Public relations and public serv
ice were stressed by two featured
speakers at a general session of
the 47th Texas Water and Sew
age Works Association’s Short
j School Wednesday at A&M Uni
versity.
Robert S. Shaw, vice president
of the Water Pollution Control
Federation, Princeton, N.J., and
Samuel S. Baxter, vice president
of the American Water Works
Association, Philadelphia, spoke
to an estimated 600 men, extoll
ing the virtues of their organiza
tions and at the same time call
ing for further emphasis on pub
lic relations and service.
“You know you’re good, but
it’s about time somebody else
knew about you, because you
need the support of the public,
the press and the mayor of your
city,” Shaw commented.
“People are yapping their
heads off about polluted streams.
You have to let them know you
are doing something about them.
Groups who operate in a barrel
are not going to get far,” he con
tinued.
Shaw said New York and Cali
fornia are scrambling for first
place in the membership race of
WCPF with approximately 800
members each.
“Texas ought to be first. You
have a live wire group and are
going somewhere. I expect you
to have 500 members by next
year,” he added. Texas has 400
members now.
Baxter challenged his audi
ence to improve the water indus
try to a point of public recogni
tion comparable to telephone and
electric companies.
“You never hear those people
urging the public to use less of
their product. Telephone compa
nies are always urging you to
•call your grandmother in Cali
fornia or add a phone in the
kitchen or laundry room. And
the electric companies are for
ever urging use of bright lights
and appliances,” he said.
“In many cases we in the water
industry tell people they can’t
wash their cars in the summer,
or they can’t water their lawn.
A couple of years ago in New
York City the restaurants didn’t
serve water with meals unless
customers specifically requested
ii,” Baxter recalled.
“We need to build facilities so
the people can use all the water
they want at any time. This in
cludes storage capacities, reser
voirs, pump stations, filter ca
pacities, distribution mains, etc.,”
he continue, adding “Service is j
the thing that appeals to custom
ers . . . when a customer calls
and says the water pipe into his
house has broken at 3 a.m. Sun
day morning we ought to be right
there right away to turn his wa
ter off.”
Baxter said the public must be
made to realize the necessity for
appropriating funds to make
these improvements in water fa
cilities. He urged joint action by
many towns to make the whole
industry advance in this respect.
John J. Vandertulip, chief en
gineer for the Texas Water Com
mission, Austin, also was a
speaker on the morning pro
gram.
Technical sessions were sched
uled during the afternoon and
the annual banquet was at 7 p.m.
in the Memorial Student Center
Ballroom. Presentation of the
“1964 Honor Roll” by Dr. J. E.
Peavy, commissioner of Health
for the Texas State Department
of Health, Austin, was a high
light of the evening.
Speaker for the banquet was
Bob Murphey, an attorney-hum
orist from Nacogdoches.
The meeting will continue
through Friday.
New officers of the Texas Wa
ter Pollution Control Association
for 1965 were announced at a
business dinner Tuesday night.
They include Harry O. Henkel of
DuPont Corp., Victoria, presi- '
dent; Jack E. Huppert, president
of Consolidated Products, San An
tonio, vice president, and M. T.
Garrett, City of Houston, presi
dent-elect.
S. A. Garza is the immediate
past president.
The TWPCA is one of the co
operating agencies of the short
school.
Prof Authored
Article Carried
By Magazine
An article by Dr. Stanley B.
Botner of the government faculty
appears in the March-April issue
of “Business and Government Re
view” published by the Business
and Public Administration Re
search Center at the University
of Missouri.
The article entitled “Guberna
torial Succession — Question in
Several States” is concerned es
pecially with Missouri’s guberna
torial restrictions. Missouri and
14 other states forbid the governor
nstructo to succeed himself after a four-
year term.
Botner received all three de
grees from the Univeristy of Mis
souri. He joined the Department
of History and Government in
1963.
In the article Botner describes
Missouri’s restriction preventing a
governor from succeeding himself
as conflicting “with one of the
most basic tenets of democratic
theory.” The conflict is seen as
stemming from the “lack of faith
in the ability of the people of Mis
souri to pass intelligently on the
question of whether to retain a
governor who has had an oppor
tunity to make a record on which
he can be appraised.”
The professor reviews the vari
ous trends in gubernatorial suc
cession since the nation was found
ed and concludes that “the argu
ments in support (of a governor
being permitted to succeed him
self) seem to outweigh heavily
those offered in opposition.”

Odessa Takes
Water, Sewage
Loving Cups
Odessa captured top honors in
both water and sewage plant cate
gories and received loving cups
from the Texas State Department
of Health here Wednesday night.
Dr. J. E. Peaby, state commis
sioner of health, presented awards
as a highlight of the Texas Water
and Sewage Works Association
banquet at the University’s Me
morial Student Center.
Odessa was first cited for hav
ing “the most attractive and effi
cient” water treatment plant of
any Texas city in the 40,000 to
150,000 population class. The sec
ond award read the same for its
sewage plant.
W. M. Breneman, superintend
ent of the Odessa Water Depart
ment, accepted engraved loving
cups for the City of Odessa.

their population class were: Sew
