County reappoints Buck as health officer
By STEVE GRAY
Staff Writer
The Brazos County Commission
ers Court, in its last meeting of the
year Monday morning, reappointed
Dr. Raymond Buck as county health
officer and also voiced its support for
enactment of legislation that would
increase the efficiency of adult pro
bation services statewide.
The court renewed the term of
Buck, who has been with the county
for about three years, for another
two years. The commissioners must
either appoint a new health officer
or renew the term of the existing
one every two years, according to
County Judge William R. Vance.
Commissioners approved a re
quest by John Godfrey, chief county
probation officer, for the court’s
support of a bill that would provide
long-term financial aid to counties
and judicial districts for probation
services.
Godfrey, a member of a statewide
task force of chief adult probation
officers, said the bill, now in draft
form, would retain probation within
the control of the judiciary at the
state funding level and at the local
district level. The proposed bill
states that no county would have to
accept state aid. It would also at
tempt to insure high standards for
probation officers through estab-

lishment of a nine-member com
mission to coordinate statewide
probation services.
The court also adopted a resolu
tion from the Texas Highway De
partment allowing Brazos and
Robertson Counties to assume
maintenance responsibility for the
old route of Old State Road (OSR).
Vance said the court will also ask the
Texas Highway Department to re
linquish right-of-way of OSR to the
county.
No action was taken on a proposal
to improve a one-mile stretch of
Mumford Road. Improvement of
the road, which provides access to
Bryan’s power plant site, would cost
about $115,000 as estimated by the
city of Bryan. Precinct 3 Commis
sioner Randy Sims said he will go
back to Bryan city officials to try to
work out something between the
city and the county on improving
the road at less expense.
A maintenance contract with
Honeywell Corporation covering
heating and air conditioning con
trols in the county courthouse was
approved by the court. The contract
for 1975 will be $1,692, up $360
from this year.
The commissioners also approved
payment for five mobile radios to be

• Approved payment of a prop

icle.
• Approved payment of $86.89
for foster care.
• Approved payment of $2,172

balance of a $1,415 bill that was sent
to the county by the city after a
box-car fire on Nov. 1. The county
will later bill the railroad which has
agreed to pay part of the costs. The
county paid $800 of the bill last
month.

message from Rev. Roland Brigman of Houston are planned. Rev. Brigman

GI checks due soon
Retroactive benefit checks to A&M veterans on the expanded GI Bill
program should arrive at the veteran’s home address by Jan. 1, VA officials
said Monday.
The back pay, ranging from $200-300 depending on the situation,
should be completely delivered by New Year’s, according to the TAMU
liaison “vet reps.”
VA head Richard Roudebush said despite the heavy volume of Christ
mas mail, he is hopeful that the 1.2 million checks, totalling more than $300
million, can be delivered before Christmas.
The last of the benefits from the nearly 23 percent increase should have
arrived by the Jan. 1 date, noted TAMU vet rep Henry Vander Cruyssen.
Roudebush estimated that checks will be sent out starting Dec. 15.
Some pay will take longer because of special processing due to veterans
who dropped out or completed training during the retroactive period from
Sept. 1 on.
