Little League Field Now
*W. F. Wheeler Park'
With a throng of friends and
well-wishers nodding their
approval, Bill Wheeler watched
proudly Monday night as the
Crosbyton Little League field
became W.F. Wheeler Park. The
brief ceremony followed the Cros-
v byton All-Stars' victory over Cooper
—in<he, first round of JN Area JII
tournament.
Charles Hardin spoke words of
appreciation to Wheeler and his
wife, Oleta (Toogy), for their dedi-
cation to and work with youth of this
community. Hardin is president of
Crosbyton Little League.
A large, metal sign bearing the
wording "W.F. Wheeler Park" was
unveiled by Leeky Griffin, Gary
Mitchell, and George Witt. Located
just behind the centerfield fence,
the sign faces the road and,

ironically, is almost directly across
the road from the Wheeler
residence.
The sign was constructed by
Long's Industries.
DEDICATORY MESSAGE
The message, read over the
public.address system by Hardin^
stated:
''Down through the years, about
the best friends of Crosbyton young
people have been W.F. and Oleta
Wheeler . . . better known as Bill
and Toogy.
"In school athletics, livestock
shows, Little Dribblers and dozens
of other activities for Crosbyton's
youth .... these two have given so
unselfishly of themselves. The
is simple: they love kids!
"Not one of us could even guess
how many dozens, and hundreds,
and even thousands of hours this
couple has spent on activities
involving our young people.

appreciation-, residents ot theCros-

GAS COOKING
OUTDOORS
Gas cooking outdoors sure makes sense in the summertime It keeps the heat out, so your
house stays cool. You save on air conditioning. Plus there's no charcoal or lighter fluid to buy,
and no wait. Gas reaches cooking temperature fast and cooks full family dinners, everything
your inside range and oven can cook, with that great outdoor flavor.
Take the heat out of the kitchen. Install a gas grill on the patio It sure makes sense in the sum-
mertime, or anytimel

TRACTOR PULL . . GOOD
SHOW BUT HURTING
FINANCIALLY
Crosbyton community residents
hid an opportunity to view In their
home town Saturday and Sunday
what few communities have: a Class
A tractor pull. The show was "by
far the best we've ever had", yet it
was a financial flop.
Lloyd Martin said competition
here was as good as pullers find In
any show, anywhere. And Lloyd has
participated in more than a few.
One member of the Crosbyton
Jaycees, which sponsors the tractor
pull, blamed the financial loss on
lace of attendance (Saturday night
was "fair" and Sunday's turnout
was "poor"). Another JC said the
Class A event necessitated more
prize money to winners. Both
admitted that the scorching weather
— the temperature was on the other
side of 100 when Sunday compe-
tition started — was a factor.
From what several Jaycees have
told us, the tractor pull's future
seems clouded. One member
doubts whether another will be
held. A second man predicts a pull
n^xt year with competition falling
back to Class B status. The decision
is still out.
GRASSHOPPERS GALORE
Grasshoppers, once dread insects
on the Plains, are returning
en masse. Drastic efforts are being
made in Texas and neighboring
states to control them
Frank Ellison brought to our
office Monday a July 16 Issue of the
Stephenville Empire-Tribune which
bore a large front page photo of
dozens of grasshoppers lining the
limbs of a small peach tree, east of
Stephenville. Outlines under the
picture noted that "The tree has
been completely destroyed by
grasshoppers. They finished with
the leaves and fruit, and have now
started to strip the bark off the tree
This has been one of the worst years
for grasshoppers In many years "

'' .. v
—
Much of the tlma we take
for granted the wonder of
a seed. Once there was a
young lad who counted
the number of kernels
produced by a corn stalk.
He counted 682 kernels —
that Is, one original grain
of corn had multiplied
itself 682 times in one
season.This would mean
that if these 682 seeds
were planted again 'n the
following year and would
increase at about the
same rate, the off-sprung
of that first original seed,
in its second generation
would number 900,000,-
000 new seeds, all capable
of continuing the same
process adfinitum.
In Galatians 6:7, Paul
warns men that, "Do not
be deceived, God Is not
mocked; for whatever a
man sows, this he will
also reap." Relative to
this — Cosmo I Dokos
wrote the following poem:
The soil will nurture and will grow whatever kind
of seed we sow.
If weeds are planted, rest assured that weeds
we'll have when they're matured.
We cannot expect from weeds to rise a flowered
vine of paradise.
The soil oi life will likewise grow whatever kind of
of seed we sow.
Regardless of the plant we breed, the product
rtsesfrom the seed.
So, onward as through life we go, we must watch
the seed w* sow.

Is The World Running Out of Gas?
Wo are using natural gas faster than nevy reserves
are Wiing discovered and the electric industry
is facing curtailments. The switch to alternate
generating fuels will take time and money
But the member owned rural electric cooperative
is working with industry and government
leaders nationally to make the transition as
painless as possible. Dependable power
at a value price, a 40-year tradition, is their
promise for the future.
