-TV cr- The low water conditions noted at Henderson several weeks ago reminded many fishermen of more frequent incidents of low water before the Henderson Control Structure was completed during the winter of 1969-70. This picture, taken In October 1969 at what was then Robin's Landing, shows how the area along the levee had dried up, with the water level falling almost 15 feet below conditions that had existed during June of that year. The low water was caused by a combination of very low river stages and a lack of rainfall. The Henderson Control Structure is now closed when the Atchafalaya River drops, preventing water in Henderson Lake from falling below seven feet.

ple were, instead of being proud that one of our parish teams would get that far. Above anything else that happened Friday night was what the adults did in the pressbox. Messing up the music for the Cecilia cheerleaders' routine was unexcusable. The equipment worked fine before and after their routine. It had been talked about at school that this was supposed to happen.

However, we thought surely the "adults would have more respect for our young adults than to do something so childish. They should be reprimanded and never be allowed in the pressbox again. A Bulldog fan. Katrina Collette occurred if they had had enough sense to send someone to the pressbox to properly handle the equipment and introduce their squad. Thank God the Breaux Bridge fans had the dignity and class not to boo when this occurred: no telling what the outcome might have been.

I hope that the principal of Cecilia High School has the good sense to take disciplinary action against the four cheerleaders whose sportsmanship, spirit, morals and class were definitely lacking. In closing. I would like to congratulate both teams on a game well played, and Cecilia on their win.

If, as president of Teche I Bank, he practices this same philosophy, I know that his customers are gratefully loyal; the business will continue to prosper. Too often kindness goes unacknowledged.
