Chamber Directors Lay
Final Plans For Ag Day
f The board of directers of the
1 Seminole Area Chamber of Com-
merce met Wednesday morning at
JO's Restaurant, to discuss final
plahs for Gaines County Agricul-
ture Day, which will be held here

cussed were arrangements for
lunch that day, which will be
catered by the Chamber of Com-
merce, at a cost of $1 per plate.
Chamber president, Gerald Gey-
er, called on the board members
for their assistance at noon that
day, and asked that they help ob-
tain volunteers from the cham-
ber membership to help serve the
tmeal.
Plans were also laid for regis-
tfrSffon"oFout-oMowh pests who
will be attending the day's pro-
gram in the Seminole Communi-
ty Bulldlrig.
John Shepherd, chairman of the
chamber's legislative committee,
presented a report to the board,
in which he outlined the organiza-
tional steps through which the
commltte is now going.
A report on a meeting of the
retailers' committee was present-
ed to the board by Jamell Aryain,
first vice-president of the cham-
ber, who is also heading up the
retailers' committee.
In the committee , meeting,
which wail held Tuesday, the re-
I>
tailors approved July Fourth,
Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day,

Leon Foote, John Shepherd, Ross
Moore, V.ick Farrar, Fred Barbee,

ing a group of the membership to
attend each one of their monthly
meetings. The plan calls for each
member to receive" an invitation
to a meeting at least once during
the year.
championship in District 2-AAA
basketball, and the outcome of this
game can have no effect on the
Indians standing in the district.
The Indians will come into the
game with a record of ten wins
and a single loss in district com-
petition, while the Eagles will be
bringing in a record of four wins
and six losses. A record which
puts them in a tie with .Kermit
for fifth place.
Pecos cannot be discounted by
the Indians, however, since, on
Tuesday night, the Eagles downed
the Fort Stockton Panthers who
gave the Indians their only dis-
trict, loss last Friday night.
Seminole and Pecos last met on
Eagle home ground. On that oc-
casion, the Eagles went down be-
fore the Indians rather easily by
a ten-point mat-gin, 77-67.
The Indians won the game in
the first quarter, by jumping to a
strong lead early, and closing out
the quarter leading by a score of
27-9.
Each succeeding quarter went
to the Eagles, however, as they
outscored the Indians by one point
in the second quarter, two in the
third, and by five points in the
final period. Their rally was not
sufficient to wipe out the 19-point
lead earned by the Indians in the
first period, and the final buzzer
found them still trailing by 10
points, 77-67.

two teams this season was a high
fouling affair, and at several points
during the game, tempers were
running high. In a few instances,
differences between Eagle and In-
dian seemed on the verge of de-
teriorating into fisticuffs.
Spirits should be running high
again tomorrow night as the Eag-
les will be seeking to prove that
they, like the Panthers they de-
feated on Tuesday night, can up-
set the champion Indians and put
a blemish on the Indian record.
The biggest threat the Eagles
have to offer lies in their 6' 1"
center, Larry Lpmukln, who scor-
ed 20 points against the Indians
when they last met. Lumpkin driv-
es hard, and is a good jump shoot-
er.
Steve Holmes, 6' 0" forward,
also did some damage against the
Indians last time, as he hit the
net. for 15 points. Truman Turk,
the other Eagle forward, although
he only scored seven points a-
gainst Seminole, has been very
good in other games, particularly
with a jump shot from the cor-
ners.
Probable starters for the Pecos
Eagles are: Larry Lumpkin, 6' 1",
at center; John Harper, 5' 11".
and Bobby Chenoweth. 6' 0", at
guards, and Steve Holmes, 6' 0",
and Truman Turk, 6' 0" at for-
wards. >.
Frank Bice, senior guard for
the Indians, who missed Tuesday's
game with Monahans because of
a throat infection, returned to
workouts yesterday afternoon, and
should be in shape to play again
tomorrow night. Bice is a regular
starter, and has consistently been
a double-digit scorer for.: the In-
dians this season.
Probable starters for the In-
dians tomorrow night include:

Over 2,500 Now
On School Census
For Coming Year
j Preliminary figures place the
total number of school age chil-
dren on the school census roll in
the Seminole Common Consolidat-
ed School District for next year
at 2,542,. John D, Thompson, dir-
ector of curriculum and special
services said today.
Tills is a gain of 196 over last
j year, and is the largest increase
for a single year since the 1958-
? 1959 school census which showed
j a 200 pupil gain over trie preced-
| ing year.
The figures quoted are still pre-
liminary, Thompson pointed out,
since they must be processed by
the state and any duplications re-
moved.
He also pointed out that not all
of these children will be attend-
ing school in Seminole, since some
children living in the Seminole
school district are attending
schools in towns which are closer
to where they ' live, primarily
Ilobbs, N. M., and Denver City. At
the present tirhe, approximately
100 pupils who live in the Higgin-
botham area are attending school
at Denver City, and 14 children
living just inside the State line are
attending school in Hobbs.
Present enrollment in Seminole
