The Cameron Herald reports on local history from Milam County with notes on early settlement, prominent families, and enduring community institutions. District records and town milestones are sketched to mark the region’s development since settlement.
Urban Realities argues Cameron should approve a one cent local sales tax on December 19 to fund growth and sustain services. Citing examples from Waco Temple and Austin, supporters say 116 of 134 cities have approved such taxes, boosting local water, roads, and facilities for all residents.
The Christian Science Monitor argues the jawbone approach to curb inflation has failed as steel price hikes and auto wage settlements fan prices. It notes Kennedy era penalties and Johnson proposals, with Congress and the White House trimming spending while tax hikes stall. Productivity growth may absorb wage boosts, but risk remains.
Texas land commissioner says 30 million dollars in bonds will be sold December 18 with delivery around January 25 to fund state veterans land purchases. Voters approved a constitutional amendment for 200 million more in bonds and inclusion of Vietnam era veterans. Since 1946 veterans have bought 3 million acres for 242 million spent. qualified veterans may borrow up to 10 thousand with 15 acre minimum, 4.5 percent max interest, 40 year repayment, five percent down, and about 150 dollars in closing fees.
A reader lampoons political evasions and the phrase crossing that bridge when you come to it. He notes recent Texan political staff changes and a holiday traffic safety push with DPS predicting 55 deaths over Christmas and 45 over New Year as patrols gear up with state agencies coordinating safety efforts.
Machinist Mate First Class Bonnie L Cole of Cameron and Seaman Recruit Richard D Jones of Buckholts served aboard the USS Procyon during Blue Lotus, the largest U.S. First Fleet Exercise in years.

Jones graduated after nine weeks of Navy basic training at the Naval Training Center.
