New bishop is ordained in East Texas TYLER (AP) — The bishop-des ignate of the newly created Catholic diocese says its establishment will en courage faith in the Northeast Texas church. “The establishment of the local church will give an impetus to add to the local faith that already exists,” said Charles Herzig, 57, who was to be ordained Tuesday night as the Tyler Catholic Diocese’ new bishop. The 32-county area comprising the new diocese “takes its place with those primitive churches and the Catholic centers of the world as a place of importance,” he said. Herzig, born and reared in San Antonio, has been a priest in the San Antonio Archdiocese since 1955. He has been vice chancellor and director of the archdiocese’s tribunal since 1984. Archbishop Patrick Flores of San Antonio said, “If there is anyone who could have done this job at this time it would be Charles Herzig. Tyler’s gain is my loss.” During a news conference Tues day at Tyler’s Immaculate Concep tion Church, Flores praised Herzig’s organizational abilities. “He will pull the elements of the church together and make them that much more effective,” Flores said. The archbishop, along with Dallas Bishop Thomas Tschoepe and Lub bock Bishop Michael Sheehan, will ordain Herzig Tuesday night at a ceremony at which more than 4,000 people were expected. Herzig said, “I humbly accept the appointment not because of any spe cial merits of my own but because I see it as somehow part of the Lord’s plan.” He said his greatest challenges will be to increase the manpower of the diocese and to link the outlying pa rishes in a diocese which covers al most 23,000 square miles. The new diocese has a total population of about 1,200,000, including 45,000 Catholics. GSU gets OK for rate hike in Louisiana BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) —The Louisiana Public Service Commis sion Tuesday granted Gulf States Utilities a,v temporary $57 million rate hike that company officials say was needed to ward off bankruptcy. The utility had wanted $100 mil lion in emergency relief, but Linn Draper, a GSU executive, said after the meeting that the utility was hopeful it could continue operations through July. The commission voted 3-1 for the proposal by Commissioner Don Owen of Shreveport, who added that the company’s request for some $200 million in permanent relief must be settled July 25. The commission could repeal the $57 million temporary rate hike, make it permanent or include it in a larger rate increase at that time, he said. The $57 million translates to an additional $5 a month for the aver age residential customer, said Sha ron Rochford, the PSC’s economist. The state of Texas recently granted Gulf States a $40 million rate hike contingent on the utility’s ability to get $250 million line of credit from various banks. Company officials said after the Louisiana decision today that they believe they can get that credit, now that the temporary rate hike has been approved. Commissioner Louis Lambert of Gonzales was the lone dissenter. The commission had rejected any rate relief for GSU at a December hearing, but the company went to state court for help. Fires blaze into night on banks as fishermen cast lines in creek CHANDLER (AP) — Every eve ning from January through March, travelers along Texas Highway 31 can see fires burning along Kicka- poo Creek west of here. Just as the Kickapoo Indians used fires as signals, fishermen along the creek bank know the meaning of the winter fires — good crappie fishing. On a cold night, as many as 15 to 20 Fires will blaze at once, a regular fisherman says. “It can be really pre tty out here,” he says. Annie Williams of Tyler is a 40- year veteran of Kickapoo Creek fish ing. Bundled up in a heavy coat and a stocking hat and settled firmly in her chair, she gazed out across the water where her two lines drifted about 10 feet from the bank. She fishes the creek two or three times a week and is equipped with all the necessities, such as canned pud- ding. “It is better than watching tele vision,” she says. “I love to fish. We put on our ski clothes. We have heat ers and even build fires sometimes. The little gas heaters we put in front of us keep your hands so warm so you don’t even know it’s cold. “Sometimes we do good, and sometimes we only catch two or three. “A lot of the people make the fires for light as well as warmth. But I usually don’t stay out here long enough to build a fire. —Jame Curtis “I can hardly remember when I first came out here. There was only this little stretch of creek when we first came. None of the part behind us was here then.” She pointed to the wider part of creek which con nects to Lake Palestine. “At that time, we just figured ev erywhere there was water, there were fish,” she says.

My kids were little then. We would catch crawfish for bait and then catch fish. “Anytime there was a lot of ground moved, in the summer or fall, water would usually fill the area up. If it didn’t dry out by the spring time, there would usually be fish there.” Jame Curtis, a pastor from Tyler who regularly fishes the creek, says, “A lot of the people make the fires for light as well as warmth. But I usually don’t stay out here long enough to build a fire. I come out about 5 p.m. and leave after 7 p.m.” Tyler fisherman Wayne Gay, a Kelly Springfield employee, says, “The first time I ever saw the fires and lanterns, I thought somebody had a wreck or something.” Curtis, who sat on an overturned bucket, says the creek is fed from backup water flowing out Lake Pal estine. The area where he and his friend, Ray Golden, were fishing was only about 2 feet deep, he says. 6* | Virtually required reading for anyone who wants to establish or improve his or her credit and borrow money.
