THE SHACKELFORD COUNTY LEADER, ALBANY, TEXAS
THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1947
Judith Castleberry
Honored with Party
On Fourth Birthday
Judith Castleberry was the hon-
oree at a lovely children's party
last Friday afternoon when her
mother, Mrs. Harold Castleberry,
entertained a group of youngsters
with a lawn party. Outdoor games
were played and kodak pictures
made as a memento of the oc-
casion.
Opening of gift packages was an
exciting occasion for the young
guests as well as the honoree, who
received many lovely gifts.
The decorated birthday cake was
encircled with a parade of cookie
animals which was very much ad-
mired by the children. Five
candles topped the cake with one
for each year and one to grow on.
Following the refreshments guests
were presented frog snappers as
favors.
Young guests attending the
party for Judith were Jean Cloyd,
Renee Black, Bill Morrell, Rocky
Hill, Jimmie Wheeler, Becky Sam
Moberley, Charles Evan Wallace,
Mollle Caldwell, Peggy Johnson,
Doris Miller, Johnny Musselman,
Kay McKiski, Barbara, Betsy, Jim
and Judy Sanders, Janice and John
King, Mary Kay Grothe, Keith
Scott, Sheila Baker, and Vicki
Derrick and Betty Mathis of
Breckenridge.
Grownups attending included
the honoree's two grandmothers,
Mrs. Scott Gilbert of Woodson,
and Mrs. Joe L. Castleberry, and
one great grandmother, Mrs. L. C.
McKelvy, bqth of Albany, and sev-
eral mothers of children present.

All of us would like to put dad on
a pedestal on Father's Day to show
him how we feel about him the year
round. I like to think of all Amer-
ican fathers in the role of Minute
Men, standing guard over the secur-
ity of their families. Certainly they
could do no better than to assure the
happiness of themselves and their
homes than by buying United States
Savings Bonds regularly.
Two automatic bond buying plans
are available now. If dad is on •
payroll, the Payroll Savings Plan
will assure him days of ease when
he gets ready to retire. If dad Is a
professional man or self-employed,
he can use his checking account to
buy a bond a month.

Months
Strenuous exercise or games
causing extreme fatigue should
be avoided during the hot
summer months as another
precaution against polio, the
National Foundation for Infan-
tile Paralysis, through its lo-
cal chapter, stresses among
six simple health rules that
should be observed in combat-
ting the disease.
Tests on laboratory animals
carried out in experiments fi-
nanced by March of Dimes
funds, showed that where ani-
mals were strenuously exercised, twice as many of them ex-
posed to the virus developed more severe forms of infantile
paralysis than did those which had rested quietly in their cages.
The studies indicate, the National Foundation points out, the
wisdom of avoiding extreme fatigue is a worthwhile precaution
in the polio danger months—June through September,

Two special roping events held
at the Texas Cowboy Reunion each
year around July 4th are unique
among present day rodeos. The
Old Timers calf roping is open
only to members of the Texas
Cowboy Reunion Association and
each contestant must be 55 years
old on or before July 1, 1947.
The service and ex-service men's
calf roping is composed of the ten
low time ropers in the regular
roping event. The winner in prev-
ious years is not eligible for the
contest. There is no entry fee in
this contest. A fine special made
saddle goes to the winner of each
event.
E. O. Wedgeworth, congenial
manager of the Pampa chamber
of commerce will be the announcer
again this year for the Texas Cow-
boy Reunion. Red, as he is com-
monly called by everyone, will be
doing the job for the third con-
secutive year.
Cutting horse enthusiasts will
be at the Texas Cowboy Reunion
rodeo in force. Tfie contest, pop-
ular wherever rodeos are held
now-adays, originated in the
Stamford arena in 1933 when a
saddle was given to Jess Slaughter
who was riding Gold Dust.

Ranch cowboys will be keenly
interested in the announcement by
officials of the Texas Cowboy Re-
union that there will be two divi-
sions of ropers this year in both
the calf roping and cow milking.
The Amateur Rodeo Association
members will rope in one division
and the ranch cowboys in another
according to W. G. Swenson, pres-
ident of the Texas Cowboy Re-
union, Inc. These two added
classes of roping will consider-
ably increase the total prize money
for the 1947 show which already
runs well over $5,000.00.
