Lewisville Teachers Adopt Constitution At Meeting LEWISVILLE-The local chapter of the Texas State Teachers A i a i gathered for the last meeting of year Jast week and approved a new constitution elected new officers and delegates to various conventions. The proposal for a new constitution evolved as a result of a secret ballot by teachers which indicated that the majority is in favor of forming one local teacher organization separate from the administration. The new constitution was passed unanimously by the approximately 100 teachers present at the meeting.

The following members of the organization were elected as officers for the City's Mayor Disappointed LAKE DALLAS Mayor Ron Vanzura said this week he is disappointed in the small amount of money collected to date for the volunteer fire department. In February, the four cities of Lake Dallas, Corinth, Hickory Creek and Shady Shores entered into a mutual the responsibility.forcollecting the Vanzura said a total of $2,265 has been collected so far. The said he is disappointed because the Lake Dallas share of the $27,000 fire department budget is calculated to be around $13.200. Creek and Shady' Shores are responsible for the balance of $14,000.

Croix Says Poisoning Is Possible Stockmen should be on the alert for sand shin o'ak poisoning in their livestock, Alfred Croix, county extension agent for the Texas A i a Extension Service says. Sand shin oak is toxic to livestock when the plant first buds in the spring. And, with the plant beginning to bud, stockmen should keep livestock out of pastures where sand shin oak is abundant or they should take other steps to reduce losses from possible poisoning, Croix said. One such measure is to provide a good supplementary feed, he added.

Feed containing calcium hydroxide is more effective. Studies have shown that a feed containing 10 percent calcium hydroxide (by weight) protects calves fed post oak free-choice. Post oak has toxins similar to shin oak. The Texas Agricultural Experiment Station has developed a ration that has proved effective in warding off sand shin oak poisoning. It contains 600 pounds of ground alfalfa, 1,080 pounds of 41 per cent cottonseed meal and 120 pounds of vegetable oil.

Cows should receive about four pounds a day, says Croix. The agent notes that sand shin oak poisoning can be very serious in livestock if left uncontrolled. Annual losses in Texas have been estimated at more than SIO million. And, with grazing conditions short in many counties this spring, livestock wjJJ be more prone to graze the toxic sand shin oak. next school year: Janet Kelly, president; Schuyler Stuckey, president-elect; Cheryl Shirley, secretary; i treasurer; Brenda Maenza, Faculty coordinator.
