Exercise your privilege
It will be your privilege Saturday to help
choose two men for the important job of run-
ning a $3^6,000 a year business in which you
have an interest.
The jobs to be filled are on the Pewitt
school board.
Both vacancies this year are •from the Na-
ples area but the entire distric Isas a say in
who will sit on the seven-member board.
The two who are elected will replace Dr.
C. J. Wise, now chairman of the board, and
M. B. Hampton. Both have served for several
years.
There are no sectional differences and no
axes to grind among the three announced can-
didates this year. The choice is simply one of
picking the two whom you consider best quali-
fied to fill the jobs.
Lewis Rogers, Bud L. Williams and Her-
man Walters have offered to serve in the non-
paying jobs.
None of the three have anything to gain
by being elected but the two who are elected
can look forward to a three-year term of duty
that is time-consuming and too often thank-
less and prone to draw criticism.
The board of trustees spends many hours
looking after your interests in a $396,000 a
year business.
Spend a few minutes of your own time
Saturday to help select those who will look
after your interests. Go to the polls and vote
for the two candidates whom you consider best
qualified to sit on the board.

(Editor's note: The Sage of
Sulphur Bottom takes a stand
on the front porch argument.)
Dear editar:
There are times when I can't
understand people.
For example, about a week
or so ago, all the newspapers
carried an article about a Con-
gressman who was using his
front porch for a home office
run by his wife and was col-
lecting rent on it from the gov-
ernment, since, as I under-
stand it, the government al-
lows Congressmen $1200 a
year for home office rent if
there's not room in the post
office or some other federu*
building in his home town.
And what I can't understand
about people is that most of
them were outraged by this
set-up. They thought it was
wrong to get paid for using
your front porch for an office.
I'm outraged by this too. but
not for the same reason. Wnat
outrages and baffles me is why
anybody, if the government
would pay him to sit on his
front porch, would turn the
job over to his wife, and him-
self sit in an office in Wash-
ington.
I can't understand such a
sense of values. You take me,
whenever the weather allows,
I sit on my front porch, even
if the government doesn't pay
me a cent to do it. There are
some things a man ought to
be willing to do on his own,
whether he gets paid for it or
not. Although understand I
wouldn't object to getting paid
for it. In fact, I think it would
be a more positive approach,
if the government paid me to
sit on my porch, instead of
paying me not to sit on my
tractor, although I'd be willing

to tackle both jobs at the same
time if the pay was doubled.
I can't say I accomplish any-
thing by sitting on my front
porch, v"hich isn't the purpose
in sitting there in the first
place, and besides it's not al-
ways a proven fact that some
Congressmen accomplish more
by sitting elsewhere.
It might be thought by some
pv iple that I'm starting a cru-
saae for more people to sit on
their front porches, but I'm
not made that way. I find it
impossible to care whether my
neighbor is sitting on his front
porch or sitting on a tractor
or riding to town in his car.
All I know is that for me,
sitting on the front porch suits
me fine. It's easier, it's cheap-
er, it's safer, and you can do
it in the shade.
Also, you don't have to get
elected to it. Very few taxes
have ever been raised by a
man sitting on his front porch.
Yours faithfully,

yP' Association has banquet
Naples drew praise for its
support of a "Checker Train-
ing Class" held for grocers
here earlier this year.
Clyde Bennett, training spe-
cialist for the University of
Texas, conducted the training
school and wrote a special re-
port on it for The Texas Food
Merchant, a trade magazine.
The class was held at the re-
quest of Lee Davis, owner of
the Tom Thumb Food Store.
Naples was the smallest town
in which the course had been
taught.
"I was doubtful about it but
relayed the request to the
proper authorities and Mr. Da-
vis' enthusiasm about it con-
vinced the area supervisor
that we should schedule the
course", Bennett wrote.
"The attendance was excel-
lent and a wonderful attitude
was manifest", he said.
"We enrolled 40 people in
the class in Naples — a town
of less than 1500 population,"
he continued. "I am sure other
courses will do well th

'he Creecys clear more
than $4.Q0 per hen
\
The Wayne Creecys, Ardmore, Oklahoma, have expanded
from 220 cages in 1955 to their present total of 2,100 cage
hens. Their operation was expanded because of a growing
demand for Purina Cage Eggs and, as Mrs. Creecy so
aptly stated, "We wanted the extra income!"
The first 8 months of 1958, their birds returned a labor
profit of $3.08 i>er bird . . . projected for the year, this
would be more than $4.00 labor profit per bird.
"We've been relying on Purina since we started," com-
mented Mr. Creecy, "and wouldn't think of feeding any-
thing else. We appreciate and depend on
the services of our Purina Dealer."
