Indians Host Pecos
In Football Headliner
With their spirits bolstered by
an eye-opening victory over Mon-
alums, the Seminole lligh Indians
entertain Pecos' Eagles Friday
night, in another District 2-AAA
headliner.
The battle will begin at 8 o'clock
in Wigwam Stadium and will
match two of the four teams tied
for third in the district. Both
Seminole and Pecos have one vic-
tory and one defeat in league play.
Season records for the two
schools are similar too. with Sem-
inole holding a mark of two vie- j
tories. three defeats, and a tie. j
Pecos has two wins and tour loss- j
es. But both teams have shown j
improvement as the season pro- j
gresses and both are rated strong-
er than their records indicate.
Seminole's seventh and eighth
trade grid teams will be in ac.-
and strong Kermit, 21-6.
< Both Pecos and Seminole are
; in 'must" situations for this
[ week's game. Another loss would
i virtually eliminate them from the
'• district title chase, while a vic-
i tory. would put each in a strong
1 position in the standings.
A triumph over Pecos is a nec-
| essity for the Indians as a prelude
i and incentive to hext week's fea-
j ture against powerful Andrews,
j But the Redskins and Harrell
: aren't looking past Pecos, as the
Eagles will fling a handful of
potent backs who have a liking
(for zipping across the goal,

I the blossoming option play liked
j by the Eagles. Saras also is an
effective passer on the short work,
hitting often on throws into the
flats and screen passes to his
halfbacks.
The Eagle running game also
displays John Adams at left , half.

Seminole P-TA Meeting
Seminole's recently organized
Parent-Teacher Association units
will both meet next Tuesday
night, with election of by-laws
and nomination of officers the
chief topics on the agenda.
The junior high and high school
unit will meet first, at 7 o'clock,
in the high school's auditorium
This will be followed at 8:30 by
the elementary P-TA unit, giving
parents opportunity to attend one
or both of the meetings as they
may desire.
Two P-TA officials, Mrs J. M.
Farmer of Littlefield and Mrs.
Marvin Armstrong of Lubbock,
will be back in Seminole for the
meeting to help with the organiza-
tion of the fledgling units. Mrs.
Farmer is president of the P-TA's
14th District, which includes Sem-
inole, and Mrs. Armstrong is state
P-TA vice-president.
They were both in Seminole for
the Initial meeting on Sept. 29
and helped local parents and tea-j
chers lay the groundwork for the j
two organizations. Tuesday's
meeting had originally been sched-
uled for Oct. 13 but was postponed
because of the death of school i
superintendent F. J. Young.- |
In both the meetings next week, j
reports will be heard from the
by-laws and nominating commit-
tees. The proposed by-laws draft-
ed by the committee will be sub-
mitted to those attending for
ratification or alteration, and of-
fices for this term will be elected
from nominations by the com-
mittees or from the floor.
Membership dues, tentatively
pegged at a dollar a year per per-
son in the first meeting last
month, will be set as a part of
the by-laws for each of the units.
No dues have yet been collected,
and a membership committee is
expected to be formed to handle
this function for the P-TAs.

Gaines County Show Barn up un-
til 1:00 p.m., Nov 15
Two highlights are planned for
spectators and dog lovers in the
community. Show officials an-
nounced that over 15 grand cham-
pion dogs of all breeds would be
exhibited by their owners and j
handlers and perform in an ex- |
hibition parade. The grand cham-;
pion dogs will not be in competi-
tion during the show. The second
feature of the afternoon show will I
be the Junior Showmanship Com- ;
pentition for two divisions of!
youngsters. Division A for boys '
6 to .12., years of age inclusive and !
Division B for girls 6 to 12 years j
of age inclusive Another division;
for children 12 to 16 years of age
inclusive will also be staged.
All dogs entered in this show
except the grand champion exhi-
bition dogs, are eligible to be en-
tered, in the Junior Showmanship

try fee is required. Prizes are
aWarded solely for skillful hand-
ling by the youngsters. Merits of
the dog are not considered in this
event.
Children in the area are urged-
to train their dogs and puppies to
handle on a leasli and to stand for

ed rather than the dog.

merce office or through Bill Lewis.

Coolar fall weather hat brought forth twarmt of flies around
$«mlnole, and a largo part of the blame goes to improper
and uncovered garbage cans in the city, says county sanita-
tion officer Bill Cox. The city has begun a drive against the
use of barrels and other open-topped containers for gar-
bage. These are prohibited by city ordinance and will be
picked up and destroyed if found on public alleys, city offi-
cials said. The first three pictures show improper barrels in
use with garbage spilled about the ground. Also m the third
photo is a racked but uncovered can, while the fourth sc*n«
has proper cans in racks off the ground and tops held by
chains. (Sentinel Photos)
