MANAGER OF THE Tulia Industrial
Foundation Bill Daniel has been in
Austin visiting with the state industrial
commission. The commission told Bill
that he was in an extremely difficult
part of the state to get new industry.
“New industry is knocking on the
doors in the east and southern part of
the state. . . but not many want to go to
west Texas" Bill was told.
The state industry man added that
new industry likes to bring their
employees to a location where there are
trees, water and grass.
He told Bill he would just have to sell
new industry on the opportunities and
good way of life that Tulia has. . . and it
would take a lot of hard work. Bill
asked, “where do 1 get the contact
list?” The reply was, "we send all our
prospects who are interested in that
part of the state to a firm in Amarillo.
So. . . all Bill's gotta do is go to
Amarillo and get that prospect list and
go to work.
We think Tulia offers the “good life”
and when Bill gets that prospect list,
we'll go to work with him and try to get
some new industry to locate here. We
invite every citizen in this community to
join in the effort.
THE IRONIC ASPECT of the theft of
Wilton Whitehead's coin collection is
the fact the burglar spent the valuable
money for various things . . . probably
in Lubbock.
There is some pretty good "collec-
tor’s item” money going through some
collection out of the Whitehead home a
couple of week's ago is in the county
jail.
Hopefully, law officials will soon be
able to jail the burglars who broke into
J-Gee's Department store last Friday
night and took a sizeable amount of
money and checks.
Think Dickens Lumber also exper-
ienced a break-in and burglary about a
month ago.
SWISHER COUNTY is feeling its first
affects of the federal budget cuts as the
employment office has been closed in
the courthouse and the duties of the
office will be handled out of the
Plainview office.
We can expect some more govern-
ment offices to close as the budget
tightens.
Also, under the new plan. . . if it
passes Congress, money that previously
went to rural areas will now go to
defense plants.
The Democrats want the budget cut
even more, but through less money
spent on detense.
THE CLOSING of the employment
office, the closing of the telephone
office, the closing of small businesses
here indicate less people are doing less
business. . . it takes people to make a
town and a community.
In a big city, the closing of small
offices and small businesses would go
unnoticed. However, in a town the size
of Tulia. . . EVERYONE IS MIGHTY
IMPORTANT!
include a survey in next month's
statement envelope and we hope you’ll
take time to respond to the survey. It
might help us get touch tone telephones
here.
THIS IS NATIONAL POLICE WEEK.
... a good time to say “thanks” to
your favorite policeman. . . or police
woman, now that Tulia has one.
We run the police report each week,
and most of the problems are caused by
drunk people. Although our policemen
don't experience many “shoot outs”
each week, they run a lot of risk to their
well being. . . and their life, every time
they arrest a person who is out of his or
her mind from dope or strong drink.
We wouldn't want to be a policeman
(the policemen may not want to be
newspaper people either) and we re-
spect and appreciate the people who
serve on our police force. It’s not
particularly a popular or well paying
job. . . most of the enjoyment of the job
must come from you and me as we
express our appreciation to them for
protecting our homes and families from
robbery and violence.

I ’MASTERS
By ADELLE ELKINS
Sgt.-at-Arms Weldon
Smith deftly tapped the gavel
at 6:30 a.m. and called the
Tulia Toastmasters Club to
order. After the Invocation
and Pledge of Allegiance,
President K. G. Vaughn took
charge.
The Standard of Excel-
lence was achieved with a
club meeting led by the
Toastmaster of the Day,
Bessie Bradford. Exceptional
subjects were discussed in a
Table Topic session moni-
tored by Don Stout. Topic-
master. S. A. Hodges, Jr.
gave a short impromptu
speech on "Should the Eng-
lish have Conceded to Bobby
Sands?" Mack Bush spoke
extemporaneously on “What
Will Happen in Atlanta if the
Killer is White?” K. G.
Vaughn spoke on the spur of
the moment about “Are You
Fulfilling Your Childhood
Dream?”
Table Topics are designed
to develop effective discuss-
ion. There are two principles
involved:
1. When you have to say
something, try to present
ideas worth listening to. 2.
When you have something in
mind that needs to be said,
have the courage to present
it and the skill to make it
effective.
K. G. Vaughn gave a very
interesting manual speech
entitled “If Otto Only
Knew.” This was a speech
about the internal combus-
tion engine. He expanded
the minds of the audience
with chaulk talk on the black
board and an engine that cut
away to show the inner
workings. John Will Nichols
gave a book review on the
Number One Best Seller of
Fiction called Gorky Park by
Martin Cruz Smith. This was
a mini-review ten minutes
long giving the highlights of
a novel about three mutilated
bodies discovered in the
deep snow of Moscow's
Gorky Park, and about Chief
Homicide Investigator Ar-
kady Renko's singular inves-
tigation of the event.
The General Evaluator for
the whole meeting was S. A.
Hodges, Jr. The Timer was
Weldon Smith. Mack Bush
evaluated John Will Nichols'
speech. George Jennings
evaluated K. G. Vaughn's
speech. The George Jenn-
ings awards were: Best Table
Topic went to Mack Bush
along with the Best Evalua-
tor award. The Best Speech
award was captured by John
Will Nichols.
Special guest was Joel
Reece from Kress, Texas.
Joel is the Senior Appraisor
for the Swisher County Ap-
praisal District. We missed
Toastmasters Jim Dulin.
Adelle Elkins. Mike Fergu-
son, Danny Kellar. Phil
Raught, Lyle Robinson. Nor-
man Singer, and Ernest
Smith.
Charles F. Luce. Chairman
of the Board of Consolidated
Edison, said: "I have often
remarked that my five year
membership in Toastmasters
was the most valuable club
membership that I ever had.
It gave me a unique oppor-
tunity to learn how to preside
at meetings, to speak in
public and to think on my
feet. . . and to do so in a
setting where mistakes were
not costly.”
The Tulia Toastmasters
Club No. 129-44 meet every
Tuesday morning at 6:15
a m. at the Willie Room in
Tulia. Texas. The Tulia
Talkers Toastmasters Club
meet every Tuesday at 12:45
a.m. in the meeting room at
Swisher Memorial in Tulia.
Texas. Guests are welcome
at both of the Toastmasters
Clubs.

Tha question
of saccharin
HOUSTON, TX. -
Should saccharin be banned
because it might cause
cancer? The controversy sur-
rounding the artificial
sweetener continues.
Dr. Guy R. Newell, direc-
tor of cancer prevention pro-
grams at The University of
Texas M. D. Anderson
Hospital and Tumor In-
stitute, says, "Laboratory
tests have shown that sac-
charin does not uniformly
cause cancer in all animal
species studied.”
He says that one wise ap-
proach to the human con-
sumption of saccharin would
be to remove the product
from widespread use as a
food additive. However, he
says, it could be retained as
an over-the-counter product
for those people who want to
use it.
“As a good measure,
children should not take sac-
charin or any potential
cancer-causing agent during
early developmental years,
and pregnant women should
avoid its use as they should
any non-essential drug.” Dr.
Newell adds.
