What a smorgasbord of
resolutions this New Year
offers us! With things in a bit
of a mess, there’s no end to the
ways we can improve -
ourselves, our family budget,
our community, our nation.
Just take a sampling: 1) Waste
less... gas, food, water, house
heat, time; 2) Want
less... travel, luxury living,
unplanned and unnecessary
shopping; 3) Complain
less . . . about “guvment
spending”, crooked politicians,
“big oil companies”, taxes,
interference with personal
pleasures; 4) Think
more ... about helping others
and less about helping
ourselves. Then there’s the
usual hatful of promises,
promises; like straightening up
all the storage space in the
house; making the scrapbooks
we never got to; reading more;
eating less; answering letters
sooner; losing weight; being a
better neighbor, a more
considerate friend.
I sat by a woman in church
who wrote all over her order of
worship folder; after the
service she explained, "It’s my
weekly letter to my
mother-in-law; she can’t go to
church and loves a good
sermon.” The same day I read
in the morning paper of several
reactions to gas shortages; a
service station operator
charging $1 a gallon and
pocketing the difference; an
angry motorist threatening an
honest one with a gun for
limiting the amount; another
shooting the poor pump that
ran dry. Selfishness breeds
frustration; considering others
leaves little time for bitterness.
The year ahead assures us of
only one thing, uncertainty. As
a whole, Americans are
adjusting to higher costs, fewer
luxuries, more inconvenience.
There’s a real challenge in these
changing times. Can we look
back at the end of 1974 and
say we chose wisely at the New

post as of Wednesday. He
added that any replacement
will have to be a certified law
enforcement officer.
Bogard who served as night
deputy under Sheriff Bell, had
been on the sheriffs staff since
Bell took office on January 1
of last year. Prior to that time,
he served as a deputy under
former Winkler County Sheriff
L. B. (Bill) Eddins for about a
year.
Before moving to Kermit,
Bogard was a sergeant on the
Littlefield Police Department
for three years. He is a native
of Beulah and is a bachelor.
At one time there were
fewer than 50,000 elk
remaining in the United States.
Today more than 50,000 elk
are harvested each year in the
Western States as- part of a
carefully planned harvest, and
this is less than could be safely
taken.
