Word from Austin highlights 1968 69 budget and dairy act
State Senator J P Word outlines a 4.7 billion biennial appropriations bill for 1968 69, noting a 30 percent increase from the prior session and salary raises of 18 to 30 percent for classified staff. The Texas Dairy Industry Stabilization Act would create a Texas Dairy Commission to set milk prices, a measure Word opposes as price fixing. Miss Judi Lackey of Itasca will represent Texas at the International Beauty Congress pageant in Long Beach, California, after being introduced by Word. Governor Connally grants her Ambassador of Good Will status. The piece ends with a remark on cheerfulness.
