jointly by the veterinarian

those received in other areas
of the country and be used to
fight that dreaded crippier of

Come nightly to hear Evan-
gelist Gary Schaeffer of
Abilene.
Rev. Schaffer has traveled
with noted evangelist and vari-
ous singing groups as well as
his parents spreading the
gospel of Jesus Christ. Al-
though only 18 years of age, he
has had many offers in the
entertainment field.
Over two years of his life
were spent as a guitar instruc-
tor in one of Abilene’s largest
music companys.
You will be inspired by the
special music and singing each
night.
Cottle King Livestock and
Rodeo Association will kick off
its annual membership drive
Friday night, March 7 at 7:30
in the JPCourtroom,according
to Roy Powell, finance chair
man. Arvis Davis and George
Deaton will assist him.
The membership committee
was enlarged last year and will
be enlarged to 50 members this
year. The 1968 drive was the
most successful we have con-
ducted and resulted in the larg-
est membership in the history
of the Association. This was
due to a better understanding
by the public of the use of the
membership dues money and to
the increased efforts on the part
of the 35 man committee.
For the first time, the people
who had been attending our
show and related activities each
year were informed of the
financial structure of the asso-
ciation. They learned that there
are certain fixed expenses such
as insurance, maintenance and
repairs, improvements, in
addition to the actual running
expenses of the show. The item
of information most surprising
to many was the fact that the
Association spends a large sum
each year for the Old Settlers

While the loyal fans pro-

five fouls and Cowboy Ray had
four. Total team fouls hurt
Paducah badly as they had 20
to Detroit’s 14. Detroit also
fired in 24 of their 32 free
shots while the Dragons had
14 of 22 from the charity line.
After a sparkling first
quarter, which ended with the
Dragons leading 17-13, the
lads from Paducah began to
fall behind as they were hit
from all sides by the fired-up
Eagles of Detroit and at
half, they led by a slim

Usually the Dragons have a
hot third quarter, but this time,
the tables were turned and the
Eagles pulled ahead 46-40. With
Association president
Swisher County Judge Jack
Driskill, Tulia, said approxi-
mately 400 judges and com-
missioners from 140 West
Texas counties are expected to
attend. All sessions will be
held in the Blackstone Hotel,
he added.
He listed the March 17 speak-
ers as Herbert C. Petry, Jr.,
member of the Texas High-
way Commission and Gov.
Smith. Both will speak at the .
morning session.
Speakers on March 18 willbe
Lt. Gov. Barnes; State Repre-
sentative Ralph Wayne, Plain-
view; State Representative
W. S. (Bill) Heatly, Paducah;
and Judge J. C. Davis, Jr.,
assistant state attorney

That inch or two of partly
cloudy that you waded through
to the car Monday morning was
really snow; almost the first
for Cottle County this season.
March, always bringing sur-
prises in one form or another,
surprised area residents with
a little touch of winter that
began Sunday a. m. in the form
of sleety rain and turned,about
dusk, into snow, sticking on
buildings and lawns but melt-
ing on sidewalks and pave-
ments.
Fire Chief Price Sandlin re-
ports that .30 inch moisture
was received from the falling
weather, bringing the total for
the year to la27 inches. Only a
trace of rain was received
in January and 1.07 inch in
February. Part of February’s
moisture came in the form of
mixed snow, sleet and rain
which melted as soon as it hit
the ground on Feb. 16. The total
moisture from the mixture a-
mounted to only .08 inch.
The fleecy lamb which March
brought in melted away by
9:30 a. m. Monday but Sandlin
said the forecast was calling
for 20% chance for moisture
on Tuesday and 40% chance by
Tuesday night or Wednesday, so
Paducah may get some winter
after all.
The Muscular Dystrophy
Drive has been completed in
Cottle County with a total of

gan the drive by placing

8, Mushinski with 3, Dale
Harrison and Ronald Skinner
with 2 points each.
High man for Detroit was
Glen Coleman, fine all around
athlete, who cleaned the back-
boards for rebounds and ripped
the nets for 30 points.
It was the end of the road
for the Dragons who finished an
outstanding season with an
admirable 29 wins, 6 losses
record.
Detroit went on to beat vaunt-
ed Albany 78-74 in the finals
Saturday morning for a berth
in the State playoffs this week-
end in Austin. The Saturday
game was tied up at the end of
regulation play and three over-
time periods were required to
determine the winner.
tickets for the supper may be
obtained from any Association
member on either day of the
show.
The sale will follow the
chili supper, at 8 p. m. Sat-
urday, in the big new show barn.
Bristo stated that all animals
for the show must be in the
barns by 10 p.m. Friday,
March 14. Judging of dairy
cattle, beef cattle and rabbits
will begin at 9 a. m. Saturday.
Swine judging will be Saturday
afternoon, beginning at 1:30.
Miss Judy Gosnell, spokes-
man for the Exhibits projects,
said that the displays must be
in place Friday. Divisions in
this category include (1)
Sciences and Hobbies; (2) Foods
(3) Clothing and (4) Handiwork.
Judges for the exhibits will be
out of town county agents and
judging of these projects will
begin at 10 a. m. Saturday.
All projects to be shown, both
animal and exhibits must be
pre-registered by Friday,
March 7. Extra entry forms
may be obtained in the county
agent’s office.
Single entries in the animal
divisions may be shown in one
class only and exhibits may
enter only one piece or collect-
ion of work in a division.
A washrack has been con-
structed this week in the show
barn. Cement for the rack
was purchased with money from
the Light Bulb sale by Paducah
Lions Club last year. Any 4-H
of FFA exhibitor may clean
their animal at this rack be-
fore show time.
Bristo said that a “Superior
type 10 week old registered pig
will be auctioned off preceding
the sale Saturday night. The
entire population of Cottle and
King Counties is urged to
attend this show and sale.”
Animal projects which are to
be shown are considered pro-
ductive projects and must
habe been owned by the ex-
hibitor and been on feed for
90 days prior to the show.
Other non- animal enter-
prises that constitute pro-
duction projects are wheat,
cotton, grain sorghums, and
gardens.
“These projects,” Bristo
said, “cannot, of course, be
shown, but several 4-H and
FFA members do have this type
project instead of animals. One
current co-op and individual
productive project conducted
by the FFA is the farming of all
vacant city lots in vegetable
crops.”
“The 4-H, under supervision
of L. M. McCarroll and Judy
Gosnell, county agents, has
small grain demonstration
plots and later on will have
cotton and grain sorghum de-
monstrations; all of which are
productive enterprises being
conducted in an educational
manner for the benefit of Cottle
and King County residents,”
Bristo said. “Therefore, we
solicit the participation of all
Cottle and King County re-
sidents in contributing their
time and supporting these pro-
ductive enterprises.”
Ribbons and awards for the
show are furnished each year
by the Cottle-King Horse and
Colt Show Association.
The concession stand will be
operated all day Saturday by
the Cottle and King County 4-H
froups, under the direction of
4-H Adult leaders.
In addition to Judge Driskill
other current association offi-
cers are Lubbock County Judge
Rodrick Shaw, vice president
and Extor CountyCommission-
treasuere.
Directors are Randall
County Commissioner B. R.
Jones; Roberts County Com-
missioner Woods King; Hale
County Judge C. L. Abernethy
and Cottle County Com-
missioner Ewell Walker.
