Atlanta Paper Firm Gets Water Rights ATLANTA Water supply for International Paper Companys' proposed 97 million dollar mill in northeast Cass County received clearance from the Texas Water Rights Commission. Action was taken by the commission after James Wilson, Austin attorney for International, presented to the commission a clarified contract which the commission last week had requested. The approved contract between International and the City of Texarkana gives the company permission to use 120,000 acre feet of water per year from Lake Texarkana.

The permit granted to International by the water rights commission provides that the company must start construction within 90 days and complete it within the next two years. International will be allowed to use 40,300,000 gallons of water a day for operation of the plant and may use such part as is needed from the remaining allocation for use to dilute the plant's effluent sufficiently pass state stream pollution regulations. Under the terms of the permit, the City of Texarkana will build the pumps, pipeline and treatment plant to supply water for the plant, and the water for pollution control will be released in the river from the Lake Texarkana Dam. International will recompense the City of Texarkana for the water it uses. Plans for the water diversion and treatment must be approved by the water rights commission, and the company must keep the commission informed as to its schedule for storage of water at the plant and measurement of flows and releases from the stream for water quality, or pollution, control.

Still to be secured from the State of Texas is a pollution permit from the Texas Water Quality Board, of which Gordon Fulcher, editor and publisher of the Citizens Journal, is a member. Fulcher said that he had checked on International's application for a permit from the water quality board recently and learned that it had been laying dormant several months for the lack of prosecution by the company.

DEAR ABBY: What do you think of a mother who will not let her 16-year-old daughter do volunteer work in a local hospital, because she figures if the girl wants to work for nothing, there is plenty of work for her to do around the house! Abby, that mother is mine, and I don't think she has the right to tell me whether or not I can work for nothing. I want to do something worthwhile with my time, and I know I would like hospital work. Besides, hospitals NEED volunteer help.

It's not like I don't do anything around the house, either. I do, but I think I should be able to do what I want to do in spare time, don't you! Please put your answer in the paper so my mother can see it. WANTS TO WORK DEAR WANTS: I agree that young people who want to do volunteer work should not be discouraged. But I problem is that you and your mother need a clearer understanding as to what your home duties are and how much you have. Once that is cleared up, I think you should be allowed to do as much volunteer work as you wish.

DEAR ABBY: 1 Please print this for the benefit of the 16-yearold girl who inquired about the advisability of opening a joint bank account with her "fiance." A few years ago I was planning marriage with a "very sweet girl." To insure our future financial security, we opened a joint savings account, to which we both made regular deposits from our respective paychecks. I was called into service, and during my absence my "sweet girl" drew all the money out of our account in order to marry another guy. When a person is in love, he can't believe it could happen to HIM, but since it happened to ME, I hope you will advise all young lovers to save the business until they are joined together legally in marriage. BEEN THERE 0 0000 DEAR ABBY: I am only 13, but I would like to express my feeling in regard to the widow who was mad because she got a bill for her husband's operation after he had died on the operating table. My father is a surgeon and sometimes he stands under those hot lights and sweats for anywhere to 3 to 12 hours at a time, and if she doesn't think that's hard work she is out of her ever lovin' mind.

There have been days when my father has had one emergency after another and he didn't get more than 3 hours sleep in 2 days. I am not even mentioning the strain on him when he knows he has a person's life in his hands. advice to that woman is to pay the bill and shut up her My big mouth. I am sure the doctor did everything he could to save her husband, and anyway, maybe it was the Lord's will that he died. Abby, I hope you won't think I am unrespectful in the language I used in this letter, but I am pretty heated up over this.

No one realizes how hard most doctors work. A DOCTOR'S DAUGHTER 0 01 Everybody has a problem. What's yours? For a personal reply write to Abby, Box 69700, Los Angeles, 90069 and enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope. 0 0000 FOR ABBY'S NEW BOOKLET "WHAT TEEN-AGERS WANT TO KNOW." SEND $1.00 TO ABBY, BOX 69700, LOS ANGELES, CAL. 90069.

He said that he would expect, in view of the water rights commission's action, that International shortly would start activity toward an action by the water quality board on a pollution permit. The water rights commission's action in granting the permit apparently cleared the last hurdle in securing a supply of water in so far as the state is concerned.
