Water Conservation District is ask
ing for $374,000 for 29 erosion con
trol structures in southwest Wash
ington County. The Brazos-
Robertson Soil and Water Conser
vation District is asking for $204,000
to go along with $51,000 of local
funds.
The BVDC turned down a propo
sal to establish a drug and alcohol
abuse program in Madison County.
According to Debbie Calloway of
the BVDC, the program would du
plicate existing services offered by
the BVDC’s Mental Health and
Mental Retardation Center. She
said the proposal also arrived too
late to be considered for funding at
this time.
The BVDC also passed three res
olutions affecting the Community
Employment and Training Act
(CETA) programs in the region.
Two of the resolutions concerned
CETA planning funds for the next
year totaling approximately
$130,000. CETA funds are used to
train the unemployment for
entrance into the job market.
The third resolution dealt with
continuation and extension of the
Guidance Information System in
area schools.
The Guidance Information Sys
tem is a computer-based system
which is intended to supplement
existing career counseling services
in high schools. The BVDC con
tracted for the service through the
Region IV Educational Service Cen
ter in Houston. The service is pres
ently available in Heame and Bryan
high schools. The Manpower Advi
sory Committee of the BVDC rec
ommended that the system be ex
tended to A&M Consolidated,
Brenham and Navasota school dis
tricts at a combined cost of $25,000
for the coming year.

The committee also recom
mended that funding be continued
for the Juvenile Diversion Unit in
College Station. The diversion pro
gram calls for funds to pay the salary
of a full-time police officer to work
with school officials to divert prob
lem juveniles from the formal
juvenile justice system.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — A consulting firm says about halfJ
money spent in the United States last year on oil and gas exploratio
was invested by independent producers. ,
Nearly 5 000 independent producers invested $3.75 billion in 19:
— an amount equivalent to that invested by the 20 major gas andol
producers, Arthur D. Little Inc. said Wednesday.
The report said exploratory activity by the independent produce
centered onshore in the 48 contiguous states, but some firms hj
begun looking for gas and oil offshore, in (.anada and in oversel
nations.
Independent firms are expected to continue to increase their pa,i
ticipation in oil and gas exploration over the next few years, tl t |
report said.
The number of wells drilled in the United States is expected I,
increase by 6 to 8 percent annually, and drilling costs are expectedtj
rise by as much as 12 percent, according to the study. ;
The report added those figures indicate independent firms haul
developed more sophisticated exploratory techniques and are i
choosing lower risk sites for drilling.
However, exploratory drilling has resulted in the establishmentd
only 29 percent of new oil and gas fields and reserves, the reports
More than half the reserves added in 1977 were in Texas, Louisa
and California, the report said.

United Press International
HOUSTON — Television re
porter Marvin Zindler Thursday
said he would take to the Supreme
Court his fight to silence an Ameri
can Nazi Party telephone recording
offering bounties for “non-whites”
killed in the act of attacking whites.
Zindler said Wednesday’s refusal
by the Texas Supreme Court to re
consider its July 12 decision was ex
pected and no more than a formality
clearing the way for him to take the
battle to the nation’s highest court.
“In my gut feeling, the Supreme
Court will not allow any group or
individual to threaten to take lives of
any ethnic group. This has nothing
to do with freedom of speech.
“The Texas Supreme Court says 1
can’t be injured by it. But if I can’t
be injured by it, or a black, who can
file?” standing to file a lawsuit over
the recorded message.
Houston Nazis offered a $5,000
bounty “for every non-white carcass
killed while attacking a white
son.”
Zindler said he was of Jewish
cent, making him "non-white
the Nazi definition. He contei
that as a public figure, he
cially endangered by
ordings.
The Texas Supreme Court upl® manne
a Houston Court of Civil
decision that Zindler had faiIi':B anot ier
show a special injury peculiar
himself.

ST. LOUIS — Classic literature
need not he boring.
Dragons and monsters, battles
and heroes charm children as well as
adults, but too often, obstacles such
as Middle English and Greek have
masked the delight brought for cen
turies by such adventures as
Beowulf and the Iliad.
Emily Thach is trying to change
all that by reviving the art of
storytelling to make tall tales availa
ble to small children everywhere.
Thach directs a storytelling
project at CEMREL, an educational
CINEMA I&||
laboratory helping to spread the
classic oral tradition in kindergarten
through sixth grade.
The stories give students heroes
to look up to and the feeling that
words written on a page are not so
different from words spoken for the
ear. If an appreciation for classic lit
erature sneaks in too, she said,
that’s great.
“All of school can seem like such a
waste to some kids,” Ms. Thach
said. All the literature they’re
forced to read can be so dead. It’s a
great waste, because the stories are
really interesting.
