Hospital needs money, management
bySlMUeyGObert-AraMB
The Presidio County judge and
the medical chief of staff of
financially beleaguered Big Bend
Memorial Hospital agree that the
hospital has been mismanaged,
but differed as to how advanced a
level of care should be provided.
Judge Charlie W. Henderson
told county commissioners in
their Monday regular session, "I
am in complete agreement (with
the hospital board) that we need
that hospital . . . (and that) we
should give them some support."
However, he added, "I do not
support pouring money into that
hospital in (its) present
management configuration."
Henderson, who attended last
Thursday's special meeting of the
hospital board, also said that
those who find themselves funding the hospital "need to lower
our sights" to the level of "a
community hospital," especially
in light of what he said were
"drastic" drops in patient load
resulting from new, tighter
Medicare laws.
Marfa and Presidio County
"need " BBMH, he said, "but on
the basis of a community
hospital, not Sun Towers in El
P««n."
Presidio County Tax AssessorCollector R.D. "Rick" Thompson cited "an influx of young
doctors . . . who want that
hospital staffed and equipped
like the larger ones, and they've
got it that-a-way. But they don't
have the patients."
Dr. Paul Armerding of Marfa,
chief of the BBMH medical <taff,
said Tuesday in a telephone interview that he understands what
the county spokesmen mean, but
disagrees that advanced lifesupport capabilities are not
needed.
With the closest intensive care
unit 150 miles away in Odessa —
180 miles from Marfa'— "there
are some people right in town
who could not survive the trip"
in a life-threatening situation,
Armerding said.
He said he shares the opinion
of "some of the medical staff
(that) we do need to be more than
a community hospital. We need
to be a small regional medical
center." *^
Whether the area could support one, "I don't know," he
said.
According to Armerding, more
than 6U percent of Big Bend
Memorial's patients are over 65
and on Medicare.
In a cost-cutting move effective
last Oct. 1, the government
restructured Medicare based on
Diagnosis Related Groups, or
DROs, by which a flat price is
assigned to. various diagnoses
based on a predetermined expected length of stay and other
criteria.
The change has exacerbated
BBMH's already serious financial problems stemming from a
growing indigent patient load —
$240,000 in unpaid care reportedly was written off last year —
and, as hospital Administrator
Tom Santry has said, from the
hospital's inability to collect on
delinquent bills.
As of Dec. 31, the hospital's
short-term liabilities totaled
$633,000.
Armerding agreed with Henderson that new management is
needed, and that "it needs to be
local." The medical staff chief
said the hospital would not be in
financial trouble now if its
business practices had not been
"inept" in the past.
Armerding, who is on the
Cost-Cutting Committee appointed by the hospital board last
Thursday, said the hospital must
be equipped to care for the
critically ill because of its unique
geographical isolation.
That kind of hospital care, in
his opinion, could not be funded
by an expanded hospital taxing
district alone. "There is not that
much money in these counties as
far as I can see," he said.
He recommended that the
hospital
• continue its recently begun
intensive fund-raising efforts.

Body of Alpine woman sought
way to Big Bend
Some of the early risers in
Marfa and the area were able to
see the space shuttle Columbia
streak across the sky about 6 a.m.
Saturday heading east in
preparation for its landing in
Florida. Marfa students on their
way to Fort Stockton for UIL
competition also saw the shuttle
racing across the sky. Reports
were that it was traveling at about
Mach 4 in its final glide before
circling for a landing.

was really going to blow Wednesday, and blow it did. Fritz
Kahl said there were gusts up to

Foundation. The installation in
Marfa is to be renamed "El
Museo de Arte del Pecos" or The
Art Museum of the Pecos. Suzan
Campbell, curator, said they plan
a public opening in the spring of
1985 with all bilingual exhibits.
She said the museum plans to incorporate in Texas as a "public
charity" and leave the Dia umbrella. Though there will still be
some support from Dia, Campbell "will be looking for
broader support" than Texas
gets. She plans to attend the March annual meeting of the Texas
Association of Museums in
Houston and introduce the plan.

fuel, according to a reported
statement by one of the
passengers.
It went down at about 12:40
p.m. three miles west of Presidio
and about 100 feet south of Texas

The City of Marfa's sales tax
revenues thus far in 1984 appear
to be down 17.05 percent from
the comparable to-date payments
for 1983, according to figures
from Comptroller Bob Bullock.
However, it is difficult to compare raw payment figures to last
year's since, new reporting
requirements have converted
Marfa, Presidio and other smalland medium-sized taxpayers
from quarterly to monthly
payment schedules.
So far this year, Marfa has
received $13,339 in reimbursement of the local 1-percent
sales tax. Last year for the same
period, the city garnered $16,081.
On Friday, Bullock's office
Culberson County Sheriff
Richard Unchurch said Wednesday that Austin-based Texas
Ranger Clayton Smith and
criminal investigator Ray Hardison first brought Lucas to El
Paso on Tuesday in an attempt to1
locate a grave in that area, but
couldfindno trace.
They then brought Lucas to
Van Horn. Texas Ranger Clayton
McKinney and Jeff Davis County
Sheriff Wid McCutcheon accompanied them to a site near Valentine, according to Upchurch.
The alleged victim, according
to Upchurch, was an Angelo
female, age unknown, that Lucasclaims he and an accomplice
picked up in 1981 as she was hit-
chhiking outside Del Rio.
Following her murder, Lucas
claimed, the body was left in an
arroyo near Valentine. The accomplice's identity is being
withheld.
"Of course the area experienced heavy rains throughout the
summer of 1981. We are
assuming the body was washed
oh down the arroyo at that
time," Upchurch said.
Lucas is one-half of a duo that
has claimed a total of 165
homicides in 36 states, according
to Upchurch.
—Smith and Hardison left the
area with Lucas to return him to
jail.
Jackson, Rogers join PC AD
reported she hopes to have the
district tax rolls completed by
July I, as called for by state
guidelines. Theearlier-than-usual
date reflects the fact that acrossthe-board re-appraisals must only
be conducted biannually, with
the next scheduled for 1985.
Board trustees discussed the
need to appoint a three-member
Board of Review for 1984 and
1985. Former review board
member Dan Frank of Marfa
resigned last year, and the terms
of fellow members Ike Livingston
of Marfa and Luis Armendariz of
Presidio expired at the end of
1983.
Ms. Smith recommended
Livingston and Armendariz be
asked to serve again based on
their past service. Trustee J.M.
Humphreys agreed to contact
Livingston and another Marfa
businesssman suggested by the
board. Jackson said he would
contact Armendariz.
Property owners whose
property values have been
changed over the past year will be
given 20-day notice for appealing
to the review board.
Regular PCAD meetings will
be at 10 a.m. on the first Friday
of each month in the appraisal
office in Marfa. The review
board is expected to be appointed
at the March meeting.
Appraisal board members also
discussed late, payments to the
district's operating fund from
taxing entities. Payments are due
quarterly on the day before the
quarter begins.
Board President Charlie W.
Henderson urged trustees to attend a State Property Tax Board
conference this past week in
Austin, saying the expense is "to
your benefit, (and) to the
citizens' benefit,"
This Tuesday, Henderson
reported that he would be the
only local person attending the
informational session.
A motion by Henderson to
authorize Humphreys, who as
chief appraiser last year received
tax appraisal instructor's
training, to travel to Austin
"when he sees fit to update" his
knowledge, died for lack of a
second.
Humphreys said his teaching
tax certification courses locally
would save taxpayers $3,000 to
$4,000 a year.
The board authorized Ms.
Smith to set in motion the bidding process for naming a district
fund depository at the April
meeting.
Board members also discussed
but postponed action on
acquiring workman's compensation and unemployment insurance for employees.
After ajournment, Jackson
asked what the requirements are
for the City of Presidio to join
the appraisal district, whose tax
year started Jan. 1.
Presidio voters passed a sewer
bond issue proposal late last year,
opening the way for the city's first ad valorem taxation.
Hendreson said, "As far as
I'm concerned, they (Presidio)
could join the day before the tax
roll is out. But they are going to
pay (their share of the district's
operating (costs) from thefirstof
the year."
Jackson said he was asking in
order to take the information
back to the city on an informal
basis.

Educators study ESL methods
by Elpidia Nunez
Presidio Elementary School
Principal Rene Franco, Junior
High Principal Armando
Carrasco and teachers Teresa
Leyva, Ellis Villalobos and Jesus
Torrez attended the second part
of an "English as a Second
Language'* workshop to learn
the keys to teaching students with
limited English proficiency to
become accomplished in the
language.
The ESL Workshop, Feb. 2 at
The University of Texas-Permian
Basin in Odessa, was attended by
some 150 educators from Permian Basin and surrounding area
schools.
'This is an excellent workshop
which takes current theory and
provides an excellent hands on
approach to classroom teaching.
I highly recommend it for all
teachers, not just for ESL
teachers," said Franco.
Carrasco agreed the workshop
was "absolutely fabulous in content and presentation. Not one
minute was wasted. We'll share
many ideas with other teachers.
Leyva commented, "We've
been trying to teach students to
speak, read and write English
before they have mastered how to
use the successful, natural patterns of first language learning
and . . . English as a second
language."
Villalobos elaborated: "We
learned how to teach English
speaking skills in an effective,
natural pattern that students will
enjoy learning and better retain.
We also learned how to use
language experience techniques
with ESL students of all ages."
Workshop instructor Berty
Segal is known as one of the top
ESL teacher trainers in the
nation.
In the second workshop, she
focused on the needs of ESL
students who already have
limited English proficiency but
need to develop full proficiency.
Segal is the author of
"Teaching English Through Action," a practical guide for the
billingual classroom.

Rice stitchery exhibit set
A collection of stitchcries by
Marfa artist Beryl Rke will be
exhibited at Sul Ross State
University starting March 18 with
an opening-day reception, and
continuing into April.
Rice has been interested in stitchery as an art form lor many
years. In 1962 she and her
husband John commissioned
popular artist Martha Mood to
create a number of wall hangings
for their home in San Antonio.
The same collection is currently on display at La Mota Gallery
in downtown Marfa.
Rice's own original art
creations in the form of cloth applique and embroidery stitchcries
are also on display at the Marfa
gallery.
She studied at Brera Art Institute in Milan, Italy, and in San
Antonio at Trinity University and
McNay Art Institute. Her
teachers have been Frederick
Taubes, Michael Frary, Ramon
Froman and Jan Herring, as well
as Charles "Bob" Hext of the Sul
Ross Art Department.
One of her creations was awarded second place in the Annual
Art Show at Bassett Center in El
Paso and another placed second
in the Governor's Art Contest in
San Angdo. She was honored to
have one of her stitchcries,
"Mariposa," exhibited in the
biannual International Designer
Craftsman Show at the El Paso
Museum of Art. She has won a
number of awards for her watercolors in West Texas.
Rice also has worked extensively with ceramics and sculpture, but at present says she
prefers the doth and thread
medium.
Her more recent creations, to
be induded in the Sul Ross show,
have been character studies in
cloth of famous show people —
Fred Astaire, Mary Martin*
Carol Channing, Marilyn
Monroe, Mae West and opera
star Luciano Pavarotti.
Her workshop during the past
few months has been the
cookhouse dining room at La
Mota Ranch, which between
meals is strewn with scissors,
needles, fabrics and threads, she
says.
The Sul Ross exhibit will be
located in the Museum of the Big
Bend.
The opening day reception will
be from 2 to 5 p.m. at the
museum.

• actively seek endowment

But wealthy area individuals
who might otherwise contribute
**are reluctant to put those
thousands of dollars into an institution that has proven itself
inept financially,'* he said.
Henderson on Monday said he
approved of the much-discussed
idea of expanding the hospital
district to include not only
Brewster but Presidio, Jeff Davis
and Terrell counties, with one
condition, "we should go ahead
and do it — provided
management is put in different
hands.'*
Specifically, Henderson said,
the judges of the. surrounding
counties involved should be the
hospital's directors. "It follows
that the people responsible for
getting the money in the first
place should (manage it)/' he
said.
Armerding reacted cautiously.
"Just because you're a good
county. commissioner doesn't
mean you're uniquely qualified
1
to be on the hospital board." He
added that past board members
have "consistently" not been
"the best people available to run
the hospital on a sound financial
basis."
However, Armerding said, the
current ex officio, non-voting
status of the three outside area
county judges on the hospital
board is "a joke" and that they
should be given voting privileges
on all issues affecting the
hospital's operations.
Regarding the Medicare
problem, Armerding said many
people don't realize that under
the DRO system, even if a patient
suffers from secondary symptoms while under hospital care,
the hospital may only submit one
diagnosis for Medicare reimbursement. Also, the hospital may
not charge the difference to the
patient if actual care costs exceed
the prescribed Medicare price.
A review last year of patient
charges showed that Medicare
covered only the "bare
minimum'' of patient care costs
even before the introduction of
DROs, according to Armerding.
The hospital cannot survive
with its present system of income," he said. "We're not
going to make (the difference) up
with raising the rates."
Another facet of the new
Medicare is that its price list is
weighted in favor of urban
medical care, Armerding said.
The same care by the same type
of doctor is reimbursed at a
higher rate in the city than in
rural areas, he said. However,
some costs to hospitals — for
drugs, for example — are higher
far from urban centers, he said.
Serving on the Cost-Cutting
Committee with Armerding are

Inside the lines
by Shelley Gilbert-Allison
Last Thursday night's meeting of Marfa's
"Chemical People" group — now called Marfa
Citizens for Youth — was testimony that clear
thinking and determination can overcome inertia,
even in Marfa.
>
In a town not known for its activism or particularly receptive to change, at least 25 parents,
educators, clergy and other concerned persons
have dared to buck the odds and declare war
against drug and alcohol abuse.
Those 25 present and accounted for Thursday
were more than -that;: They were organized, orderly and full of well-thought-out ideas for
leading Marfa's youth away from the drug rut
toward more wholesome activities and helping
them make the adjustment.
It is not ill-advised for an outsider to approach
a group with such stated purposes warily.
However, sitting in on an MCY meeting will
dissolve any fears of budding vigilantism or calls
for a return to Prohibition. Level heads such as
Fritz Popken's prevailed Thursday.
Popken, a member of the committee for
Education Out of School, embodied the name in
his encouragement of "common sense:"
"If you are taking solely an adversary stance,
you are getting into a buzzsaw," he said. ". . .
What we have to realize . . . is that there are
(social) procedures accepted in this life" that you
cannot put a stop to through sheer insistence. The
level of crime increased during Prohibition in the
1930s, he reminded.
Conversely, Popken added, many citizens and
particularly the media "almost shy away from
taking a stance" against the debilitating effects of
psychoactive drug and alcohol overuse, preferring
to concentrate on the dangers of toxic substances
like EDB that cause cancer in animals when administered at thousands of times the average
human dose.
Marfa Citizens for Youth realize, fortunately,
that they cannot force anyone, youth or adult, to
stop abusing their systems with drugs or drink.
The best strategy, they agreed, is to present people
of all ages with the facts.
The decisions will be up to them.
"We're not trying to make tee-totalers out of
adults,*' Education Out of School committee
member Bryan LaBeff explained. But, he said,
when adults are led to examine the things their
children do, they may also begin to scrutinize their
own habits, and "I think we might change some
adults, too."
With goals, committees, overall strategy and a
name worked out, MCY leaders wisely recognized
the next challenge to their progress — the everpresent danger of meeting for meetings' sake.
The idea is "not to expand this group," cofounder and Vice President D'Ette Fowlkes told
participants, "but how to expand the ideas of this
group" into the community at large.
She sees* MCY as a "task force" aimed at
mobilizing others to action. The group plans to
reach into schools and homes for support, which
members hope will also pinpoint people with
problems who can be helped.

IV. T; and Marcie Arthur Davis in 1907 or 1906 In their "variety"
store located in the 100 block of East El Paao Street in Marfa.
Mcafa pays tribute to its pioneers
W.T. AND MARCIE ARTHUR DAVIS
When W.T. and Marcie Arthur Davis came to
Marfa from Pearsall, Texas, in 1907, they opened
a variety store.
In the same year Mrs. Davis and Mrs. R.S.
McCracken organized the first Sunday School of
the First Baptist Church.
Davis later bought the "Botella Ranch," now a
part of the Big Bend Ranch, 14 miles from Polvo,
now the town of Redford.
There the family lived during the time the
notorious Mexican rebel, Pancho ViUa, was
terrorizing not only the Mexican citizenry but also
the Texas ranchers who lived along the Mexican
border.
Halite Davis Patterson recounts some of the experiences of her family during those years on the
ranch:
"Both horses and cattle were stolen from the
ranch during the Villa raids. Two Texas Rangers
who were stationed at the ranch, with the help of
my father and neighbors, recovered stolen
livestock several times.
"There was a U.S. Army troop with a doctor
stationed at Polvo. Once when my mother was
very ill, Daddy took her there to receive medical
treatment from the army doctor.
"There was no place for us to stay, but the
wonderful Madrid family took our family into
their home. After two weeks my mother
recovered; and we were able to return to the ranch
feeling happily blessed with having made the
Madrid family our new friends.
"Not long after the event our family was returning to the ranch from Marfa — an all-day trip in
an open car— when we were caught in a flash
flood.
"When the car stalled in a flooded draw, Daddy
lifted my brother Sonny into his arms and headed
to the ranch house for help; but when the rushing
water swept the shoes from his feet, he realized he
would never make the two-mile trip to the house
with a 1-year-old. He tied Sonny with a barbed
wire to a fence and again started to the house.
"Mama, Truett, Trice and I were still in the car
with water rushing over us while we clung to the
ribs of the car top.
"A Mr. Joe Huester, who worked on the ranch,
became concerned for our safety and set out to
look for us. He found Daddy barefoot, struggling
over the hills and rocks.
"When Daddy told him where we were, he put
Daddy on the horse. They found Sonny still tied to
the fence, then came to the big draw and found us
in the car. Providentially, a huge whirlpool had
formed a sand bank around the car which prevented it from going downstream.
"Mr. Huester rode his horse into the flood
water beside the car and took us out one at a time.
Cold and wet, we walked to the ranch house.
"We survived the experience and continued our
happy life in that wild country until we moved
back to Marfa several years later."
Davis was elected county judge of Presidio
County in 1926, a position he held until his
retirement in 1937.
He served as county school superintendent for
-several years.
Mr. and Mrs. Davis helped organize the
Paisano Baptist Encampment.
MR. AND MRS. PHILLIP E. ARTHUR
The parents of Mrs. W.T. Davis, Mr. and Mrs.
Phillip E. Arthur, came with their son, Clarence
P. Arthur, to Presidio County in 1911. They
bought the Mimbrosa Ranch, a part of the old
Pool ranch, 36 miles south of Marfa.
They made their first trip to the ranch by
wagon. There they built an adobe home which is
still in use today.
Ranch neighbors of the Arthurs were the
R.E.L. Tylers, Hugh Ridouts, William Ridouts
and the F.C. Mellards.
The ranch is still in the family and operated by
the Arthurs* grandchildren, Sonny Davis and
Hallie Davis Patterson; and by their greatgrandchildren, the children of Truett and Trice.

However, all refunds will be

They'll be small because the

Collinsworth has concluded

Texas, according to the company. Interim rates were allowed
by state law, subject to refund, if
after three months the PUC had
not ruled on the company's
request.
WTU asked for an increase of
$26 million annually and the
PUC staff recommended $10
million. The commission approved $12 million, with the new
rates effective Jan. 6.
WTU now will pay customers
the difference between the interim rates and the new rates,

Refunds are being credited to

Amounts to residential
customers are averaging less than
$5, including interest.
Customers in Marfa, Presidio,

towns which had denied the rate

commission are not affected.

8th-graders play best of year

Playing their last two games of

crowd, Coach Mark Sohl's seventh- and eighth-grade teams drew
opposite results against the
Alpine Bucks.
"We controlled the tempo of
this game from the very start, and
the kids really learned the fundamentals of the game, plus the
value of defense as they forced
turnover after turnover with a
good man-to-man defense."

St. Mary's School winners of Friday's El Peso
Diocese Speech Competition ere ell smiles,
(Photo by Rudy Diaz)
ss Is their principal Sister Mary of the Cross.
Students each get A for effort
by Anna Land
Gnett Editorial
Good things, Happy events can
come in surprise packages . . .
just as on last Thursday evening
when Pat Ryan surprised me with
an invitation to be one of the five
judges for the El Paso Diocese
Speech Competition at St. Mary's
School t ha following morning.
My only regret of the whole
joyous day is that all the judges
couldn't have all their favorites
win blue ribbons. One of my
favorites didn't.
That is because we averaged the
score points given each contestant by each judge; the 100
points I'd given was averaged
with the fewer points given by
some of the other judges.
The fifth grade accumulated
the most points and so won the
trophy for best grade performance
Certainly each participant gets
gold stars from me for his/her
willingness to stand up on stage.
Praises, too, for the efforts ap"*B
plied in memorizing, timing, appearance and choice of literature.
Poems were recited, prose
pieces read; excitement ran high.
St. Mary's cheerleaders brought
it to fever pitch just before the
awards were to be given.
What an honor to announce the
honors! I have a permanent inside smile just remembering the
radiance and uncontainable joy
that filled the room. That was an
energy high, no question about it.
Everyone present made Feb.
10, 1984, a memorable day,

Have y'all seen those crazy ads
these last two weeks? About
"Mad Killer" and "War
Declared"?
Those ads were written by a
small group of Marfa High
School students to attract the
public's attention.
The group, instructor Harold
Steele's Advanced Social
Problems class, goes by the
acronym ASPEN — which
currently stands for Advanced
Social Problems Entertainment
Night. (The "EN" varies with the
occasion.)
The ads are to draw attention
to the fact that the students will
present a variety show at 7:30
*p.m. next Thursday, Feb. 23, at
the Beta Sigma Phi Building.
Local talent and entertainers will
be featured in the Wild, Wild
West Round-up.
"Coach" Steele began the Advanced Social Problems Class
this school year as a challenge for
students who want to become involved in the community.
During the year ASPEN has
planned and presented an antidrug play, a Veterans' Day
program, and a Gong Show.
Presently the class is involved
with the Marfa task force against
drug abuse, Marfa Citizens for
ter, as well as the Round-up
show.
Preparations for the entertainment night have been difficult end extensive. To begin
with, contacts had to be made, a
location found and the public informed. Organization and planning ahead were important to a
pleasingperformance.
ASPEN chose to present entertainers from the surrounding
area. Chris Little and Linda
Grubb, Estella Ramos and the
Mariachi Band, and Derlyne
Freeman are Just a few who will
be part of the show.
ASPEN went to the Chamber
of Commerce, Rotary Club and
Lions Club in hopes of invotvias
the community. Results have
been rewarding. By reaching
businesses, ASPEN has sold advertisements and gathered door
prizes to be given throughout the
evening.
To prevent the excuse of, "I
can't leave my children,"
ASPEN contacted the Methodist
Youth Group, which will provide
babysitters.
ASPEN members are very optimistic about the program and
enthusiastically await its arrival
— the result of many months of
hard work.

Utilities thanked
for moratorium
Small-business
Jw$
Texas Public Utility Commission Chairman Alan R. Erwin
has sent a thank-you letter to the
chief executive officers of 35 electric utilities in Texas which are
participating in a moratorium on
service disconnections for
customers unable to pay
unusually high December bills in
a single payment.
Electric utilities serving more
than four million customers in
245 of the state's 254 counties
have volunteered to offer extensions or payment plans to their
customers on a case-by-case basis
using guidelines suggested by Erwin as a result of record cold
weather felt throughout Texas in
December.
Locally, West Texas Utilities is
included among the 10 investorowned electric utilities which
have volunteered to participate in
the program.

program may be obtained by

TELEPHONE ACCESS CHARGES
LATEST HEADACHE FOR
SMALL BUSINESS
Most small-buiiness people reading this column will be
surprised to learn that they aren't really small-business
people after all - at least according to the Federal Communications Commission.
Last month, in a decision which will cost realtors, florists,
service station operators and millions of other business owners hundreds of dollars a year, the FCC postponed telephone
access charges for residential users and for "small businesses."
But the FCC definition of small business is a business with
only one telephone line!
Since last fall, there have been increasing signs that the
breakup of the communications monopoly might not have
the desired effect. Instead of lowering phone costs, it is apparent most small-business people will pay more for their
phone service.
Access charges are at the heart of the problem. These are
the charges AT&T assesses - with the approval of the FCC to compensate for proposed rate reductions for AT&T long
distance service. In a survey of its members in November,
NFIB learned that 73 percent of the small-business owners
responding oppose imposition of access chargos. In that same
survey, 62 percent rejected the idea of measured service for
local calls.
Members of Congress are worried about the impact of the
new charges on their constituents - at least their residential
constituents. The House passed legislation before Christmas
banning access charges for residential users and one-line small
businesses. More than 30 Senators urged the FCC to delay
imposition of access charges on those same user groups until
the matter could be studied further.
But the FCC response places the burden squarely on business. Small businesses with more than one phone line will
begin paying $6 per month per line beginning in April. That's
just the federal portion of the new charges. State public
utility commissions are expected to authorize access charges
of their own; in most cases another $6. A florist with three
lines could pay $288 a year in access charges alone. In addition, many local phone companies have already requested
and received permission to hike basic phone rates.
Small-business owners as a group favor a less regulated
economy. But they want the burden for services to be shared
equally by all users. Many of the business people with whom
I have talked recently wonder why the cost of telephone service needs to be so complicated. They suspect access charges
are nothing more than a surcharge and that they should be
called just that.
If the phone companies cannot provide service at existing
rates - whether long distance or local service - let them say
so and request adequate rates for the services provided. But
let those rates be charged to all users. And until a new,
equitable rate system is devised, the FCC should extend its
postponement of access charges to all users.
Sales tax
(Continued from Page 1)
payment last year of $10,482, according to Bullock's figures.
Statewide, 1984 payments are
running 2.57 percent ahead of
last year, according to Bullock.
"Even with the bookkeeping
changes, these payments reflect
the recovery that is underway in
our state economy," he said.
"When it's all said and done,
Texans apparently had the best
Christmas in our history in terms
of retail sales."
Ramirez completes
recruit training
Marine Pvt. Jimmy R.
Ramirez, son of Celia Ramirez
and Eusebio Ramirez, both of
Marfa, has completed recruit
training at the Marine Corps
Recruit Depot, San Diego.
During the 11-week training
cycle, he learned the basics of
battlefield survival. He was introduced to the typical daily
routine that he will experience
during his enlistment and studied
the personal and professional
standards traditionally exhibited
by Marines.
He participated in an active
physical conditioning program
and was taught a variety of
military skills, includingfirstaid,
rifle marksmanship and close order drill. Teamwork and selfdiscipline were emphasized
throughout the training cycle.
PERSONAL
Margaret Johnson returned
home about a week ago after a
IM-month sojourn. She stayed
with her son, Raymond Moon,
for about a week in Houston, and
with her daughter, Myrta Moon,
in San Antonio, for the duration.
Ms. Moon recently returned from
U;S. Navy duty in Italy and will
be stationed at San Antonio for
the next three years.

"The reasons for the decrease
can not be easily pinpointed/*
remarked Supt. Douglas McChristian. "There seems to have
been a general decline in tourism
this year in West Texas."
Although visitation was down,
seam metal roof was installed on
the hospital storehouse, storage
facilities for the museum were
expanded and the "company
streets" along the perimeter of
the parade ground were reestablished for a more historic
appearance.
"The only other construction
project to befinishedfor the year
is the re-decking of the porches
along officer's row *fhd the
hospital," said McChristian.

Hormone cream is compounded to supply hormones to estrogen-deficient skin. It should be
used in the proper sequence in a
daily skin care program.
External applications of
estrogen help enhance skin texture, color and blood supply.
They also aid in increasing the
skin's thickness, thereby helping
to counteract the generally las
desirable appearance of thin skin.
Hormone cream's estrogen
helps soften lines and improve
the fullness, water retention and
growth of new epidermal, or
skin, cells.
Evidence has shown that a
decrease in estrogen can be one of
the factors causing the skin to
show characteristics of aging.

Mr. J l a - T b t Biography of Jimcs
SaUfctr AbtrcfOBbte, Author: Patrick J.
Nicholson, Ph.D.. Publisher: Oulf
Publishing Company, Book Division,
Houston, I99S, 416 pages,figures,charts,
photos, index, hardcover, SI5.95 (export
$20).
Newly published, Mr. Jim»
The Biography of James
Smithers Abercrombie chronicles
the exciting life of this dominant
figure in the petroleum industry.
The book describes the
achievements and civic contributions of this extraordinary
man.,
Abercrombie was the inventive
genius and industrialist who
founded Cameron Iron Works.
He was also a philanthropist of
foresight and generosity.
The opening chapter of Mr.
Jim takes readers over the centuries to the beginnings of the
clan Abercromby in Scotland.
The book follows the Abercrombies first to North Carolina in
1741, then to Georgia, Alabama,
and finally Texas.
Col. John Comer Abercrombie
follows Sam Houston to the
gracious town of Huntsville. It is
here Jim Abercrombie is born,
but he moves his family to
Houston, where in 1908 at age
17, he goes to work as a
roustabout.
This is the beginning of his
long and profitable career in the
petroleum industry.
Years later with Harry
Cameron
he incorporates
Cameron Iron Works, and they
develop the first practical
blowout preventer.
Later chapters tell of wildcatting, his marriage, the difficult
days of the Depression, his partnership with Dan J. Harrison,
and the ensuing big oil strike at
Old Ocean.
During the war, FDR himself
calls "Mr. Jim" to the White
House to discuss the critical
aviation gasoline plant at Old
Ocean.
Final chapters focus on Mr.
Jim's decision to build and support Texas Children's Hospital,
on hardball politics at Suite 8-F
of the Lamar Hotel, and on his
association with ringmasters in
oil and politics. The history ends
with his death in 1975 at 84.
Author Patrick J. Nicholson,
Ph.D., is a retired vice president
of the University of Houston and
is president of two philanthropic
foundations.

means guaranteed passing
grades. There should be no effort
on their part. Their grades should
be given to them.
I've been accused of "giving"
bad grades, but very seldom have
been accused of giving good
grades.
I heard an interesting theory
this morning about how to make
students appreciate what they
have. The theory is that after the
sixth grade, you make the little
darlings drop out and work for a
year, not just your typical
babysitting jobs either, but real
work.

Can*t you just picture little
gangs of would-be seventh

morning under armed supervisors? Just think how clean our
community would be with our little cleaning brigade making a,
dawn patrol.

A lot of attention, some good
and some bad, has been directed
towards education institutions
lately.
Teachers have been drawing a
lot of flak, and so have sports
programs and student discipline.
Americans seem to take their
educational institutions for granted. The United States is one of
the few nations in the world
.where a free education is guaranteed to all, not some.
In some nations, students need
to pass certain level exams before
they can proceed with their
education. In others, the state
decides what course of study a
pupil will follow, if any. It may.
decide he will serve the state better as a truck driver than medical
technician, or serve best as a tank
driver along a cold border.
But many Americans scrm to
think a guaranteed education

There could be lots of little
jobs for them. Maybe the school
could hire them out to the highest
bidder.
It might even help the budget.
I bet after a year of hard
manual labor, they would be glad
to get back to an intellectual
challenge.
I don't think it would work
though. There are such things as
civil rights. And it seems in
America they even apply to
children.
(P.S. — Dear Anon of Potpourri, I hope you make sure
your kittens are given to responsible homes.)

Hi! Missed you fine folks last
week. Made a little sortie out of
town and missed the deadline.
Have you noticed how office
'faces' are changing in Marfa?
For instance, S T l t O l ^ K N I T
has moved north on the corner to
be in with ARTISAN'S ALLEY,
GEORGE CROSS PHARMACY
will he moving in its place, DIA
ART will expand where
ROGERS REAL ESTATE was,
WEST TEXAS UTILITIES
COMPANY is taking in and
remodeling the MEEKER &
MEEKER plus BIG BENT
COMMUNITY ACTION offices
(renovation to begin soon, according to JOHN), and of course the
MARFA NATIONAL BANK
will be moving to their new
building this weekend. Now if we
could just fill up all the 'empties*
twould be nice.
Have you been out to FIRST
SAVINGS & LOAN lately? The
ladies there - MARY ANN
DONALDSON (she is so
professional), BEVERLY
PEISER (very efficient) and
LINDA WEBB (cute as a bug) along with their lovely surroundings, make it a pleasure to be
there.
Have you noticed that: SARA
at the MARFA TV-CABLE is
always so pleasant? . . . GORDO
at MANDO'S has lots of patience? . . . MYRNA BAKER
-»oks so young? . . JOSE
JIMENEZ is so congenial? . . .
DAVE
HOWARD
does
everything . . . and SHERMAN
BALES is retired. (From what?)
. . .justkidding,SHERM.
My wife has the worst possible
memory — she never forgets!
How many of you attend the
BETA SIGMA PHI Valentine
Dance Saturday night? Was told
how pretty the decorations were
in honor of their lovely ladies,
SHARON BAKER, Queen, and
ETHELYN
BAUER
as
Sweetheart. Congratulations!
