First Texas twisters
ouch down near
he Houston area
United Press International
The first tornadoes of the
season damaged houses and
knocked out power in parts of
| Texas and Louisiana Sunday
while fog shrouded the upper
Mississippi Valley and Atlantic
Coast. 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.

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

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.
