A fragmented passage discusses liquor advertising, parental rights, and government use of liquor taxes. It notes liberal and conservative attention and questions the impact of a Seagram advertising campaign on policy discussions. The text hints at subsidies for tobacco farmers and broader regulatory issues without specifying outcomes.
Elaine Kolodziej argues that the half century ban on hard liquor advertising on television may become federal. She criticizes government overreach and urges personal responsibility, warning that incremental restrictions threaten freedoms and that reform is needed before 1996.
The writer laments lack of drought action by local leaders beyond burning bans and hot talk on fire safety. Floresville considers a water-management plan, citing a 30 percent rise in May water use. The piece urges residents to conserve, noting Carrizo aquifer limits and urging odd even watering rules. The message ends with personal reflections on Father’s Day and family.
Mrs. Clarence D. Popham of Floresville recounts the evening she found a skunk trapped in a “safe trap” near her home. She asked the game warden for help but was told to shoot it, leaving her to improvise with a plastic shield and water to neutralize the animal.
