Springfield hosts
Edwin Edwards
Just outside of Greater Poncha-
toula's sister town of Springfield, a
massive 6,000 plus people turnout
for Governor Edwin W. Edwards was
held. On assignment, this reporter
was there with tape recorder and
camera.
Cars were parked a mile in either
direction of the function. Joining
Springfield Mayor Dewey Ratcliff,
who was content to look on, were Lt.
Coy. Bobby Freeman, Senators Se-
vario, Nunez and Cross, Representa-
tives Diez and Blount, Mayor
Hoover, Clerk of Court candidate
Buddy Ratcliff, Police Juror Larry
Arceneaux, Public Service Commis-
sioner Luis Lambert, and Livingston
Parish Sheriff Odom Graves who
also had his band there providing the
music.
Officially billed as a birthday party
for Edwards, it impressed this re-
porter as being a revival of area
Democrats. Conspicuous by their
absence were area candidates Dennis
Hebert, Patrick McGibboney, and
Lucius Patterson.
Officials Knock "Mean Treen"
Most of the elected officials spoke to
the huge crowd. One can condense
all their messages into a few words:
Governor Treen doesn't care for the
elderly and the poor. Treen is
unreachable. Treen is the real thief:
what happened to the huge surplus
of money Governor Edwards left the
state with when his last term ex-
pired? If you want to get Louisiana
progressing again, vote for Edwin
Edwards. ',
In a nutshell, that's how it was.

sive electronic systen to address this
problem. With you and I working

problem and prevent any furture loss
of life, injury or property damage.

Fleet: Things Will Be
Better Under Edwards
When we asked why Fleet wanted to
be on the police jury another term,
Fleet said that he felt that a new
governor would solve the parish's
financial troubles. In fact, Juror Fleet
told this reporter on tape that he is
supporting Edwin Edwards for
governor.
If Appreciation Equal to Re-election
William Fleet is the only black on
the Tangipahoa Parish Police Jury.
As such he does have an unique posi-
tion. He is one of those with a vote on
how to handle jury funds. He has had
some successe and some finanolal
failure. Will a new governor solve the
police jury's bankruptcy problems?
Will William Fleet be appreciated
enough to be re-elected? When we
know. you will know.

A progress report on the completion of
LP&Es 1983 refund of the Texaco settlement
CHECKS NOW ING
PROCESSED FOR REMAINING
CUSTOMERS DUE REFUNDS
Approximately 500,000 checks have been
mailed in the second phase of LP&L's refund of the
Texaco settlement, which began July 28th. Still to be
processed are some 70,000 checks covering the refund
forms already returned by customers to LP&L, plus
checks for additional forms which are still being re-
ceived. These refund checks cover customers who have
received electric service between December 30, 1982
back through January, 1977.
Since all of these forms must be processed
manually, additional time is required to complete the re-
fund information needed on these accounts. Processing
is being handled on a daily basis and checks mailed
each week until all refunds for 1983 are complete.
Note: Texaco did not curtail gas delivery to
LP&L during 1978, therefore there are no refunds due
for that year.
This first year's refund effort has been a
major undertaking and we appreciate your patience
and cooperation.
