Plains residents dug out from a weekend blizzard. No injuries were reported in the twisters, but they left a trail jnsporffl of destruction. Winds docked at ering pf ^ mph lashed southeast Texas and northwest Louisiana. One series of tornadoes dropped out of a heavy thun derstorm and hit small towns all iround Houston, smashing cars a U.S. Steel chemical plant faninteD ln d damaging houses at La Porte. La Porte Police Sgt. Gary Rice said the twister hit a subdi- mcernai^vision, flattening trees and util- ty poles. “During the night we had the pfi ain and tornado warnings,” Rice said. ‘‘But when that thing lit, it blew in all of a sudden. We got a call reporting a ■ansix)ri4 trange noise ’ ,ike a frei 8 ht ‘ / |ieel j rain, so we knew we had a tor- 111 ipado out there.” The Gulf Coast was under a pie warning from Port O’Con- lor to Port Arthur, Texas, and mall craft operators were varned of lightning and gusty hifting winds. The tornadoes sprang up during unseasonably mild veather and came a little earlier han usual, said Bill Sammler, )f the Severe Storms Forecast enter in Kansas City, Mo. “These are a little early, al- hough the tornado season does •fficially start on Feb. 1,” ammler said.

U.S. Citizenship Required Success is ability to sell your ideas By Barbara Brown Reporter The number-one need for success is the ability to sell your self and your ideas, Carl Ste vens, one of the nation’s leading authorities in programmed sales and human resource de velopment, said at the seminar he conducted at the Kleberg Center last weekend. The seminar, sponsored for the third year by the National Agri-Marketing Association, helped participants with skills that cannot be learned from any course at Texas A&M, Russell Hevenor, an agriculture eco nomics major from Bandera, said. Senior NAM A member Scott Tschirhart said, “This was the best confidence building class I have ever taken. It was well worth the weekend spent going to class.” LaNell Chumney, an agricul tural economics major from Stephenville, agreed. “I lacked self-confidence — now I have it.” Stevens, who has a natural delivery that mixes information with homespun humor, is founder-president of Carl Ste vens & Assoc. Inc., a profes sional consulting firm head quartered in Houston. He serves as consultant to leading national and international com panies and trade associations. He has traveled over 1 mil lion miles in the last ten years, 25 countries in five continents, teaching individuals how to sell themselves and their ideas. In 1976, Stevens received the National Speakers Association prestigious CPAE award — the highest award in professional speaking. The prior year, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale received the award, and last year’s winner was Ronald Reagan. Stevens began his career in the mid-1950s when he became interested in why 20 percent ot the salesmen were responsible for 80 percent of sales. After ten years of research and in-depth interviews, he de veloped a seven-step, scientific selling method focusing on the individual’s emotional, as well as logical, basis for buying deci sions. “The seminar is a super-con centrated format of what would be offered in a full semester sales course,” Stevens said. “Texas A&M graduates are going to be in direct competi- ‘ lion with students at other uni versities who have a four-year 1 sales education. 1 Clark Springfield, president) of NAMA, said, “Mr. Stevens is recognized around the world as _ a professional sales consultant.; If you attend his seminar, you can put him on your resume and he will write a recommen dation for you. i x :i L ! 1 J 3 ; r DEFENSIVE ^ DRIVING COURSE Feb. 13 & 14 RAMADAINN Pre-register by phone: 693-8178/846-1904 FEE $20 Ticket Deferral and 10% Insurance Discount a restaurant 8c club Appearing Wednesday, February 22 "Trout Fishing In America" "Student Lunch Specials" 10% Discount With I D. & Happy Hour Prices 11 a m to 7 p.m. "Ladies Night, Thursday" No Cover & Happy Hour All Night For the Ladies “Fiddlin Faron’ Tuesday thru Saturday Nights Express Yourself “Open Mike Night" Sunday Excellent Food.

Three to five inches of rain had fallen on parts of northeast Louisiana by early Sunday and another 3 to 6 inches was ex pected, forecasters said. Most highways in eastern Colorado and western Kansas were open Sunday in the af termath of a blizzard that stranded hundreds of people in their cars. In eastern Colorado, travel ers were stacked up in restau rants, churches and truck stops with their names on waiting lists for wreckers to remove their cars from 7-foot snowdrifts. The Colorado State Patrol used airplanes to spot stuck mo torists and direct rescuers to them. A freak blizzard Saturday, with sustained winds of 60 to 70 mph, dumped more than a foot of new snow on Limon, Colo, and surrounding farm towns. “This was very much a sur prise to everyone,” said Mike Robinson, the manager at Rip Griffins Truck Stop in Limon. “I don’t think anyone heard any weather reports that predicted this storm.” Robinson said about 500 peo ple spent Saturday night at the truck stop, but most had left by midday Sunday. The ski areas in the moun tains west of Denver received little or no snow from the storm. Travelers advisories were posted in northern Iowa, east ern Tennessee and all of Penn sylvania as thick fog covered the upper Mississippi Valley and the middle and northern Atlan tic states.
