PATH-
(Continued from Page 1)
remember Elizabeth Anne’s
early childhood always
remember how those parents
sat rocking her through the
hours or riding in the car with
her to keep her quiet when her
ears were causing her pain.
And who among us here
during Barbara Glenn’s
childhood years does not recall
how she was her daddy’s
shadow? He, at that time, had
a pasture just down the road
past our farm. Glenn called it
“Rancho Grande”, and had it
stocked with beef cattle. His
little daughter, Barbara Glenn,
would invariably be in the
pickup with him as TTTSy would
pass our farm going down to
check on the cattle. I can see
her yet, dressed in her little
overall suit and standing in the
car seat with her arm around
her daddy’s neck as they would
go driving by on their way to
“Rancho Grande.”
Without a doubt the greatest
burden of sorrow known by
Glenn and Ruth came through
the death of their older
daughter about two years ago.
Although never physically
strong, Elizabeth Anne fought
a long hard battle against
emphysema before she lost
that gallant fight.
Although Glenn and Ruth
moved to Pecos 22 years ago,
Odem still claims them as her
own. And it was with bowed
and broken hearts that old
friends gathered in Evergreen
Cemetery for that brief service
as Glenn was.laid to rest beside
his older daughter and among
all members of the family, exc-
ept one brother, who had come
here sixty-two years ago.
Truly, Odem lost a good
friend, a good man and a good
citizen. And the entire com-
munity extends sympathy to
the loved ones who mourn his
death.
BUILDING-
GRANT-
(Continued from Page 1)
“As an example, the federal
government and the state
provide medicare and
medicaid, social security, and
state welfare, and usually only
provide a check and a card
which states that the recipient
is eligible for medical
assistance.”
This fails to meet the total
need, according to the ap-
plication. Transportation is
still not provided for the
recipient to go to the doctor or
buy food.
By using the centers which
now house the neighborhood
service centers, plans can be
developed to increase the scope
of the services offered within
the project, including an
elderly meals program and an
emergency medical services
program.
An expanded program is
anticipated at the end of this
project year.
Margarito Perez, ad-
ministrative assistant, gave a
report to the June meeting of
the board on the grant ap-
plication.

owners, and said from the
engineering point of view,
adding dirt to a road helps.
Sides said this is the fifth
time the event has occurred
without permission from the
county, which makes it illegal.
He said he would take those to
court responsible if the matter
were not satisfactorily
resolved.
Kindle, in whose precinct the
road is located, agreed to meet
with Walsmith and Sides on
Monday at the location to
review the matter.
In other matters, the court:
-Approved a utility ad-
justment for Exxon Pipeline
Company in the amount of
$14,369.47.
--Approved the employment
of Anderson Johnson to replace
Lorenzo Mendez on the
recommendation of Hoskins at
a salary of $464.00 per month.
Johnson is now a school em-
ployee.
-Approved the bond of
Norma Gail Lee, a deputy in
the district clerk’s office.
-Approved the bond of
Erlinda Martinez, secretary to
Justice of the Peace of
Precinct No. 1. The matter of
termination of the secretaries
is to come up for discussion
later.
-Approved the bond of
James Kenneth Clark, deputy
constable for Precinct 3.
Zapata said he is in favor of
doing away with the deputy
constable positions, but agreed
the position should be bonded
so long as in effect.
-Approved the request of
Velma Sherman for temporary
help in the county clerk’s of-
fice. July Lynn Havelka was
employed at a salary of $330
per month.
-Tabled the request for
employment for a librarian for
more information.
-Accepted the low bid of
Robert Burke Ford for a
pickup for the building
superintendent. The bid was
*$4,691 with trade.

here in the Bain Mobile Court,

were spending a few days there
at the time of the accident.
Mrs. Rea took her husband to a
doctor’s office for first aid
treatment and then back to
their home here in Odem.

(Continued from Page 1)
from this county include:
Debbie Greenwood daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Milton Green-
wood of Mathis; Linda Richter,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. E.
Richter of Taft; and Sandra

They will be among more
than 500 students from over the
state entering the 11th and 12th
grades in September who have
been selected to attend the
seminar on the basis of
leadership ability and
scholastic achievement.
Sponsored by the Texas
Farm Bureau, the seminar is
held on the campus of Baylor
University. Its purpose, ac-
cording to President Teltschik,
is to convey to the students a
better understanding of our
American heritage and the
capitalistic private enterprise

system “that has made ours
the greatest of all nations.”
He also said they will be
informed about some of the
forces, both internal and ex-
ternal, that are eroding our
way of life. The ultimate goal,
he added, in addition to helping
them to be better informed, is
to cause them to want to pass
on their experiences to others.
Attendance is not limited to
students from Farm Bureau
families, but is open to those
who reside in towns or cities as
well as rural areas. Their
attendance is sponsored by the
local county Farm Bureau.
SCULL-
(Continued from Page 1)
engaged in the general mer-
cantile business here until 1952
when he moved to Pecos,
where he engaged in farming
on a large scale. He was forced
into retirement a short while
ago because of ill health. He
spent the last seven weeks of
his life in the intensive care
unit of Spohn Hospital. He
passed away at 4 p.m. Sunday.
He was a member of the
Masonic Lodge.
Scull was not only an Odem
pioneer, but he came from one -
of the earliest families in
Texas. His great-grandfather
Capt. Theodore Dorsett, served
in the Texas Revolution, and he
was one of the military men
who was commissioned by
Gen. Sam Houston to clear the
area around Houston of all
those persons who had failed to
leave for safety only hours
before the Battle of San Jacinto
was fought and Texas in-
dependence was won.
Among the relatives here to
attend the funeral service were
Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Scull, Mr.
and Mrs. Edward Scull and
family, all of Martindale; Mr.
and Mrs. Randall Butler, Mr.
and Mrs. Billy Scull and Mrs.
Zane Chandler and baby, all of
Pecos; Mr. and Mrs. Evans
Butler of Sinton; Mrs. Tom M-
ehrens of Corpus Christi, Mrs.
C. D. Eads of Houston and
Johnny Gillespie of Austin.
