White and Webb hold the only
two council offices which the con-
stitution established. In accord
with the by-laws and constitution
unamimously adopted by delegates
at the meeting, various member
organizations will report their ac-
tivities each month to Webb. “In
this way we feel we’ll avoid con-
flicts in scheduling activities and
at the same time arouse interest
in community events,” said Webb.
The constitution says the pur-
pose of the council "shall be to
further better understanding be-
tween member organizations and
to promote better feelings and un-
derstanding by the general public
toward member organizations.”

MY DOG SPOT
I’m quoting Bill Hooten of The
El Paso Times:
“To all essayists we would like
to commend the clarity, brevity
and general interest of the follow-
ing from the pen of eight-year-old
John Morrison of Rochester, N. Y.,
on ‘What My Dog Means to Me.’
“ ‘My dog means somebody nice
and quiet to be with. He does not
say ‘Do’ like my mother, or ‘Don’t’
like my father, or ‘Stop’ like my
big brother. My dog Spot and I
sit together quietly and I like him
and he likes me’.”
The foregoing brings to mind a
scene P witnessed a few days ago.
I don’t know the man’s name, but
he was blind, and he was faithfully
following a Seeing Eye Dog down
the street. Dog and man were
welded into one being, the dog
providing vision and the man com-
manding the dog.
At the suggestion of his master
that it was time to eat, the dog
led the man unerringly to the
nearest restaurant, guided him to
a table and nudged him safely to
a chair. Then the dog lay down
alongside his master and watched
over him while he enjoyed his
meal. Loyalty, plus!

According to Sheriff Bill Eddins
and Highway Patrolman Bob
Cheek who investigated the acci-
dent, Britton was driving his
Dodge four-door sedan about a
mile and a half north of Wink
toward Kermit when he hit the

HANK’S STILL
ON THE BALL
Henry Vermillion, who published
The News before selling it to Nev
Williams, comes up with this story
concerning a merchant who had
an enormous stock of salt on his
shelves:
“You must sell a lot of salt,” a
customer remarked.
“No, I don’t sell very much
salt,” replied the merchant. “But
that salesman who calls on, me—
man, can HE sell salt!”

DO YOU JUST BELONG?
Are you an active member, the
kind that would be missed,
Or are you just contented, that
your name is on the list?
Do you attend the meetings and
mingle with the flock,
Or do you stay at home and criti-
cize and knock?
Do you take an active part to
help the work along,
Or are you satisfied to be the one
that’ll just belong,
Or do you leave the work to a
few—and talk about the cliqut?
Do you ever go to visit a member
who is sick?
There is quite a program sched-
uled that you’ve no doubt heard
about,
And we’ll appreciate it if YOU
come and help us out.
So come to all the meetings and
help with hand and heart.
Don’t be just a member, but take
an active part.
Think this over, member; yot
know right from wrong,
Are you an active member, or do
you JUST BELONG?

CONCLUSION
Any man who would deny his
fellowman succor deserves no con
sideration from those who would
persecute him.
Each member organization will
send a delegate and an alternate
to the council although more mem-
bers may attend if they so wish,
state the officers.
Fred Pearson, who represented
the Lions Club, - presided at the
meeting. Other delegates present
were:
Sewell Couch, Ted White and
Crickett Christian, 20-30 Club;
Jack Hancock, fire department;
Don Tracy, Chamber of Commerce;
Miss Eddie Mae Mosley, Munici-
pal Concerts Association; Mrs.
Gerald McGuire and Mrs. Crickett
Christian, Garden Club.
Others were: Mrs. Laura Furga-
son, Business and Professional Wo-
men’s Club; Lyndon Webb, Ameri-
can Legion; and Elbert Medlin,
Lions Club.
The motion to adopt the con-
stitution and by-laws was made
by Don Tracy. The next meeting
of the council will be a called
one.
Officials of the Winkler County
Municipal Concerts Association
have received a number of re-
quests for information concerning
when members will receive their
permanent membership certifi-
cates to replace receipts issued
them when their memberships
were paid.
Mrs. Laura Furgason, secretary
of the local organization, stated
that these membership cards will
be mailed within the next few
weeks. The delay, she stated, was
caused by the necessity of all
membership cards in the United
States being uniform and, there-
fore, the supply of cards must be
received from national headquar-
ters. Membership entitles card
holders to admission free to any
of the 300 Municipal Concerts or-
ganizations in the United States
should they be in another sub-
scriber city when a concert is be-
ing held.

Winkler County was among 200
counties who exceeded their Op-
