Editor:
We often hear such comments as, "If we can put a man on the
moon, why can't we build a vending machine that works?"
But I have a few more examples of stupid design. I recently
bought a half gallon plastic jug of a household product. There is a
convenient handle on one side of the jug. When I picked up the
jug my hand slid, quite naturally, to the top of the handle and was
greeted by a bit of plastic across the top of the middle of the .
handle. It was not quite as sharp as my pocket knife. I managed
to get it into my grocery cart without getting cut.
We all know the little concrete blocks across the ends of parking
spaces. They are a good idea, except for the placing of them. In a
row of parking spaces that one enters turning to the left, the little
blocks are placed in the middle of the spaced but lined up with the
row of the spaces. So the left front wheel of the vehicle can miss
the block. The blocks should either be placed to the left side of
the space or be at right angles to the approach of the cars.
Another item is one I have seen in more than one place, most
recently in "Modern Maturity." The ad offers large print books
for sale, but at least two-thirds of the page is covered with
pictures of the dust jacket covers of the books. The pictures are
about the size of postage stamps. How are people who need large
print books going to read those titles?
It's not that people can't think; it's that they don't.

Judge Pete Benavides announces for election
to Texas Court of Criminal Appeals
AUSTIN — Judge Pete
Benavides has announced
his plans to seek election to
a full term on the Texas
Court of Criminal Appeals.
Benavides was joined in a
Capitol news conference on
December 10 by Governor
Ann Richards, Attorney General Dan Morales, Comptroller John Sharp, Democratic National Committee
member Hazel Obey representing Land Commissioner
Garry Mauro and a host of
friends and supporters from
across the state.
Legislature recalled to study
J. A
i solutions to redistricting mess HeyScott
Elkiris is sSVVtrig as Beria"AUSTIN - Governor Ann
Richards has called the Legislature back to the Capitol for a
Special Session beginning at
noon on Jan. 2, 1992, to remap
districts for members of the
Texas Senate and House of
Representatives.
The session is expected to last
three to eight days.
The governor called the special session after the Texas
Supreme Court on Tuesday
struck down the state Senate
redistricting plan that had been
approved by an unofficial
majority of the state's upper
chamber.
District 68 Representative
Pete P. Gallego, D-AIpine, said
he is "somewhat apprehensive"
about the special session. "The
House previously passed a
redistricting bill I felt was very
good to the people of this district.' It kept the district basically rural. With 82 percent of the
1990- Texas population centered
in and around urban areas,
keeping rural districts, and their
threatened to change Gallego's
border district, the most recent
plan approved kept the district
as it was passed by the Legislature this summer. While the
special session means the
Legislature will "staff from
scratch," Gallego said the work
accomplished on redistricting
plans this fall should help keep
the district intact. ."I think
they'll leave the district makeup
pretty much as it is," Gallego
said of a new district which
would add Jeff Davis, Culberson and Hudspeth counties to
the e x i s t i n g d i s t r i c t of
•Maverick, Val Verde, Kinney,
Terrell, Brewster, Presidio and
Pecos counties.
"I was hoping we could avoid
a special session," Gallego
said. "Not only for the expense
and time, but because I thought
we could do it right the first
time." If the Legislature fails to
pass a redistricting bill by a
two-thirds majority vote, the
'new redistricting plan could require 90 days to go into effect.
Such
a delay would further
voices in the Legislature, is of
cloud the schedule for the state
vital importance."
Although legal upheavals- primary races, Gallego added.

Rail dis trie t
signs contract
The South Orient Rural Rail
Transportation District moved
closer to buying 394 miles of
West Texas railroad when officers signed a sales contract.
Santa Fe Railway officials
signed a contract to sell the
company's South Orient Line to
the rail district for $5.5 million.
A group of Dallas investors,
who have formed the South
Orient Railroad Company,,
signed the document. Rail district board chairman Robert
Post and secretary Coleta
Stewart of Mertzon added their
signatures.
.
The contract solidifies the
district's plans to purchase the
railroad and save it from scrap.
"I'm very encouraged that this
railroad will be here for another
100 years," Post said, praising
the people who worked on the
deal. "I think that it's got the
potential to mean a lot to all 11
counties, in an economic
sense."

The deal should be closed on

On the same day, the investors

Spector, who has been a trial
judge in San Antonio for the
past 17 years, said she plans to
run "a positive campaign that
emphasizes the importance of
an independent judiciary."
"Overall, I believe in our
judicia system, and I believe in
our jury system," Spector said.
"But I also understand that our
system isn't perfect - there is
more to be done."
Increasingly, she added, our
courts - particularly the
Supreme Court - are asked to
rule on legal issues that have a
significant and. lasting effect on
all Texans.

"I've a l w a y s had great

added, "but I've never been
afraid of a new idea."
To help ensure an independent
judiciary, Spector said she will
not accept individual campaign

$5,000.

Christmas without Christ is not Christmas
If Christ wouldn't have been born, than we wouldn't have a
•Christmas to celebrate, for it is' Christ that left us a mass to
celebrate.
Christmas is a day of celebrating Christ's Birthday and is and
has been celebrated since his holy birth. Why Holy Birth?
Because, God the almighty and powerful God assumed our poor
human nature to express the infinite love he has fix EACH OF
US.
Where is your love for him? Is it really Christ's Birthday you
are celebrating this Christmas?
Remember, the Spirit of Christ! Christ came to this world in a
very simple and bumble way. He, being God, came and revealed
himself as a baby, so that you and I and everyone would love
him, touch him and take him without fear. We do that when we
approach him at mass during holy communion.
What a wonderful gift of himself. When Jesus was born he
didn't have the luxury of a fancy crib, warm room and toys that
we parents provide when we are expecting our babies. Instead, he
was clothed with swaddling clothes, straw for his crib and a barn
for his room.
He showed us his way to him that, emptiness of material things
in order that he may replenish us with his gifts.
He was born into this world to give us his eternal happiness in
heaven. He was born to show us that nothing of this world is
important as his love for us. He was born to teach us the way to
him.
His. way of love, poverty and humility.
Happy Birthday Jesus!
May you be loved by the entire human race. We pray that this
Christmas you will be .born in those hearts that have been tom up
by poverty, hatred, injustice and imprisonment by drugs, alcohol,
pornography and abusive sex, so that they will enjoy the true
spirit of Christmas and someday, all of us, will attain that
magnificent day of celebrating it in heaven with him forever.
A Very Blessed and a Merry Christmas to All.

Superintendent Robert L.
Arnberger of Big Bend National
Park announced that local residents and others around the
state will have the opportunity
to participate in two Audubon
Christmas Bird Counts to be
held at Big Bend National Park
on Saturday and Sunday.
This is only one of around
1,600 similar counts taken from
Hawaii to Labrador and from
Alaska to Venezuela during the
period of mid-December to
early January. It is estimated
that about 35,000 individuals
will participate worldwide.
The Chisos Mountains Bird
Count will be held on Saturday
interested participants should
meet at 7:30 a.m. in the parking lot outside the new Basin
Visitor Center. On Sunday
again at 7:30 a.m. participants
for the Rio Grande Village Bird
Count should meet in the parking lot at the Rio Grande Village store.
The Christmas Bird Count is
undoubtedly the biggest birding
event of the year and, for some
groups, it means weeks and
days of strategy, planning and
logistics trying to amass in a
single calendar day the biggest
possible list of birds in the
designated area. By tradition,
that "count area" is a circle 15
miles in diameter, or roughly,
177 square miles.
Apart from its attraction as a
social, sporting and competitive
outing, the annual event sheds
much light on the eariy winter
distribution of the different
species of our native birds where they are and in what
numbers. Although last year's
counts in BigJJendLwere_successfully, organizers are hoping
for a bigger turnout for this
year's events, particularly in
light of the presence of the rare
tufted flycatcher in Rio Grande
Village. This birdhas been
seen in the park since early
November, and has been found
nowhere else in the United
States.
Arnberger emphasized that
count organizers are attempting
to field as many competent birders as they can. Participants
will be grouped into "parties;"
each party will search a section
of the circle or points on the
map. Ther* is no limit to the
jnumber of participants and all
"are invited to assist in this
count. Normal entrance fees
will be waived for participants,
but the Audubon Society requires a participant to pay $5
for each bird count they attend,
thus helping to pay compilation
and publishing costs.
