Sat. 10-4 2701 Longmire Drive College Station HOUSTON — Wilfredo Alvarenga was a polio-crippled 11-year-old boy without a happy future the day volunteer nurse Margaret Anderson came to his Honduran village of La Virtud. Anderson, a volunteer with Church World Service, an arm of the World Council of Chur ches, said Wilfredo had to crawl around because polio had devas tated his legs. But he always was smiling and quickly became her friend. “One day he came up to me and out of the blue asked if I could help him get braces for his legs,” Anderson said. “I don’t even think he knew then what braces are, and I don’t know how he knew to ask me. “He said he just wanted to be able to walk straight like all the other children.” As a result of that chance meeting and that bold inquiry in November 1982, Alfredo, now 12, was in Houston the past sev eral weeks being fitted for braces and crutches at the Shrin- ers Hospital for Crippled Chil dren. “This is his dream come true,” said Anderson. “The first avenue I thought of after he asked me about the braces was the Shriners.” Anderson, 30, who was famil iar with the Shriners, because she worked as a burn nurse in San Diego before volunteering for Church World Service, was in La Virtud to aid Salvadoran refugees. Wilfredo and other village children visited her daily, but she said he stood out. “There was just something about him that was special. I would read to him when I had the chance, and, at night, after all the other townspeople had gone to bed, we would make soup to gether,” said Anderson. Anderson credits her father, the Rev. Allan Anderson, pastor Wilfredo is expecting to obtain his braces very soon, but he said he has gained much more thanjust leg braces. He has made many new friends, Ander son said.

A Senate subcommittee on water resources held the hear ing to give affected industries a chance to comment on the bill, which also would set a $646 annual ceiling on federal water project spending through 1999. The ceiling represents the amount spent by the govern ment on water projects in 1983, including waterways, ports and flood control projects. Under the bill, any spending in excess of the $646 million ceil ing would require the imposi tion of user fees. Many of the groups testifying criticized the $646 million ceil ing and the imposition of users fees, saying they were designed to help reduce federal deficits more than help the nation’s transportation network and eco nomy. Bory Steinberg, of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, said the cost of major water projects authorized by the legislation would exceed $646 million by 1986, and that $125 million would have to be raised through user fees by 1988. Among the projects autho rized by the bill are the shallow draft navigation improvement at Helena Harbor and White River navigation in Arkansas, shallow draft navigation im provements at Lake Pontchar- train in Louisiana, and Missis sippi River improvements near Greenville Harbor and Vick sburg, Miss. The strongest criticism of the bill came from Joseph Farrell, president of the American Wa terways Operators, which repre sents the nation’s barge com panies. Farrell said the nation’s 15 largest barge companies lost $30 million in 1982 while paying $ 11 million in taxes. “This bill, it must be noted, contemplates as much as quintu- pling taxes on an industry already prostrate,” he said. Farrell said the most “danger ous” feature of the bill was that while Congress would decide what water projects would be built, the barge industry and other affected industries would have to pay for them above the $646 million ceiling. Do you want to have an AFFAIR? 845-1320 <"1 Several agricultural groups /ould be said the panel farmers would be hit twice by any user fees, once for grain shipped out for ex port, and again for fertilizer shipped into the nation’s heart land for farmers. J. Stephen Lucas, of the Na tional Grain and Feed Associa tion, said farmers could not pass on those extra costs to shippers or overseas grain purchasers be cause both are already operating in highly competitive markets.

The Rev.

Boone Pickens said Tuesday despite his recent setback he still expects to force restructuring of Gulf Oil Corp. and said his team will make a decision soon whether to propose a new board of direc tors.

Law, 52, considered a leading American ecumenist, has been bishop of the Springfield-Cape Girardeau Diocese in Spring- field, Mo. for 10 years. He was born in Mexico and served ear lier in the Natchez-Jackson Dio cese of Louisiana. As archbishop of the third largest Roman Catholic archdio cese in America, he is virtually certain to become a cardinal, possibly at the consistory the pope is expected to call this year. “I am most grateful to the holy father for having appointed me archbishop of Bos ton.” Law said. Boston’s Roman Catholic population of 1.9 million, is sur passed in size only by Chicago with 2.37 million and Los Angeles with 2.3 million, according to church statistics. “I am most grateful to the holy father for having appointed me archbishop of Boston,” Law said in Spring- field. “My thoughts are of those who have preceded me, particu larly the late Cardinal Medeiros, whose sudden death was a shock to the whole church. May the lord grant me the holiness and wisdom necessary to effectively serve this great archdiocese as they did.” Medeiros died at the age of 67, Sept. 17, 1983, after under going triple bypass heart surgery. He had become archbishop of Boston in Sep tember 1970 and a cardinal! years later.
