Dear edilar
ApcordinK to the syndicated
columnists in all the newspapers
I've gotten hold of lately, the
bin Issue in the 1971? Presidential
election will he economics, a
fairly safe prediction in view of
the fact economics has boon the
main issue in elections since
elections were invented
In commenting on the current
economic situation, one column-
ist, afti r citing thi' alarming rale
of inflation, unemployment, de-
ficit-spending, etc . with the na-
tional liudKct over-shot by 25 bil-
lion dollars, said "something is
wrong when the government's
chief financial officers can't come
within S ot 10 billion dollars of
estimating how much the Rovern-
ment will spend "
I don't know anything about
such matters .is the rate of in-
flation, the economic index or
the cosl-of-livinu index, all I've
Bastrop Saddle
Club News
Now that everything, I hope,
is over except the memories,
maybe we can get back In the
saddle again and ride-ride-ride.
Apollo 15 has been to the
moon and back, the VEE sent
lots of horses to greener pas-
tures along the border and Into
old Mexico, not saying anything
about having a few thousand
horse owners scared clear out
of their wits. We sure owe
thanks to our wonderful vets
around here for working so
faithfully and getting our horses
vaccinated here in Bastrop and
the surrounding Communities.
My own "ole" Son got a re-
action from the shot and was
a pretty sick ole pony for a
few days but he is up and at
this beautiful green grass that
all this long waited - for rain
brought fourth.
The Homecomeing was a won-
derful success, so the memories
linger on. Now saddle up, every-
body, and come on out to the
Arena Tuesday night at 7:30 and
every Tuesday night there after
until further notice. The Arena
is in fine shape; tlianks for the
rain. The lights are up, and
plans arc being made for the
P. A system to be installed soon.
Applications for membership
will also be available real soon.
See you - all Tuesday at
7:30 p.m.

BASTROP (TEXAS) ADVERTISER, AUGUST 12, 1971
ASk
WORK IS IN illt,ll (iKAIt on the new Pincwood Inn Restaurant and Motel
at Clear Lake Inn s Resort development near La Grange
got out here is a thermometer
that's two are three degrees off
and a rain gauge with the mark-
ings too rusty to read, although
I can tell you whether it's hot or
cold outside and whether 1 need
a rain or not.
But what interested me was
that columnist's not hi ing able
to understand how the govern-
ment can't come within 8 or 10
billion dollars of estimating how
much it will spend in the next
12 months
It's easy. For example, at the
start of the year how was I to
know my hot water heater was
going out two months after the
warranty ran out, and how could
Washington know it was going
to have to pay for vaccinating 2
million horses against sleeping
sickness at $1 a shot?
I didn't know the transmission
on my car was going to fall
apart at a cost of $1IS9, any more
than Washington knew that Look-
herd was going to tap it for 250
million dollars.
And so it noes If it's not one
thing it's another Anybody with
kids and appliances, like a gov-
ernment with 200 million citizens,
is in for 12 months of unanticipa-
tablc expense.
Maybe that columnist can sit
down at the start of the year
and tell you what's going to hap-
pen to him in a financial sort
of way, hut me and Washington
have never been able to figure
it out Which one of your presses
is going to break down next ?

Arena
Dust
By Bill Henderson
I would like to start off this
week by telling all you people
that have called and said how
much you liked the Homecom-
ing Kodeo that I really appre-
ciate your letting me know. And
to answer the question that most
of you asked, as far as I know
at this time we will have a
calf scramble next year.
I received word this morning
that the Play day that was
scheduled for the 14th of this
month at Elgin has been can-
celled, the reason being that
they have a Jack Pot roping
on the 13th so they figure that
two days of it back to back
is just too much. At this time
the next scheduled horse gather-
ing is on the 28th at Elgin.
This is their annual Western
Day celebration and will start
off with a parade downtown be-
ginning at 10 a.m. with the horse
show scheduled to take place at
2 p.m. In the Lost Pines Arena.
The Bastrop Family Rodeo
Club lias an ice cream supper
scheduled for the 22nd of this
month at the arena and at that
time we will try to have the
new saddle blankets and the
breast collars ready for every-
one to see. We voted to buy
these at the last meeting and
they will remain the property
of the club and will be used
by the members that are going
to represent us at the various
parades and rodeos around the
country. We are very proud of
the fine collection of ribbons
that our youngsters brought
home at the last parade and we
arc going to be in there try-
ing for that blue one at Elgin.
I would like to take this op-
portunity to say how sorry I
am to Lori Lent?, and to Pooh
Bennight for leaving your names
off the list in last week's paper.
These two very fine young ladies
played a big part in the club
winning the award for the best
mounted group.
There are plans in the mill
at this time to have a two day
rodeo on the hill. This show
will take place on Thanks-
giving week end, if everything
works out right. I will try to
keep you informed as to the
progress of this show.
Some of us feel that in the
future the net Income from the
concession stand will rise by
about 10without an increase
in prices. There are plan.- for
three club parties at this time.
More about them as the time
gets close. CON I)It>S
Commercially speaking, the
iMiglas lit is more valuable than
ins other tree.
Hospital
Auxiliary
Fourteen volunteers spent 39
hours of service at the Bastrop
Memorial Hospital during this
past week. For the preceding
week, 30 hours were volunteered
by Auxiliary members.
Members of the Bastrop Mem-
orial Hospital Auxiliary work
in shifts at the Hospital with
regular times ranging from once
a week to once a month, or as
called upon to substitute for a
regular worker. Shifts are from
! to 12 and 2 to a each day.
Two v o I u n t e e r s per shift are
ideal, but many time slots now
are filled by one worker, leaving
a number of openings for new
members.
Anyone who lias a lew spare
hours and a desire to be of
service is invited to join the
Hospital Auxiliary. This would
be a good time for mothers
whose children will be going to
school soon to set aside a time
in their fall schedules to serve
tlteir community. Please call
Mrs. Georgia Schneider at 229-
2197 for further information.
Third Section of (Hear Lake
Pines On Sale Sunday, Aujs. 15
V, A, "Boss" Hrbacek, de-
veloper of Clear Lake Pines,
and Phil Bradley, planner and
Sales Director of that resort

spirits this week. They an-
nounced that the first two sec-
tions of Clear Lake Pines had
been sold (Kit and the third sec-
tion will be offered for sale for
the first time Sunday, August 15.
Clear Lake Pines is the re-
sort development tiiat Hrbacek
opened just one year ago. The
property is located in the pine
belt of Fayette County near Win-
chester. FM Road 153 joins Ilwj
77 at Hobratsch's Store, between
Giddings and La Grange. Clear
Lake Pines is on FM 153, just
4 miles west of Hwy 77.
Bradley says that the property
has sold faster than had been
expected. He says the natural
beauty of the property, the large
lots and the reasonable prices
have accounted for the unusually
fast pace of sales. He pointed
out that it is a "family type"
development, designed for fam-
ily fun.
Hrbacek reports that he is
building a restaurant and motel
at the development. BennieNiet-
sche Is the general contractor
on the project and the restaurant
should be ready to open about
September 1st. "The Boss"says

try cousin" of his Cottonwood
Inn Restaurant and Motel In L.a
Grange.
Bradley said that the sales
office on the property is open
seven days a week.
