RARE KILL — J. R. Bums of Ingleside killed this rare
Axis deer on his ranch in Real County, Texas. Bums
said the deer weighed 96 pounds dressed and was al-
most full grown. He said a full grown Axis will weigh
about 150 pounds. The deer has six points and Bums
says this is as many as the imported deer will have
even when full grown. Bums says a rancher nearby
had stocked the deer which are native to India and
during flooding several years ago some of the deer
had come on his ranch. He said there are about 15
of them currently.

Ingleside School Board voted
Tuesday night to comply with
directives from Governor Bris-
coe and the Texas Education
Agency in an energy saving
program during the remainder
ol the school year, but did
decide .against the early
dismissal of students during the
three months declared by the
Governor as an “emergency
period."
The Governor had requested
the public schools districts of
Texas to cooperate in the
program and declared an
emergency period for the school
districts beginning January 1,
1974 and extending through
March 31, 1974.
A message from the Texas
Education Agency received by
the Ingleside School District
last week states that the
governor believes “that through
the ingenuity of administrators
and boards even greater
savings can be achieved in a
variety of ways In addition, he
is aware that varying climates,
conditions of school plants as
they relate to heating and
cooling, and transportation
services will cause each school
district to face its energy
problems in a somewhat
different manner and he
expects and desires a wide
variety of responses in this
exploratory effort."
In accordance with the last
statement, the Ingleside School
Board were told by Superin-
tendent of Schools, Gilbert
Mircovich, that the Board has a
choice on several of the
recommendations made by the
Governor and in particular on
the one authorizing early
dismissal of classes during the
three month period.
Governor Briscoe has di-
rected that during the period of
January 1 through March 31
class days end at 2:30 p.m. for
all students (3:30 p.m. Daylight
Saving Time).
Under the governor’s direc-
tives the trustees were autho-
rized to “change one or more of
the present 55 minute class
periods to a minimum of 45
minutes in order to meet the
2:30 (3:30 p.m. Daylight Saving
Time) school closing hour
requested by Governor Bris-
coe."
Mircovich and the School
Board members all said they
feel temperatures during these
months in this area do not reach
the extremes experienced in
other sections of the state and
that it would not be necessary to
reschedule classes.
Scheduling of bus routes
would create a problem were
the schools to go a shorter day
