ONE HUNDRED PERCENT FOR OLNEY
OLNEY ENTERPRISE, THURSDAY DEC. 18, 1947
BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN YOUNG COUNTY
NUMBER 45
$10,000 Olney Rodeo
Drive Begins; Oificeis
To Head It Selected
Led by 14 Olney businessmen*
who subscribed the first - 14
shares for $1,400 to start the
ball rolling, the Olney Rodeo
Association project was under
way here this week.
By early this week said Ray-
mond Lunn, it had risen to
$2,200.00.
A tentative organization - to
handle the campaign for support
had been named at last week’s
meeting.
Olney and Olney area busi-
nessmen were being asked to
buy $100 shares of the non-
profi stock, with a goal of 100
shares and $10,000 to launch an
annual rodeo program.
v Meeting last Friday, a group
of between 20 and 30 men dis-
cussed the advantages they fore-
saw to the town and area from
an annual rodeo, as an enter-
tainment feature and as an
income-producer to back com-
munity projects form year to
year.
Temporary Officers
Then they took the following
definite steps:
Passed out stock subscrip,-
iton pledge cards, and secured
the first $1,400 of pledges.
Named Glenn Atchley to con-
tinue as temporary chairman of
the projected association and
named Raymond Lunn to be
temporary secretary-treasurer.
Authorized Atchley to name
eight more men to serve with
the officials as a temporary
board of directors.
Some time ago a delegation
representing the group intrested
in the rodeo project conferred
Dunkle, Agent
For 25 Years, to
Be Honor Guest
County Agent R. O. Dunkle
this week had recognition from
A. and M. College and the Ex-
tension Service for a quarter
of century of service to Texas
farmers.
A little more than 25 years,
to be exact—he started out for
the Extension Service in 1921.
Because of his record, he re-
ceived this week a letter from
the college, asking him to come
to the institution’s annual fac-
ulty and staff Christmas dinner
the evening of December 18.
“On behalf of the dinner com-
mittee,” wrote Wendell Horsley
from College Station, “we are
extending an invitation to you
and a guest to be with us at
the Christmas dinner.. There
will be a place reserved for
you. Two tickets for your use
are enclosed.”
The dinner will be held in
Shisa Hall, and those who have
completed 25 years of service
with the college will be honor-
ed at the event.
Dunkle has not only been with
the Extension Service over 25
years—all of that time he has
spent in Northwest Texas.
He started in Gray County,
which at that time had McLean
as its county seat. Later he
served in Deaf Smith County,
Thrickmorton County, King
County and Knox County, be-
Cumberland Presbyterian Church
Filled to Capacity as Hundreds
Come to Hear Yule Cantata Sung
Hundreds of Olney people gathered Wednesday evening and
packed the Cumberland Presbyterian Church to capacity to hear
the singing of the community Christmas cantata.
The presentation, which this
year was of Ira B. Wilson’s
“Yuletide Memories,” drew high-
est praise from the listeners
afterward.
They hailed the finished per-
formance, a voluntary contribu-
tion to the town’s music life

To Press Campaign
Details were not agreed but
the board at that time told the
delegation, which was headed
by E. H. Griffin, that “we can
get together on details when the
time comes.”
The membership drive wi 11
be pressed as rapidly as possi-
ble, Atchley said in discussing
the project, so that .if it meets
success the organization can be
perfected in time to lay plans
for a 1948 rodeo.
He pointed out that if the ro-
deo boosters waited until after
♦ the first of the year to begin
their work toward a 1948 show,
they would find most of the
rodeo stock and performers al-
ready engaged by the time they
got the Olney bid.
Archer Quintet
To Battle Cubs
Here on F
Archer City’s Wildcats will
come here Friday night to meet
the Olney Cub cagers in a pair
of basketball games.
The program at Olney High
School gymnasium will start at
7 o’clock, with both A squad
and B squad games slated.
The Cubs regulars will be
seeking their third straight win,
having defeated Valley View
and Electra’s AA Tigers up to
now. (Detailed story on the 1947
Cub basketball squad and its
schedule so far is carried on
another page in this issue of
the Enterprise).
TOASTMASTERS
NOT TO MEET
TILL JANUARY
The Toastmasters Club . has
cancelled its second meeting this
month, President Marvin Hickey
announced this week.
The program was set for Fri-
day night, but the club’s meet-
ing place is scheduled for Christ-
mas event use that evening, so
Hickey said the next meeting
-of the Toastmasters will be
"January 5.
The same program slated this
week is expected to be given at
fchat first January meeting.
“Not many wanted to take ad-
vice from a county agent on
how to better his farming meth-
ods,” he said this week, in Olney.
“Lots of times the only way
ou could get better farming
practices started in a commu-
nity was through the work with
boys and girls. The youngsters
would put an improved practice
into trial, and the father would
see the results it got. He would
not comment—but next year or
two, you’d see him doing the
same thing.”
What’s the single biggest thing
the county agent thinks of as he
looks at the West Texas , pic-
ture today?
“Saving the land—saving it, and
building back its fertility so
we’ll get high production again,”
replies Dunkle. “First, through
terracing and contouring—so the
better soil you build won’t be
washed away. . Second, through
the planting of vetch and such
crops, and putting into effect
other soil-restoring practices, to
get the land back, as good as it
was in the old days before con-
tinued crops drained awav much
of its original natural fertility.”
Bank, Busine
Firms Pay Staffs
Christmas Bonus
The parade of Christmas bo-
nus checks is on in Olney.
The First National Bank, fol-
lowing its annual custom, has
paid all employes a Christmas
bonus amounting to 10 percent
of each worker’s annual salary,
said Glenn Nixon, president.
Bonuses to the Enterprise staff
have been paid by Jetty V.
Clare, publisher, in amounts
based, on employes salary and
on length of service with the
newspaper.
More bonus payments will be
listed as they are repQrted and
it is hoped that a number cf
such reports can be had by
next week’s Enterprise.

Band Unifo
Fund Lacks Only
$275 of Goal
One of the most ambitious
Olney projects attempted by a
local group, the Band Parents
Club’s drive to raise slightly
over $3,100 for new uniforms
for the Olney School band, early
this week was only $275 short
of its goal.
The club has made arrange-
ments with the uniform makers
to carry the balance due on
the suits to Jun 1, without inters
est payment. If any balance is
carried past that date, the club
will pay interest on the amount.
More contributions were listed
by the Band Parents this week,
including a group of second do-
nation where contributors vol
untarily added to the sums they
originally had given.
Second Donations
In this group were the fol-
lowing: Sorosis Club, $5; Hayden
Farmer, $10; Mrs. Martin Schle-
gel, $2.50; Charles Whetstone,
yO.
Biggest contribution in the
new list was that of the Rotary
Club: $52.50. The Senior Music
Club added $30 to the fund, and
the Band Parents themselves,
by a sale of wastepaper they
collected over Olney, pushed
the fund $62.16 higher.
Donations of $5 or more in-
cluded: Mrs. O. T. Anderson,
$10; Elo Hausler $10; O. D.
Swanzy $10; Sinclair Prairie

Wheat May Be Cut To 50,000 Acres
As Continued Rains Prevent Planting
Young County’s prospective
1948 wheat production was
shrinking steadily this month
under the impact of jarring and
continued setbacks of bad plant-
ing weather.
By this week forecasters had
sharply curtailed their fall pre-
dictions of the county’s total
land that will be growing wheat
for a hungry world next spring
and summer.
County Agent R. O. Dunkle
thinks the county still may plant
up to 68,000 acres. That would
be short of the 72,000 acres he
expected last fall but still 3,000
acres more than the record-
setting 1946 planting.
But many Olney area grain
growers are less confident, and
John R. Wilson of Olney, chair-
man of the county committee of
the Agricultural Conservation
Association, this week said he
believes 50,000 acres will cover
the county’s new wheat sowing.
Other forecasts have generally
fallen between those two figures.
One thing is certain: a big part
of the wheat land, estimated by
some up to one-third the total,
remains to he seeded and plant-
ing time is running out.
Rains have delayed complet-
ing planting until now the Ol-
ney area farmer cannot hope to hairy vetch. The crop that is

that last fall was slated to be
put into wheat, now will be
planted to spring oats, cotton and
combine maize—the last looking
good in this area both as a
cash crop and to feed out to

forecast figures have one re-
markable bright spot: the un-
disputed big jump in seeding of
services.

Parties and Carols
The Yuletide spirit was not
confined to downtown. Over Ol-
ney, by day and at evenings,
various Christmas-season activ-
ities were keeping clubs, school
and church groups busy with
parties and plans of parties,
carolling, and the work of pre-
paring Christmas cheer, food
gifts for those less fortunate
financially.
