Locc, name
one of state's
top 4-H members
Willie James Palmore of Na-
ples has been named one of the
12 most outstanding 4-H club
members in Texas.
As one of the top 12, he will
receive one of the state's most
coveted 4-H awards — Santa
Fe Educational Awards provid-
ed by the Santa Fe railroad.
The awards are offered to
4-H members in connection
with the 1958 National 4-H
Club Congress.
The winners will be mem-
bers of the Texas delegation
to the national convention in
Chicago from Nov. 30 through
Dec. 4.
Palmore, the son of Mr. and
Mrs. W. 0. Palmore of Naples,
is a student at East Texas Stale
College at Commerce.
Judging to determine the
winners was first done on the
county basis, then the district,
and finally statewide.
The final selections were on
the basis of the member's lead-
ership and achievement in 4-H;
length of membership; partici-
pation in community, county,
district and state activities;
production records and the
over-all record submitted by
the participant.
Certificates of recognition
have been presented to the 12
winners.
The award is another in a
long list of honors won by Pal-
more in 4-H and FFA activi-
ties.
Now 21 years old, he has
been a 4-H member since he
was nine and has been presi-
North part of county closed to hunters
WILLIE JAMES PAf MORE
dent of the Naples-Omaha
chapter since 1952.
We received the American
Farmer Degree in FFA work in
1956 at the national conven-
tion at Kansas City, the only
boy from this district ever to
win that degree. He also has
received the State Farmer De-
gree.
In 1956, he was selected as
the Morris county Gold Star
4-H member and was honored
at a banquet at Daingerfield.
He showed his livestock at
the Houston Fat Stock Show
and has been accepted as a
junior member of the Ameri-
can Hereford Association.
The entire north part of
Morris county has been closed
to hunting of all kinds this
year.
The area includes almost all
of the land north of Naples
and Omaha.
The only exception is a small
area in the Northeast corner
of the county.
All of the landowners of the
area — 75 of them — banded
together in the North Morris
County Game Preserve under
the supervision of the State
Game and Fish Commission to
ban hunting in the area this
year.
The restriction will be en-
forced by game wardens and
the individual landowners, who
have agreed to prosecute all
violators.
The organization of the pre-
serve was completed Oct. 1
and the. "no hunting" ban be-
came effective immediately.
Part of the area, the north-
west corner, was stocked with
deer about three years ago and
landowners expected the usual
five-year closed season on
hunting in that area to con-
tinue. However, the Game and
Fish Commission declared an
open season for deer hunting
in the county this year.
Some of the landowners who
helped with the organization
to outlaw hunting have stocked
their land with quail and other
game within the past year or
two.
The area became the second
in the county to be declared
closed to hunting within the
past two weeks.
The Lone Star Wildlife area
South of Highway 11 in the
southern part of the county
also has been stocked with deer
and will not be open for hunt-
ing.
This was the first year an
open season has been declared
in Morris county in many
years.

"No town can hops prosperi-

Unless the press shall vig-
ourously aid."
That high sounding phrase
is credited to Eugene Fitch
Ware, whoever he was, but it
seems appropriate enough to
point out that this is National
Newspaper Week.
You'll pardon us, please, if
we pause to consider our own
trade — that of publishing a
weekly newspaper.
We have only the 26 sharp-
edged tools we call the alpha-
bet with which to do our job
but may we accomplish with
them whatever may be accom-
plished with any tools: the job
of building or destroying.
Let us build what we need.
Let us destroy what dark-
ness, what bigotry, what evil,
what curse, what ignorance
there is to plague us — to keep
us small. .
Deafen us to the Lorelei
sohg of rootless hearsay, rum-
or and idle gossip,

Ours is not a thankless job
nor an unrewarding one.
Our accomplishments are of-
times slow and small but, best
of all, they are often perman-

We herald your coming and

Our work is not perfect.
There have been many more
able reporters — Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John, plus a
host of more recent ones. •
Their work has made it a
better eternity.
We ask that ours will make
only a better tomorrow.

Morris County United Fund
adopts budget of $13,272
A budget of $13,272 for the
1959 Morris County United
Fund drive was approved by
the board of directors in a
meeting Monday night.
The total budget includes
complete operating funds for
local work of 10 organizations,
plus a reserve for contingen-
cies and campaign expenses.
The 1959 drive will open on
Oct. 16 with a kickoff break-

The budget adopted for this
year is up slightly over the
amount raised in the 1958
drive due to expanded pro-
grams for many of the agen-
cies participating in the new
United Fund, organized for the
first time in Morris county last
year.

well-managed operations will
be visited Friday by those who
go on the poultry tour.
The two longest houses are
owned by Morris Unsell of
Daingerfield and the other two

ested in poultry are invited to
join the group here at 2:45

Unsell's poultry operation,
first stop on the tour, has two
houses about 1,000 feet long
in addition to his other houses.
There the group will see com-
mercial layers, starter pullets
for hatching egg production,
commercial egg production,
and automatic feeders.
Connor's farm, second stop
on the tour, has one of the
largest cage laying flocks in
this part of Texas. He also will
show his recently completed
special work room for grading,
sandling, washing and storing
his eggs.
Thigpen has more than 3,000
commercial laying hens and
has completed one new poultry
house this year. He has one of
the best managed poultry op-
erations in the county.
The new Kazmeier-Sherrill
Hatchery, to produce Hy-Line
commercial layers at the rate
of about 64,000 every three
weeks, will be opened to the
public for the first time and
its operation will be explained
by Bob Griffin, area repre-
sentative for the company.
Griffin was poultry special-

1958-59 National Merit Schol-
arship competition.
H. R. Hamilton, high school

scores on the tests.
About next May 1, at least
735 of the students will be
named Merit Scholars of 1959.
Each scholarship is a four-
year award covering the four
undergraduate college years
and each award carries a cash
award tailored to the need of
the individual winner.
The awards have been av-
