The Secret
Ingredient in Cooking
by Bill Polh
From Congressman

SALT II - ANOTHER STEP TOWARD SURRENDER
Beer is the oldest food
product known to man. Through
the years man has discovered
many different ways to brew it.
The most popular beer in the
United States is the lager beer.
The word lager is taken from a
German term-“Lagem"-which
means “to store.” Any beer
that is aged is defined as a lager
beer. The problem is that if a
brewery ages its beer for ONE
DAY, it may be called a lager
beer! There is no rule or law
governing the amount of time.
Pilsner beer is any light
bodied beer. The first brewery
to every brew a light beer was
the Pilsen Brewery in Pilsen,
Czechoslovakia. This beer was
called PILSNER URQUELL,
hence the term "pilsner.” The
first brewery in the USA to brew
a pilsner-type beer was Coors.
Porter: There is no evidence
as to where the name came
from. It was originally made for
or chiefly drunk by porters and
the lower class of labourers.
Porter is a much darker beet
and much more bitter. Alcohol
content is about 10% by weight.
Stout: much like porter but
not as bitter, stronger in alcohol
content than porter and much
-sweeeter.
Bock Beer: the term origin-
ated in Bock, Germany. “Bock”
is the word for GOAT. Bock
Beer, brewed in the fall, served
in the spring. It is a heavy
syrupy type beer not too popular
in the USA. Only one or two
brewers make it today, and it is
only available in the spring.
Ale: slightly heavier bodied-
and higher in alcohol content.
Regular beer, as we know it
today, is bottom fermented at
40° F to 50° F and the yeast
settles to the bottom. Ale is
fermented at higher tempera-
tures, and the yeast rises to the
top. The alcohol content of ale
will run about 5% by weight,
whereas the popular American
beers do not exceed 4% alcohol
by weight.

Class of 19S9
To Hold Meeting
The West High School
graduating class of 1959,
will have a meeting, concerning
the 20 year class reunion April
23rd at 7 p.m. at the home of
Lillie Marie Matus, Route 1,
Box 44, West, Texas. (Phone
826-5627).
Mr. and Mrs. Donald
Lammert and daughter of
Crawford visited Sunday with
Mrs. Albina Svrcek.
Perhaps the most im-
portant issue that will be
considered by the 96th Con-
gress during 1979 will be the
upcoming SALT II agree-
ment, So important is this
new agreement to the
American way of life that it
demands a true national
debate. The fundamental
question must be recon-
sidered: Does the United
States dare rely on a
strategic arms control
agreement with the Soviet
Union for its security and
survival?
Since the early 1960’s
when U.S. strategists made
the decision that it was in
the best interest of the
United Stales to unilaterally
disarm and thereby indicate
to the Soviets that we had
no intentions of war, the
basic defense posture of the
United States around the
world has deteriorated con-
sistently and drastically. In
1979, we find ourselves
trailing the Russians in vir-
tually every category of
strategic and conventional
defense.
Today, the United
States has only 2,124
strategic offensive delivery
vehicles, compared to 3,736
by the Soviets. The United
Stales has only 309 strategic
defensive weapons, com-
pared to a total of 14,664 by
the Soviet Union.
Not only does the
United Stales find itsell to-
day totally inferior in both
strategic offensive and
defensive weapons, but we
also find ourselves even
more inferior in numbers ol
major conventional ground
force weapons and inven-
tories. Today, the United
Stales has some 10,000
tanks, as compared to
50.000 by the Soviets; some
22.000 army personnel car-

by the Soviets; some 5,000
artillery pieces, as com-
pared to 20,(XX) by the
Soviets; some 3,(XX) heavy
mortars, as compared to
7,(XX) by the Soviets.
The United States has
somewhere in the
neighborhood of two
million men in our armed
forces, compared to four
million, eight hundred
thousand in the armed
forces of the Soviet Union.
It will be argued that the
United States today, with
rising costs and tremendous
inflation, simply cannot af-
ford to spend money on
defense; but that we must
instead spend this money on
increased social programs
and welfare.
If the American people
are willing to buy these
arguments, then it is my
considered judgment that
we may as well resign
ourselves to the fact that we
are indeed engaging in
nothing more than a phased
surrender program.
There is no question in
my mind that if the United
States Senate and the over-
whelming opinion of our
people would bring about a
substantial defeat of the
SALT II proposals that it
would indicate to the Soviet
Union that this country no
longer intends to sit idly by
and relinquish our freedom
by default. Quite the con-
trary, I believe it is im-
perative that we move for-
ward with the immediate
development of the new
MX missile system, that we
move ahead immediately in
the development of new
strategic bombers and that
we indicate to the Soviets
that we indeed intend to
hall this policy of phased
unilateral disarmament.

To the Editor:
On behalf of the 25,000
“imperfect" babies born each
year in America, the Heart of
Texas Chapter of the March of
Dimes wishes to express its
heartfelt thanks to the people of
West, Whitney and the sur-
rounding areas who participated
in the West Walk-a-thon on
March 2.
We also wish to commend the
extraordinary efforts of Mr.
Bobby Walton, without whose
tireless footwork the walk would
not have been possible; Mrs.
U.J. Lundy, who collected the
refreshments and provided the
starting point; American Legion
Post 478, West; Veterans of
Foreign Wars, West, Post 4819;
the American Legion Post 522,
VFW Post 8571 and DAV Post in
Whitney; the Honorable Adolph
Muska. Mayor of West; and Mr.
Bob Lilly, who led off the
parade.
A grand total of $1820 raised
in the Walkathon will go toward
the fight against birth defects, a
tight which will be won only by
the work of dedicated volunteers
like these.
During the coming year, the
March of Dimes will be using
the funds to carry on important
research to find cures and
preventions for the many
crippling birth defects, and to
train competent medical per-
sonnel. We also will provide
educational programs to the
communities we serve, since
many birth defects can be
prevented through proper edu-
cation to the expectant mother.
Sincerely yours,
Barry W. Walker
Executive Director
