Friday night Van Alstyne
will be the site of the
annual ‘‘grudge’’ game
between the Howe Bulldogs
and the Van Alstyne
Panthers. I have been told
that it doesn’t matter how
the teams have been playing
all season, when it comes to
this match watch for fire-
works.
I don’t have game statistics
for more than the last two
years, but in each of those
games Howe was the
winner. Last year Van
Alstyne had a disappointing
season with only one win
in the whole season. This
year their team has done
better, beating Caddo Mills,
Lindsay and Tom Bean,
They lost games to Gunter,
Frisco, Callisburg, and Bells
(with a very close score of
9-7). Last weekend they lost
to Whitewright, 39-7.
I’m sure the Panthers will
be out to win, but the Howe
Bulldogs will be wanting a
win too. Fans should be in
for a treat on ‘‘Trick or
Treat” night!

To the Editor:
I would personally like to
thank the Junior Class,
sponsors, and parents for a
very successful evening at
the Fall Festival.
Special thanks go to
Emily Powell, Carolyn and
Jim Sutton, Lois McCallum,
and Jean Ann McMillion for
organizational work done
prior to the Fall Festival; the
Junior parents who worked
in the concession stand;
Mitzi Power for organizing
the show; Kent Allen and
Steve Belden for transport-
ing the chairs, etc. for the
show; and the sponsors,
Sunny Cloud, Larry Macon
and Carol Heuman for their
hard work.
And I especially want to
thank the Juniors who par-
ticipated in the show and
those who helped with the
skee ball tables.
It took so many people to
make this fund-raising event
a success. To those people
who helped in some way, I
want to say ‘‘thank you.”
Juniors, I’m extremely
proud of you, and I’m sorry I
was unable to attend the Fall
Festival.
Sincerely,
Pat Stewart
To the Editor:
Citizens of the 4th Con-
gressional district should
carefully consider the candi-
dacy of John Wright. Unlike
his opponent, Mr. Wright is
neither a lawyer nor a pro-
fessional politician; we have
too many of both in public
office already.
John Wright is a conserva-
tive who believes that the
only way government can
halt inflation and lower taxes
is by balancing the federal
budget. Mr. Wright also
opposes the so-called Wind-
fall Profits Tax; favors a
strong military posture;
opposes federal financing of
abortions; and is for freeing
the farmer from government
policies which make it al-

most impossible for him
to make a living.
John Wright has a broad
background in business
management and banking.
He is a graduate of the U.S.
Naval Academy and served
21 years in America’s
foreign intelligence com-
munity - including 16 years
in the CIA. He is a family
man with five children. He is
a Sunday School teacher,

asset to the 4th district and

Congress.

The Editor:
You know and I know that
there is something drastical-
ly wrong in these United
States of America. Perhaps
Congress and each of us
have contributed to our
nation’s problems, but the
man we elected as President
four years ago must
shoulder the great burden
for the disaster we now face.
His vacillation, lack of good
judgement and inept staff
have destroyed the morale of
the American people, alien-
ated the confidence of our
friends and bolstered the
hopes of our enemies.
America has been belittled
and ridiculed before the
nations of the world. I have
compiled from official gov-
ernment statistics the follow-
ing table documenting the
economic debacle during the
first 3Vi years of Jimmy
Carter’s term.

"well, if we can't save our marriage,
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT STAYING ON
AS MY HOUSEKEEPER?
by Kate Crowder
Dear Readers,
I have two very valuable
possessions, both well over
thirty five years old. One is
my marriage. The other is
an old black iron skillet.
Though very different in
substance, they possess
some striking similarities.
Both marriage and the old
iron skillet were designed
primarily to fulfill certain
purposes. My old iron skillet
was one my mother used in
our kitchen when I was
growing up. I learned to
cook in it and wanted it so
much for my mother had
taught- me to cook with it.
It’s great for keeping things
warm for someone who must
be late for a meal.
What more could one ask of
the black iron skillet? I have
carried the old iron skillet in
our suitcases on many a
move, so I would be sure to
have it to cook with in our
new home for our first meal.
There were times I would
try something more up-to-
date, like stainless steel or
teflon. They were all attrac-
tive, but just didn’t handle
the job like my old iron
skillet.
Marriage, like the old skil-
let, will serve the practical
functions. Yet it will rust
and let food stick. It needs
tender loving care. It is the
same with marriage, when
one starts looking around for
alternative marriage styles
or partners, then it’s high
time to give more attention
and elbow grease to the
marriage. A little tender
loving care can usually bring
back a lost luster to the old
iron skillet and the marriage
So remember these words:
always show some Tender
Loving Care for those you
love and for your treasures
(such as my old iron skillet).
