LUTHER L. CARROLL
THE FELLERS AT the Sit
and Spit bench meetin’Saturday
night was, in a manner of
speakin, bringin’ in the loose
ends fer the closing year of
1966. They took in everthing
from lawyers to blandes. from
Lyndon’s “Guide Lines' to a
pore man’s weakness for strong
drink. First off, one feller re-
ported he saw in the papers
where more than half of all the
candidates fer office elected in
November, at state and national
level, was lawyers.

BUT I TOLD ’em I couldn’t
let the old year die out without
gitten in a plug fer the Good Ole
GOP. And I told ’em the victory
on Nov. 8 was proof that liberal-
ism is goin’ down the drain.
Very little publicity was give
the fact that the R vote nation-
wide was over two million ahead
of the Democrats. The disease
of the Lyndonitis that has been
aflictin’ our nation can be cured
in 1968 by a revolt within the
ballot boxes from Main to any-
where.
Pilot Point defeated Sanger by
a 36-17 score to take the-conso-
lation trophy in the girls’ divi-
sion.
Three Indians were placed on

This applies to all mail
receptacles and the mail in
them, even though the boxes are
bought by citizens and are their
personal property, Postmaster
Richardson emphasized.
“Pranksters—and especially
children who do not know any
better-should be made to
realize the seriousness of their
actions ” the Postmaster said.
“A $1,000 fine or a term in
jail is enough to take the humor
out of any prank.’’
Often the mailbox damage is
the work of youths, who do it
for “kicks.” And the courts
have shown little sympathy for
this youthful means of expres-
sion. In Michigan, a justice
sentenced two 18-year olds to
10 days in jail, Including two on
a diet of baby food. The diet
specification, explained the
judge, was because the youths
“acted like babies.' They were
also fined $25 each jiluse $15
costs.
In New York state, five youths
were fined $25 each plus resti-

through Febriary 5.
The booster trip was coor-
dinated with the civic clubs,.the
Fort Worth Chamber of Com-
merce, the Sanger Chamber of
Commerce and the Southwes-
tern Exposition and Fat Stock
Show.
Feature attractions of the
1967 Rodeo are Festus Higgen,
star of TV’s top rated “Gui-
smoke”, with “The Frontiers-
man”, a Country and Western
music group, and plenty of ro-
deo action. Over 450 cowboys
competing for nearly $75,000 in
prize money and en‘ry fees on
some of the meanest bulls and
broncs in the business.
In addition to Festus and
rodeo excitement, several out-
standing specialty acts have
been signed for 1967. As al-
ways, the Fort Worth Rodeo,
‘‘the World’s Original Indoor
Rodeo”, will present only the
best in entertainment.

This will apply to all standard
service and not to special equip -
ment. There will also be a re-
duction in the one-time charge
made on colored telephones
from $7.50 to $5.00.
Reductions in long distance
rates will also go into effect
January 1, 1967. This state-
wide reduction will amount to
$6,000,000.00 annually for all
telephone subscribers within
the state. This will be the tenth
reduction in long distance rates
for Texas telephone users since
the end of World War II and the
second voluntary reduction in
the last two years.
Although technological deve-
lopments have played a major
role in keeping the cost of
telephone service at a reason-
able level, this reduction in
rates is also due to the co-
operation of the telephone users
in placing calls by area codes
and by numbers. Increased us-
age of the station to station
rate has also been a factor in
the reductions.

year 196T an expansion and im-

ANOTHER GUY WAS of the
opinion that there was one thing
wrong with this country. He said
he didn’t have nothing agin the
legal profession, but things
would be a heap better off if we
had more farmers and ranch-
ers in Washington. He even went
so far as to say a few Coun-
try Editors was needed in the
Congress. One of the fellers,
though, agreed and said he could
recollect a few years ago when
three-fourths of the state legis-
lature in Florida was lawyers
and they passed a state law that
nobody but lawyers could draw
up a deed or a mortgage. He
claimed if this trend kept up we
would soon have a law that
“wherefore and whereas” was
1 a misdemeanor fer anybody but
a lawyer.

I TOLD ’EM I didn’t like to
change the subject but had saw
where some beauty expert
reported that about 40 per cent
of the wimmen in the United
States was now artificial
blondes but the genuine blonde
was gitten mighty scarce in
this country. And I was won-
derin’, since Americans had a
habit of hoardin ever thing that
was scarce, how they was goin
about it to hoard blondes. The
fellers couldn’t give me any
help on this subject. Some other
feller butted in and was
lamenting that he saw where the
price of bread might be “ad-
justed” up a little more in
1967. This other feller took it
up from there and was of the
opinion Lyndon’s “Guide
Lines” fer prices and labor
wages went down the drain in
1966.

i FER INSTANT HE said his
latest pamphlet from the U. S.
0 • Dept., of Agriculture wasbrag-
W,/ gin on itself fer grantin wheat
n farmers permission to plant 15
/ ' per cent more land in wheat
/ J in 1967. At the same time, he
reported, Secretary Freeman
said this increase would be
needed fer our increased food
help program fer foreign coun-
tries. In short, he allowed the
price of bread would rise in
1967 and the grocers would git
the blame fer it. 1 told ’em
also, that it was no wonder more
and more pore folks was takin’
to strong drink, that they was
drinkin to fergit. But personal.
Mister Editor, I have took note
that most of the folks that drinks
to fergit ain’t got much to
remember.
