to be held Friday, May 17, in the
Laguna hotel at Cisco, Jack B.
Robert of Breckenridge, presi-

Chief policy to be discussed is to
be the WCTO&G stand on a per

other associations, elevations sur-
vey, secondary recovery, imports,
allertness for oil field theft, coun-
ty tax values, and pipe lines.
Preliminary talks on most of
these items were held when the
association met here for its first
