Deer Park Chamber of Commerce enters 1975 with new officers and aims to expand goals from the prior year. The group, now 128 members, has operated from 1604 Center St for three years and seeks to boost city growth, attract businesses, and serve as Deer Park’s voice to newcomers and residents alike.
A trio of readers address discrimination and the Equal Rights Amendment. One writer, Alicia Chappell, laments limits on girls pursuing careers like astronaut or band director. Others defend or critique ERA, citing church positions, Texas law, and fears about drafting women.
Wanda Schultz argues against the Equal Rights Amendment, claiming it risks women’s privacy, military draft obligations, and state rights. She cites legal protections and church opinions, defending traditional gender roles and urging readers to oppose Texas ratification, calling ERA a loss of rights for women.
In times past a 1974 entry notes Hub Carroll receiving a Distinguished Service Award. Other items mention the Deer Park plant amendment in 1973, Town Plaza expansion to begin, Otis Smith and Gary Gibson chairing a conference on science and mathematics teaching, and the 1972 city election slated. Also listed are football letters for Baylor scholarships, drainage work on Center St, All-State Band members Patti French and Sandy Wiley, Hospital Board head Rudy Wallace, a Girl Scouts parade, Joanna Cathey named Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow, a new Deer Park Church of Christ auditorium, and 1969 notes on Earl Kahla becoming assistant principal.
