Archer and Herkey Biffle who really put on a good
show and enjoyed themselves in the process,”
Lawler said.
Knight dressed as a witch doctor in a skimpy
grass skirt and coconut-shell brassiere, while
Biffle looked quite countryfied as a farm boy with
no shirt and overalls. Archer came adorned as the
Queen of Hearts and was awarded the Best
Dressed Waitrae prize for her efforts.
During a portion of the night’s activities, Knight,
Biffle and several other celebrities performed a La
Baresque dance number while audience members
stuffed dollar bills into various nooks and crannies
of their costumes. Knight was the top tip earner,
garnering $40 for the fund drive.
During the action portion of the evening, atten-
dees scooped up a number of prized item up for
grabs and contributed about $5,400 to the $7,000
residence on County Road 678.
■ A color television, a VCR, an
eight-track stereo, four VCR tapes,
a telephone ansering machine, and
a compact disc player were re-
ported stolen from a residence on
County Road 148.
April 13
■ A VCR, a 10-inch black-and-
white television, two jewelry boxes
and jewelry, and and oscillating fan
were reported stolen from a resi-
dence on County Road 403.
April 13
■ Tools valued at $200 were re-
ported stolen from the bed of a
pickup truck while it was parked
for viewing throughout the
month of May and has been or-
ganized as a sort of tribute to
Gainesville’s Depot Days cel-
ebration. You’ll be able to listen
to a rousing railroad song and
see a souvenir from the first
airplane to land in Cooke
County.
So it’s “All Aboard" for fun at
Morton Museum during the
month of May. If you’d like to
hear more details, call the mu-
seum at 668-8900.
FOR THOSE who’ve asked,
Maggie is recovering rapidly
from recent surgery. Gosh, she
just had to do well since she has
so many friends who’ve done a
lot to help during her recuper-
ation period.
My better half thanks
you.. .and I thank you.
THIS WRITER has been pre
tty busy of late and I’ve
bumped into many of your
friends in the process.
I spent a few moments, for
example, chatting with Jim
Coke, owner of the Hitchin’
Post truck stop that’s located
north of town on Interstate 35.
And, too, I talked for awhile to
James Yosten. James is man-
ager for Gainesville’s branch of
the H&W Meat Market oper-
ation.

A matted and framed, autographed game jersey
from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar brought the hefty fig-
ure of $1,800, while an autographed Boston Celtic
game ball netted $300. A Hershel Walker game
jersey hauled in another $375, Lawler said.
The mission of the American Heart Association
is the prevention of premature death or disability
from cardio-vascular diseases, including heart at-
tack and stroke, Lawler said.
“And for us to do that prevention, we need to
raise the funds for reseach and development as
well as the communication efforts and organ-
ization necessary to accomplish that goal. Satur-
day night the people of Cooke County did a great
deal to help us surpass our goal and aid in the fight
against the number one killers in Texas and the
nation—heart attacks and strokes, ” Lawler said.

DID YOU have the oppor-
tunity of watching the telecast
of The Dallas News Regional
Spelling Bee?
It took place last Saturday
morning and was particularly
interesting since a Cooke
County lad was one of the stars
of the show. The young man’s
name is Andy Wang and I’d like
to compliment him on the fine
showing he made during the
spelling competition.
No, he didn’t win, but it was
pretty doggone good just to
reach the finals of the spelling
bee and Andy did well in the
pressure-packed televised
competition. He’s a student at
St. Mary’s Parochial School in
this city and was Cooke
County’s representative in the
spelling finals.
Congrulations are in order
for a job well done.

MEMBERS OF the Cooke
County Heritage Society are
excited about the opening of a

It’s called, “All Aboard for a
Trip Down Transportation

Butterfield Stage Line through
the era of the railroad,
automobile and airplane.

DON'T YOU AGREE
___________By EMLW. CLEMENT___________
Someone said, "The possible should be done, the impossible has to be
done." Just look around you, then reflect on what life was a hundred years
ago... If men and women like Edison, Salk, Einstein, Barton, Nation, etc. were
willing to accept the impossible then our world would still be in the Dark
Ages. But thanks to so many capable dreamers with vision, the impossible
has become a reality that we can accept and appreciate as part of our daily
routine.
Part of the joy of living is striving for the indispensable. Whether or not you
attain all your goals is not the important issue. The satisfaction is derived from
the honest effort you have made through life to reach the pinnacles of
mortality... There is so much in life that is intolerable. The hungry get hungrier,
the oppressed being more oppressed, and above all, the threat of cata-
strophic war hanging over our heads... These are situations that are not to be
borne by civilization but to be fought constantly so that someday they may
be eradicated, do not bear the intolerable but be frightfully aware of the fact
that they are with us. Being knowledgeable is the first step; the next step is to
do something about them with every means possible... Don't have an attitude
of accepting life as it is. Be optimistic — and further develop what is good and
eliminate what is bad; and for the really good life, dream on with the
intentions of making them come true...
