Now and

(By James Lenamon)
Mrs. Irene WyUe has been
honored with the Lady of the
Year designation by her peers,
the other CliA ladies of town.
She has industriously worked for
the restoration of the old depot
and has been justly rewarded
for her endeavors. She is a
multi-talented woman whose in-
terests range from painting to
the Dallas Cowboys. She didn't
feel deserving of the award but
hoped that her winning this hon-
or might encourage more of the
older citizens of town to take an
active part in community proj-
ects rather than saying I'm too
old to do anything.
Ano'her youngster that has a
-record to be proud of is Britt
Moore who has recently passed
his 50th year as a pharmacist
and was recognized by the Tex-
as State Board of Pharmacy. He
is the pharmacist at Weaver-
Oates and is certainly another
fine asset to our community.
The volleyball season has be-
gun for a group of fatter and
older men than comprised the
team a year ago. The names
have not Changed but the bodies
have made several unwanted al-
terations.
Rehab '72 sponsored by tl«
West Texas Rehabilitation Center
to raise money, was very heart-
warming. Shari Lewis was enter-
taining to all ages as she talked
with the youngsters. My image
of the children changed as I re-
alized that many of them will
be able to live normal lives be-
cause of the center Some child-
ren and adults will always have
handicaps but the help they
receive might enable them to
be more independent of others'
help. A simple task such as
clothing oneself or fpcipg a meal
might be that big dream or goal
of these • handicapped. Looking
at these children helps bring
into focus the often forgotten
"luxuries" that we have such as
sight, hearing, muscle control
and hope.
Rumor has it that Jon Rex
Jones received a call from Hom-
er Stasney Monday morning.
Homer, a graduate of Nebraska,
asked Jon, a graduate of Oklaho-
ma, if he enjoyed the Cowboy
victory in the Super Bowl. Jon,
happy that the subject wasn't
college football quickly jumped
in with his resume of the fine
play of the Cowboys and both
agreed that they were superb.
However, I think the conver-
sation ended quickly after Hom-
er asked if Jon thought the Cow-
boys could beat Nebraska;
