California Couple
Tourists of Month
Mr. and Mrs. David McMillian of
Fairfield, California, couldn’t believe
it when they were told they were
Croabyton’a Tourists of the Month
Wednesday.
Mrs. McMillan said, "I thought it
was a joke. People just don’t do that
often.”
They found, however, that they do
In Crosbyton.
David and Sandy McMillan spent
Tuesday night in the Silver Falls Mo-
tel while enroute to Shrevesport, La.,
and on to visit her parents at Ames,
Okla., near Enid.
They were contacted by phone by
Woodrow Robertson, informed of
their selection and told to meet him
at the 82 Cafe for breakfast. They
were guests of the local Lious Club
for lunch and were presented a free
wash and grease job for their car by
Stegall’s Shamrock station, gift certi-
ficates from Nickson’s and Wallace’s
and offered a plane ride by Jack
Hash.
McMillan attended Fairfield, Calif.
High School and is employed by vhe
Sheriff's Depatrment in Solano Coun-
ty, California. He is currently attend-
ing night college for a Police Science
Degree.
The McMillans were complimenta-
ry of Crosbyton’s friendliness and the
local paper and were beginning to
believe it was all really true about
mid-morning Wednesday.
After visiting in Oklahoma they
tentatively plan a trip to St. Louis,
Mo., before ending their vacation and
returning home.

My father has become a member of
the Hole-In-One Club Playing golf
at Littlefield he hit the ball, then
hunted for it on the other side of the
green only to finally, discover he
actually had hit a hole-in-one. A day
or two later he went to a meeting in
Canyon where he was introduced to
an Amarillo man who aaid, “Sid Hop-
ping . . . aren’t you the man who hit
a hole in one?”
My father said, “Well, yes, but I
didn’t know I yelled loud enough to
be heard this far.”
He learned later the Amarillo man
had been prompted to say that by a
mutual golfing buddy, Jack Christian

Hallowe’en was more fun for
adults than anyone this year.
First of all, the adults who staged
the spook house at the Carnival not
only had a whale of a time themsel-
ves but their antics will be remember-
ed for Halloweens to come. That was
the best spook house we’ve had
around here in years!
Don’t know if I have a complete
list but credit for the spook house
goes to BETTY EDINBURGH, Mr.
and Mrs. Ramon Johnston, Kenneth
Stegall and Pat Berry who alternated
as the corpse, Owen Keith and Wan-
da Crump, who bore a resemblance
to Mrs Munster, Don and Shirley Bo-
land (Shirley was the witch stirring
her brew), Mr. and Mrs. W. D Holley
(he rattled chains), Wanda Karr,
Mary Beth Berry, Johnnie and Sue
Wilson, Katie Davis, Janie Hestand,
Joan Stegall, Glenda Ferree, Mrs.
Paul Gilbreath, Mrs. Gary Mitchell
and Mrs. J. D. Sheer, I’m sure there
were a number of others who helped
create the "spooks” and set up the
spook house. Fm also pretty concern-
ed because I counted eight parents
acting as guides or spooks when I
went in the horror house to take a
picture . . . but I'm positive that,
when the lights were out, I counted
NINE spooks. Even after seeing it
with the lights on, I still came out
Having fun Hallowe’en night were
the JUNIOR STEENS, where trick
or treaters visited with • fhost Fay*
Steen had told the smaller children
she keeps not to be afraid because
the ghost was really Junior Ronald
Johnson told her Monday night, I
was still a widdle bit scared.
