Wofford-Wag-
goner Nuptials
April 27th, 1935
Cecil O. Waggoner, son of The
Claude News Editor, and Miss
Mary Wofford of Locknty, slipped
away from their friends and were
married r.t Tucumcari, New Mex-
ico, last Saturday aftei noon at
2:30 o'clock. Rev. O. L. Dennis,
pastor of the First Baptist Church
of that city officiated in a beau-
tiful double ring ceremony.
Miss Wofford, the beautiful and
accomplished daughter of Mr and
Mrs. Claude R. Wofford, of Lock-
ney, Texas, was attired In a lovely
blue ensemble while the groom
was attired in a conventional
black. Only two of their closest
friends were present to witness
the ceremony at Tucumcari.
These young people first met at
a house party at the home of her
aunt in Amarillo, something like
two years ago. Several visits to
Lockney, following their first meet-
ing with almost daily letters,
brought the young couple closer
and closer together and this
finally culminated in the nuptial
knot that made two hearts beat
as one.
After a honey moon visit with
relatives and friends, at Hollis,
Oklahoma, Wellington, Texas,
Clovis, New Mexico, and other
points, they will bp tit home to
their friends after May 10th, 1935.
Cecil Waggoner will continue his
work, as foreman of the Claude
News, when they return to Claude,
the same place he has so ably
filled the past two years.
Their many friends are offering
hearty congratulations and best
wishes, with a sincere desire to
see them have a continued lite
of peace, happiness and plenty
since they have set ssil over life's
tempestuous sea of double bless-
ings.

handle, recently received the at-
tention of the Governor when he
addressed a special message to
the Legislature suggesting that
legislation for the purpose of aid-
ing in preventing this wind erosion
of the soil be enacted.
In order to finance this work
among other things, the bill pro-
vides that the Commissioners
Court may use not to exceed twen-
ty per cent of the motor license
fees and part, or all, of the road
and bridge fund, if necessary, this
provision being optional with the
county and the Commissioners
Court.
The bill carries other provisions
proposed for the purpose of making
effective the control of wind e-
rosion caused by wind and air
currents, and sets up the Com-
missioners Court as the authority
to administer the provisions of
this law in any county which votes
to become a Wind Erosion Con-
servation District.
