SUCCESSFUL
STEPHENVILLE
By TOMMY LOCHRIDGE > <r
Today this column is respect-
fully dedicated to a former great
citizen — Harvey Belcher.
He vyas admired by all who
knew him. Little children loved
kim and he loved them.
Harvey Belcher never met a
•tranter. He always gave of him
self to the fullest to accomplish
any task.
He was a vital cog in vour
Chamber of Commerce. He Was a
member of the Tarleton State
College Committee of your Cham-
ber. In countless other ways, he
Was important to your Chamber.
Stephenville and Erath County.
Many of you know just how
feally important he was to our
community. Many of you don’t.
This writer only knew this out-
standing Stephenville statesman
only a few short months, but he
was a tremendous help to me.
He has been the “man in the
background” on many Chamber
projects. He used to say, “I don’t
care who gets the credit for the
accomplishment, but let’s get it
done.”
He whs a man who had ideas
and could put his ideas into exe-
cution fpr the good of others.
When you needed help of any
kind, Harvey^wks always there. In
fact these are the last words he
uttered to this writer the night
before he died. We were dWcuss-
tng Stephenville'* future and by
s*H, *T7t be glad to help.”
Yes, Harvey Belcher is gone,
but not forgotten. Death came
sudden, The First Baptist Church
was filled to near-capacity for the
service. One leading citizen said,
“If the service had keen on Sun-
day with all places closed, Oven
this great church could not have
held the people.**
Harvey Belcher, a fhan who did
so much for his community, is
now in his eternal heavenly home.
Stephenville won’t be the same
without personable, happy, Har-
vey, but we need to keep on, keep-
ing on, as that’s the way Harvey
would nave wanted it.

er is Mrs. Sterling Bearden lives

What is l|Jiis that we hear about
Glen K#J -getting 9 inches of rain
at.his place? That tops the record
for these parts folks and with
tfiat I sign off this week’s news!
It looks like from the way the
passenger trains afe being taken
off their runs it may be only
g few more years, if that long,
until there won’t be yty left mak-
ing their regular runs. San An-
belo has one lone passenger serv-
ice left, between Brownwood and
points beyond.
There is something about the
whistle ef an oM time train that
cannot compare with that of the
dieeel which pulls most all train?
now, It was the oft trains Hke
ihe one displayed in our city park,
that helped develop net only Texas
but most every state in the good
old USA. Ws owe a great debt of
gratitude to the "Old Iron Horse”
as It has been called. Remember
when It was a thrill to wave at
the engineer as he passed four
crossing and maybe the sooty fire*
man also came up for air long
enough to wavo a Mack hand.
Weatherford has preserved a

way Museum in which there U dis

fashion is aft individualist,, tex-
tures, colors and silhouettes are
personal matters.
No stereotype is imposed ofi thd
smart woman’s desire to express
a mood or personality. She may
‘choose the throw-away elegance
of casuals, the demure femininity
of velvets and lacei, the exotie al-
lure of sables and slinky crepes.

mark of the fall 1962 costume is

cm way the tnrt completes the
look.
The coiffure of the smartly
dressed woman is refreshingly
simple. It fits smoothly under the
most lavish hats.
Knits and luxurious town-and-
country tweeds are highlighted
by uncomplicated hats of dramatic
size and rich texture. The simple
snood and the soft beret make
news with this look in luxurious
fur, supple leathers and fine felts.
Fashion taste for furs continues
to gain. This season, even frankly
fake furs are often trimmed with
the real thing. A collection of Jut
hat* gives status to many a fash-
ionable wardrobe. * -.
A red hat will generally turn
men’s heads. The richest red hats
are among the new season’^ most
appealing hats. 1
Stains On Shower Walls -r* To-
day’s building material firmvand
hardware stores offer a wide va-
riety of attractive wall finishings
for tub and shower enclosures.
Most of these will give satisfac-
tory service if properly installed
— but some of the finishing ma-
terials stain more than others.
Tests made recently by the Tex-
as Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion show that ceramic tile and
porcelain-in-steel are the most re-
sistant to staining. Of 16 differ-
ent materials tested, copper tile,
plaster, stainless steel, painted
hardboard painted plywood, paint-
ed gypsum board, and the high
density plywood had permanent
stains after nine showers a day
for three months.
Plastic tile, enameled steel, pre.
finished wall board, laminated
thermosetting sheets, flexible rub-
ber, and vinylited wall fabric also
were stained from the repeated
wetting and drying action — but
stains on these finishes could be
removed easily.
A trotline in the Guadalupe
River brought forth a 35-pound
catfish. The fish was caught us-
ing minnow bait near the Camp
Stewart area. Jim Crow, 8*V and
two of his daughters were the sue
