         RECOGNIZING BEASLEY, TEXAS, VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT

  (Mr. OLSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, Sunday is a weekly day of Christian Sabbath. 
I must confess that last Sunday my Sabbath was not very pious. I toyed 
with one of the seven deadly sins; the sin of gluttony.
  After I went to church, I drove down Interstate 69 to Beasley, Texas, 
and that is where I cracked. But it wasn't my fault. It was purely the 
fault of Tim Sabrsula, who is the chief of the Beasley Volunteer Fire 
Department.
  At 11 a.m. they started selling huge chicken fried chicken plates at 
$10 a plate. The temptation of gluttony was overwhelming; I had to buy 
five plates.
  But Chief Sabrsula was not alone, Beasley Mayor Kenneth Reid joined 
this sinful attack. But I succumbed for a great cause, new equipment 
for the heroes at the Beasley Volunteer Fire Department. Chief Sabrsula 
asked me to close by saying, ``Y'all come next year, you'll be glad you 
did.''
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair will ask Members to observe proper 
decorum in the Chamber.
