Winnebago considers
plants in El Paso, Juarez
United Press International
EL PASO — A major manufac
turer of recreational vehicles located
in Iowa may build a plant in F.l Paso
and neighboring Juarez, Mexico,
creating up to 2,800 jobs on the bor
der, officials said Tuesday.
Executives of Winnebago Indus
tries of Forest City, Iowa, have been
inquiring about moving into the bor
der area for eight months, an El
Paso industrial developer said.
John Best, co-owner of Best Real
Estate, said Winnebago could create
2,800 jobs for the El Paso-Juarez
area if the firm expands its opera
tion to the border.
Best said Winnebago signed a
lease for a sewing factory in Juarez
and plans to open a twin plant in El
Paso.
Under the twin-plant program,
American firms own and operate
factories in foreign countries.
Most of the American industri
alists who own plants in Mexico have
a “twin” facility somewhere in the
United States.
El Paso Mayor Jonathan Rogers
said the El Paso-Juarez business
leaders are “cautiously optimistic”
the firm will open a factory in Fd
Paso.
An official of Winnebago said the
firm’s management is a long way
from deciding where it will locate a
planned expansion. Ronald Hou-
gen, president and chief executive
officer of Winnebago, said other lo
cations for an expansion also were
'being considered.
Winnebago closed plants in Cali
fornia and North Carolina during
the industry slump in the late 1970s
and early 1980s, Rotta said, but sales
have soared in the last four years.
The company posted $288 million in
sales in the first nine months of fiscal
year 1984, up from $92 million dur
ing the entire year of 1980, he said.
Cowtown celebrates history
United Press International
FORT WOR TH — During three
clays in September, gunslingers will
saunter down dusty streets in this
cowtown, call each other nasty
names and blast away.
And the best guns will win money
and national recognition.
All the gun-slinging will be for
Fort Worth’s Pioneer Day cele
bration — a booster event promot
ing the town’s colorf ul history of In
dian fighting, bar-room brawls,
cattle stampedes and general and
sundry cowboy rowdiness.
“A silver celebration’ is the term
for the three-day (Sept. 21-28)
event,” said a spokesman for the
project, “featuring western revelry,
classical and ethnic entertainment,
lots of country and western music,
an old-fashioned parade, gunfights,
dancing, a rodeo, contests, arts and
craf ts, cowboys and cooking.”
The shootouts are expected to be
a big draw.
Teams of contestants will travel
from California, Kansas, Missouri
and other states to try to gain the ti
tle of national gunfight champions.
“The judging panel,” said a
spokesman, “will grade the teams on
plot, dialogue, character portrayal,
wardrobe authenticity and overall
impression.
Trophies and cash prices will bea-
warded with $3,000 for first place,
$1,500 for second and $1,000 for
third place.
More authentic western action will
be offered by competitors in a wom
en’s pro rodeo. Events will include
hull riding, bareback riding, calf
roping, team roping, steer undec
orating and barrel racing.
The celebration offers a fiddlers
contest for the musically inclined.
Proceeds will be used for the
beautification and restoration of the
North Fort Worth area and cattle
yards area.

Corpus can't buy rain
United Press International
CORPUS CHRISTI — Radar
screens were dotted with thunder
storms north, south and east of Cor
pus Christi Tuesday, but somehow
the moisture managed to stay away
from this drought-stricken city and
its critically low water reservoir.
While a tropical wave dropped up
to 10 inches of rain 100 miles down
the coast at Brownsville, the Na
tional Weather Service reported at
mid-afternoon Tuesday that only
.003 inches of precipitation was reg
istered at the Corpus Christi Inter
national Airport.
“It’s been that way all summer,”
said NWS forcaster Fred Rousch.
Rousch said he had no explana
tion of how' thunder showers have
skirted all around the Coastal Bend

This volume presents a complete bifurcation theory of all evolution
problems governed by nonlinear differential equations which, through
projections, can be said to set in two dimensions. The analysis is general
and simple, can be used in a variety of applications, and is accessible to all
whose work involves equilibrium solutions of nonlinear differential
equations.

This is solid, unified survey of the standard
perturbation techniques used in a large variety of

to progressively more complicated ideas,
culminating in the solution of problems of cunent
research.

This book discusses the analysis of nonlinear functionals
of Brownian motion(“white noise”) with the help of
methods from infinitely dimensional harmonic analysis.
The real case is studied through O(E), the rotation
group, the complex case, with its important applications
in quantum mechanics through the unitary group U(E).

Good only at Archie's Taco Bell Locations
all summer, and he was about ready
to start blaming the Russians.
“Something’s going on,” he said.
“It could be the Russians. We might
as well blame them; it’d get the heat
off us.”
Corpus Christi and a dozen sur
rounding cities have been on man
datory water rationing the past
month since Lake Corpus Christi,
virtually the only water source in the
area, fell below 40 percent full.
So far, Corpus Christi is 8.75
inches of rain below normal, with a
total of 12.9 inches of rain for the
year. Most of that rain — almost 6
inches — fell in January before die
growing season.
T he NWS forecasts a 70 percent-
chance of rain for Wednesday.
