Editor sees
modern miracle
Anne Teel, editor of The Lefors
Progress, gives us this interesting
story:
Ihe <
Scoot and I attended the Lions
Club Ladies Night Tuesday, Nov.
24, as guests of Mr. and Mrs.
Hubert Lam. We enjoyed the tra-
ditional turkey dinner with all the
trimmings; we especially enjoyed VOL. 75.
the fellowship with some 64 friends
and neighbors.
But ... we saw a miracle.
The guest speaker for the even-
ing was Mrs. Dick (Joyce) Ray-
mond of Claude.
If cn)y I had been blessed with
Ihe ta'ent to write for you read-
ers the story Mrs. Raymond told,
or describe to you the joy that is
hers. You see, Mrs, Raymond has
been blind for 1G years and now
she can see.
She said, "At this Thanksgiving
time when we especially think of
our blessings I have so much to
be thankful for."
After hearing Mrs. Raymond
give her testimony, most of us who
were listening were conscious of
little everyday blessinss that we
forgot to thank the Lord for.
Mrs. Raymond said, "I was 19
years old. I had one child and
was expecting another, when I
found out that I had an unusual
eye condtion for which there was
no cure."
Everything was tried, but event-
ually Mrs. Raymond completely
lost her sight.
She said, "I so longed to do
the little things that are a woman's
joy to do—shop for my groceries,
i;o pay the bills, clean my house—
things that are sometimes taken
tor granted."
Pour years ago, Mrs. Raymond
had her first eye transplant. The
eye donor was someone in St.
Louis. By this time Mrs. Ray-
mond had four children and 16
years had lapsed with her in dark-
ness.
As she told of her children and
her time spent in darkness, my
own thoughts were . . . just think,
to have four children you couldn't
see ... a calamity.

Income tax
school Mon.
For the past several years the
County Agent, Bo Wheeler, has
conducted two Income Tax
educational meetings in the county
each year. These have been held
for the purpose of informing far-
mers of the latest changes that
affect them. The emphasis of the
instruction is management, from
the standpoint of Income Tax.
This year only one meeting will
be held. In order to be as cen-
trally located as possible, this

Center in Claude. This meeting
will take place Monday, Decem-
ber 14, beginning at 1:30. Jim
Murphrey, Extension Farm Man-
agement Specialist, will provide
the instruction. Jim has done this
for several years in the county,
and many farmers and farm wives
attend each year, repeatedly. In-
come Tax is something we need
to stay abreast of, rather than
something you can learn once,
and then know all about from now
on.
This will be an open meeting,
for anyone caring to attend. The
emphasis will be on tax manage-
ment from the standpoint of
farming. Refreshments will be
served, courtesy of the First Na-

Cotton allots
notices in mail
Notices of individual farm acre-
age allotments for the 1965 up-
land cotton crop have been mailsd
to farmers in Armstrong County,
according to Herbert Hunt, Chair-
man, Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation County Commit-
tee. He pointed out that any ques-
tion about the allotments should
be taken lip immediately with the
ASCS County Committee.
The Chairman declared that the
intension is to let farmers know
how the allotment program will
affect their farms prior to the
Dec. 15 referendum on marketing
quotas for the 1965 upland cot-
ton crop. The law requires a fav-
orable vote by at least two-thirds
of the growers voting in order to
keep marketing quotas in effect.
Growers eligible to vote are all
those farmers who engaged in the
production of upland cotton in
1964.
Armstrong County received an
allotment of 1931.0 acres for dis-
tribution to growers in producing
their 1965 upland cotton crop.
This represented the County's
share of the national allotment
acreage of 16,200,000 acres, in-
cluding a national reserve of 200,-
000 acres to take care of mini-
mum farm allotments.
Polls will be open from 8:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The polling places are located
as follows: TSCS Office, Butler
Building, Claude Texas and Way-
side School house, Wayside,
Texas.
Cafe opens for
business here
Melvin and Irene Dart have
opened the Dart's Cafe, located
between Welch Truck Stop and
Farmers Supplies & Consumers
in Claude. They are inviting every-
one to drop by and try their home
cooked meals and get acquainted
with them. See their ad in this
weeks Claude News.
The Darts worked on the A. J.
Garland place for some time and
until Melvin hurt his back and
had to give up heavy work, hence
the cafe venture.
The Darts have two grown
daughters, both married, and live
in Arkansas where the Darts for-
merly lived. They are members of
the Goodnight BhptLst Church
and he is a 25 year member of
the Masonic Lodge.
The Darts like Claude and the
people here and say they wish to
get acquainted with everyone. You
are invited to drop by and visit
with them.

west Texas Hospital Monday af-

Cow pregnancy
testing school
Plans have been made for hold-
ing a cattle pregnancy school here
in the county. This will take
place Wednesday, December 16,
beginning at 1:30. This will be held
at Herb Hunt's farm, two miles
west of Claude on FM 1151. All
cattlemen and other interested
persons in the county are invited.
Pregnancy testing, like perform-
ance testing and fertility testing,
is an additional means of deter-
mining breeding efficiency of
breeding cattle. Recently quite a
bit of interest has been shown in
this relatively new technique. Al-
though research has been conduct-
ed for quite a while, this practice
has only recently become widely
used. Dr. Bernie Benson, our local
veterinarian reports that he has
done quite a bit of work, along
with fertility testing of bulls, for
cattlemen in the county.
Many of you may remember Dr.
Hubbard, our Area Extension Beef
Cattle Specialist. He has visited
in the county several times, and
was one of the speakers at the
last Farmer-Rancher Day Pro-
gram, held in February. These
type training sessions have been
conducted in a few other coun-
ties. Cattlemen attending them
found them very worthwhile.
This session December 16 should
be of interest to all cattlemen in
the county. Refreshments will be
provided, courtesy of the First
National Bank of Claude.
Missionary Naomi
Hare at Fairview
There will be a guest speaker
at Fairview this Sunday. She is a
woman missionary from Old Mex-
ico. Her name is Naomi Hare. She
will be able to help us in our
thinking for the Latin Americans.
