"Talk of Texas
By Jock Maguire
The Seminui« Nursing Center held it's monthly party last Thursday. Warned
the center's "Resident of the Month" was William (Bill) Ulrich O' Wool.
Veronica Ramirez was named "Employee of the Month". Tho two honoroos
were presented certificates.
ROAD ECONOMY ---Texas
numbers its highways instead of
naming them after people
because it’s cheaper.
Since 1967, the Highway
Commission has had a rule
prohibiting the naming of any
state-maintained road after an
individual. In 1971, the
Legislature made the rule a law
Illegal or not, some highways
have names as well as numbers.
A stretch of Interstate 37 and
U S. 281 through downtown San
Antonio is know as the
McAllister Freeway after a
former mayor. Similar
situations exist in other
communities.
In such cases, the Highway
Department can erect signs
bearing the names if they are
placed only at entrances or
exits.

failure to stop Hitler in Germany
would spread communism
throughout the world,
particularly to South America
and Mexico.
When that happens. Dillon
predicted, the U S will go to
war with Mexico along the Rio
Grande in Texas
the cooperatives to surpass their
target demands for electricity
without increasing their cost of
electricity per kilowatt-hour or
interrupting service to the
irrigation customers, said J.C.
Roberts, general manager of
South Plains cooperative, and
Duane Lloyd, general manager
of Bailey County cooperative.
SPS supplies wholesale power
to the cooperatives.
Under the existing rate
structure, the cooperatives
interrupt service to irrigation
customers when a target peak
demand is reached. This is done
because the cooperatives'
electric bills for the next year
are based in part on the peak
demand during each preceding
summer. The concept is that
classes of customers who cause
the need for more power plant
capacity to meet brief peaks in
electric usuage should pay their
fair share for the cost of
additional capacity, said Gary
Gibson, SPS vice president-
marketing. ^
The experimental rate
structure is possible because
there is ample i electric
generating capacity available
due to the completion last year of
SPS’ Tolk Station power plant
unit number two near Muleshoe,
Gibson said

SHS band director Tom Wood)
said the sessions are scheduled
so as not to conflict with
volleyball and football workouts,
which begin Aug 11 SHS band

the sessions beginning Aug 4
The playwright Robert Sherwood, who won three
Pulitzer Prizes for Drama in six years, flunked Freshman
English at Harvard
Under the new rate structure,
prices effective September 1986
through August 1987 would be
based on the target or actual
peak demand- whichever is
lower -that occurred from June
through August 1986. Thus, if
farmers need to irrigate this
summer more than the
cooperatives’ target amount,
they wouldn’t risk having their
service interrupted simply
because demand is exceeding the
target.
South Plains Electric
Cooperative serves 5,570
irrigation wells. Bailey County
Electric Association serves 2,449
irrigation wells.
This rate structure would be
instituted on a one-year basis.
After one year, the electric
cooperatives and SPS will review
the effectiveness of the program
The two electric cooperatives
and SPS applied to FEKC for the
new rate structure on July 9 A
ruling is expected later this
