the previous year and
usually a one year
retrospective will suffice
to provide a preview of
the coming year ’s events
But when a year like
1973 comes along for El
Campoans, with its
record crop pirces,
record bank deposits, and
record rainfall, a little
longer perspective is
needed perhaps to
prepare oneself for things
to come.

Delores Nelson, a 16-
year-old El Campo High
School junior, is about to
t.egin a new year of
learning, surprises and
meeting new people on
the “bottom side of the
world.” She is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Gil Nelson
She is the American
Field Service student
who will spend a year in
New Zealand. She will be
staying January, 1974
through January, 1975
with the Thomas Murray
Steele family in Opotiki,
New Zealand.
The plaudits of the rest
of the world were fine but
the welcome Major
Sidney Kubesch, El
Campo’s and the nation’s
flying ace, received from
the homefolks last
Thursday evening at the
community center was
the best of all.
“Of all the recognition
my crew and I have
received, I appreciate
this one tonight above all
others,” the poised young
33 yea r old flyer sa id.
Major Kubesch was
commander of a three
man crew that made the
longest supersonic flight
in history, flying from
Tokyo to London, a
distance of 8,028 miles in
eight hours and 35
minutes at an average
speed of more than 900
miles an hour.
Jimmie Triska, age 13,
went hunting with his
grandfather on some land
owned by his dad near
Speaks. His father, Leo,
went to hunt on a lease
and gave his son all kinds
of instructions on how to
kill a buck which would
be his first if he got one.
Neither Jimmie or his
grandfather, John
Roeder, had ever been
deer hunting before.
Jimmie had taken rifle in
the Summer Youth
program and became a
fair shot and knew how to
handle his 222 rifle When
his father, Leo, came to
pick him up. Jimmie had
two bucks, the largest a
seven pointer hanging in
the tree, both *hot
through the neck, and
both dressed Jimmie
had two more bucks than
his dad.
