Deaf Smith County will not

the Deaf Smith County Commls-
iloners Court Monday
The desirability of having the
services of a juvenile officer for
the 69th Judicial District has
been discussed jieriodicafly a-
mong the commissioner's courts,
superintendents and trustees of
the independent school districts
throughout the six-county district
for the past three years
Joseph J. Deft add, Amarillo,
had f»een nominated for the pos'

ry Schultz who also recommend-
ed an annual salary of $7.20)
to be paid in 12 equal install-
ments Additionally, office space
was to t>e furnished free, a
desk, a filing cabinet, typewrit-
er and telejtoonc. He would
also have been paid 10 cents per
mile automobile allowance and
reimbursed for actual cost of
meals and lodgings while away
from his office in the discharge
of his duties
The salary for such an offi-
cer would be apportioned amorfg
the counties of the 69fh Judicial
District in accordance with the
population of toe counties. By
this formula. Deaf Smith County
would have paid $2,317 6R second
only to Moore County, which
would top the scale at $2,596 3Q
Dallam Co. would have been
third with a total payment of
W. 107 38 while Oldham. Hartley
and Sherman Counties would pay
the remaining *1,177.
But the proposal did not meet
approval of the county commis-
stoners here They rejected ft

posal on Dee. IS

To Abandon UF?
Nobody would come out in
toe open and said it, but toe
general feeling is that some
uf the UF agencies will probably
launch out on their own in an
attempt to get operating funds
for 1965 As long as they are
UF members, they are prohibit-
ed from doinc so.
The $29.22 figure — this
year's UF goal — was the sum
of the seven agencies' minimum
needs for the year's operations
In a sometimes heated session, the Deaf Smith County
Commissioners Court Monday ruled by a split 3-2 vote that
the "rotation" plan adopted two years ago for the county 1
, child welfare board would again be suspended.
Judge H. C. (Hank) William's vote was required to break
a 2-2 deadlock on a motion to continue the rotation which

CRIME PROBE
What happens next? , m
That was the unanswered;
question with United Fund offi-
cials Wednesday morning after
the organization's "last-ditch” j
fund drive fell short Tuesday'
night in an attempt to bridge;
the $7,000 gap between the a-
vailable funds and the $29,222
goal.
The march by mothers of chil- <
dren participating in UF agen-
cies’ activities and other inter-;
ested women resulted in toe'
collection of $1,015.17.
Turnout Poor
The amount contributed was j
excellent as far as it went, said —

of women participating. "Wei
