j tary Club as a part of its youth

Loeb and Miss Lelrace Davis, dau-
ghter of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Da-
vis ry '"ester and formerly of
I Nolan, to the Crls' State under a
I program sponsored by the Legion
j Auxiliary.
Mrs. Forgay introduced Miss
I Loeb who told of her experiences
' in "the mythical 49th state cre-
! ated lo teach the youth of the na-
tion about their state."
There were 10 main state offi-
| cers elected and all girls played
an active role in some phase of
| government operation during the
| 10 days of learning about their
j government.

J ed attention to an attendance con-

Mrs. Jim Pearson
Snags Sail Fish
Mrs. Jim Pearson of Sweet-
water landed a 161-pound Black
Marlin game fish on a fishing trip
during her vacation last week in
the "blue deep water" off the west
coast of Old Mexico..
The fish has been entered in the
July, August and September fish-
ing tournament and is said to have
an excellent chance of winning
some honors because the season
is getting late for Marlin to strike
and sail fish do not normally get
nearly so large as the 161-pounder.
Mr and Mrs. Pearson and Mr.
and Mrs. Preston Lightfoot made
a 15-day vacation trip into Old
Mexico, to the west coast and then
to Mexico City.
Lightfoot landed an 85 pound
sail fish that was nine feet long.
Mrs. Lightfoot and Pearson caught
a 20 pound bull fish each as their
best vacation trophy.
