other widely acclaimed volumes
on Pioneer Texas history.

An Electra resident, Emmitt E.
Patton, 86, is one of four living
persons in 11 North Texas Coun-
ties to receive a Social Security
check since the beginning of So-
cial Security in 1940, announced
Jess Fowler, field representative
of Social Security.
Three of these are residents of
Wichita County, Martin L. Woody,
Iowa Park; Lee G. Hudson of
Wichita Falls and Patton. Wil-
liam T. Wofford, the fourth, re-
sides in Chillicothe.
Patton retired from the Texaco
Company 18 years ago as a pump-
er. He resides with his daughter
and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Vic
Eggenberg.
He is a very active man for his
age and asked what contributed
to his activeness he stated, ”1
walk two and one-half miles a day
and eat anything I get my hands
on.” He added’ tobacco wouldn’t,
hurt you as he had chewed to-
bacco since he was 10.
Social Security payments have
advanced since the beginning as
Patton now draws $71 a month
as compared with the $24 he first
received. In the past 20 years his
benefits have amounted to $12,-
000.

mation was given by permission.

Texas Heroes
for 1960 to
be Named
The Texas Farm & Ranch
Safety Council is looking for
Texas heroes, people who have
exhibited exceptional bravery at
, a time of crisis or disaster.
* That organization will again
recognize these outstanding Tex-
ans through presentation of “Ru-
ral Heroism Awards” on a local
and state basis.
Three engraved plaques will be
presented to state winners during
the Texas Safety Association's
annual meeting in March, and lo-
cal presentations to all nominees
are also being planned, said L. O.
Tiedt, chairman of the Awards
Committee.
In 1959, the single state award
was presented to J. Manuel Cor-
ral, a Mexican bracero laborer
who was lowered into an aban-
doned irrigtion well to rescue a
three-year-old boy. The incident
occurred in the Dell City area
of Hudspeth County.
Any heroic act involving per-
sonal danger or sacrifice to aid
and assist others in a time of cri-
sis is eligible for participation in
the awards program, Tiedt said.
However, the act must have been
performed during 1960.
Deadline for nominations
Feb. 1, 1961.
Nominations may be made by
any person or group prior to that
time, and should contain com-
plete information and substantiat-
ing evidence of the heroic act.
This will be utilized by contest
judges to determine the three
state winners
Nominations should be sent to
