Matinees: 11 a.m.; Sun. Matinees: 1 p.m. ALL. EVENING PERFORMANCES ARE AT 7:45 P.M. Ticket prices are still only $4 and $8.50 & include admission to the Livestock Show. “The health profession first reac ted by recommending that patients at risk for coronary heart disease eat less red meat because of its per ceived high fat content and choles terol level, but more recent recom mendations allow consumption of moderate amounts of meat.” One fact the medical profession is confused about is the relationship “Many doctors believe the higher the fat content of the meat, the more cholesterol there is in the meat,” Cross said. This is not true because there is a very low relationship between the fat and cholesterol contents in meat, he said, and cholesterol is relatively constant with different levels of fat. Ground beef with 30 percent fat and ground beef with two percent, for example, both will have 60 milli grams of cholesterol, primarily be cause cholesterol is in tne cell wall of the muscle fiber, he said. Most health-care professionals and dieticians would prefer red meat that has no fat, he said, but there are problems with consumer acceptance when fat is absent from meat because such meat is usually tough, dry and undesirable in flavor. Some fat is necessary to ensure the meat is enjoyed when eaten, Cross said, but the level should be low enough that meat may be in cluded in the diet. Cholesterol is necessary for life, Cross said, but since the human body can produce about 1,500 milli grams of cholesterol each day, sig nificant consumption of cholesterol in the diet is not necessary. “However, if a person eats an abundance of cholesterol, the body is capable of excreting the excess,” he added. Meat is leaner these days because of better breeding and feeding methods. Cross said. When cooked, lean beef and skin less chicken have almost identical cholesterol levels. The meat industry has helped the consumer by identifying leaner cuts of beef, pork and lamb, and by pro moting low-fat, low-calorie methods of cooking red meat, he said.

HUNTSVILLE (AP) — More than 100 inmates were released from Texas prisons Thursday, but officials said the number would not be enough to allow the nation’s sec ond-largest corrections system to re open its doors to new convicts. For the second time in a month, the state’s 26 units were closed Wednesday to inmate admissions when the population reached 38,472, or 95.21 percent of capacity. The tally was 86 inmates over a 95 percent cap set by the Legislature to control prison overcrowding. The closing came after another 200 inmates were admitted while only about 68 were released, push ing the population even higher over the limit. The midnight Wednesday count, announced Thursday, was 95.34 percent, or 38,523 inmates — 135 over the limit. About 120 were being freed Thursday, officials said. “We’ll have to have a few more days like that,” he said, referring to the releases. “Actually, it would be good if we had a week like that.” Although interim prison director James Lynaugh sent a teletype mes sage to all Texas sheriffs informing them the system was closed. Hunt County deputies showed up at the prison system’s Diagnostic Center in Huntsville Thursday with four in mates. They were turned away by a guard posted at the gate. “The TDC said they would take ours this week because we hold some of their inmates here from time to time,” Hunt County Sheriffs De partment Lt. Neil Dent said. “I’m full here,” he said, referring to his county jail. “Our jail holds 81 and we had 79 this morning, not counting the four we sent to TDC.” Other sheriff’s departments around the state, however, said the prison closing was causing no imme diate problems. bunks, but officials anticipate serious problems unless the prison closing was prolonged. The prison system closed its doors early last month after topping the 95 percent mark set by the Legislature in 1983 as a result of a federal judge’s order to ease crowding. most recent case, Mario Gir^g 19, was working in a field:*, the Hidalgo-Starr 0001111®^ '' when lu- was accosted abo. p.m. Tuesday by iwo aliens.

Falcon blamed Mexico economy as a reason for tacks. “We anticipate this present shut down will be for only a short time,” Mark Keller, director of the deten tion bureau for Harris County, the state’s most populous. “I think the impact for the near future will be minimal.” Treasurer says tax needed to pay Texas’ Maaro Thursc offshoi Gulf o r'Tb oui r< tion of garbag confer ihorc increop help it Harris County, which has a 4,400- inmate jail, had scheduled 35 prison ers for delivery on Thursday. “We are holding our deliveries,” Keller said. “We certainly can ac commodate 35 more inmates. ” Two other high-population coun ties — Dallas and Tarrant — were assigning county jail inmates mat- flc tresses on the floor rather than AUSTIN (AP) — State Treasurer Ann Richards told the Senate Fi nance Committee on Thursday the Legislature must pass a tax increase to begin Sept. 1 or the state will be unable to pay its bills this fall. “Seven months from now we are facing the same kind of serious jeop ardy we had been facing before,” Richards said. “And the tools we had been given to deal with it are going to be inade quate, unless we have enough cash arrive in the treasury early in Sep tember to offset the outflow of money by Sept. 23 to the foundation school fund,” she said.
