Customer c:Iasses not affected by the proposed rate increa·se would be industrial and large air conditioning c:Iassifications.

The basis for the rate filing is a study by an independent consulting firm on the costs and revenues of the West Texas City Plant System for the calendar year ending December 31. 1983. The study reflected that the cost of service exceeded the revenue at present rates by 58,914.983 .

ests ance expenses. depreciation expenses, taxes and a rate of return on rate base. i

The overall rate of return bemg requested -by Energas in the current filing as related to a net original cost rate base is 11.63 percent.

The last rate filed by Energas for the West Texas City Plant System was in 1981 and the subsequent increase of 35.2 cents per Mcf was effective for all bills rendered on or after Dece mbe r IS . 1981.

While Energas has been able to hold cost increases to a level below ge neral inflation rates since the last rate req uest. the ad valorem and miscellaneous tax es . operation and maintenance expenses. and prices for needed new eq uipment and plant

facilities have increased above the 1981 cost leve ls. Cost increases, coupled with lower sales volume than anticipated in 1981 . have resulted in the revenue deficit sa id co mpany officials.

Charles K. Vaughan, preside nt and chief executive officer of Energas. noted that ' the company had recently implemented an extensive cost reduc· tion program. "Operating and main· tenance expenses were reduced by SI .2 million in a concentrated effon by the employees and managemen t of Energas ." he said. .. and that cost reduction has been taken into account in this filing. "

He fun her noted that all cost and reve nu e figures were adjusted to

... e fl ect the operations of Energas

'erease Company as an independent entity . and that the spin-off of Energas Company from its former parent corporation has had no effect on the need for o r the amount of the requested rate increase .

Governing bodies of the 63 cities and towns in the West Texas City Plant System will be provided with additional information from Energas as supportive documentat ion for th e company's rate increase request.

In its application to the cities to increase the general s e rvic e rate, Energas has proposed a n effective date of August 10. 19&1. However . the cities are expected to suspend the operation of the rates filed for a period not to exceed 90 days beyond this date in order to provide more time to study

the filing . " We feel the rate request is valid

and that the company has de mon· strated a commitment to hold costs down. " said Vaughan . .. Energas is prepared to meet with representat ives of the 63 communities at the earli est possible time to discuss the filing .

"Through the years. Energas Com­pany has workcd very closely with it s cities and towns served and with their representati ves. The cities and the company ha ve been able to resolve any differe nces in rate matte rs. We are proud of the Energas record of reliable gas supply. dependable and prompt service. and our record as ' a utility business that has been able to maintain customer rates among the lowest in the state." he said.

record of Enoch is th e answer. " Enoc h walked with God." Genesis 22: 24. Walking with God is a vent ure of failh not a business proposit ion where se lfis h motives are realized, bu t putting our complete faith in God.

Intro: Today man is driven by the desire to satisfy self. This is indicated by man's pursuil for self . satisfaction at any cost . Our priority as God's creat ion is to satisfy God at all cost.

Satisfying God is one of the greatest privileges man has, Enoch is revered because he lived to bring to the heart of God joy . We like to think of God as satisfying and caring for us. It is a higher honor to feel that we are

Being a true friend of God is Ihe answer. We put God in our hean s and not our heads . As long as God is in our hearts sealed in depth . we will walk with Him complelely by fai th and God will be salisfied and we will be also.

CORN

Many fields are now tasseling and a few fields are starting to silk. , Root damage by western corn rootworm Ilrvae has been greater this year than in past years. Fields with uneven growth may be due to roo!worm feeding. Com wilting during the heat of the day. even though adequate moisture is available. may be a sign of rootwonn damage. As corn reaches the tassel stage. plants with ' damaged root systems can be easily blown over, As the corn ,plants grow back erect. a curved stalk near the base (called goosenecking) is common· Iy seen.

Western com rootworm adults have been emerging in large numbers. Beetles can be found in most fields whiCh had 'corn planted in that location the previous year. The adults are about V. inch in length and are usually pale yellow with three black stripes down the back. Two subspedes of western com rootworms exist in the area providing a wide range of color patterns . . The beetles can range from an almost completely pale yellow to

< The first comprehensive overhaul of U.S. immigration law in over three decades is on the way. moving under the guise of the Immigration Reform and Control Act (lRCA).

The House version of IRCA. H.R. 1510, known as the Simpson·Mazzoli bill. was pass.l'd in late June by a five-vote m~rgin. A House-Senate conference oommittee, yet to be named, will now meet to iron our differences 'between H.R. 1510 and the earlier'passed Senate version. S. 529.

Crafting a compromise acceptable to both houses, as indicated by the narrow vote on Simpson-MazzoH, will not be easy. But the probability is that the job can be done. and President Reagan appears ready to sign the final document.

Precisely how the ultimate law will read is as yet unknown. But the basics .- "employee sanctions" and amnesty for somewhere between 3 and 9 million illegal aliens now in this country -- are no longer subject to change.

Both bills contain employer sanc· tions. meaning that enactment of the IRCA will. for the first ,lime in history, make it a crime to hire illegal aliens. However. jail sentences. approved by the Senate . were rejected by the House, except where a "paUern or practice" of illegal hiring can be proven. .

Simpson-Mazzoli, following a silt­month grace period after enactment would impose a fine of 51.000 per individual on first-time violators and a $2,000 fine for subsequent offenses. Habitual offenders would face a 51 ,000 fine. six months in jail. or both.

FARM INCOME APPEARS TO BE IMPROVlNG .. Farm income. which has been depressed . appears to be improving somewhat in 1984, says an economist with the Texas Agricultural Extension Se rvice, Texas A&M Uni­versity System. This cautiously opti­mistic view was voi!;;ed after the economist studied the latest informa-

ones which 'are almost solid black. The western corn too!worm beetles

will feed on leaves. tassels, pollen and silks. The leaf feeding will cause the leaf to have a parchment· like appear. ance. Usually the leaf feeding is only on a few plants and does not require treatment for a<lults. Sometimes adults are so numerous that silks are kept chewed back to the end of the ear. which can result in reduced pollination and poorly filled ears . One should be very careful about treating for ad.ll\ts , since spider mites are present in many fields. Since most insecticides destroy mite predators . an outbreak of damaging spider mite populations may result.

A few large southwestern corn borer (SWCB) larvae have been found cutting exit holes in the side of the stalk in preparation for pupation. One pupa was found in the stalk on July 3. We will be running computer predic­tions to indicate SWCB moth emer· gence during the next few weeks.

Under H.R. 1510 employers could protect themselves against penalties by complying with a stringent proce­dure for verifying each worker's legality. Employers would be required, under penalty of perjury. to attest that certain identity and eligibility docu· ments had been examined. Such verification require ments and / or penalties. however, would not apply to employers of three or less workers.

Both bills also would grant amnesty to iIIegals already here .. as of 1982 in the House version and as of 1980 in the Senate bill . Continuous residence and a minimum ability to speak English would be among the amnesty prerequisites.

Agricultural e mployers, according to an official of Lubbock· based Plains Cotton Growers. Inc., scored three major legislative victories as Simpson· Mazzoli fought its way through the House.

"Getting employers of three or fewer workers exempt from penalties was one victory ," says Ed Dean. PeG Fie ld Service Director , "and a provision that requires immigration officers to obtain a search warrant before open field inspeclions. also a requirement in the Senate bill . is another ...

The third victory according to Dean was pa ssage of provisions which. assuming Senate concurre nce, would liberalize the regulations surrounding the importation of temporary workers for the harvest of perishable commodi· ties.

Dean gives most of the credit for th~se accomplishments to the National Council of Agricultural Employers . of which PCG is a charter member.

Extreme drought conditions still persist over much of the state. The recent rise in interest rates will also increase credit proble ms or many producers .

worms have been reported in the Abernathy area and south in pre· blooming colton. One should be very cautious about treating pre·blooming cotton since early destruction of beneficials could mean an extensive and costly spray program later on. If at all possible, a microbial insecticide should be considered so that beneficill insects and spiders can be preserved. A guideline for treatment is when 15 to 25 percent of the green squares are worm damaged and sma"lI worms are present.

F1eahoppers and plant bug nymphs are still present and are .tblasting" squares. Square sets in the fields inspected have been SO% or higher. Once fields begin to bloom. large Heahopper populations can be toler· ated without yield reduction.

Dr. Kenneth Eng, Eng.lnc .• a beef nutritionist from Casa Grande. Ariz .• works over a large part of the United States and worldwide. On an annUli basis, his dients will feed more than one million ~attle.

When asked which grain he pre. ferred. Eng said. "We have no preconceiv.ed bias as to what is the best grain. We strictly look at it from a total diet standpoint and how we can put together the best ration most economicaUy. In the overall industry, this is not always the case . For example. some people like to feed corn because they want to see something yellow in the feed. We don 't think that is significant from a performance standpoint.

"We like grain sorghum because we think the price is attractive more often

While grain is the largest single ingredient of the ration, it must be considered simultaneously with other ingredients. Those ingredients would Include roughages like cotton seed hulls, alfalfa . or silage. plus III the supplemental ingredients that might be needed.

The way grain is processed deter· mines how much feed value can be realized. Ens said, .. Where we can do an excellent job of processing the milo, it may have 97 % of the value of corn." He further stressed that the nutritional level of grain sorghuRl may drop considerably if it is not correctly processcd .

The protein value of grain sorghum is a little higher than that of corn but lower than thot of wheat. Eng continued. " When the cost of supple­mental proteins is high, (or example, if the price of soybean meal is high along with the price of urta. thtn the computer •. which we tend to use a

Dr. Eng said when the rations are balanC!'d properly, there is no differ· ence in the carcass value of beef red on one grain vs. another.

Mabry Foreman. a rancher. farmer , and feedlot owner in Felt. Okla.. is one of Dr. Eng's clients. He feeds only his own cattle in his 5.000 unit feedlot Foreman said. ". raise quite a lot of grain sorghum myself. But then . I al so buy additional grain to feed . The price differential is nearly always such that we fecd sorghum. "

Foreman said when comparing one grain to another with a balanced ration, he finds no difference in the lime required to finish the animal. " Profil is the objective of my feeding ope ration," Foreman concluded . " and for the last several yean. I have found it more profhable to usc grain sorghu m than corn ."

I would get the money from all I could pay more attention to my contributions. pare nt s.

KlNDNESS Felicia Woeds

could make Abernathy a better place to live by being kind. Sometimes I am not a lways kit 'd to people , so I ean starl being kind to everyone. I could meet people wi:h a nice hello or bye . I could share things with . other people. not jus t staying in one group, but being .friendly to everyone.

HOTUNE Bennie Cruz

I could make Abernathv a better lo\tt n by forming ·3 hot line . This h~t line wo uld be fo r anyo ne ""' ith problems or if they just wanted to talk.

I can make Abernathy a better place to live by picking up all the trash lying around. There is trash everywhere yoo look. I could get friends and relatives to help me pick up around town. I could get a group of people and we could have something like a marathon. only we would walk around .own picking up trash. I could get friends to help paint trash cans so that they will s tand out , so that when people go to throw stuff away. they cannot miss the tra sh cans .

UTTERING Max VandYllrUf

y Everywhere I g" I see drink cans

-,and other thins, Iylnl. around. I:v( f1suredout a good wly to ,et rid of it . If I'm on my wly to the store or somewhere and I see trash Iyin, around. I could pick it up and bring it with me to put in the trash. If I kept It up. I could keep Abernathy clean and all it would take is • little of my time. It would also be something to do instead of sitting around the house .

YOUTH GROUPS Shull TUley

Another thing I could do to make Abernathy a better pllce to live is to organize a youth group for the teens . By having a youth group where tecnagers could go to have fun, they wouldn't be out taking drugs and gelling drunk. At the same time educate them in Christ and the Bible. We could do things lilte buil~ing a swimming pool and have all kinds of spon s and games to play ,

PETS FENCED ~GIWII

I could help mate Abern'thy I

better place by keeping my pets fenced or chained. just as long as they do not run loose. This could keep other people from getting hurt and keep my pet from getting shot . run over. or picked up by the dog pound of by strangers. Now, if others wo uld just pick up the signal.

cmCOUNCIL Jeremy Knlsht

The next move I wou ld make (0

improve Abernath y is to sit in at a city council meeting and te ll them some of my ideas and lis ten to theirs and tty to accomplish some of them. The people who sit in al meetings might have some ideas no one has ever thought about before.

BABYSITTING Debra HoUeman

Th. first thin a I can do to mate Abernathy better is babysit tin, for workin," mom •. A ' lot of IflClthers- .bav~_ to work late and need I ,babysitter . I think I could tat.e the responsibility of being a babysitter. I love to be around kids and 'I like to play with kids too. I like to babys it babie s the best. Babysitting isn' t that hard .

Most of a ll I need to love my community to make it a better place. That way I can work with it and il with

She will begirr seeing patients on Monetay .morning. July 16. in one of . the new clinic suites. . l'he construction work at Hi-Plains

includes 2.000 square feet of new space and 1.200 feet of remodeled area. This includes three private offices 1'.1r doctors. eleven treatment rooms. a nurses' s tation. eight baths and a largd lobby.

Dr. Thomas Tran is moving his office suites to occupy the northeast portion of the new addition. while Dr. Kyeton's s uit .~ of offices will be located on the sl'utheast portion of the new addition. . Whenever poss ible, local employees were used in th e construction. Carpenters on the JOD were Willie Lucero: Louis Lucero. Herman Cozart. Perry Vick . Ronnie Cozart and working with th e m was Be rry Borchardt. Building materi als were purchased from Higginbotham Bartle tt alld West Builde rs Supply.

The desig n of the building allows for four doctors to use the same nurses' station. which will result in a savings of inventory stocking and add to the productivity of each nurse.

Dr. Hu g h Wil son' s office was opened up to the new area and a llows him to use the new lobby area. Each doctor has a private office consultation room and three treatment rooms each. Also . there will be a room for pulmonary function s and another for minor procedures.

The hea ting-air conditioning is zoned and individua lly controlled within each suite and was installed by

Johnny Chilton. New chain were purchued for the

patient room.. If well a. new color T.V. seti. The most notlceable" new item is the nooring in the lobby and throughout the hallway. The new vinyl marbleized nooring is easiiy cleaned and adds greatly to the facility:

The laboratory was enlarged and remodeled. The new space and design ' has greatly added to the efficiency of the lab. Durjng the open house. the laboratory technologists. ~lIen White and Sherrill Rigsby . will be demon­strating a new chemical analyzer that is being used on a trial basis. The analyzer is in the high . tech area of medical equipment and will assist the facility in better serving the patients.

Ted Hill and David Finke will be demonstrating and explaining a new computer in the pharmacy. The new computer allows for the electronic filing of prescriptions. updating infor­mation at the. time of refill. The system keeps an active running inventory as it also checks for drug interaction and creates a patie nt profile that is useful in filing Major Medical Insurance. Medicare claims and for individual tax purposes.

To commemorate the 13 years of operation of the nursing home. those attending Ih e ope n hou se will be in vited to find the ir way back to the dinin g roo m. w here the di e ta ry department. under the direction of the ncw dietilian . Mrs . Marka Dempsey. will serve refreshments .

Visitors may stop by the business office to see the new vertical fil es that have been installed and observe a brief demonstration of the computer link-up now in operation.

OUR TIMING WAS BAD

Austin - Timing is everything in politics and the same is true for politicians passing legislation.

Had the present school reform activities of the Special Sess ion been brought up in the Regular Legislative Session. those representing the rural areas of the State would have had more voice. We could have insisted that many of the elements that were included and are to be a burden on the smaller school district would not have happened.

In a special session. it takes only a simple majority to pass legislation. In a regular session. it takes a vote of two-thirds of Ihe Senate.

The bare fact is. there is not enough representation from the rural areas to hold our own with the metropolitan areas of Texas.

And as a result. the school districts with a smaller number of children. with large areas to cover and with a number of disadvantaged students will have to lig hten their belts even tighter bccau se of Ihe ac ti ons of the Legislature.

We can look for property taxes to in crease as o ur sc hool d is tri cts assemble a financial package to pay for the ncw programs mandated hy the Legislalure. The only place the school dislricts have 10 go for funding is to Iheir taxing base . To mee l State standa rds they are going to have to implemenl and increase a numbe r of programs. Thcre will be a need for more facilities. more leachers a nd an increased transportation sys lem.

And. the leachers whom we went 10 Aust in 10 help . will gel a token raise from the Slale and it will be Ihe loca l dislricls who wi ll have to make up the ex tra dollars Ihey wcre promised by Ihe Legislat ure.
