EDITORIAL
Cooperation
We know that we are members of a community. But sometimes our
vision of what that community consists of is limited. And that can
create limits on progress and growth.
While most of us are citizens of formal communities, we are also
members of a larger community. The towns around Cedar Creek Lake
have much in common, which makes all of us a communtiy.
This is one of the fastest growing areas in Texas. It is an area that
holds great promise for those now living here. How well that promise
is fulfilled is up to each of us.
If the residents of the various communities around the Lake become
involved in petty squabbles among themselves, no one will benefit. If,
on the other hand. the people, and the leaders, of these communities
work together to create a better life for all residents of the area,
everyone will benefit, individuals and communities alike.
How can such cooperation be achieved?
One step is for individuals to forget the prejudices against other
nearby communities, realizing that everyone in the area benefits if the
area progresses, and everyone m the area suffers if the area fails to
progress. A gain for any community in this area is a gain for all of us,
not an occasion for jealousy.
An organization exists through which areawide cooperation can
take place. The Cedar Creek Lake Association has shown that area
communities, business firms, and individuals can work together to
benefit the entire region. This organization has done a good job in the
past. With even wider support in this area, it, can do an even better job
in the future.
By having a membership with as wide a base as possible in the
regson will allow the Cedar Creek Lake Association to continue its
present programs and projects, and to expand its activities in the
future.
The Cedar Creek Lake Association has shown that area
communities and individuals can work together to create a better way
of life for everyone in the area. There are other means through which
regional communities can cooperate for the benefit of all, d every
step should be taken to try to explore and implemen such means.
The term "community" is usually used to define a definite
geographical location, such as a town or city, but there can also be a
"community of interest", and those who live in the Cedar Creek Lake
area are members of such a community of interest.
It is to be hoped that everyone m this area will work to support this
community of interest, to the betterment of the entire region.

CAPITAL
AUSTIN, Tex--Texas voters will
decide April 22 in a statewide consti-
tutional amendments election whether
they want to increase retirement
benefits for school teachers and state
employees.
Both houses of the legislature have
agreed on the proposal to lift the
present six percent ceiling on match-
ing state contributions to the pension
funds (replacing it with a 10 percent
limit).
If voters approve, retired teachers
will get boosts in their benefits ranging
from five to 18 percent, and pensioned
state employees will get an additional
12 percent.
Cost of the teacher benefits' raise is
estimated at about $98 million and the
state employees' pension improve-
ments at $21.8 million.
Meanwhile, the House of Represen-
tatives also approved for the April 22
ballot a proposed constitutional change
to raise legislators' pay from $400 to
$600 a month and expense allowances
from $12 to $30 a day for length of a
lawmaking session.
Senators may balk at the pay raise
proposal which has been advanced in
more than half a dozen forms over the
last 15 years, without convincing
voters.
Governor Dolph Briscoe said he will
actively support the legislative pay
raise proposition if the Senate goes
along with submitting it on the April
22 ballot.
A quick recapitulation on emergency
spending matters already before the
fegi'slature (or finally passed) indicates
about $310 million in outlays have been
committed during the first month of
the 64th lawmaking session.
