Miss Landers, yesterday, told the American Embassy Associa tion about her frustrating experi ence in a London shoe store. “I was told I couldn’t be served because they were closing in two minutes,” she said. “I had to beg them to wait on me and take my money—and this was for $65 shoes. They just couldn’t wait for me to get the hell out of there.

Uncle Sam’s money too costly for Bayview Associated Press BAYVIEW — This small com munity of Bayview in the Rio Grande Valley says it doesn’t be lieve or participate in Uncle Sam’s federal revenue sharing program. “Philosophically, we re opposed to the revenue sharing concept,” said Phillip Loveless, Bayview’s mayor. “And we practice what we preach “Our town’s pretty conservative. Most of the 300 to 400 residents are retired or semi-retired. We don’t need the money and we don’t want it.” When checks began arriving at city hall from the U.S. Treasury, Loveless said he mailed them back to Washington. “The checks are so small. I be lieve one was for $185,” he said. “It each s s of ai nd logi m premie ;ical emi! ■ffectivelr "t bison lorstatiS- Does lie aments ii d mannei, and cos ellri' ■ the anal; al fallacn pponeat: low per iker cor Does le andeie ;e of con- DRl US RANK Hill more; [TS rOU ears ans MANOR EAST 3 THEATRES MANOR EAST MALL ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ • • • • ‘ ‘ STARTS TOMORROW Marty Smith Brad Lackey 1 Jim Weinert Tony DiStefano h COURSES THE CZECHOSLOVAKIAN LANGUAGE SELF DEFENSE FOR MEN AND WOMEN FRISBEE TECHNIQUES AND PRINCIPLES ANANDA MARGA MEDITATION BELLYDANCING BEGINNING TAP DANCING RELAXATION TRAINING TECHNIQUES JOGGING BASS FISHING WINETASTING FIRST AID CARE AND CULTIVATION OF HOUSE PLANTS PRECISION BRIDGE DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER FAMILY RELATIONS HUMAN SEXUALITY THE REVELATION GUITAR SLIMNASTICS SOCIAL AND RECREATIONAL DANCING BEGINNER’S PHOTOGRAPHY EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS LIBRARY TECHNIQUES THE ART OF ANCIENT EGYPT FOLK DANCING HOW TO TRACE YOUR FAMILY TREE DISCO DANCE CHESS SCIENCE FICTION WRITER’S CONFERENCE Fossils to be studied By Brenda Grissom Camels and mastodons in Brazos County? These unlikely specimens once roamed the bottomlands freely, and many still be studied at the Brazos Valley Museum of Natural Science, 204 W. Villa Maria. “We have fossils of camels, bison and a mastodon, all from Brazos County,” said Fred Paine, director of the museum. Exhibits of Indian artifacts, early Texas fencing wire, dinosaur tracks and animal specimens provide a sur prising insight into the history of Brazos County. Also, whale vertebrae from the banks of the Brazos River and elephant fossils found in Brazos County are exhibited. Birds of Bryan are featured as part of more than 900 bird specimens in the museum. In addition to exhibits, the museum offers classes dealing with natural science, gives lectures, and acts as a laboratory for museum courses at Texas A&M University. “This was organized primarily as an educational institution for kids ages eight to twelve,” said Paine. “We re trying to change the em phasis to include younger kids and adults.” Those wanting more information concerning museum classes or ac tivities are asked to call 822-5511. 315 UNIVERSITY (NORTHGATE) 846-5515 would cost us more than that just for a bookkeeper to keep up with the checks.” Bayview is located about 16 miles east of South Padre Island. The town consists of a general store and some paved streets that cross sev eral wide rasacas, canal-like bodies of water that are common to this area of Texas. “The key to our situation is that the people don’t demand any ex pensive services,” said the mayor, a retired Air Force colonel, “Every family has their own septic tank for sewage. We get water from the re- sacas. We don’t have any city prop erty taxes. We levy a two per cent sales tax on the phone and electric ity bills to pay for street signs and such. The city isn’t in debt. We’ve got money in the bank.” The city of Los Fresnos, about seven miles down the road, pro vides Bayview with fire and police protection. “We contribute to the Los Fres nos fire department,” said Loveless. “We don’t have a crime problem at all.
