Traveling Through Texas
1
i
There is something exciting
Hbout the*quietness of the East
Texas piney woods — whether
it’s the whimsical change of
nature’s mood or whether it’s
all in the mind of the perceiver.
Maybe it’s the combination of
clean air, sparkling lakes, scenic
greenery or the general
atmosphere of relaxation, but
in any case, there’s nothing like
a refreshing stroll through the
$puntryside.
Much of the heritage of
deep East Texas area has been
maintained with the-frontier
spirit of the early West. On
almost any Friday or Saturday
night the sound of a horsetail
'ow striking catgut strings of
an old-time fiddle can be heard
echoing throughout the woods
- it’s just a small get-together,
possibly a break away from the
work week, with plenty of
, foot-stompin’ tunes from some
of the best amateur fiddlers
around Texas.
The town of Rusk is one
such East Texas town that
ces pride in its heritage and
relaxed living. In the spring,
the emphasis there is on the
beauty of the dogwood,
redbud, flowering plum and
wild flowers. But, in the fall of
the year, the scenery changes
’ ito a world of colorful
autumn foliage.
As in many other Texas
cities, Rusk celebrates the
" advent of cooler weather and
autumn colors with a festival.
Each year, for the past five
years, the townsfolk of Rusk
"have sponsored an Indian
Summer Regional Arts and
rafts Fair.
More than 100 exhibitors
from Texas and adjoining
States will be on hand Nov. 2, 3
and 4 to display their arts and
crafts. The primary emphasis
Proposed
Amendment
Is Endorsed
AUSTIN - The Judicial
ction c5f the State Bar of
Texas endorsed proposed
Amendment No. 1 to the
Constitution which calls for
annual sessions of the
Legislature and increased
mual salary and per deim
allowances of legislators.
The judicial section includes
over 400 judges ranging from
county courts at law to the
Supreme Court of Texas.
“In view of rapidly changing
financial conditions,” said a
resolution by the judges, “the
state budget could be
determined more realistically
n a year by year basis than on
the current biennial basis.”
The judges also noted that
the increases in the demands of
the legislator’s job in recent
years, together with increased
costs of living, have made the
annual salary and per diem
llowance provisions notably
obsolete. These have not been
amended since 1960.
The proposed amendment,
to be voted on in the general
election Nov. 6, calls for
annual sessions of the
Legislature and a salary
increase of members to
$15,000 a year.

Each night of the festival, a
supper theater is scheduled
which will depict early Rusk
history- Action will center
around a train depot, where
many memories and stories of
the past will be vividly recalled
by the traditional stand-by, the
ticket agent.
If you ever wanted to veer
off a super highway onto one
of the many Texas
Farm-to-Market roads and
country lanes, you might want
to “take a turn” toward Rusk
for an old-fashioned
get-together. It’s just one of
the many interesting small
Texas towns whose citizens
know how to make an
inquisitive traveler feel right at
home in just a few minutes
time.
HOUSTON - Wilford R.
McLeod, 2615 Duncan Street,
Pampa, and Field Gauger for
Exxon Pipeline Company,
recently observed two
milestones in his long career
with the Company.
McLeod completed 40 years
of service with the Company
Sept. 11 and retired from the
Company Oct. 1.
McLeon and his family were
honored on each occasion by
employees of the Odessa
District at dinner in Pampa.
Leigh H. Cox, Operations
Manager from Houston, andC.
B. Reece of Odessa, reviewed
the highlights of McLeod’s long
Company career and
commended him for his
contributions to the
Company’s operations. He was
presented a 40-year service
award and retirement awards.
McLeod was bom at Field
Creek and attended school at
Eldorado and later studied at
Southwest Texas University in
San Marcos.
The veteran pipeliner joined
the Company at Station “A” in
1933, where he performed
operating assigments to include
laborer, truck driver, oiler and
pipeliner. He • served in
operating assignments at
McCamey, Winkler and Station
“B”. In 1945 he was
transferred to Pampa where he
has served as a pipeliner,
mechanic, field engineer,
assistat district gauger, district
gauger, and in 1953 he was
named field gauger, his
position at retirement.
He has resided at Pampa for
28 years.
McLeod is a member of the
Masonic Lodge and the First
Baptist Church of Pampa.
He is married to the former
Marguerite Davis of Plainview.
They have two children,
Wilford R. McLeod Jr. and
Pamela K. McLeod, both of
Dallas. Mr. and Mrs. McLeod
plan to continue their home in
retirement inPampa.
The Great Lakes cover
nearly 95,000 square miles of
North America, making them
the greatest expanse of
freshwater on this planet,
National Geographic says.
“Humanity can not survive
for long if conditions on this
earth continue to deteriorate,”
said D. G. Van Ike of New
York before 1882 persons in
attendance at the main event
of the two-day Assembly of
Jehovah’s Witnesses Sunday
afterno6n at the Lamesa High
School in Lamesa.
D. G. Van Ike, who has
been associated with the
Watch tower Society of New
York for more than twenty
years, spoke on “act wisely as
the end draws near.”
“It is well known that there
is food crisis world wide”, said
Van Ike. “There is-a water
shortage, energy shortage, a
population explosion, and even
our supply of oxygen is
deteriorating. All of these
things concide with Bible
prophecy to indicate that the
predicted time of the end of
this system is near.”
So Van Ike asked, “Where
do we find answers to the
questions on how to act wisely
as the end draws near? Do we
place our confidence on men
to show us how to act wisely?
Has not man been responsible
for producing the present
world crisis? Since it will be
God who interceeds and puts
an end to the present system of
things and institutes a new
order of things with peace and
prosperity for all, should not
God be the one in whom we
learn to confide?”
Van Ike then told those
present that there were
definate things which could be
done by all to bring them
God’s approval now and to
prepare them for life in God’s
new order. He said, “develop
abedience from the heart to
the sovereignty of God,
cultivate a new personality free
of the present world’s bad
tendencies, get close to God by
means of prayer, and put
emphasis on spiritual matters
in your life.”
33 witnesses were baptized
after Sunday morning service.
These new witnesses will take
up ministerial work in Texas
. and New New Mexico.
At the conclusion of the
convention the witnesses
expressed appreciation to the
people and officials of the city
of Lamesa for their hospitality.
