Caldwell hospital plan gets OK
By ROY BRAGG
Battalion Reporter
The Brazos Valley Development
louncil Executive Committee
ursday gave a favorable review to
proposal for a new 33,000-square-
t hospital addition in Caldwell.
The hospital, still in the planning
ages, will cost $2 million and will
rovide for the majority of the med
al needs for the residents of
laldwell, said Glenn Williams, ad-
instrator of T. L. Goodnight Hos-
n'tal in Caldwell.
Williams said that after a loan for
e addition was requested from the
ederal Housing Administration,
lie review by the BVDC was neces-
ary before the hospital coidd apply
a the Health Services Adminis-
ration and the Health Facilities
dministration for permission to
uild the addition.
In other action, the committee
Iso applied for a $30,000 grant from
ae Governor’s Office of Budget and
fanning to go along with $15,000 in
>cal funds to supply the BVDC
'ith matching funds for the next
Federal and state grants for or
ganizations in the seven-county area
served by the BVDC are matched
with local funds. These were con
tributed by Robertson, Leon, Madi
son, Brazos, Burleson, Washington
and Grimes counties.
The committee also decided to
turn over the titles of $109,000
worth of teletype and radio equip
ment to law enforcement agencies
currently using the machines.
The teletype machines are cur
rently used by police in Bryan, Col
lege Station, Navasota and Hearne,
as well as sheriffs offices in Burle
son, Leon, Madison and Washing
ton counties. The radio equipment
is being used by police in Bryan,
College Station and Caldwell, and
sheriffs offices in Brazos, Grimes,
Burleson and Robertson counties.
In other action, the committee
reviewed a Brazos Valley Commu
nity Action Agency request for a
$225,000 HEW grant for use in
Headstart programs.
The Headstart program is for
pre-school students who come from
underprivileged families. It is a
classroom-type curriculum which
exposes the children to educational
and recreational programs.
Debbie Callaway, regional drug
abuse and alcoholism coordinator
for the BVDC, said the funds would
be used for approximately 150 chil
dren in the program.
The committee also voted to ac
cept a $3,000 grant from the Gover
nor’s Committee on Aging (GCOA)
to be used for the BVDC’s Area
Agency on Aging (AAOA). The
funds are to be used for training staff
workers and volunteers to work with
elderly persons in the program.
The executive committee also de
cided to ask the GCOA if leftover
funds from previous years’ AAOA
programs can be diverted to help
fund transportation for the elderly
State races please
top ERA supporters
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Women’s
ights supporters are looking be-
ond losses on two state “test” re-
srendums to improved chances for
!RA ratification in Oklahoma and
’lorida, as a result of some shakeups
n state legislative races.
Phyllis Schlafly, leader of the
top ERA group, said overwhelm-
ng rejection of two women’s rights
eferendums in Florida and Nevada
uesday “demonstrated clearly that
he American people reject the
!qual Rights Amendment.”
She said Stop ERA expects a net
ain of votes in Illinois, Nevada,
forth Carolina and other “critical
tales.”
But pro-ERA groups disagreed.
RA supporters said they lost a
ouple of seats in Arizona in a GOP
iweep of the state, called it “basi-
:ally unchanged” in Illinois, and
aid a conservative swing in Nevada
mall issues — including defeat of a
ion-binding state referendum on
whether the legislature should ap-
irove the ERA — left the ERA
illy” in those areas.
But pro-ERA groups were
ileased with Oklahoma and Flori-
Ja.Florida rejected a proposal to
amend the state constitution to out-
aw sex discrimination, but ERA
Packers blamed that vote on a public
that wanted to vote “no” — and did
- on eight other proposed
hanges to the state constitution.
Nevertheless, Kathleen Curry of
ERAmerica and Ellen Malcolm of
the National Women’s Political
Caucus said ERA forces scored a
major victory in Florida when Pat
Frank, a Democrat from Tampa,
beat anti-ERA Republican David
Ray for a Florida senate seat.
Schlafly had campaigned for Ray
in what was a nearly single-issue
race.
