Field Street, Monday, Feb. 22,
with members of the Mary-Mar-
tha Sunday School Class of the
Fy-fet Baptist Church as her
guests. Although Mrs. Neff is
one of the busiest women in
town, she does not neglect her
church. Besides being an ex-
pert at h rework at Gonvair,
she also proved she is an ex-
cellent cook, as she furnished
and prepared all the food for
this luncheon. After the meal,
Mrs. Steeft brought an in in-
teresting devotional. Those pre-
sent were: Mmes,.Steel, W. C.
Mosley, Ben Hill, L. H. Hard-
grove, Gurney People, T. E.

Bob Jett Entertains
Women Of
Eumathian Club
Lone Star Gas Employee Bob
Jett, in the form of Wiley Wing-
nut, entertained die women of
the Eumathian Club Wednesday,
February 20 in the home of
Mrs. Carolyn Winn.
After his humorous presenta-
tion, he answered serious ques-
tions from the audience about
the energy situation.
Nancy Jones was chairman of
the day for the program topic,
“A Woman Conserves.” Roll
cal was ‘a primitive energy
source.’ >
During the business meeting,-
members indicated that they
would be agreeable to working
with other community organi-
zations to refurbish and main-

I like what the old rancher
said when the salesman stop-
ped aside the road where he
was fixing fence. The stranger
ask the way to so-and-so’s place
and the rancher laid it out fer
him, creek by creek, ranch by
ranch and turn by turn. “You
must of lived here all your
life,” the salesman said as he
thanked him fer directions.
‘‘Not yet I ain’t,” the randier
allowed.
Mister Editor, I hope I ain’t
lived out here on our little place
all my life quite yet, but I’ve
enjoyed and endured more
years than. I care to recall. I’ve
seen more wonders in my one
lifetime than most civilizations
ever see, and most of em have
been fer the better. Americans
right now live better than any
people since day one, took as a
whole, and when you try to
balance the scale you find that
even most of the bad started
out with good in mind. I try not
to let Ed Doolittle sway my
thinking more than- necessary
at the sessions at die country
store, but as I git older I wor-
ry about finding myself agree-
ing with Ed more.
Practical speaking, I don’t
see no way to slow down Guv-
ernment, and the reason is that
ever time we have a problem
that’s where we run fer help.
In my lifetime I’ve saw Guvern-
ment agencies git control of
credit, crops, power, pork, pri-
ces, production, roads, rent and
retirement, just to scratch the
surface. Then I saw where most
states had “sunset commis-
sions” that was suposed to do
away with agencies we don’t
need. That ray of hope faded
quick when we learned that the
regulating boards they want, to
kill are the ones that regulate
theirselves without Guvernment
involved, like batbers, watch-
makers and landscapers. Now
it looks like there ain’t noth-
ing left to control after the
law come down on how hot and
cold we can be. The last thing,
it looks like, is the hereafter,
to
see
re having so much
ndertakers saying

uvemment again
