‘Now that it appears Carter and Reagan will face oj) in the
presidential election, if the vote were held today, which
would you vote for, and why?"
"( would have to vote for Mr.
Carter because of Mr. Reagan's
age and lack of experience in
foreign affairs. We cannot stand
another four years of 'on the job
training' in foreign affairs. We
must remember that a large part
of our problems have been caused
by congress which has had time to
study/ and act, and solve our more
pressing problems such as
inflation and energy!" Fred
Hankins, Hankins Hardware, 115
E. Ave. A
agent for Equitable Life, 304 SW
17th St.
"I guess I'd have to vote for
Reagan....because of the economy
and world situation. He seems to
advocate bringing this country
back down to a realistic position
and proposes some measures to
rebuild such things as patriotism
and the ideal of free enterprise."
Joey Ballew, Andrews Highway.
J would vote for Mr. Reagan, i
"I have to vote for Reagan.
Why? Because I've had enough of
Carter in every category of
just going to wait and see what
more develops. Neither one of
those men can accomplish their
campaign promises because old,
experienced heads in the House
and the Senate will continue to
legislate exactly as they have
done. Our bad economic and
foreign situation is no more
Carter's fault than it is anybody's.
The trend started way back years
ago and has kept getting worse
and worse until it has esculated
beyond any one man's control."

. FOOTNOTE TO HISTORY-For
three quarters of a century,
hundreds of Texans made all or
part of their living from the grisly
business of gathering and selling
the dried bones of buffalo and
cattle.
From about 1850 to as late as
1937, bones were a dependable
cash crop, especially in West
Texas. Depending on the demand,
ton of bones could bring from $3 to
as much as $20. Eastern
manufacturers, plus many in
Eurpoe, turned the bones into
buttons, bone china, fertilizer and
half a dozen other items. Bones,
and products made from them,
were necessities of the times.
The bone business was a
particular bonanza for freighters
and railroads.' Freight wagons
carrying Supplies to isolated
ranches and army posts returned
loaded with bones. Sometimes
they were bought from suppliers
but often they were gathered by
the wagon drivers as they crossed
the open prairies.

In the 1870’s the industry was so
lucrative that the railroads built
storage points known as bone-
yards.” Dallas, Austin, San
Antonio, Denison, Fort Worth,
Gainesville and other railheads
became primary shipping points
for bones.
Bone-picker” became a special-
ty occupation on the frontier,
especially among new settlers
who couldn’t afford to buy land or
couldn’t find a job on a ranch. It
was often poverty-level job, but it
helped keep food on the table.
By the 1920’s, the markets for
bones began to disappear. Better
ranching reduced the number of
cattle lost each year. However,
during the depression of the
Thirties, the industry .picked up
again as ranchers again gathered
the bones of dead animals and
sold them to supplement their
meager incomes.
ANDREWS-Texas Rangers are
investigating the apparent mur-
der-suicide of Andrews County
Sheriff J.A. “Bud” Gregory and
his wife, Justice of the Peace G.A.
Ragsdale said.
Gregory. 53. and his wife. Willa
Dean, 48, were found . at thgir
residence shortly after 8 a.m.
Tuesday by a sheriff’s deputy.
Gregory apparently shot his
estranged wife, then called the
sheriff’s office dispatcher and
said, “I shot Diddy (his wife) and
now I’m going to shoot myself.”
The couple was recently separat-

..VERNON--Two Vernon men
have been missing, along with two
companions on a flight from
Albany, Ga., to Chicago, 111., since
April 8, but local families have
kept the information largely to
themselves until national wire
service stories first broadcast in
this area by a Wichita Falls radio
station Monday revealed that a
psychic is being used in an effort
to locate the men and their
twin-engine private plane. Mis-
sing are pilot Gailon Hildebrand
and George Townson, Jr., of
Vernon and their campanions on
the flight, Herb Hill and Johnson
Shields, both of Dallas.
..DENVER CITY--The campaign
to cut down on the number of stray
dogs roaming Denver City will
continue indefinitely , according to
Police Chief A.J. Fowler, and this
past week’s concentrated effort
resulted in a number of dogs being
picked up and pet owners filed
upon. Thirty-two dogs were
impounded in the first of three
days of the week’s efforts and 37

..LAMESA-A local man and his
wife were arrested recently after
sheriff’s officers discovered 37
marijuana plants growing behind
their home at 402 S. Ave. F.
Deborah Sanderson Lollar, 26,
was arrested at the residence for
felony possession of marijuana
while her husband, Noble D.
Lollar, was arrested after
returning home from work.
Sheriff Bill Horton and three
deputies went to the home and
presented a search warrant to
Mrs. Lollar and then the officers
proceeded to the back yard where
the plants, ranging in height from
just a few inches, to almost two
feet, were found growing.
..MONAHANS-On May 19, the
U.S. Supreme Court agreed with
the determination reached by
Master Judge Jean Breitenstein
that New Mexico has been
illegally restricting the flow of
water % the Pecos River. The
court ruled that New Mexico must
not only correct the inequity in the
water flow, but must indemnify
Texas for its water loss since 1948
either by releasing extra water
for a time sufficient to make
amends or by paying Texas an
amount equal to the value of the
water. The court instructed
Breitenstein to develop a math-
ematicl model by which to
determine the water level as of
Jan. 4, 1947 as it is by that date’s
water level that each state’s share
was agreed upon in the Pecos
River Compact of 1948.
