"Where the 'BEST' Begins" was
the slogan picked by councilmen
Monday evening for the Ctty of
Claude. Out of 89 slogans submit-
ted this one wound up with two
others in the continual voting
that cut the number down each
time until three were left.
This slogan was submitted by
Naomi Ruth Field 003 Alston, ave.,
Forth Worth 4, Texas. Miss Field
is a friend of Carl Wood, who
occasionally sends her The
Claude News. She read the story
concerning the slogan contest and
submitted several for considera-
tion. Another slogan, "Where the
Livin' Is Plea-zy", submitted by
her, came in third place.
The second place slogan was
"The Heart of the Panhandle"
was submitted by Cecil Waggoner.
Councilmen reported the selec-
tion was hard as many good ones
were submitted. One of the most
interesting was submitted by Sid
McCubbins of Oklahoma City. It
was "Oate City to the Plains"
and ran hir,h on the list until
eliminated in the last go-around.
Sid sl xted this slogan was used
by the late Dr. W. A. Warner. In
fact nr. Werner named his drug
store "The Gate City Drug."
The Claude News also selected
one of the slogans that ran high
in the race, as a slogan for the
paper. It is "Western Living with
an Urban Flavor." It was sub-
mitted by Lynda Sue Waggoner.

"The Winner"
name of film
The Claude News is indebted to
Mrs. Eva Jeanne Powers for a
clipping from the Los Angeles
Times, Sunday, Aug. 5. In the
column "Hollywood Calendar"
John L. Scott reports the new
name for the "Hud Bannon" film
will be "The Winner."
In his column Scott writes:
At this moment Paul Newman
is probably lounging in a hamock
in the back yard of his Green-
wich, Conn., home, and thinking
his lucky stars th;it he's still in
one piece. "The Winner" for
Paramount, almost turned him
into an old man. "It's a nutty
title." he writes. "I end up a
loser, so you figure that one out."
He goes on to reveal that in the
picture, "I try to attack Patricia
Neal, also seven other dames hi
a small western town. I get
trampled by cattle in a pen. have
a barroom battle with a Holly-
wood edition of Primo Camera,
and get slopped up by a dozen or
more greased pies in a picnic se-
quence." In addition, there were
two small tornadoes while New-
man was working outside Ain-
arillo. Texas. "I'm sure I've most
of Texas in my lungs," he says.
"And now back to suburban liv-
ing. The only danger here is tak-
ing the train into Manhattan-
it makes a John Wayne cattle
drive scene look tame by com-
parison."
