Stewart T. Har-
ris, son of Faye and John R.
Harris Jr. 6t Silsbee, recently
graduated from the Sub-
sistence Supplyman’s Course.
During the five-week course,
conducted at the Marine Corps
Service Support School, Csmp
Lejeune, N.C.. Harris was
taught the basic and technical
skills required of subsistence
supply clerks throughout the
IfamnA Pn-na
Marine v/Orps.
He received instruction on
the operation and maintenance
of office machines, preparation
of naval correspondence and
the use of subsistence supply
publications. He also was in-
But Nugent said Texas oil-
men are keeping a wary eye on
events in the Middle East that
may affect drilling statistics
during the remainder of the
year. “Crude prices have drop-
ped some two dollars a barrel
on the spot market since May,"
Nugent said, “a result of
OPEC's failure to come to an
agreement on production and
hostilities in the Persian Gulf.
Many analysts predict prices
will seesaw over the next six
months and that may have an
impact on the number of new
well starts.
“It's pretty tough to figure
what the payout on a new well
is going to be when crude prices
are jumping around. Uncer-
tainty and doubt are wide-
spread in world crude oil mar-
Students Attend
Texas Youth
Conference;
The importance of self es-
teem, true friendship and the
idea that "I can do it" were the
theme of the annual Texas
Youth in Action Leadership
Conference. Hundreds of
Middle and High School teens
from all over the state gathered
at Southwestern University in
Georgetown for the three day
conference.
Attending from Silsbee
Middle School were eighth
graders Tara Nicholas, Solicia
Clegg, Paul Merritt and Dennis
Fritz with PTA Concerned
Parent sponsor Lynette Nic-
holas. Judy Grissom, high
school activity director, ac-
companied high school stud-
ents Wayne Grissom, Laurie
Garner, Shawn HoUyfield and

Youth workshops attended
by the Silsbee students were
“How to Say No and Keep Your
Friends” conducted by Sharon
Scott, author and trainer-
counselor; “Who Am I?” pre-
sented by Tim Gardner, dir-
ector of Young Life, and seve-
ral others. Motivational speak-
er Dan Clark inspired the
students with the theme speech
“Hit Is to Be. It Is Up to Me,”
and “What Matters Most.”
An additional attraction for
the Middle School students was
a surprise visit by the nation-
ally known rock group, THE
JETS, who support the cam-
paign of youth against drugs
with their motto “Be Smart.
Don’t Start." This trip was
sponsored and funded by PTA’s
