ADVERTISE IN THE HERALD!
DALLAS, Texas — Clarifi-
cation of procedures for farm-
ers and ranchers to use in filing
forms for fuel allocations were
issued today by Delbert M.
Fowler of Dallas, Regional Ad-
ministrator for the Southwest
Region of the Federal Energy
Office (FEO).
“First of all I want to em-
phasize that the farmer should
make every effort to solve his
problem through his individual
supplier,” Fowler said.
“The farmer or rancher is en-
titled to 100 percent of his cur-
rent requirements, and his sup-
plier should see to it that his fuel
is delivered,” Fowler con-
tinued.
“But I also want to emphasize
this does not exempt the farmer
or rancher from using conser-
vation measures like everyone
else,” Fowler noted, adding the
warning, “This status can be
taken away just as easily as it
was given if the privilege is
abused.”
There are two instances
where a person involved in agri-
cultural production would apply
directly to the FEO regional
office, using FEO Form 17:
1. If he qualifies as a whole-
sale purchaser (he buys 20,000
gallons or more annually), and
none of the suppliers he has con-
tacted are willing to accept him
as a new customer as they are
obligated to do under the regu-
lations, he has the desired sup-
plier fill out block 12 on the FEO
Form 17 and sends the Form 17
application to the Dallas or
other appropriate regional FEO
office asking that he be as-
signed to a supplier.
2. If he qualifies as a whole-
sale purchaser, and he and his
supplier cannot agree on the
base period allocation volumes
to be provided, he has his sup-
plier indicate the disagreement
in block 12 on the Form 17 and
sends the Form 17 application to
the Dallas or other appropriate
regional FEO office for resolu-
tion.
There are two instances when
a person involved in agricul-
tural production would apply
directly to his state allocation
office. If he encounters either of
the two situations described
above, but is an end-user who
does not qualify as a wholesale
purchaser, he would apply to
the state officer on FEO Form
20 for assignment of adjust-
ment, rather than to the re-
gional office.
All of these situations relate
to longer term sctions. If in the
short term, the farmer or
rancher is out of fuel and is a
hardship case, he contacts his
state allocation office and
makes application on FEO
Form 20.
It is not necessary for the
farmer or rancher who does not
qualify as a sholesale purchaser
to submit any form unless he
finds himself in one of the situa-
tions described above. If his
retailer or supplier asks for cer-
tification of this requirement,
an ordinary letter should suf-
fice.
The address of the regional
FEO office is: Federal Energy
Office, P.O. Box 2263, DaUas,
Texas 75221.
The office of the state allo-
cation office is: State Allocation
Office, P.O. Box 12577, Capital
Station, Austin, Texas 78711.
Talent Program Hailed One of Best
The program was very successful with a big crowd in at-
tendance. The wonderful local talent, outstanding as it always has
been and is for a small community the size of Harper, presented
interesting and entertaining numbers. This talent show, for the
benefit of the Harper School, again proved that whatever the goal
is, the people of this community and surrounding area ‘pitch in’
and work together as a unit for the success of such an event.
Following are a few polaroid photos taken by Mrs. Joan
Lennon at the Harper School Benefit Talent Show held Saturday
night at the cafetorium:

A lot of our troubles in this
country can be attributed to ex-
tremism — that is, a tendency
to grab an idea we like and then
go overboard with it.
Take pollution, for example.
A few years ago it suddenly be-
came stylish to do something
over-night about water and air
pollution. Every sensible person
likes clean air and clean water,
but the alarmists and extrem-
ists were not content to allow
the necessary time to achieve
the objectives.
Up popped such super lobby-
ists as Ralph Nader, with his
Raiders, and John Gardner,
with his Common Cause, whose
appeals brought in millions of
dollars to finance their lawsuits
and lobby activities. They and
others were determined to write
the laws and set the pace for
enforcement. In that they were
partially successful. They ran
herd on Congress and State
legislatures, cluttered court-
houses with litigation, and
threatened defeat for any law-
maker who didn’t agree with
them and their methods.
Environmental pressure
caused the Alaska pipeline,
capable of moving 2 million
barrels per day, to be delayed
several years.
Use of coal was restricted be-
cause of too much sulphur con-
tent.
Many new oil refineries were
delayed or stopped by EPA or
by lawsuits.
Offshore drilling for oil came
under attack, causing costly de-
lays and preventing new discov-
eries of needed petroleum. Off-
shore ports capable of handling
big oil tankers were delayed.
Emission controls on motor
vehicles were ordered by EPA,
which upped gasoline consump-
tion around 30 percent, when far
more time was needed to find
better methods for achieving
this objective.
And so, today, the chickens
are coming home to roost.
Gasoline and other fuel con-
sumers are paying a big price
for ideas and methods gener-
ated by the overly-eager ex-
tremists.
Henpecked: “Doctor, my
wife’s dislocated her jaw. If you
are out our way some time next
week you might drop in and see
her.”
