White Deer To Toke Part
In Jerry Lewis MS Telethon
The annual Jerry Lewis Muscu-
lar Dystrophy Telethon will be
held this weekend on Channel

White Deer will be 883-6101.
The Alpha Omega Chapter of
Beta Sigma Phi will sponsor the
telethon in White Deer. They
have already been working to
raise money for Muscular Dys-
trophy.
Members of the club would
like to remind the people of
White Deer that children will
be out collecting money door
to door on Monday. They will
have some kind of tag identi-
fying them as collectors for
Muscular Dystrophy.
If anyone wants to donate mon-
ey before this weekend due to
being out of town or for some
other reason, they can call 883-
6101 after 4:0P p. m.
The Chapter is very grateful
for the help of the White Deer
residents in the years past and
especially to the White Deer
Beta Sigma Phi Chapter for
making each drive more suc-
cessful than the last. We hope
this year will be even greater
than last year. Our goal this
year is $1, 000.
Remember the number to call
is 883-610L

BUCKS LOOK GREAT IN
FARWELL SCRIMMAGE;
VEGA SCRIMMAGE NEXT
Head Coach Larry Anthony,
optimistic after Friday night's
scrimmage against Farwell,
had this to say concerning his
outlook for White Deer's Bucks
this season: "Our line's block-
ing looks like it'll be our
strength, and we're way ahead
of last year, although I didn't
think so until the scrimmage
Friday night. I think we'll
have a fine blocking team and
a good running attack. We'll
have a lot more depth than last
year, especially in cun back-
field. "
Led by all-state tackle nose-
gamd candidate Donny Thurman
(240) the bucks have nine
lettermen back including five
regulars each way. Although
slumping to 5-5 in an injury-
plagued 1972, White Deer
appears ready to rebound and
should be a contender for the
title after finishing 3-2 in loop
play last year.
Up front, Anthony will line up
returnee Jim McCann (175 at
center, Butch Hensley(202) and
Greg Houghton (160) at guard
and Thurman and John Keeton
(178) at tackle.
Returning to the bacMield are
Danny Sandlin (who led the team's
rushing with more than 1, 200
steps last year) wingback Randy
Walker (155) and Buddy Cumm-
ins (170) the latter a quarter-
back hopeful.
Challenging Cummins is Dan
Cathey, a junior, and Sandlin
also will be tested there, says
Anthony. Danny Joe Stephens
is. a strong candidate at fullback,
says Anthony.
The Bucks will scrimmage
Vega at Vega Friday night.
Items Left At Swimming Pool
Items, such as clothes, towels,
thongs, and etc., lost and found
at the Swimming Pool during the
summer may be picked up at the
News Office.
LIONS TO CONDUCT
DRIVE TO SELL MANY
BLIND-MADE PRODUCTS
The White Deer Lions Club
will conduct an all-out drive
on September 5, 1973, to sell
quality blind-made products
to residents and local business-
es, according to an announce-
ment made today by M. D.
Waddill sale chairman. The
articles are all manufactured
by blind workers in the Light-
houses for the Blind which are
located throughout the state of
Texas. The Lion Club's earn-
ings from this sale will be used
for club activities.
The entire membership of
the Lions Club has been organ-
ized to supply friends and nei-
ghbors with this quality m er-
chandise delivered right to
their homes. Every household
can use some type of household
cleaning aid and every item
sold helps some blind person to
help himself.
Sales of blind-made products
held by the White Deer Lions
Club in previous years have
been most successful and Lion
Waddill expressed his confidence
in another successful sale this
year.

One Of Five Propositions
Approved In City Bond
Election On Saturday
CITY COUNCIL INCREASES
PROPERTY TAX FROM .90
TO $1.10 PER $100 VALUE
' Members of the council for
the City of White Deer met in
a special session Monday night
at City Hall to canvass the re-
sults of the bond election, set
the tax rate for 1973, and to
discuss gas rates. Present were
Mayor Sam Line, Pleasant
Meadows, Lee Lockridge, R.
T. Laurie, Gordon Ruthardt,
Morlan Shuman, City Secrer
tary Mrs. Roy Simmons, Mrs.
Orville Craig, Jr., Frank Whi-
tehead, adn Attorney John
Warner of Pampa.
The tax rate for 1973 will be
$1.10 on $100 valuation. This
rate represents a 20<t raise from
the previous rate of $. 90. Tax
rates have been set at varying
levels over the past 29 years.
In 1934 the rate was $1. 50 on
$100 valuation with property
owners asked to declare 25%
of the value. In 1965 the rate
was cut one-half, that is $0. -
75 per $100 valuation with 50%
of value requested. The rate
was raised in 1967 to $0. 90
per.$100 valuation on 50% of
value. The ninety cent rate
and fifty per cent ratio has
remained the same through
1972.
Presently 26% of tax collect-
ions are used for bond payments.
Repair of the streets, street
lights, police protection, tax
administration, legal and pro-
fessional fees and general ma-
intenance of physical facilities
such as the fire department are
some of the budgeted items
covered by the disbursement of
General Funds.
Results of the bond election
were accepted and any deci-
sion on the gas rates was tab-
led until further consultation
with Pioneer Gas Company
officials.
