Jim's Gems notes Hudspeth Beach drew a huge turnout Saturday afternoon with campers turned away for lack of space. The essay urges strict lake construction rules, Chamber of Commerce leadership, and warns against overemphasis on winning in Little League. It also pokes fun at local figures and topical humor about space funding and the Alamo in a light, opinionated column.

School Reorganization Plans Lag in Legislature
The Governor’s Committee report spurred expectations of wide reform in public school organization and finance, yet the Sixty first Legislature enacted little. A notable bill changes how students transfer between districts, shifting details from county to district level while county offices no longer handle disputes as before.
