December was anniversary
time for Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Carlile of Simms.
He and the former Martha
Lee Burkhalter observed their
40th wedding anniversary on
Dec. 30.
The couple are parents of
Mary Martin, Weldon Ray Car-
lile and Johnny Carlile of Dal-
las, and Buddy and Hugh Car-
lile of Naples. They have 12
grandchildren.
When their oldest grandson,
Kenny Lee Martin, was born,
he had five living generations
on each side of the family and
six living grandmothers.
The wedding anniversary
wasn't Carlile's only one in De-
cember.
When he went to Sunday
School on Christmas day, it
marked the completion of ten
straight years without a miss.
You'd think that most men
would be in favor of those new
thigh-high mini-skirts, but they
aren't.
A survey has shown that
men like for their women to
wear their skirts longer — by
about a year or two.
Don't try to tell the Rocky
Branch Community Improve-
ment Association there's no
Santa Claus.
They know better.
Mr. and Mrs. Lee Ansley and
their 4-H Club put up a tree
on the community center
grounds a week before Christ-
mas just to spread cheer.
George Gilliam noticed a
strange decoration on the tree
one day after Christmas. He
investigated and found Santa
had paid a visit.
The object was a gift certi-
ficate from The National Bank
of Daingerfield left there by
its president, B. H. Webb.
Mrs. Ansley and three of the
community children. Ann and
Jan Stevens and Dickey Mor-
ris, took the certificate to the
bank
Webb cashed the certificate
for $100 to go into the com-
munity center building fund.
Volkswagen, Miss Annette Ad-
ams, escaped serious injury.
Both are students at Pewitt
high school.
The two were going to the
Adams home on Highway 67
north when a car driven by
Charlie C. Young, Naples Ne-
gro, veered across the center
line and rammed the right
front fender of Miss Scaff's
car.
Miss Scaff suffered a brok-
en foot and was admitted
to the David Granberry Memo-
rial Hospital for treatment.

Cafeteria meals at Pewitt
and Carver schools will cost a
nickel a day more when the
second semester begins later
this month.
Meal tickets for elementary
students will go up from $1.25
a week to $1.50, and tickets
for high school students from
SI.50 to $1.75.
The school board approved
the increase Tuesday night.
A dwindling balance in the
cafeteria fund and new mini-
mum wages required by the
federal government effective
Feb. 1 were cited as reasons
for the price increase.
The Hewitt cafeteria began
the school term with a cash
balance of $4 218.32 but spent
more than it took in during
the first three months of the
current term and the balance
on Nov. 30, 1966 was $3,tf27.33.
Carver began with only
$267.88 on hand and the bal-
ance at the end of November
was down to $144.74.
Labor costs will go up ?t
Pewitt school about $45 a week
beginning Feb. 1 when the em-
ployees come under the fed-
eral minimum wage law for
the first time, and the increase
at Carver will be about $27 a
week.
The nickel-a-day price hike
will bring in an additional
$45.75 a week at Carver school
and $131.25 a week at Pewitt
school if there is no loss in
business.
Pewitt now sells an average
of 525 meals a day and Carvc-r
183
Mrs J. R. Wright, Pewitt
cafeteria supervisor, figured
her cost per meal during No-
vember at 36 cents, and at
31'2 in December.
At Pewitt school, the mini-
mum wage law will bring pay
raises to the head cook from
$5.50 for a 6-hour day to $6.50,
lor three regular cooks from
$5 to $6 for the same time,
for two cook helpers from
$4.40 to $6 for the same time,
for two part time cooks work-
ing 3^-hour days from $2.50
to $3.50, and a cashier work-
ing two hours a day still will
receive $2.
Mrs. Wright is on a monthly
pay scale of $220 per month
for 12 months, and she won't
be affected by the $l-an-hour
minimum.
Carver has two cooks who
will be raised from $6 to $6.50
per day and two others now
getting S4.30 who will be rais-
ed to $6.50. All work 6'/a hours
each day.
NAPLES
MONITOR
81 years old ... and new every week
VOLUME 81
NAPLES, TEXAS THURSDAY, JAN. 5, 1967
NUMBER 24
New fire station is paid for
PFC MarreSl
goes to Vietnam
PFC Norman Harrell, hus-
band of the former Miss Paula
Wommack of Naples, left Dec.
29 for a tour of duty in Viet-
nam.
He recently completed train-
ing at Ft. Polk. La., and was
home on leave for 15 days be-
fore his departure.
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
John Harrell of Daingerfield.
Naples has a new fire station
now and it's unique in one
way.
There won't be any long,
drawn out installment paying
for it as there usually is in
all government matters.
The city council accepted
the recently completed build-
ing Wednesday from Hamp-
ton Construction Co. The fire
fighting equipment had been
moved into the building be-
fore Christmas.
The $6,964 for the station
will be paid in a lump sum
with no city borrowing.
The city council will take
$2,000 from a savings account
built up from interest on a
$50,000 water and sewer bond
issued in 1964. $2,000 from an
account built up to buy right
of way for state highways, and
the balance from the general
tax fund.
The right of way fund prob-
ably won't be needed because
a bill now before the state
legislature would relieve small
towns of the obligation of
helping buy right of way. That
account has been built up slow-
ly since it appeared a few
years ago that Naples would
have to bear part of the cost
of the new roads to be built.
The money from the general
tax fund comes from a surplus
built up in a sinking fund for
the 1952 street bond which is
almost paid off with only $326
still owed. So the one-third of
the tax revenue that formerly
went into that fund will be
applied to the cost of the fire
station.
Mayor Rex Allen said none
of the operating funds or mon-
ey needed for other purposes
Hamilton voted
contract extension
as superintendent
H. R. Hamilton, superinten-
dent of Pewitt schools since
1962, was granted a one-year
extension to his contract by
the school board Tuesday
night.
His contract now extends
through June 30. 1969.
The board late iasi year vot-
ed to pay him a supplement of
$1,000 a year above the state
minimum. It was the first tinu
he was paid a supplement dur-
ing his tenure as superinten-
dent.
would be used and no book-
jugglr g was necessary to pay
cash for the fire station.
The only work remaining to
be done on the station is paint-
ing the woodwork and minor
jobs to be done by city em-
ployees.
The council Wednesday also
voted to put a new gas chlo-
rinating system on the water
wells, and to annex a lot on
Highway 338 owned by Carson
Lancaster at his request.

WATER SKIING. ANYONE?
You want to belong to an
exclusive club?
One with no membership
dues.
No social obligations.
And meets only one time
a year.
A water skiing group then
will welcome you.
Billy Dale of Naples is the
senior member of the club.
The junior member is Tommy
G. Heard of Dallas.
There's nobody in between
them. They're the whole club.
The reason the club has
such an exclusive listing is
the fact that the meetings are
held each Christmas day.
Cool or cold, they've been
meeting and water skiing each
year now for the past eight.
The meeting was held at
Lone Star Lake up until this
year but it was changed then
to Glass Club Lake.
The club wasn't always so
exclusive.
When it began, there was
Dale, Darrell Hendrix, Sher-
ril! Traylor, Cliff Russell and
a couple of others
Then for two years in 1964-
65, Troy Moore, 13, and Mar-
lon Moore, 8, joined up.
Russell stayed with it for
four years and the group
changed and dwindled until
Dale is the only charter mem-
ber left.
''Most were out of town on
Christmas." Dale said of the
droo-outs.
He didn't mention weather
as a factor.
Heard joined him for the
annual outing three years ago
and the two of them stick dog-
gedly to the sport, come ice
or snow.
There was snow around the
lake five or six years ago but
the group broke the ice and
water skiied anyway. They had
ice on their eyelashes when
they left the lake.
Dale and Heard were towed
around Glass Club Lake Sun-
day by Mrs. Dale, who declin-
ed to take her turn skiing.
