Clean Up Time For Businesses In Lubbock
Business leaders are urged to begin removing clutter from storefronts ahead of new sign rules set to take effect. The plan encourages voluntary compliance, with the Chamber of Commerce asked to lead by example. Announced guidelines allow until 1982 to bring oversized and misplaced signs into compliance, while hazardous or faded signs should be removed within three months, and other violations within six months. Initiating enforcement early is recommended to boost the city's business climate.

Stevenson Left A Solid Record In Texas Politics
Stevenson, governor 1941 to 1947, built a fiscal turnaround from a 34 million deficit to a 35 million surplus and modernized state government with a cash basis, driver license law and state auditor. He later lost the 1948 Senate race to Lyndon B. Johnson after a controversial Box 13 vote in Jim Wells County. He died at 87 and is buried in Kimble County where a historical marker notes his three highest offices.

Park land grab expands Lyndon B. Johnson State Park
Land acquisition raises Lyndon B. Johnson State Park from 269 to 717.8 acres at a cost over $1 million. Texas Parks and Wildlife planned to spend $500,000 with a 3 cent cigarette tax dedicated to park land. Critics say the price is excessive and demand a real state park for the Lubbock area.

Soweto Today A Piece On South Africa’s Black City
A Washington Post style field report describes Soweto as a vast black housing belt near Johannesburg. It notes mixed conditions from crowded rows of modest homes to neat yards, an Urban Bantu Council governance, and local services. Residents appear well fed and engaged, with schooling in tribal languages and English or Afrikaans as second languages, while calls for gradual peaceful change persist.

Pass It On COWS
When a dairyman budgets to build a new barn he must consider the likelihood that his herd will drop milk output as they are moved to unfamiliar surroundings. Cows often produce milk when a stranger milks them, so short staff can cause trouble for the operation.
