Vance says county
won’t get CD funds
The county’s hope to receive
funds authorized under the Hous
ing and Community Development
Act of 1974 has been squashed, at
least for the present.
County Judge Bill Vance was told
by the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) last
week there will be no funds availa
ble for Community Development
Discretionary Block Grants within
Standard Metropolitan Statistical
Area (SMSAs), which Brazos
County had applied for.
HUD explained that more areas
than expected qualified for the basic
grants authorized under the act and
no funds currently remain for dis
cretionary grants.
Vance said the county was hoping
to receive $17,000 this year and up
to $300,000 to $400,000 over the
next seven years from community
development funds.
HUD’s announcement will not af
fect the applications submitted by
the cities of College Station and
Bryan for money under a different
section of the act.
At a meeting of the local Chamber
of Commerce this year Vance said
he hoped the county might use
community development funds to
help build the Brazos County Park.

U nderneath the butter is a wood
and wire mesh frame. He also has
two black-eyed peas for eyes.
Old Sarge was created by Anita
Davidson, manager of food services
in the Memorial Student Center.
Sarge was not her first attempt at
butter sculpture. Davidson made
her first sculpture for a banquet
held in the student center.
“About a year ago I was going to
do a paper mache pig as a center-
piece for the Pork Producers’ ban
quet. And our assistant director
thought that would be great but, he
said, on all beautiful buffet tables
was a butter sculpture and an ice
sculpture. So I decided to try it,”
she said.
The, result was a 22-pound, solid
butter pig.
Davidson began the pig with a
one pound block of butter. She
added more butter to the block and
shaped it with her hands, although
her hands are not the only utensils
she uses.
“I don’t have any sculpture tools.
I use such things as popsicle sticks,
scewers, letter openers, knives and
anything I think will do what I want
it to do,” she said.
Some of the figures she has
shaped are a family of pigs ranging
from four to 28 pounds, a white
horned toad of uncolored mar
garine, and a set of bears which she
made for a gathering of the Parks
and Recreation department.
Among her other accomplish
ments are a fruit tree of popular
fruits and a Pillsbury dough-boy
type figure of shortening.
Davidson said, “The shortening
boy was harder to do than using but
ter. I had to sit in the refrigerator to
do him. It was pretty cold.”
She plans to use Old Sarge at the
president’s pre-football game ban
quets which are given for officials of
visiting schools. In the meantime,
the sculptures must be stored in the
student center’s freezer.
AGGIE CINEMA
PRESENTS
A ‘CLASSIC’ SERIES FILM
GRAPES OF WRATH
Si*
mm
Pushed off their ancestral tenant farm by the Dust Bowl and mechanized
agriculture in the early thirties, the Joad family leaves Oklahoma to work in
California. They discover they are unwanted because of other thousands like
them, willing to work for starvation wages. When laborers band together to
demand fair treatment, they are run out of town. With an epic majesty that
never falters, the film depicts poverty, injustice, despair, disillusionment, and
hardship in a manner that makes this film a classic of our time.
