Media may cause shortage
of fuel, Clements charges
United Press International
AUSTIN — Gov. Bill Cle
ments said Monday he does not
believe there will be another
gasoline shortage this fall if the
news media will quit talking
about the prospect.
“We have no reason to believe
we re going to have a gasoline
shortage in Texas,” Clements
told an impromptu news confer
ence.
Clements said he has given no
consideration to re-imposing
odd-even day purchase restric
tions or a $6 minimum purchase
requirement.
“If you just keep talking about
it I’m sure everybody will start
topping off their tanks again,” he
complained to reporters.
Clements also said he is not
prepared to propose any further
increase in the Texas ceiling on
home mortgage interest — even
though the legal limit is less than
the current prime rate na
tionally.
“I as governor and I as an indi
vidual am strongly of the opinion
that these high interest rates are
not in the best interest of our
state or our nation,” Clements
said. “I know that these high
interest rates that we now are
faced with are causing enormous
problems.”
Clements said he believes in
flation can be countered more ef
fectively by changing margin re
quirements tor stock purchases
or the amount of downpayment
required on home mortgages.
Nuclear plant hearings start
United Press Internationa]
HOUSTON — A three-member federal board Monday began the
latest in a series of public hearings on Houston Lighting and Power
Co.’s proposed nuclear electric generating plant at Allen’s Creek 25
miles west of Houston.
The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board of the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission will decide after the hearing which opponents and sup
porters of the facility can present arguments at a construction-license
hearing.
Some 60 persons or groups have petitioned for intervenor status.
Among the groups are organizations calling themselves the Allen’s
Creek Intervenors and the Mockingbird Alliance.
Graham Painter, a spokesman for HL&P, suggested opponents
have caused unnecessary delays in Allen’s Creek, which is expected
to cost more than $1 billion and generate 1,200 megawatts of electric
ity.
Allen’s Creek was to be built 25 miles west of Houston. HL&P also
is a partner in the South Texas Nuclear Project being built near Bay
City.
“If we could bum the paper work, we could make a pretty substan
tial energy contribution,” Painter said. “There’s been tons of paper
going back and forth. We estimate that for each year the plant doesn’t
open in the ’80’s, it will cost customers $200 million (because of rising
costs).”
The Mockingbird Alliance distributed a statement disputing Paint
er’s assessment.
“The Mockingbird Alliance contends that the real obstructionists
here today are HL&P and the NRC, the statement said. “They are
trying to obstruct a fair and complete consideration of many of the
most important issues on the public’s mind.”

County’s water helps prevents caviti
United Press International
DALLAS — Dentists recom
mend that if you’re ever in Deaf
Smith County, do, by all means,
drink the water.
Forty years ago two dentists in
Hereford, Deaf Smith’s county seat,
realized there was virtually no tooth
decay among longtime residents and
newcomers to the area developed
greater immunity to cavities.
It was the water. And at a
weekend convention of dental assis
tants, a jug of water from Deaf
Smith County, regarded as the
“Plymouth Rock of Fluoridation,”
was among the honorees.
As Hereford was building its
reputation as the “town without a
toothache,” the state’s director of
dental health. Dr. Edward Taylor,
was notified and a random study was
undertaken immediately.
The cross-section survey failed to
turn up a single filling in the mouths
of those who all their lives had
drunk water from the windmill
wells, which contained approxi
mately 2 parts per million of
fluoride.
But those living in areas where
the water contained much more
fluoride — about 6 parts per million
— had dark, mottled teeth with im
perfect enamel and much more de
cay.
That led to more studies and a
1942 article in the Journal of the
American Dental Association where
Taylor concluded a high degree of
immunity to cavities could be de
veloped with a combination of
fluorides, phosphorus, calcium,
vitamin D and "possibly other fee-
tors in the food and water intake.”
Taylor said “in the neighborhood”
of 2 parts per million of flouride was
necessary to protect teeth from
decay without causing mottling.
He said vegetables grown in the
area, irrigated from the windmill
wells, along with the milk and meat
from cattle and the flour ground in
Deaf Smith County were additional
sources of calcium and phosphorus
necessary to build and maintain
tooth tissues.
brate our 55th year as an or;
tion, believe it should be
and remembered,” she said.
“The role played by this Texas
Panhandle town and county in the
improvement of dental health has
been largely forgotten by dentists
and the public alike,” said Lois
Mazzucchi of Santa Jose, Calif., and
president of the American Dental
Assistants Association.
She said the convention (
gates, representing approxim
145,000 dental assistants,
will toast Hereford, DeafSn;
County “and the children wk
decay-free, unmottled teeth (
lot to fluoridation."
The water is being provided Fish D
