OH!A I.KTTKR TO THE CITI-
ZENS OF SHACKFhFORD
COUNTY:
Dear Fellow Citizens:
Please let this serve as my ap-
plication to you for the privilege
of -erving in the capacity of Coun-
ty and District Clerk for the next
two years. This is my first time
to ask for a public office but I
have long thought that I would like
to erve. Since a number of you
have suggested now as a time when
I am needed I am making my bid.
Some of you 1 do not know
per onally hut 1 am going to make
every effort to change that. Any-
way we are not strangers because
we have so much in common, such
a- our love of Shackelford county
and our many mutual friendships.
Why shouldn't 1 love Shackelford
when it ha- been my home nearly
all of my life'.' When 1 was seven
year- of age 1 moved to a farm
south of Moran. I have been Iiv-
ing in this county ever -inco with
the exception of a few time, when
I wa- employed away from home.
Thi- make- me a citizen of 24
years and I hope to spend many
more as such.
There is no hesitation on my
part in a-king for the clerk's of-
fice because no one needs it more
than I and I feel confident that I
have the education and experience
needed to qualify me for the job.
I am a graduate of Moran high
school and of North Toxa- State
Teacher- College, My employ-
ment history include five years of
school teaching. The last two wore
pent as elementary -chool princi-
pal at Moran. This job I left to
take over the position a- Junior
Field Worker for the State Do
partment of Public Welfare for
Shackelford county and later for
Shackelford and Throckmorton
counties. I am proud of my admin-
i-tration of the Welfare program
in our county because 1 conscien-
tiously tr od tn be fair to every-
one, never losing sight of the pur
poses of the program and trying
at all time- to get you taxpayer-
full value for your money. Those
who worked with me and who are
acipiainted with how our program ,
wa- administered w-ill verify this. 1
S'vce the do ing of the branch of
the Welfare program which I wa
helping to administer I have been
employed in defense work keeping
record.- of the hundred of thou-
and of parts that go into the man
ufacture of a heavy bomber.
My present job is fast coming
to an end and my family and I
want to come back to live among
our fiiends in the shelter of the
-mall town "here the groceryman
and the banker call you by first
name. We want to again take
par; in your civic enterprise- and
to I eel the pride that comes to one
who ha- helped to put something

Prior to the present time, tie

health of my family will not per-
mit me to be with you as much as
I would like, but in spite of this,
th? gasoline shortage and the
shortage of Cme left, I am going
to try to ,-ee each of you. In the
meantime if yot^ don't know me,
ask -ome one about me.
Sincerely yours.
