It’s the s[ m to watch House votes to build center for waste research at Lamar AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas House, rejecting a member’s plea to delay action because he was not con sulted about the bill, voted Thursday to set up a hazardous waste research center at Lamar University. The objections came from Rep. Al Price; a Democrat whose Beaumont district includes Lamar. He carried a similar bill in 1985, but it did not reach the House floor. This year’s version, authored by Sen. Carl Par ker, D-Port Arthur, has been ap proved by the Senate. The House sponsor is Rep. Mark Stiles, D-Beaumont. And that is what upset Price. “The legislative question here is to prevent legislative comets from going into districts as that person may see Fit, either to skim from a member’s district or to dump in that member’s district,” Price said, add ing he was not speaking against the bill’s merits. He said House members in pre vious years had rejected “this kind of legislative encroachment or this kind of legislative invasion.” “In each case, the House has voted to uphold its tradition and to affirm the integrity of each mem ber’s district,” Price said. Price complained that he had not once been consulted about this piece of legislation. Stiles said Price has been aware of the bill and could have signed on as a co-sponsor for the measure that sets up a research consortium that in cludes Lamar, the University of Texas, the University of Houston and Texas A&M University. Stiles told the House, “I’m not sure what the bottom-line problem is, but what this legislation is doing, and what I’m trying to do today is help the people in the stale of Texas move forward in trying to establisha research center that’s going to do something for our children and their children.” The project would lie funded will) federal money. Rep. Ed Watson, D-Deer Park called it a great bill and said House members should not battle over pride of authorship. Stiles said, “1 think that sometimes we lose sight of those things because there are 150 egos over here.” But Price countered that “it’s nou matter of ego. It’s just a matter that it keeps tne functioning of the House according to the decorum we’ve established in the past.” The bill was approved 129-0, sending it to Gov. Bill Clements.

HOUSTON (AP) — A woman, who last week escaped from a court hearing by wriggling out of hand cuffs, thanked a judge after she was sentenced at her subsequent hear ing, saying she could get dental care in prison. Christine Highfield, 23, made it clear to anyone who asked that the prospect of Five years imprisonment in the Texas Department of Correc tions pleased her. “I get a good education,” High- Field, 23, said Wednesday. “I get $200 when I get out, and I get my teeth worked on,” she said. “What else can I ask for?” On April 15, HighField was hand cuffed to a seat in a county court room. How she got free from the hand cuffs touched off considerable dis cussion around the courthouse. “Are you double-jointed?” State District Judge Ted Poe asked her. “They say I am, but I don’t know,” she replied. “You appear to be a modern-day Houdini,” Poe said. “It will be interesting to see if the Texas Department of Corrections can keep you incarcerated,” he said. HighField was sentenced after she pleaded guilty to escape and cocaine possession. omatterwhat you've go to say or sell, our Classi fieds can help you do the big job. GOVERNMENT HOMES.

She told the bailiff her handcuffs were too tight, and the officer loos ened the restraint. She soon freed her hand and fled, only to be arrested hours later hid ing under a house. A small quantity of cocaine also was found. “Thank you,” she told the judge. “I’m ready to get out of this county jail.” Highfield’s attitude surprised her attorney. “I’ve been practicing law for 10 years and I’ve never had one before who wanted to go to the TDC,” her attorney, Jerry Bonney, said. Even prosecutor Vic Wisner ap preciated HighField’s sense of hu mor. “It was nice to make someone so happy and serve the ends of law en forcement so well at the same time,” Wisner said.

Grocery owner ‘Papa John’ shows nice guys finish first sometimes PORT ACRES (AP) — Johnie Al ford is living proof that nice guys can finish first. For almost 40 years, the owner of Alford’s Super Market helped out his Port Acres community by doing everything from sponsoring baseball teams to sending food baskets to families struggling with hard times. And Alford has seen his business grow from a two-pump service sta tion to a full-fledged company with seven retail and grocery stores. To honor his contribution, Port Acres residents threw a banquet re cently to give back to “Papa John” some of what he has given them. “Everyone knows Johnie,” Justice of the Peace Barbara Dorman says. “You grew up knowing him. You knew you could always depend on him.” When local reFinery workers went on strike, Alford let them buy gro ceries on credit. Whenever ambi tious Port Acres students had big college plans but little money, Al ford gave them jobs. “I took money out of the register to help youth, even when we could hardly pay the bills,” Alford says. “I never turned down anyone who needed help.” Alford, 68, moved to Port Acres from Livingston in 1948 and set up business in a dusty, one-room service station on West Port Arthur Road. Alford wanted to get into the gro cery business, so he began offering bread and milk for sale. He faced stiff competition from four nearby grocery stores, but he was deter mined to prevail. And succeed he did. Of his four “You can’t go into business if you don’t love and care for people." Alford has prevailed, despite fire and flood.

In 1982, a Fire gutted his store and wiped him out. competitors, one survives, one closed and Alford bought out the other two. Alford attributes his success to dealing well with customers. “L,oving and caring for people is the most im portant thing in my life,” he says. “My children wanted me to re tire,” he says. “But this communin had stuck with me all these yearsafid I did not want them out here will out a good grocery store.” With support from friends and his banker, he rebuilt his business, Despite the fire, Alford’s sense of humor prevailed.
