Sausage business expands
Farm is children’s delight
United Press International
RICHARDSON, Texas —.Across
the pasture from the modern plant
where the C.R. Owens family pack
ages the sausage that has filled the
breakfast needs of hungry Texans for
50 years exists as unlikely a collec
tion of miscellanea as is gathered
anywhere in the Southwest.
It’s not a zoo, although, in a way,
it is. And the animals could never
really be considered castoffs be
cause of their value.

mule, eight matched giant Belgian
horses, a herd of ponies and a llama.
Not confined at all are more dalma-
tions with more spots per acre than
anywhere else in Texas.
Owens’ 60-acre Spring Creek
Farm, where the gate is always
open, is a children’s delight, given
the tendencies of the mule to jump,
the horses to nuzzle and the llama to
nibble at outstretched hands.
With thousands of school children
romping across the farm annually to
become acquainted with the ani
mals, the Owens family this fall
added a four-room, turn-of-the-
century museum designed to evoke
nostalgia among adult visitors.
Because “some things are just
worth doing and some things are
just worth preserving,” Jerry
Owens, 45, president of the com
pany his father founded, maintains
free admission.
And, at age 75, C.B. Owens still
walks among guests to explain how
he acquired the brass calliope or any
of several wood and leather-padded
carriages. And he revels at recalling
how his hogs made it all possible.
“You get hungry and you have to
start something to make a little extra
money,” he said. “In ’28 times were
pretty hard. You looked for anything
to make a little extra money.
“I was farming. I’d made two
crops (1926-27). This was just some
thing on the side. You could buy a
big hog in McKinney for $5 on
trades day. Then I sold the sausage
for 17 cents a pound and had money
in my pocket.”
Today Owens distributes sausage
and chili in seven states and em
ploys 400 persons.

A recommendation for an alter
nate ticket allocation system for the

Under the bill’s provisions, a stu
dent wanting to attend the Nov. 18
game will go to the ticket window at
G. Rollie White Coliseum on Tues
day, Nov. 7. The student will, upon
presenting his identification card
and ticket book, receive a token in
dicating whether he will be single or
with a date.
The registration process will end
at 4 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 9. At 5
p.m., all registrants will meet in
front of the coliseum for the drawing
of tokens and issuing of tickets. If a
student takes a date, both must be
present to receive tickets. There
In reporting the bill, Kevin Pat
terson, vice president for student
services, attempted to dispel
rumors that the Athletic Council
looked on the recommendations
with disfavor.
“The Athletic Council will proba
bly follow precendent and follow the
wishes of the student senate in this
matter,” Patterson said.
The senate also adopted a mea
sure to eo-sponsor a survey with the
Residence Hall Association to de
termine the opinions of donnitory
residents about maximum visitation
hours.
The survey will be passed out to
random dormitory residents by the
RHA, according to senator Paul Bet
tencourt, the bill’s sponsor. The re
sults will be tabulated by a joint stu-
