SANTA FE, N.M. — Four
people whose cars were dam
aged at a State Police-ordered
roadblock south of Albuquer
que last week will be fully com
pensated for their loss r Gov.
Bruce King said at a news con
ference Monday.
“We’ll try to expedite it,”
King said. “I would hope we
could resolve this without law
suits.”
State Police stopped four pri
vate citizens last Friday and
ordered them to park their cars
across the northbound lane of
Interstate 25 about two miles
south of Albuquerque.
The impromptu roadblock
was used to nab Robert Clark
son, 16, of El Paso, who allegedly
stole a car in Socorro and evaded
police until he rammed into the
citizen-supplied roadblock.
The car the youth was driving
was completely destroyed, as
was one person’s automobile
used in the roadblock, and three
other cars were damaged.
State Police originally said
they could not be held liable for
the damage, noting any com
pensation would have to come
from each individual’s insur
ance company.

Texas ‘canned heat’ to be sold soon

BROWNSVILLE — Just as

enterprising young men are.
now selling what Texas has the
most of — heat.
Canned heal.
“It’s going to be bigger than
the pet rock,” said Don Breeden,
an advertiser and half-owner of
the new company.
Breeden, 31, said he and
partner Harry McNair Jr., 26,
were just sitting around talking
about two months ago when
they came up with the idea of
capturing heat in cans and sell
ing it.
Breeden designed a label,
and the men hired a local can
nery to seal up the heat. Then
they offered the cans for sale at a
local gift shop — $4.95 per can
— and have watched business
expand, Breeden said.

The real test will come when
the 46-ounce “Texas size” cans
of hot air debut at the World
Trade Center in Dallas July 2.
With afternoon temperatures
running about 95 degrees in
Brownsville and soon to break
100, heat is plentiful this time of
year. But Breeden will not say
exactly how it is captured in
cans. He says it is a secret pro

Nor is he specific about what
one should do with cans of heat.
“We don’t recommend open
ing them of course. This way it’s
always there in case you need it,”
he said. “We thought about put
ting directions on the side for
what you could do with it, but we
don’t want to limit anybody’s im
agination.”

Budget cuts to force

Breeden guarantees the cans
are hot when they leave the Rio

them soon warming the shelves

SAN ANTON IO — State offi
cials, blaming federal budget
cuts, have ordered the closing of
six rural health clinics serving
about 7,300 people.
The state Health and Human
Services Department said a 20
percent reduction in federal
community health funding also
would force severe cuts in ser
vice at the other 25 clinics in the
rural health system.
Slated for shutdown at the
end of J uly are clinics at Del Rio,
Hondo, Castroville, Devine,
Hawkins and Prairie View, offi
cials saicU in their Friday

A spokeswoman at the Del
Rio clinic said its loss would be a
severe hardship for local resi
dents. The Buena Salud clinic
receives about 90 percent of its
$420,000 annual budget from
federal funds.
“Without the community
health clinic, our patients won’t
be able to afford to be sick,” said
Linda Garcia, the clinic’s fiscal
officer.

Walk Don’t Shuttle
Condominium living is just a
short walk from campus.
A three minute walk from the
main campus brings you to The
Northgate—condominiums custom
designed for Texas A&M students.
Fully furnished all the way
down to the forks and knives, The
Northgate lets you step into an
incomparable student lifestyle with
nothing but a suitcase.
The Northgate offers two and
three bedroom floor plans, kitchens
loaded with GE appliances, includ

education. And it will remain an
extremely valuable property long
after you’ve graduated.
But best of all, The Northgate
is convenient to the campus. It’s
less than ten minutes walk from the
main library. And excellent shop
ping, dining and banking facilities
are always just around the corner.
The Northgate is available for
