Burial was in Crosbyton ceme-

Thomas was killed at 7:15 a.
m. last Thursday morning, July
5, when his light crop-dusting
plane fell in the C. C. Sanders
pasture about 18 miles northeast
of Dickens. Cause of the fatal ac-
cident has not been determined.
A Marine Corps veteran of
World War II, he was killed in-
stantly when the plane nose-
dived-into^the- ground.
Thomas was operating a plane
owned by Jack Hash of this city.
He and Hash, also piloting a
plane, were dusting cotton on
the E. R. Robertson farm. They
were accompanied by John Da-
vis and Rodney Mitchell, who
were assisting by flaging the
planes at the end of the cotton
rows. A slight rise prevented the
George Barton had also accom-
panied the crew, but as he was
at the landing strip some dis.

Thomas had reloaded his plane
and had flown once through the
field from west to east. The acci-
dent occurred on pasture land
adjoining the field, the plane
dropping to the grond on its pro-
peller, Mr. Robertson, only eye-
witness, told Sheriff C. C. Kim-
mel of Dickens. It crashed
approximately a quarter-mile
from where Hash was starting to
land to reload, and was almost
demolished.
Thomas was a first lieutenant
in the last war, and was a mem-
ber of the U. S. Marine Corps Re-
serve. He had lived here about
five years. His wife, Virginia
Nell, is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Owen Crump of this city.

Rev. Marvin Boyd To
Preach At Methodist
Church on.Su!td$y_
Rev. Marvin Boyd, district su-
perintendent of the Plainview
district, will preach at the 11
o'clock hour Sunday at the First
Methodist church. The pastor,
Rev. Lloyd Hamilton, is away on
vacation. The public is cordially
Invited to hear Rev. Boyd.
At the Sunday evening ser-
vice, starting at 8 o'clock, John
Davis, son of Mr. and Mrs. John _
P. Davis, will preach his first ser
niDt
next year, plans to enter college
as a ministerial student after he
completes his high school work.
Directors of two civic organiza-
tions in the city voted this week
to co-operate in a plan to beau-
tify the city park in the center of
the square. Work on the project
is to begin immediately, it was
decided.
At a session last night, Wed-
nesday, Chamber of Commerce
directors authorized the expendi-
ture of sufficient money to re-
move the old Chinese elm trees
from the northwest quarter of
the park and to plant grass in
the plot. Any further plantings
-will have to wait until trans-
planting time next winter and
spring, it was pointed out.
The chamber of commerce di-
rectors "ialsQ authorized the fin-
ancing of the building of two
croquet courts m the' southeast
quarter of the park. These courts
are to have concrete curbs a-
round them, and a two-inch lay-
er of sand covering them. Supt.
Fred Cunningham has volun-
teered to furnish the labor in
making these courts possible.
Only enough trees will be re-
moved in this quarter to permit
the building of the courts.
At a director's meeting of the
Crosbyton Lions club Wednes-
day following the noon-day lun-
cheon, it was voted to make the
park project a permanent pro-
ject of the club. Under the pl#n
the club would furnish supple-
mental funds for caring for the
park each year in the event the
City Commission does not have
the funds avat+abter—
However, it was pointed out
that the club does not have suf-
ficient funds at the present time
to start any work on the project.
Some type of fund raising pro-
gram will have to be carried out
frefore-~the~efob-€ati_do anv work
on the park.
The City Commission, in ses-
sion Monday; authorized.the ci-
vic organizations to proceed with
the project as outlined, and pro-
mised all the assistance the city
was able to give. Water is to be
furnished free of charge for the
project, and a plan is being
worked out to furnish labor for
the upkeep.
This plan. Mayor Cary Lodal
pointed out Wednesday, would
depend entirely on the co-opera-
tion of the merchants. At the
present time the trash pick-up
employee in the business dis-
trict is furnishing janitor ser-
vice for many business houses,
by going into the stores and
gathering up the trash. It is
pointed out that if this trash
John Steadham
Named Clerk of
School Board
John Steadham was chosen
Tuesday night by the Crosbyton
school board as tax assessor and
clerk of thb board, at the regular
meeting of the trustees. He takes
the place of Edgar Allen, long
time clerk of the board, who has
been forced to resign due to ill
health.
The board commended Mr. Al-
len highly for his long and
faithful service to the school dis-
trict, and expressed regret that
he had been forced to resign be-
cause of his health.
The board also accepted with
regret the resignation of L. H.
Finch as a member of the school
board, made necessary because
of kinship with the newly elect-
ed clerk, Mr. Steadham. Mr.
Finch has served on the board
for four years, has worked con-
scienciously"at the job and has
taken unusual interest in the
progress of the school.
His successor has not yet been
named by the board.
were gathered together and plac-
ed in a convenient location in
easily handled containers, the
time required for handling the
trash would be cut materially.
This would giv.e the employee
some time to spend on the park.
July Is Month
To Make Annual
School Transfers
July is the month to transfer
students from one school district
to another, D. A. Edwards, coun-
ty superintendent, is reminding
the public this week.
The law requires that all stu-
dents who plan to attend school
out of their home district, must
-be transferred, regardless of
whether their grade is taught in
the home district or not.
Transferring saves a lot^'of red
tape which becomes necessary if
the child is not transferred, Mr.
Edwards said. He urges parents
to cooperate in seeing that the
transfers are made.
Consolidations in the past two
years have cut down the number
of transfers in the county consid-
erably, he said, but there are
still about 150 to 160 Students
affected.

the boys will sleep in the gym-

served in the lunch room. Pre-
season scrimmages with neigh-
boring teams have been arrang-
ed, Coach Erwin stated.
One change has been made in
the schedule for this fall. The
game with Boys' Ranch has been
cancelled on their request. To
take 4ts place, a two-year con-
tract has been signed with Stan-

Kewanee No. 1
Cannon Spudded
In On Monday
It seems that one wildcat oil
test must be in progress at all
times in Crosby county, even
though as yet the county has
no well in production.
Two announcements were
made the first of the week. The
first was that Tidewater Associa-
ted Oil Company's No. I, Hick-
man on the East Plains had
been plugged "and abandoned.
Rig movers came in Monday to
'dismantle and move the huge
rig used in the drilling opera-
tion.
The second announcement was
the southeast corner of the coun-
ty 18 miles from Crosbyton, was
spudded to 238 feet, cemented 13
and three-eighths inch surface
casing at that point, and had
drilled plug to start drilling op-
erations. This test is located 660
M l fmin the nnrth, , wnd west

And over in Dickens county
Just below the Caprock there is
reported to be a new test just a-
bout ready to spud in. Located
on the Goens Ranch, the loca-
tion is about five miles south-
east of McAdoo and about 1%
miles north of Highway 82. Just

cation would place It eight

Tide Water hole.
Cpl. Bill F. Wheeler, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Rex Wheeler of
this city, hopes to come home
soon from Korea, but there is
no assurance of it, he writes his
parents. Bill is up for rotation
replacement, having spent al-
most a year in combat, but he
may have to stay another ninety
days, he says.
The young corporal was of-
fered a promotion to sergeant if
he would volunteer to remain in
Korea for 90 days. If he doesn't
volunteer, he may have to stay
anyway, he writes.
Cpl. Wheeler is now an am-
bulance driver in the medical
corps, after serving a long
stretch as a rifleman in the in-
fantry. He volunteered for ser-
vice on Aug. 9, 1948, after com-
pleting high school here that
spring. He was shipped overseas
July 18, 1950, and went into ac-
tion on the Puson front on Aug.
8, last year. He went through the
siege of the Puson perimeter,
then in the long drive north-
ward which carried the XL N.
forces to the -border of Manchu-
ria.
Bill has been cut off from the
U. N. lines twice. His first ex-
perienee at being behind enemy
lines was at Puson, when ele-
Tnentsof-the Second Division
were cut oft by the North Ko-
reans. In this encounter 80 offi-
cers of the 200 involved in the
action were killed, in trying to
get equipment out of the pocket.

over the mountains.
Wheeler was injured in this
action, when he picked up an
abandoned North Korean gun,
which exploded in his hand. He
was hospitalized in Korea, but
was back in action in a short
time.
When the Chinese joined the
North Koreans, Wheeler was in
Yalo River section just south
of the Manchurian~l)6Tder His
position was again overrun by
the Chinese, but he made '"'his
way to safety over the moun-
tains.
Soil Conservation District Gets New
Equipment To Carry on County Job
The Crosby County Soil Con-
servation District Supervisors re-
cently, purchased three land
planes and another grass drill
Jof-the district. This equipment
is in addition to the equipment
already purchased in the past
year with money made available
to the district by the Texas Leg-
islature.
^The equipment now owned by-]
the clistriet includes five—land
planes of two types and three
carry-alls in two sizes for level-
ing and moving dirt on irrigated
land. These pieces of equipment
are all hydraulic controlled and
can be used on all makes of
farm tractors. Some makes of
tractors require an additional
hydraulic unit with this equip-
ment that the district has avail-
able. For constructionlarnd inain-
tenance of terraces the District
has two whirlwind terracers that
can be used with any size farm
tractor. i
since' tnete -are. about-
miles of terraces in the District
there is a big need for equip-
ment to maintain terraces at the
end of each crop season.
The two grass drills owned by
the district are designed to drill
native grass in heavy litter for
reseeding 'land not suited for
cultivation. In addition to a re-
gular graip box the drills have
ten small boxes for seeding the
small seed such as clovers, al-
falfa and love grasses. These
drills are almost a necessity in
drilling irrigated pasture mix
tures of grasses and clovers. —
To assist agricultural .agencies
in the district, the §upewk ors
purchased eleven farm level?
and put them in the high school

were also placed in the veterans

To Give Heifers
To Girlstown
Girlstown, U. S. A., located
near Whiteface, will be richer
by three purebred heifers, if the
plans of Crosby County Sheriff's
Posse materialize. At a recent
meeting of that organization, the
members voted to purchase the
three heifers and donate them to
Girlstown, as part of the insti-
tutions .drive to place 100 such
cattle on a 1400-acre plot of
grassland recently acquired.
Several Angus heifers have
already been turned over to the

West Texas.
A total of $119 was donated by
members at the meeting, held
Monday nTghir arweek- ago—At

Crosby, county's row crops are
looking very good, W. R. Kim-
brough, county agent, reported
Tuesday following a 200-mile
trip around the county.
"On an average the crops are
in excellent condition," Mr. Kim-
brough said. "In some areas the
crop is spotted, but for the most .
part we have one of the best
prospects I have seen."
The agent pointed out, how-
ever, that the crops would need
additional rain soon. Much «of
the county does not have suffi-
cient bottom season to keep the '
crops going without periodic
moisture, he pointed out.
Good news also was his state-
ment that there were surprising-
ly few insects that have shown
up to date.
"I rather think the hot, dry •
wind the past few days have
been responsible for killing ma-
ny of the cotton pests," he said.
"HoWever, it is still a little'early *
for them to show up, and he
urges farmers to keep a con-
stant check on their crops. ..«>
Entomologists at Texas A. and
M. failed to identify the millers
which Invaded this area some
three or four weeks ago, Mr.
Kimbrough said. The samples
which he furnished have been
sent on to Washington, he said.
Hhese Millers belong to the
cut worm family, Extension Ser-
vice entomologists believe, but
were not certain of the species.

New City Well
Should Be On
Line Today -
. If everything goes according
to schedule, the new city water
well should be on the line by the
time this paper is received, Ma-
-vy Carv Lodal said Wednesday
morning.
By Tuesday night the contrac-
tor had installed the sand t^ap,
the booster pump and made the
standard, connections to the city
main on Berkshire avenue. Only
thing lacking were six short
pieces of special flanged pipe
which were shipped out of Waco
several days ago but which had
not arrived on Tuesday. These
were to be put on just as soon
as they arrived, either Wednes-
day or this morning.
If the installation has ■'"been
completed, city water users are

they desire, the Mayor said. The
new well will give the city ade-
quate supply to meet any con-
