They left Decem- 3er 17th via train for Oregon City to visit her parents, the Harry Tuthills. Enronte the mountains had a very heavy snow storm and the train they were on was one of two that crossed the cascades. It took an hour to go each mile following the snow plows.

After this very heavy snow, warm rains fell in the mountains and caused the flood. At Oregon City the Clackamas River joins the Willamette River. Predictions were 2' over flood stage but the rivers rose 20' over flood stage the worst since the 1800's. Twenty-eight bridges were destroyed and thousands of homes and businesses. Curtis said he saw 2 and 3 story homes going down the river.

All of the homes of Mrs. Rinn's relatives were high enough to escape damage. Her dad and brothers work for the telephone companie and were working night anr day.

and Mrs. Floyd Paben, of Box 86, Brookshire. LONG SESSION Most observers feel the 59th session may run through the summer. Certainly it will dominate the 1965 Texas political scene. These results seem likely: Lawmakers will spend a record amount of money, much of it to uplift higher education.

Budget proposals both Governor Connally and the Legislative Budget Board awailed Senators and Representatives at their capilol desks. School teachers will gel the $-15 a month pay raise they are asking. But they will have to figure out who is going to foot the bill. A few more exemptions are to be removed from the sales tax. enough to balance the budget, but not enough to burl much.

Commission on II i Education will be reorganized along lines recommended by Governor Connally. But the successor agency may not get all the power Connally would like il lo have. Stormy hearings will be held over legalizing horse race belling and sale of liquor by Ihe drink. Bolh proposals may move farther than they ever have before. Maybe all the way.

A congressional reapportionment bill eventually will be adopted. However, it's difficult to see any agreement on legislative redislricting. Other key issues which will occupy the 59th Legislalure are statewide water planning and financing, oil and gas tract pooling, mental health and tuberculosis programs, criminal code revision, judicial 70.1,155.27 50,000.00 Report of Condition of The Farmers State Bank of Brookshire in the State of Texas at the close of business on December 31, 1961 ASSETS Cash, balances with other banks, and cash items in process of collection United States Government obligations, direct and guaranteed Obligations of States and political subdivisions Corporate stocks (including none stock of Federal Reserve Bank) 5,000.00 Loans and discounts (including $3,159.13 overdrafts) 1,753,379.08 Bank premises owned $18,000.00, furniture and fixtures $5,000.00 23,000.00 TOTAL ASSETS LIABILITIES Demand deposits of individuals, partnerships, and corporations Time and savings deposits of individuals, partnerships, and corporations 997,788.60 Deposits of United States Government (including postal savings) Deposits of States and political subdivisions Deposits of banks Total Deposits Total demand deposits .1,801,150.07 Total time and savings deposits 1,508,911.19 TOTAL LIABILITIES $3,310,061.56 CAPITAL ACCOUNTS Capital: (a) Common stock, total par value $75,000.00 75,000.00 Surplus 75,000.00 Undivided profits 37,731.23 Reserves (arid retirement account for preferred capital) 75,000.00 TOTAL CAPITAL ACCOUNTS 262,731.23 TOTAL LIABILITIES AND CAPITAL ACCOUNTS MEMORANDA Assets pledged or assigned to secure liabilities and other purposes (including notes and bills rediscounted and securities sold with agreement to repurchase) Alois F.
