Former Drug Addict

JV Slaps Wolves
Whitewright junior varsity kicked
loose for two touchdowns against Wolfe
City Thursday night, but that was enough
to insure the Tiger cubs with a 14-8
victory against Wolfe City.
Quarterback Terry Clark engineered an
80-yard drive in the first quarter which
ended in a 15-yard scoring run by Arty
Kimbell.
Midway through the second quarter,
Terry Thomas fell on a Wolfe fumble on
the Wolfe City 35-yard line. Two plays
later Ronnie Forner scored on a 32-yard
run.
Wolfe City mounted a 75-yard drive in
the second quarter which ended with a
TD.
Ex-convict, former heroin addict and
pusher, Bobby Mankin, now an
evangelist, will conduct a revival at the
First Baptist Church of Whitewright from
Nov. 27 to Dec. 5, according to the First
Baptist Church minister, Rev. Douglas
Rymer.
Mankin will also speak before a high
school assembly at 10:25 a.m. on Nov.
30.
Revival programs will begin at 7:30
p.m. nightly. The music director will be
Bob Elmore of Kilgore.
Mankin, now a 33-year-old senior at
East Texas Baptist College, was expelled
from a Houston High school at the age of
17 for possession of marijuana.
Eventually Mankin graduated from
marijuana and was hooked on heroin. To
support his habit, he began selling heroin
he smuggled out of Mexico. For 10 years
he was in and out of prisons and
hospitals.
Eventually, out of desperation,
Mankin was talked into visiting the Teen
Liberator’s Center near Houston. A
conversion occurred, and Mankin became
determined to kick his habit
permanently.
“At the center they really care for
you,” Mankin said. “No one had ever
taken so much trouble for me. There was
a boy, a preacher’s son, who stayed with
me all night praying and reading to me
from the Bible. And I was in agony. I
couldn’t have made it without his care.
That boy didn’t know anything about
dope, but he knew about God, and that’s
what mattered then.”
Mankin stayed at the center for almost
a year after his conversion, speaking often
at youth rallies, giving his testimonial.
He supports himself by speaking at
churches and schools. When he graduates
from college, he wants to be an evangelist
specializing in work with misdirected
youth.

Mrs. Burleson, along with the pastor,
Rev. Bill Grisham, expressed appreciation
to the workers and to all who contributed
for this worthwhile endeavor.
Friday night, the Tigers and Panthers
will be battling for the district title for
the first time in several years. To take the
district championship, Whitewright must
defeat or tie Van Alstyne.
The winner of the title-motivated clash
will face the champion of district 13-A,
probably Wylie if the Pirates remain
undefeated.

The Volunteer Fire Department will
stage their annual Swiss Steak Supper this
Saturday night at Firemens Hall. They
have set a goal of 500 to feed, and the
proceeds will be used to defray expenses
on the recently purchased fire truck.
When the fire whistle blows Saturday
night, it means “come and get it,” says
Bussy Thornhill, secretary of the firemen.
Trash pickups may soon be progressing
faster and more efficiently with the
assistance of a new trash truck which the
city council has authorized purchase of.
The dump bed was purchased from the
Hobbs Trailer Company for $3,687.60.
The truck body for the apparatus was
purchased from Edwards Chevrolet for
approximately $3,500. According to city
secretary Helen Billner, the truck, termed
a “Hobbs Side Loading Trash Packer,”
will be in regular operation on Monday
morning.
The city secretary also announced that
Monday will be an important day for dog
owners in the city.
After Monday, city dog catchers
Arthur Ballard and Fred Wright will be
picking up dogs on complaints and dogs
not vaccinated and licensed by the city.

ystem plan would be changed soon.
Jnder the new plan, the number of books
which a library can borrow through the
loan system would be dependent on the
amount of taxfsupport for the library and
other yet-to-be-determined criteria such
as the total budget of the library.
■ Miss Martin said that federal grants
were available for small libraries but only
if the library had an operating budget of
$5,000 or more yearly with half that
amount from the city government,
10,000 library quality volumes on hand, a
paid librarian, and at least 20 hours of
open time every week. At present the
library is open 12 hours weekly, has no
tax support, operates entirely by
volunteer labor and has only 5,000
volumes.
If the Whitewright City Library did
achieve those goals, it would be eligible
for yearly grants of from $1,000 to
$4,000, Miss Martin said.
Miss Martin also recommended the
installation of a phone in the library,
opening the library one evening every
week for students or working adults and
submitting a request to Grayson County
officials for money to help maintain the
library. At present only the communities
of Whitewright, Van Alstyne and
Whitesboro have libraries outside Denison

Mrs. Betty Burleson reported the “best
ever” UNICEF drive which was sponsored
by the First United Methodist Church last
week. - The workers gathered
contributions of over $112.00. This was
the largest amount received from this
annual effort.

and Sherman, she said. The county does
not contribute to the upkeep of any of
the libraries although many county
governments do.
The members of the library board and
the Friday Literary Club have done well,
but typically, the larger a library gets, the
more demand there is on the volunteers,”
Miss Martin said. “Eventually the
volunteers drop out, and the city must
then decide what use a closed library is.”
“Five thousand volumes represent
about $25,00(h An investment that large
should be protected and utilized as one of
the city’s most valuable resources,” she
said.
As an alternative proposal, Miss Martin
recommended a sort of loose county
library system. With some county funding
the Denison Library, as an example,
could purchase and catalogue books for
the three small city library systems.
Ordering and labeling books takes up the
majority of a librarian’s time, she said.
Two consecutive blocked punts in the
second quarter of play by Wolfe City
shoved Whitewright into a 14-point
deficit against the Wolfe City Wolves
Friday night, but the Tigers came back in
time to tie the game, 14-14.
But the surprising showing of the
Wolves over the heavily-favored Tigers
was overshadowed by a convincing
slamming of Honey Grove b,y the Van
Alstyne Panthers, 26-7. The Panthers,
who were thought to be down and out of
district competition, capitalized on four
fumbles and three interceptions to upset
the Warriors.
right end, then cut to the middle of the
field and outraced defenders for 66 yards
and a TD. Terry Lewis then passed to
Arterberry for two points on a perfectly
executed fake kick.
Apparently feeling that what worked
once will work again, quarterback Jimmy
Spann called Arterberry’s number again
on the same play in the fourth quarter
with identical results.
This time Arterberry scrambled 72
yards to paydirt. The point-after kick,
which would have cinched the game for
the Tigers, went wide.
Arterberry was the leading rusher as he
carried 18 times for 234 yards — a
creditable 13-yard-per-carry average.
Wolfe City picked off three Spann
passes, including a last minute
desperation heave. But Arterberry, the
intended receiver, ran down the defender
and prevented a certain touchdown. The
Tigers held and the Wolves attempted a
30-yard field goal which was blocked.
The Tigers play in Van Alstyne Friday
night. Kickoff time for the final regular
season game is 7:30 p.m.
Statistics

Formal workouts will not begin for the boy’s squad until football season is
completed, Coach Capps said, but the tryouts for the girl’s team are underway
how. The girls were scheduled for an intersquad scrimmage Tuesday to cut the
team to manageable size. The girl’s team is scheduled to play their first regular
game Nov. 16 at S & S. The boys varsity squad is not scheduled for a regular
game until Nov. 23 when the Anna Coyotes will visit Tiger Gymnasium.
