wagons. The parade, which begins at 11 A . M . . will travel
through the center of town and
end at the arena, where a wedding uniting Tootie Garlick and
Rocelia Vandergriff will be performed.

open at 10 A . M . ; roping begins
at 11 A . M . and will continue
until dark. Fee is a 3-for $60 per

candelilla harvesting-wax extraction activities on the West'
Texas ranch. Candelilla wax is
an ingredient in the manufacture
.of cosmetics, chewing gum and
candy.

As you know, I have not lived in Marfa since 19SS. However,
ail these years I have continued to receive and enjoy the paper
each week.
Many times, I have been amazed and delighted in reading the
interesting, thoughtful, insightful, and often humorous comments
of many Marfans, both local and relocated. Most of these*
expressions of opinion have shown caring and concern for Marfa,
and a knowledge of the issues, bom local and sometimes wider.
However, for the first time, I felt anger and an unwillingness to
believe that the comments expressed in a recent letter were
representative of the Marfa I'have always known and loved.
I categorically disagree and take issue with just about every one
Q{ the statements made by an individual who seems to have a
"sore rear." Perhaps a refresher course in high school social
studies or a year's subscription to a good national news magazine
would inform this individual on the issues of which he speaks.
Most outrageous of all was the comment about the member of
Clinton's cabinet Come on, folks! It's time to be part of today's
world. Prejudicial treatment on the basis of race or sex, as well as
color, national origin, handicap or family status is now and has
been for a long time unlawful as well as immoral:
Maybe one's "rear end" would not give such a lot of discomfort
if one did not speak out of it!

Dear Buck Newsome,
What exactly are you complaining about? The laws we live by or
who lays them dnwn for m? I found your remark about 'some
Negro woman" sexist and rude. You have every right to voice
you opinion - that is one reason America is the greatest country in
the world. But next time you do, please leave out the prejudice
and sexism.
Sincerely,

Our Troop #3 is lucky enough to have been given a donation
from the X i Eta Omega Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi that will pay
for 4 to 6 badges for the entire Troop.'
But you can see how important the cookie sale is to all the girls,
and I hope the people of Marfa will continue to support Girl
Scouting.
In fact, it's not too late to order Girl Scout cookies. Just call our
cookie chairman, Rose Carrillo at 729-3110 or me at 729-3293.
Thank you.

Editor:
Seeing in the paper today another report on a suit being brought
in Tallahassee, Florida, by survivors of a mob attack on a black
community, Rosewood, of that state in 1923,1 think it might be
appropriate to print a copy of a letter I sent to the Tallahassee
(Fla.) Democrat a couple of weeks ago on this very subject:
"Sir: I have just read of the State of Florida's legislature taking
under consideration the compensation of descendants of the
vandalization and destruction of Rosewood back in 1923. Clearly

psyche over the last few years. In an effort to create drama, as in
good versus bad, television constandy frames contests of
athleticism as winners versus losers.
It hasn't always been this way. We used to admire and respect
great efforts. Boxer Jake La Motta bit the dust many times in his
career, but he fought so valiantly he will always be respected.
Sugar Ray Leonard drops a bout after a detached retina, and he's
history.
1 spent very little time watching the Olympics, so 1 don't qualify
as an expert. But having been an average athlete in my youth, I
tried to imagine how thrilling it must have been to participate in
such a grand spectacle. The comraderie, the adrenalin-pumping
competition and the joy of being part of history ail seemed just a
bit too much for me to imagine. But what would be harder to
imagine would be to have been part of that and have to come
home feeling like a loser.
That's the message that TV seems to be sending, and I think it
robs our young people of one of the great joys of life. To do your
best, under tremendous pressure, should be enough to allow one
to walk away with their head held high and memories to last a
lifetime.
The joy is in the game, yes, the game. A McDonald's
endorsement isnot the goal, it's a fringe benefit.
Fame, as noted in this column last week, can b : a terrible
burden. But the kind of fame achieved by playing hard and fair on
a high level is something to treasure for a lifetime. The grace with
which one later makes the transition to mere mortal status is a true
measure of greatness.
Finally, in respect.to all of the athletes, what a great show it
was. And, despite the commercialism, the Olympic spirit remains
alive and well. All Olympic athletes are winners.

company President Jeff Haynes
said last week.
"It's the technology of the future here today," he said.
The cable will stretch underground from Big Bend Telephone's Presidio office to its
main office and switching station in Alpine, he said.
The new line will bring significant but sublime changes when
the system is brought on line
this summer, he said.
"Customers won't notice
much difference," Haynes said,
"but there should be more clarity on the line and the reliability
of service should be significantly more enhanced."
Microwave signals are susceptible to climactic changes,
which often causes the signal to
fade in and out.
Fiber optic cable is composed
of strands of razor-thin flexible
glass, which carries laser light

Fiber-optic also is capable of

Fort Davis NHS celebrates
Women's History Month
FORT. DAVIS - In observance
of Women's History Month,
Fort Davis NHS has a special
exhibit devoted to frontier officers' wives on display in the
Visitor Center.
The theme of the exhibit "Life
was not always full of Hardships," focuses on the social aspects of frontier military living in
the 1880s.
With the emergence of mail order catalogues, such as
Montgomery Ward and Lord and
Taylor, army women could order the latest fashions from back
East.
The construction of the railroad through West Texas in the
early 1880s made it possible to
receive goods from New York
and Chicago within a few days.
Officers' wives engaged in numerous hobbies, often went
horseback riding, and were always ready for a 'bop* or party.
The exhibit, which features articles of clothing, original photographs, and sewing and painting
items, will remain up for the
entire month.
In addition to the exhibit, a special display of publications on
frontier women is set up in the
Visitor Center.
A fifteen minute-long video,
produced by the Fort staff, is
being shown in the auditorium
upon request.'

Illiteracy is a problem which affects all communities. There are
about 27 million Americans that cannot read or write. The United
States ranks 49th in literacy level among 158 countries of the
United Nations.
These are just a couple of statistics to show you why it is
important that we learn to help those who lack in the skills of
reading and writing. For without these skills it is difficult for
anyone to function in our society.
Last Saturday, a tutoR training workshop was held here at our
library. During the workshop, we learned how to structure lessons
for students. It was a most interesting workshop.
If you missed the workshop and are interested in learning how to
teach someone to read and write, call or come by the library. We
have materials which will give you more information. We
sincerely thank all the people that attended the workshop.
The book review presented by Mr. Ned Wilson on February 17,.
was a big success. Mr. Wilson's book-"For Pilot's Eyes Only"As
now available for checkout. In his book, Mr. Wilson talks about
his lifetime as a pilot for PanAmerican Airways. Also, M r .
Wilson shares his brushes with the regulatory process along with
the stories of working with his fellow crew members.
We sincerely thank M r . Ned Wilson for his sharing some of the
stories from his book. Don't forget to look for his book on our
shelves of new titles.
The day of M r . Wilson's book review, we drew for the
dollhouse. The winner was Nia Flores. We thank everyone that
supported this project. Benefits from the dollhouse giveaway will
go towards the T L A Conference trip. The Texas Library .
Association Conference will beheld on April 12-16, in Corpus
Christi. Both Natalia and I plan to attend the conference. The
library will be kept open by volunteers that week.
Videos will not be checked out to anyone under 18 years during

the two categories-pre-emergent
or post-emergent. Pre-emergent
herbicides are used to prevent
the weed seeds from germinating. They perform their best if
used before you ever see the
weeds. You need to know
which weeds will emerge in
your lawn and buy the preemergent weed killer for those.
Post-emergent weed killers are
for use after the weed is up and
growing. The best results are
obtained if the herbicide is applied before the weeds mature
and produce new seeds. Be sure
to read and follow the directions on any pesticide used.
It takes you by surprise. One day
you're sailing along —and the next
thing you know—you're swamped.
It's a feeling ot life out of control,
yet you dent know exactly how it
happened. It was a itle project —
that grew; a smal habit—that got
out of hand; a subtle retationshtp—
that hurt someone; afinywrong —
that overwhelmed.

The Federal Government's new definition of a "wetland is - any area
that has moisture within 14 inches of the ground for 7 consecutive days
during any given year - 'Moisture within 14 inches of the ground for 7
consecutive days!' Chances are excellent that you have a 'wetland' on
your property.
Harmless - no threat ? Ask the people who have lost land, use of their
property, or even served jail sentences by acting as though they had
the freedom to do as they pleased with what they owned.
There is an answer to these extreme measures!

with radio-active materials in the years immediately following
World War 11. At that time there was no real public awareness of
the hazards of radiation and those "in the know" were moreexcited witlrthe experimental potential of this new "toy" than its
possible hazards. Obviously they were highly culpable but the
time and conditions under which those experiments took place
should be major factors in any final assigning of blame or
assessment of damages. "History does have a context."

Fort Davis
FORT DAVIS - Each fall, Fort
Davis NHS hosts a special evening of moonlight tours of the
post.
The evening, entitled "From
Retreat to Tattoo" has become so
successful that area residents and
visitors have asked that it be repeated during the year.
Superintendent Jerry R. Yarbrough has announced that this
year Fort Davis NHS will conduct two "Retreat to Tattoo" evenings, one in the fall and the
other on Saturday, March 26.
The setting will be after the
bugle call "retreat "which designated the end of the work day, and just prior to "tattoo" which
historically alerted the soldiers to
prepare for bed.

Speaking before the West of
the Pecos Republican Women's
Club at its February 28 meeting, Alpine City Council
woman Carta Valdez told the
group that, "Our nation is in
trouble. It needs' people who
care." That conviction underlies
her willingness to Serve.
In her introduction of the
speaker/ Program Chairman
Eunice Vincent noted that Valdez is a graduate of Sul Ross
University. and a" mathematics
teacher in the Alpine Junior
High School. She is heavily involved in youth and Christian
ministries. ,
Valdez started her talk by saying that she is a Republican because.she believes in the values
of die Republican party,.. She
talked about her appointment to
the City Council; and she^de-I
scribed her mitial reluctance to
add yet another job to her busy
life wtien she was/first approachedto serve in this post.
Ultimately, Valdez accepted.the
appointment because she felt it
.was.her civic responsibility to
serve when, asked to do so, and
because she, wanted: to give
something back tothe country

cited two other advantages of

are also some disadvantages to
serving in public office. She explained that there is always a
great deal of criticism, and
some people allow their enmity
to affect every aspect of their
relationship with the office
holder. This results in a job
which is physically and emotionally exhaustirg.
The speaker urged her audience to show some appreciation
for civil servants. She believes
that many of them' are overworked, underpaid, and unappreciated. She also urged local
citizens to attend the Council
meetings. She emphasized that
by attending meetings, asking
