such a traffic device would cause

"Right now our policy is that cities

said.

City records show six accidents at

and eight in 1976.
The highest number of accidents
are recorded at State Highway 183 and
Ector Drive.
"It would be impossible for the city
to install sign signals at all five places
at one time," she said.
The city does not have money to
install signal lights at every location
which warrants signalization according
to state studies, she added.
WHEN GRAZETTI presented his

He said it takes about 10 minutes
to cross the intersection onto FM 157
and that students' lives are threatened
by the traffic situation.
Grazetti said Wednesday afternoon
that the intersection should be granted
signalization before other high priority
areas,because of the interest of local ci-
tizens.
"Other places may have had more
accidents. But none of the other areas
had had the concern of almost 1,000 ci-
tizens of Euless," he said.

Star-Telegram Mid-Cities Bureau

EULESS—So she told you she was off to a Tupperware party Tuesday and you
believed it. She didn't bring home any pastel plastic bowls, did she?
Of course not. While you sat sprawled in front of the tube with bulging beer
belly,she sat goggled-eyed, watching a gyrating G-string. We got trouble,my
friends. We got trouble right here in Euless.
Men, if you've noticed your wife or girlfriend or sister or mother strangely
absent the past two Tuesday nights,you can probably blame it on Captain's Den
here.
Male strippers packed the house, and you thought "that kind of thing" only
' happens in the big city.Wrong.It is here.But take heart,the folks at Captain's
Den say it may be only a temporary thing.The three dancers have packed their
G-strings and have hoofed it back to Dallas from whence they came.
"The ladies were a;� tle timid at first,but after a while they really got into it
and started whistling and clapping," said Cindy McKinzie, manager of the
restaurant-bar-disc o-and-now-thi s.
She said all the men were asked to vacate the premises at 8 p.m. and not to
come back until 10 p.m. Women, 200 strong, poured into the darkened lounge
with a mere$2 ticket. (You would think the price to peek would be more.Two
dollars will only buy 2 gallons of gas, you know.)
For the next two hours the three men alternated dancing to the rhythms of the
disco beat.Once the women warmed to the occasion,they began tucking neatly-
folded fives and tens into the briefs of the dancers,which explains the deficit you
noticed in the cookie jar, right?
"They all were really fantastic dancers," says Ms. McKinzie. "The ladies
really enjoyed it I thought.They didn't do anything obscene.I think most of them
came just because of the novelty of the thing. They had heard about all the
crowds at the clubs in Dallas and Fort Worth and they just wanted to see what it
was all about. I enjoyed it,but it's not something I would regularly come back
to."
She said the three dancers were all handsome types,and one was a particular-
ly good dancer.He came out in tight shiny black pants and suspenders,danced a
bit,then went backstage to take off his pants.Upon his return to the floor,he was
wearing an immodest G-string that covered the front but left the back door open
for view, she said.
One of the more popular dancers earned more than$300 in tips,plus they all
received a small percentage of the total cash receipts,Ms.McKinzie said.
Club owner Sue Knight of Colleyville said she doesn't know if the club will
feature male dancers again. She plans to open another club in Fort Worth soon
that will have men strippers.
"I was really surprised by the age group of the women and the fact that they
were all well-dressed.There were a lot of women in the 30-to 50•yearold range,"
Ms. Knight said.
Ms. Knight said she decided to feature male strippers because it is more
' acceptable now.Many of the women who came to the club had said they didn't
want to go into Dallas or Fort Worth to see men strippers.
The dancers are from Dallas and work for the same people who own the
popular Le Bare clubs.
"t asked one of the dancers how long he had been in the business,and he said,
'One week.'He said his father was a Baptist preacher and really didn't want him
to dance, but when he told his father he was making $400 a week, he didn't
complain anymore," Ms. Knight said.
Captain's Den is the first club in Northeast Tarrant County to feature male
strippers. Other club managers contacted said they had no plans to have men
strippers, but they suspect it will eventually become common here.

point, such as runoff from land or streets,
he said.
A conceivable effect of the bill, accord- R
ing to Lynch, is that water from urban '
storm sewers would have to be purified di-
rectly as it comes from its lines, before it
has a chance to enter water reservoirs.
A stringent requirement on storm
sewer water purity would probably also
cause other expenses, Lynch said, such as
that of keeping streets much more dust-
free than they are now.
As Mrs. McCormick pointed out, this
cost would ultimately come from the pock-
ets of utility users.
