Bill Webb, disaster loan
officer from the Lubbock
Small Business Administra-
tion office, will discuss the
1978 disaster loan program
when the Stephenville chapter
of Young Farmers of America
meets Tuesday night at 7 p.m.
at the Texas A&M Research
and Extension Center.
Applications for participa-
tion in the program are due to
SBA offices by March 6. (See
related story on page 10A).
Farmers and ranchers who
qualify for this loan program
will receive loans calling for
three percent interest and an
intermediate time.
All interested farmers and
ranchers are invited to attend
the meeting, according to Gail
Christian, chapter advisor. He
said a number of farmers
have picked up loan forms but
have not filled them out and
the meeting will be a good
opportunity for them to ask
any questions they might
have.
Adkisson resigned as depart-
ment head to become vice
president for agriculture and
renewable resources. Since
that time, Dr. Jimmy K.
Olson, whose special field is
medical entomology, has
served as acting department
head.
“We are most appreciative
of the fine work done by Dr.
Olson during the months he
has been acting head," Kunkel
emphasized
Maxwell presently is re-
sponsible for administration
and programs of all research.

What do 25-year-old dolls,

Jewelry and travel brochures

They are among the
offerings available at Stephen-
ville’s newest mini-mall,
Washington Place. And if
owner Helen Allen has her
way, Washington Place will
one day be a collection of the
“finest shops in town."
Mrs. Allen said the main
reason she decided to open the
mall was that she needed a
place from which to sell her
antiques. “I saw a sign in front
of the place," she said, “so I
talked with the real estate
agent about it and decided to
buy."
That was over a year ago,
Mrs Allen continued. She said
she offered seven spaces for
lease about two weeks ago and
already has three of them

( Maxwell earlier served for a
year with the Secretary of
Agriculture, where he coor-
dinated environmental quality
activities.
Maxwell was professor and
head of the Department of
Entomology at Mississippi
State University from 1961
until 1975. From 1961 until he
took that position, Maxwell
was with the USDA Boll
Weevil Research Laboratory
at Mississippi State as project
leader of a research team in
development of basic breeding
lines of cotton resistant to
insect attack.
He was instructor of
entomology at Kansas State

Opening a business is
nothing new to Mrs. Allen, as
many readers may know. She
is responsible for opening
three nursing homes in town,
owns 22 rent houses and ran
La Boutique Antiques from
1967 until her husband'S death
in 1972.
‘■‘I’ve always loved old
things,'' Mrs Allen continued,
“I bought my first antique
when I was 17 - a kerosene
lamp that I paid 150 for."
Little by little she began
collecting antiues for her
home, she said, and eventual-
ly decided to go into the
antique business. Her search
has taken her into the
northern portion of the U.S
and as far away as England,
France and Italy.
Mrs Allen pointed out a
French love seat done in aqua
velvet and lace as one of her
most prized possessions. The
love seat was once part of the
Gore estate in Massachusetts
Gore was a wealthy man
who willed most of his
furniture to a museum. Mrs.
Allen’s couch and a serving
cart are the only pieces of
furniture that were sold to the
public. Mrs. Allen estimated
her love seat to be worth 54500
“A lady in Waco owns the
server," she said. “She's
