RANCH SCENE The scene is the spacious settin’room of a Texas ranch, At a desk under the longhorns of a departed steer, Honey Bird Johanson is working on a mass of papers. Her husband. Lindy, is spread out on a sofa studying a poll. The wife speaks: H.B.: Lindy, honey. I’m afraid you must fire that new hand Stinky Carbuncle. They tell me he was at the Long horn Saloon last night with his creepy buddy. Goober Brown, and both of ’em said they were going to burn down our ranch, shoot us, and run our cattle across the river. Lindy: Shucks. Ma, stop frettin’. The boys is just feelin’ the heat. H.B.: No, Lindy, I feel in my bones both of them is plumb rotten. Lindy: Now, Ma, it’s like I said. The heat’s made ’em ornery. So I’m gonna fix things. I’m gonna build ’em the dangedest bunkhouse you ever saw. Air conditioned, with a big swimmin’ pool, a color TV set that’ll pick up them Austin stations, and their own bar with all the bourbon they can drink. I’ll buy ’em each a pink Lincoln, and I’m gonna raise their pay and make ’em both foremen. H.B.: But, Lindy, they won’t do a lick of work. No ropin’, no cuttin’. Why they won’t even pose for cigarette commercials. Another thing, they’s been some killin’ at the Longhorn. I think you should order ’em to stay at the ranch till things settle down. Lindy: Now that’s the wrong way. Honey Bird. Their trouble is they never been learned nothin’, so I’ll tell you what. Along with that fancy bunkhouse I’m gonna build me a great big schoolhouse, with a campus bigger than Texas A & M. And I’m gonna get my friend Sarge Shriver, that Yankee up north, to ship down the prettiest schoolmarms and schoolmen he can rustle up. Trouble is, we never gave fellers like Stinky or Goober a chanst. But I’m gonna, if it takes my last million dollars. H.B.: Er, Lindy, I hate to mention this but you’ve al ready spent your last million. The bank called. Said ifn you don’t pay them the $48 million you owe ’em they’ll foreclose. Lindy: Now, Ma, don’t fret your pretty little head like that. Like I said, I’m gonna build the gol-darnedest bunk house you ever did see, and then I’ll get crackin’ on that big schoolhouse. Yessirree, bob, it’ll be the biggest in all Texas. With the prettiest schoolmarms, too, and every last one of them a registered Democrat. - U. S. PRESS ASSOCIATION THURSDAY. SEH EMBER 14, OSU EXPLORES WAYS OF CONVERTING SOME WASTES INTO WEALTH Possibilities for chemically converting some wastes into wealth will be studied as one of the first research projects of the new Center For Environ ment Management at Oregon State university in Corvallis. The scientists will be work ing with solid wastes, which will involve practically everything except sewage and sanitary wastes. Included will be waste papers, plastics, metals, garbage, etc. A $38,500 grant has been re ceived from tbe US public health service to launch the project aimed at “the transformation of refuse and solid wastes into valuable products by chemical processes.’’ The project is one of 17 for which federal grants were made to support studies aimed at re ducing pollution and developing marketable materials from solid wastes. Waste paper, which has been estimated to account for from 40 to 80 per cent of tbe total bulk of solid wastes, will get special attention, according to Virgil H. Freed, director of the university's unique new center, and Fred Burgess, head of tbe department of civil en gineering. Aims of tbe project are to classify and identify the chem ical nature of constitutents of solid wastes and then to seek Chamber Speakers (Continued From Page 1) ams said he had received a call Wednesday morning from someone identifying himself as Patterson, asking if he might attend the meeting, but since he was not present would extend an invitation at an early date to present his side of the picture.

It will double next month--$1,000 fine, one year in jail, or both. This charge already carries a mini mum stipulation of two days in jail, upon conviction. The revised law also requires impounding a vehicle owned by a person convicted on this charge. The vehicle can be im pounded from 30 to 120 days from the date of judgment and the person is liable for all expenses incurred for the re moval and storage. The aim of this measure is to reduce the number of people who dive the number of people who drive while suspended.

Most waste material con tains organic matter such as cellulose, lignin, fats, etc., the scientists pointed out. Com posted solid waste, in turn, con tains a higher quantity of min erals. This information suggests three potential uses for solid waste materials; as a source of cellulose; as a source of metals, especially calcium; and as a soil conditioner, after add ition of fertilizing components - nitrogen, potassium and phos phorus.
