And his worry focuses on domestic immigrants — other Americans who choose to move to the Lone Star State. Growth rate figures indicate Texas is on its way to cultivating a north eastern-style megalopolis. Thus it is using up its natural resources and polluting its waterways and air, said philosopher and humanist Dr. Pete Gunter, who has also researched growth in Florida and Hawaii. “Here’s one way to look at it: they screwed up their part of the country and now they want to do it to ours,” said Gunter, who wants to educate Texans about the thousands of im migrants entering the state each month and jeopardizing “our life support system.” “In 2020, 30 million people will he living in Texas in a city that stretches from San Antonio to Sherman- Denison, and Texas will be out of oil, natural gas and probably water if Texas continues to pursue growth,” Gunter said. He said the state will run out of exportable oil by the 1990s and cheap natural gas a little later; the high plains is running out of irriga tion water; and the coastal zone is having pollution problems related to the establishment of an industrial “I’m a Texan and I’d hate to live in a gigantic southwestern slum,” said Gunter, a philosophy professor at North Texas State University. Best known for his part in the bat tle enlarge the Big Thicket natural preserve in southeast Texas, he has served on one of Lt. Gov. Bill Hob by’s water development committees and on the Coastal Zone Manage ment Program board. As a result, he said, he has seen firsthand the huge growth in Texas — about 26,000 people per month. “I am convinced it will end up su per-crowded and without the native resources to support all this. Texas is going to lose one-fifth of its agricultu ral land in the next 20 years if the growth rate keeps up.” The solution, Gunter said, is to slow the rate of growth, plan for it, and save farmland. “We need to be tough on people who want to move a business here so we won’t get pollutists. There needs to be education to let people know the problems. ” Gunter conceded it would be un constitutional to keep people out of Texas through legislation. But he suggested chambers of commerce throughout the state stop “pumping for growth ”, the state should stop advertising itself nation wide as the land of paradise and cor porations moving to Texas be re quired to face stringent environmen tal regulations and fewer tax breaks. “We need a more controlled rate of growth without so much damn ■ALTERATIONS 1 IN THE GRAND TRADITION OF OLD TEXAS WHERE MOTHER TAUGHT DAUGHTER THE FINE ART OF SEWING — SO HELEN MARIE TAUGHT EDITH MARIE THE SECRETS OF SEWING AND ALTERATIONS "DON’T GIVE UP — WE LL MAKE IT FIT!"

It’s stupid of us to sell it cheaply.” Gunter said IlnusUm-will prob ably be the first city in the state to start realizing it will have to slow immigration because oi its already huge growth. “Ifthey did this now we could save ourselves a lot of grief The more people you have living together the more pioneer individualism goesont the window.” Pilot avoids landing goof L'niti-d Press International BROWNSVILLE — A pilot almost mistakenly landed a Brawn- sville-bound Texas Intermitionaljet in Harlingen and an air safety official blames a dangerous lack o! radar equipment for the mix-up. TT Flight 970, on route from Hous ton to Brownsville Monday after noon, had been cleared for a visual landing in Brownsville. The pilot la-, ter informed the control tower that he had sighted the field and was mah ing his final approach. He soon real ized he was at the airport in Hading-' en about 25 miles away and quickly gained altitude and headed for Brownsville without incident. John Galipault, head (jf the Ohio- 5 based Aviation Safety Institute, said’ 1 the area does not have sufficient radar coverage which could Have prevented the situation.' “If we don t get some radar cover age there soon we re going to havea horrible mid-air collision, he said.
