DEER PARK (AP) — There’s one
'first-grade classroom in the Deer
Park school district that holds mem
ories, not students.
Housed in a 60-year-old school
building, a museum designed to be a
walk-in scrapbook reminds the Deer
Park community of the district’s his
tory. Longtime residents can be seen
leading their grandchildren to show
cases displaying faded black and
white pictures, band uniforms, and
other memorabilia reflecting past
graduating classes.
“It’s a lot of nostalgia,” said Mary
E. Stephenson, 70, a museum com
mittee member. “It’s a big thrill for
people to show their children what
they looked like in first grade.”
“It’s just a one-room museum, but
it is interesting.”
Before the rededication of the
building as an administration annex,
officials planned to demolish the fa
cility. An unprecedented community
upheaval turned that decision
around, Stephenson said. The
school building had served as Deer
Park’s town church, community hall
and social center, she said.
Stephenson, who has lived in the
Deer Park community for 42 years,
is a charter member of the Deer
Park School District Historical Mu
seum. In 1982, the museum was cre
ated in what was then the San Ja
cinto School, she said. Her children
learned their ABCs in that school,
and she worked in the annex as a re
ceptionist for 35 years.
The building was later renamed
the Leon Walters Administration
Building to honor Deer Park’s su
perintendent from 1978-1986. The
museum became Walters’ dream,
said Bob Vaughn, school administra
tor and museum committee mem
ber.
“It is a historical storage place for
the district’s history,” he said.
Although the museum features
50-year-old photographs, trophies,
original desks and even a what-was-
then modern cooking stove, interest
in the museum has waned over the
past two years, Vaughn said. Next
year, Vaughn said he will attempt to
regenerate interest in the museum
that so many residents have visited.
In the past, committee members
met once per month to learn how to
display items and how to lure more
visitors. The committee has not met
in two years.
“This was a dream of Leon Wal
ters,” Vaugn said. “T he love of this
district and what it meant to him is
part of the reason it is maintained.”
Walters and several other super
intendents were honored by mu
seum displays in the one-room trea
sure house. Clyde Abshier was
superintendent in Deer Park from
1941 to 1969, and he also has some
personal possessions encased in glass
in the museum. Abshier died three
years ago, and his wife Lo said he
earned the museum’s tribute.
Lo Abshier, 78, moved to the dis
trict in 1931 and taught in the for
mer San Jacinto School. She said the
museum helps preserve important
memories.
“As long as Clyde lived, there was
a lot of interest in it,” she said. “Too
many have moved away, and there’s
not as much interest now.”

Coast Guard rescues mai
from bay after he jumped
from burning motorboat
In the past, the museum attracted
small crowds on Sundays and larger
ones during organized open houses.
Boy Scout troops, elementary school
classes and other school groups still
visit the museum. Recently, at a 50-
year high school reunion, the Class
of 1939 visited the museum for a
glimpse of their younger years.
Although interest may fade as the
district population gets younger, do
nations continue to support a sub
stantial bank account for the mu
seum, Abshier said.
The school artifacts also are do
nated, and some are borrowed from
i esidents.
“There are still people here who
take a great deal of pride in it,” she
said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — There’s an ethics and pay
quandary waiting for Congress this fall — and a session
that began with the prosptfft of a sharp salary increase
could end in what amounts to a freeze.
It wouldn’t be the first. House and Senate salaries
once were stalled for 33 years after a pay increase bill
that stirred a political storm.
James Madison saw it coming when the Pounding La
thers were in the process of creating Congress. At the
constitutional convention in 1787, he observed that to
have members “regulate their own wages was an inde
cent thing and might in time prove a dangerous one.”
To review the current bidding, President Bush has
offered to “work with Congress” on a pay raise to sub
stitute for the 51-percent increase rejected last winter.
That was six weeks ago, when he also proposed legis
lation to phase out the speechmaking honoraria mem
bers now can accept as outside income.
The game plan in Congress has been to tie restric
tions on outside income to an increase in the $89,500-a-
year salary members now are paid, putting a spoonful
of sugar with the ethics medicine.
A bipartisan House task force is studying the issues,
and probably will suggest next month that Congress
tighten its outside income restrictions in tandem with a
renewed pay raise measure.
Even that formula leaves Democratic leaders wary
that Republicans might seize any raise as an issue
against them, even an increase endorsed by Bush.
That’s what happened on the 51-percent raise, al
though President Ronald Reagan recommended the
measure and Bush agreed.
GOP campaigners trying to shake the Democratic
majority in the House figure one way to do it is by work
ing to create a backlash against incumbents, most of
whom are Democrats. And there’s a long record to
demonstrate that there’s no backlash like a congressio
nal pay backlash.
Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W. Va., recounted that re
cord in one of his lectures on congressional history, tra
cing pay hassles to the current one — 4nd noting that it
has revived a moribund, 200-year-old constitutional

amendment that would delay the effective dateofw
raise until alter the next congressional election!
Twenty-eight of the required 38 states have voledio
ratify the pay amendment.
For its first 20 years, Congress paid i is *m embers a;
the rate of $6 a day and $6 for every 20 miles traveled
to get there and home again. Byrd said that workedom
to $900 or $ 1,000 a year in congressional salaries.
In 1816, Congress voted in an annual salary ol
$1,500, spurred by purported reformers who argued
that members were dragging out speeches and thusses-
sions in order to collect higher pay at the day rate.Thai
produced an outcry and an issue that led to wholesali
defeat of incumbents, which prompted the survivors to
repeal it. They upped daily pay to $8, and it was frozen £
there for 38 years.
The first annual salaries, of $3,000, were voted m
1856. In 1873, Congress voted to raise that to $7,500-
and to make it retroactive for two years. President llw
ses S. Grant signed it, doubling his own pay in theprot
ess.
That backlash was explosive, despite congressional
arguments with a familiar ring. Sen. Matthew Cat
penter of Wisconsin said his constituents didn’t waul
him to live in a garret on crackers and cheese and dress
in goatskins. He said they knew that a bank cashieroi
insurance company president couldn’t he hired for less
than $10,000. “They believe a senator ought to have as
much brains as a cashier of a bank or president of an
insurance company,” he said.
The “salary grab” was the dominant issue in thenea
election. Carpenter was one of the casualties.
That raise was repealed and it was 33 years before
Congress risked voting itself another one.
It put salaries back at $7,500, where they stayed for
the next 18 years. In 1925, the Senate boosted payioI
$10,000 with a late-night amendment, passed with no [
debate. The House agreed, avoiding a roll call vote.
Congress cut its pay during the Depression, restored I
it before World War II, but didn’t get another raiseuu j
til 1946. In 1955, amid an economic boom, Congress I
boosted its pay to $22,500, an 80-percent raise, wiili j
little political fallout.
Maybe the secret is in the timing.
