Investigating the problem at
the time is Vince Incardona
Deputy Sheriff, McLennan
County Sheriff’s Department.
The West Police Department is

party," comments Chief of

some cows or has information
that could help us can contact

West Mayor, Joseph F.
Holasek and city councilmen
voted to adopt the Texas State
Motor Vehicle Laws for the city

These laws cover such infrac-

loud pipes and mufflers, illegal

"These laws will be enforc-
ed," stressed Chief of Police
Jim Favors.
"Too many of our accidents
have been from failure to stop at
a stop sign.
"Another frequent infraction
is unnecessary use of horn,” he
added. “A car horn is a warning
device and should be used for no
other purpose."

SLAP’S First
Anniversary
INVESTIGATING OFFICERS— Constable Raymond Volctk, Deputy Vince Incardona and West Chief of Police Jim Favors.
The Senior Luncheon Activity
Program (SLAP) celebrated its
first anniversary in West last
week.
of "The West program has done
a beautiful job,” complimented
Mary Waldrop, Rural Coordina-
tor. “We are extremely proud
of you.”
The program in West has
been successful in many ways.
It provides educational pro-
grams, entertaining programs,
arts and crafts for many of
Wests Senior Citizens.
Shopping trips and trips
visiting other SLAP centers in
McLennan County are also a
part of the agenda.
Slap is a nation-wide program
having 665 projects serving
approximately 211,000 meals to
Senior Citizens five days a
week. Money for the projram
comes from the federal govern-
ment, but Meals-on-Wheels is
supported by citizens of West.
Donations for meals are usually
25c per senior and $1.03 for
guests and they are returned to
the program to cover rising food
costs.
Without SLAP many of
West’s seniors would suffer a
great injustice and some might
go hungry. "Slap is not a
poverty program, but rather a
Senior Center for folks over 60,"
explained Mrs. Waldrop. It is a
very worthwhile program in the
West community.
A Meals-on-Wheels program
supported with local money is
also a part of the program.
Shut-ins are provided 3 meals
each week by volunteers who do
all of the cooking, cleaning, and
meal delivering. Meals are
provided 5 days a week at the
First Methodist Church on Pine
Street.

Jay Howe to Randy McKee
The Rockets gained possessor
at their 35 after the ensuing
kickoff after West's score. The
two-points conversion fell
short, and West led at the
quarter 7-6.
The Trojans built up a
14-point lead at the half with
two second-period touchdowns
David Snokhous passed eight
yards to Kenheth Taylor on the
seventh play of a 48-yard
drive. Cernoseks kick was
good with 9 minutes remaining
in the half.
Six minutes later, Basil
Housewright hit paydirt for the
home team on a 20-yard
scamper up the middle. It was
the second play of a 21-yard
march. The kick went wide,
and West led 20-6.
The Rockets, not to be de-
nied, tied the count as they
scored the next two TDs.
The first came after a
44-yard, four-play drive that
ended on a 38-yard pass from
Howe to David Brooks. The
pass for points was no good.
The tying TD came on a
55-yard pass from Howe to
McKee on the third play after
the previous score. The Rock-
ets used three plays to go 65
yards. Glenn Tucker then ran
the PAT to knot the score at
20-20.
But just before the third
period concluded, West
marched 67 yards in four plays
with Snokhous getting the
touchdown on a 13-yard
keeper. Again, Cernosek s boot
was on the mark, and the Tro-
jans owned a 27-18 advantage.
The Trojans got the ball
back early in the final stanza
and went 25 yards in five plays
to another six-pointer. Bartosh
scored it on a one-yard rum-
ble. Cernosek tacked on the
PAT, and West was in front to
stay at 34-18.
The Rockets closed the gap
to eight with four minutes to
go as McKee caught another
pass from Howe - this time
for 20 yards. It was a 55-yard
march in five lays.
McKee had five receptions
for 122 yards as the Rockets
totaled 258 through the air-
ways. West, however, had the
big edge on the ground with
294 yards to Robinson’s 42.
