“I have lived all of the 84 years
of my life in Lake Dallas and re-
ceived my education from Denton
County schools, majoring in busi-
ness administration in NTSC.
“J have had twelve years ex-
perience in the field of account-
ing, bookkeeping and clerical
supervision work. Nine yean of
this experience has been with the
federal government in the Bureau
of Internal Revenue, Dallas,
‘The County Clerks office of
this county needs a supervisor who
isrform the many duties of
ling and acounting with dis-
patch and complete accuracy. I
believe that in my many yaars of
working with and supervising em-
ployees will be an asset to me in
setting qp the detals and systems
necessary to the orderly conduct
of the couitty clerks office.
“While close attention to detail
is important to this office, close
acqualntenship with tha personnel
of this office and the ability to
bast use each employee to the full
extent of his ability and according
to th« work he is hast suited, wjll
make this office a batter wrrte*
institution for the people.

be tha people’s next county clerk
solely on my own merits and qual-
ifications and solicit your vote
and influence on this basks alone.
'If you want dispatch, order-
liness, and competent business ad-
ministration of your county
clerk’s office, vote Elaine T. Col-
lins your next county clerk.
My best information and
knowledge is that both of my op-
ponents are gentlemen. Their
merits or demerits is strictly a
matter for them to present and
for you to judge.
“I present for you to judge a
record of 84 years residence with
Denton County people and a long
service of useful work as a super-
visor and clerical employee with
thoroagh training and experience.
“Thank you for your careful
consideration.”
