ENNIS, ELLIS COUNTY, TEXAS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 1968
VOL. 43 NO. J
Feted at Testimonial Dinner-
VP Joe H. Hawkins Is
Retiring After 58 Yrs.
With Ennis Bus. Forms
“Employees of 25 years or it was a privilege to be associat-
more of service join with the
officers (of Ennis Business
Forms) in wishing Joe Hawkins
much happiness and many gol-
den years to reap the reward he
. has so justly earned.”
Thus read an inscription on a
printed program at places for
the large gathering who attended
a testimonial dinner last night
honoring Joe H. Hawkins, vice-
president, manufacturing con-
sultant, of Ennis Business
Forms, following fifty-eight
years’ service.
The ballroom of Lakeside
Country Club was the scene of
this event, for which President
Len Gehrig served as toastmas-
ter. Director of purchasing W.
D. Murff asked the invocation,
and musical selections were by
James Hart. Attractive guest fa-
vors were at the places.
After the delicious dinner,
served on long, attractively de-
corated tables, tributes were
paid Mr. Hawkins by several of
his associates. Toastmaster Geh-
, rig declared “Joe has been with
us always—even before there
was a business forms company,
in the print shop,” as he told of
his loyal and effective service,
through the many years.
Mr. Gehrig read a telegram
from Executive Vice-President
Homer McElroy, general mana-
ger of the Ennis Business Forms
plant at Birmingham, Ala., ex-
pressing regret that he was un-
able to be present and highly
commending Mr. Hawkins and
speaking of the good influence
Mr. Hawkins has exerted on his
life. Mr. Gehrig said that great
interests of Mr. Hawkins life,
other than his family, were his
religion, his work and the past-
time of hunting. He took occa-
sion to commend Mrs. Hawkins
for being a real partner and
help-meet of her husband.
Mr. Gehrig said that he wish-
ed it were possible for all com-
, pany employees and all Ennis
4 citizens to be present, to share
in this occasion, but space would
not permit, and attendance was
thus limited to officer-manage-
ment and employees with 25 or
more years service.
The theme of Vice-President
James Joly was “We Know Him
Well," as he reminisced about
experiences that had endeared
Mr. Hawkins to his associates,
and he pointed out that in the
58 years, “it was always the
company first.” He also related
some laughable anecdotes. Back
to the serious side, he said: ‘Joe
was always a gentleman and a
Christian.” Vice-president Miller
Powell declared that not only
those with the company but
many other citizens had been
heard, through the years, to
praise Mr. Hawkins and said that
ed with a man held in such es-
teem. He added that both the
company and the community
have benefited in many ways
due to his service.
Garner Dunkerley Jr., chair-
man of the board and chief exe-
cutive officer, prior to present-
ing a memento to Mr. Hawkins,
told what the honoree had meant
to him—to his father, the late
G. G. Dunkerley, before him—
and the company. In turn, he
said, Mr. Hawkins had been his
boss, teacher, associate, confi-
dant and consultant. He added
that the honoree had dedicated
more years of service to the com-
pany than any other. “He carried
much responsibility in promot-
ing the growth from one-press
shop employing a half-dozen peo-
ple to the sixth largest forms
plant employing more than 1,000
with an annual payroll of over
$6,000,000. He will derive much
satisfaction in the years ahead

Taken by Death;
Rites Wednesday
Mrs. Joseph F. Pechal, 52, of
1819 Ramsey St., Dallas, died at
5 p.m. Monday in Methodist

Mrs. Pechal was born October
1®, 1915, in Rosebud, and was
the daughter of Frank and
Johnna Sukup.
She was married to Joseph F.
Pechal of Ennis, September 15,
1941, in Rosebud.

For Check Cases
Pierce Padgett and Barney
Boyd, two of Sheriff Wayne Mc-
Collum’s deputies, were in En-
nis yesterday afternoon in con-
nection with the extensive check-
forging-passing case that origi-
nated in a Midlothian burglary

went to work in 1909, there
were only $9,000 in total assets
which had taken much time to
accumulate from the town’s
leading investors; and upon lea-
ving the company there were
more than $10,000,000 in assets
to be managed for the benefit of
those to follow him. His retire-
ment is a corporate loss but a
genuine gain for his community
at large because Joe has .always
given of himself and now doubt-
lessly will do even more charit-
able acts.
Then Mr. Dunkerley unveiled
the memento—which was a large
oil portrait of Mr. Hawkins, “an
expression of our appreciation
of the enduring worth of your
58 years of devoted service: and
we also have for his wife, Edna,
an album I think she will enjoy
through the years.
In response, Mr. Hawkins voi-
ced deep appreciation for the
occasion and for the enjoyable
associations through the years,
adding: “As I say goodbye, after
58 years with the company, my
wish is that the good Lord watch
over you as he has over me in
the past.”
The event was brought to its
close with benediction by the
Rev. Orbie Lamb.
Mr. Hawkins was born Dec. 8,
1894, here in Ennis, son of Joe
and Ida Anderson Hawkins. He
was married to Edna Davis June
26, 1920, and they have two
children, Mrs. Robert Schneider
of Princeton. N. J., and Dr. Joe
Hawkins of Dallas: also six
grandchildren, Robbie, Erin and
Megan Schneider; Joe IV, Tim-

Miss Jo Nell Knize of Ennis
brought Ennis Lions an informa-
tive and inspiring account of
professional experiences at the
Lions Crippled Children’s Camp
at Kerrville as the program of
the club’s meeting yesterday at
the Community Center.
President Wes Steger presid-
ed over the meeting and Willie
D. Murff was program chairman
and introduced Miss Knize, who,
he stated is a daughter of Mrs.
Joe Knize and the late Mr. Knize
and is a junior at the University
of Texas, majoring in physical
therapy. She was at the Kerrvil-
le camp last summer, he point-
ed out.
Guests for the luncheon in-
cluded Billy Moore with the Rev.
Haves White, Dennis Watts with
his father, W. C. Watts, Jr.; Ro-
bert Schneider of Princeton,
N.J., with his father-in-law, Joe
Hawkins; and Mr. Murff had
with him his wife and their son
Jimmy and Mrs. Knize.
As Miss Knize recounted fine
accomplishments of the Kerrvil-
le camp she told the Lions’
“Each of you can be proud you
are supporting this camp, which
does so much for so many chil-
dren.”
She said it is for both boys
and girls, 7 to 16, and that the
largest number have suffered
polio. Besides the crippled,
blind and deaf children also are
taken. There were 756 children
there this summer.
“Through therapy and correc-
tive work much progress has
been made with the children,”
said Miss Knize. “Some of the
children have two or three
handicaps —for instance, like
cerebral palsy, poor eyesight
and faulty hearing.”
She said that it is “amazing
| how children of different dis-
abilities adjust to one another.”
Many are slow learners be-
cause of slight brain damage or
their physical handicaps. They
come from all over the state
and they are wealthy, middle
class and poor.
She said the children lead a
busy, interesting life and few
have opportunity for homesick-
ness.
Miss Knize complimented the
swimming pool, which is quite
popular, and the capable swim-
ming instructors. She said the
children also love arts and crafts
and are given an opportunity to
do just about what they desire
to . . . for instance, campouts,
nature study and the like. She
said the children are divided
into Indian tribes for friendly
rivalry which they enjoy. At
night there are movies, carnivals,
games and so on. There are in-
spiring religious services, too,
and Awards Night is a big af-
fair. She suggested that the club
get the camp film and show it
to the members, for more de-
tail.
Miss Knize will never forget
what a little blind girl said, “I
know it’s beautiful here, be-
cause I’ve had so much fun.”
And she recalled, too, what
the workers with the camp are
told:
“You never stand so tall as
when you stoop to help a crip-
pled child.”
President Steger said that he
was greatly impressed by Miss
Knize’s account of the importan-
ce of the camp and that he hopes
that a busload of Lions go visit
it this summer.
