ong Awaited Contracts Awarded For White Ri
Only technical details remain-1 District Court delivered his find-
to be settled ^is in iheTii^-4o-ahe water board Satur-
cquisition of the Walker land
r the building of the White
[ver dam and reservoir, Harry
ng, Crosbyton member of the
ict board/said this week.
In the meantime, the directors
it last Thursday afternoon in
Crosbyton and awarded contracts
for the project. Work is expected
begin immediately on the
uilding of the dam, and pipe-
ine construction will start about
the first of the year.
Following a three-day hearing
last Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday over the condemnation
of the Walker land, District
Judge Victor H. Lindsey of 72nd
day night,
Judge Lindsey's findings were
mostly in favor of White River
District, recognizing their right
to condemn the land needed for
the dam and reservoir, and a
strip above the highwater mark
for sanitation control and an ae-
cess road.
Mineral Bights Returned
He ruled against the district
in two major instances, neither
of which will materially affect
the district, the directors believe.
Lindsey's ruling would return
90 acres below the dam, less an
easetrent for drainage, to the
Walkersr~Only, reason the water
district wanted this acreage was
to "control flood waters and keep
them off of land stlfFheld by the~LEsiate land, Bob Work,.4he-board
Walker Estate. Second ruling a-
gainst the district was that the
directors did not have the right
to condemn and take mineral
rights under the land.
Only reason the district want-
ed these rights was to keep oil
weir drilling away from the lake,
in ease a field is ever developed
in the lake . area. Directors be-
lieve, however, they can control
this by sanitation laws, requir-
ing any future drilling to be di-
rect ionVi from outside the dis-
trict property.
Saves District Money
These two items will save the
district considerable money in
the purchase of the Walker
secretary, pointed out. This sav-
less cost of drainage easements
on „the 90 acres below the dam,
$10 per acre royalty purchase on
the entire property condemned,
and perhaps some of the amount
allowed for damages. This figure !
is yet to be worked out, officials
said.
Of primary interest to both the
directors and the residents of the
four citie§ in the district was
Judge Lindsey's ruling enjoining
.the district from ever using land
acquired above the high water
mark for recreation purposes.
The order could be rescinded on-
ly through an agreement or con-
tract with the Walker Estate,
district officials point out.
On the other hand, the district
will have the power to restrict
any passage from the Walker
land to the lake through tres-
pass laws, a situation which
would not allow the Walkers to
capitalize on their proximity to
the like. The stalemate would
indicate that the district board
and the Walker heirs will en-
deavor to reach an agreement
on use of the land.
Contracts Are Awarded
Directors of the water district
met Thursday followiing the
completion of the hearing to a-
ward the contracts. Low bidders
were recipients of
five of the six
contracts in
construction
phases. A pump efficiency clause
causetf Wfectore to- accept a bid
other than low on the pumping
construction phase, according to
Mr. Work.
Contracts were awarded on
six separate phases of the water
district system including the
dam itself, filter plant, pipeline
system, pumping stations, stor-
age tanks and pumping equip-
ment.
The dam and pipeline system
will serve the towns of Crosby-
ton, Ralls, Post and Spur and
will cost approximately $4 mil-
lion over all.
Contracts awarded on the pro-
jects, which will be constructed
17 miles southeast of Crosbyton,
include earthen dam — Steve -

oral vaccine for polio have been
ordered for the Crosbyton area
. campaign slated Sunday, Sept.
16, Dr. Dale R. Rhoades, city
health officer, reported this
week.
"This means we will have vac-
cine for every man, woman and
child in the entire area." Dr.
Rhoades said, "and we want at
least 80 percent of the people
here to take it. . If that many
take the vaccine the community
-will be imipwnized against, any
outbreak of the disease."
Dr. Khoadesr pointed out that
by "everybody" he meant the
youngest baby and the oldest
adult and everyone in between.
"Thi vaccine has proved ab-
solutely harmless," he said, "to
people of all ages. Only per-
sons with fever should refrain
from taking the,vaccine."
Dr. Rhoades pointed out that
-pregnant- women particularly
should take the vaccine, as it
gives protection both to the
mother and the child _
Sponsored by the Lubbock-
Crosby County Medical Society,
the vaccine will be free. How-
ever donations will be accepted
from persons financially able in
order to defray "costs of the= vae-=f=~
cine and other expenses.
Headquarters will be set up
in Pioneer Memorial Building
with the vaccine being given be-
tween 1 and 6 p.m.

PEAR TRERm
BLOOMS AGAIN
To its owner's amazement,
Millard Riley's pear tree is
blossoming. . .
The plant bloomed once
before this year, during what
is considered blossoming
time. Now it is having ano-
ther try at it, although Riley
is sure the tree won't have
time to bear fruit before the
cold weather comes.
The pear tree is actually
a shoot from an older tree
which Riley cut_down some
time ago. The young sap-
pling is only seven feet tall.
"It's just a sprout," says
old horticulturist Riley. He
speculates that it may be so
young it hasn't yet learned
just when the proper time
to blossom may be.
First, it is.permanent where the
Salk vaccine gradually looses its
effectiveness and reouires boost-
er shots. Second, Sabin vaccine
eliminates all carriers which the
original vaccine did not do.
"This is the main reason we
want older people to take it,"'
the doctor pointed out. "They
are not likely to catch polio, but
may unknowingly be a carriei
of the disease." . - ^
Civic club of the city and area
t"will be organized to assist. The
campaign will include Negroes,
Latins, visitors — just anyone.
'To administer the vaccine to
- children under 18 we must have
a permit signed by the parent,"
Dr. Rhoades said. These permits
are tp be circulated through the
schools and elsewhere..
The Sabin vacclne ls~admtnis-
tered in three doses, he said,

taality of Band Should Prove
Even Better Than Former Years
MAN MISTAKEN
FOR GR A NDSON
By PAT BENNETT
"Quality of the high school
band should be even better than
it w.ls last year," according to
Director Jesse Lancet. "Due to a
shortage of cornets in the,, foot-
ball band, we had to move up
several eighth graders in '61.
"We always encourage all the
boys who want to play football
to go ahead. We can do without
them during the season. Last
year, six boys playing cornets
were on the squad. However, it>
was good experience for the
eighth graders." -—
Thi^ year, the high school
band will contain only mu-
sicians classified as ninth grad-
ers or above. The high school
band will have about 85 mem-
bers .and the junior high a few
more, approximately the same
E. A. Poe says somewhere that
irregularity is the essence of
beauty. The tiny flaw, the slight
departure from the accepted
form,— these, he says, are the
secret of aesthetic satisfaction.
In church last Sunday, An-
drea Wooten laid some church
school materials in the seat be-
side her. The daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Donald Wooten will be
in the sccond grade this year.
She had drawn in crayons the
pictures of a snail and a rose.
They were pretty in their gay
colors. But what lifted the child's
art to the realm of beauty was
.the title beneath each drawing;
"snale" and "roze". . v ' • ;£
I am tyot one to pass judge-
ment on the phocnetic spelling
classes now being taught in our
lower grades. After all. snales
and rozes are found ih" the
world of children, before they
are caught up in the grey rat-
race of dictionaries, bank, bal-
ances, and everyday obligations
which stifles their parjfl|||fiffi,;'.
