CONGRESSMAN GEORGE MAHON is
shown here presenting to Mrs. Evelyn Lowrie
a flag which was flown over the Capitol of the
United States on July 4, 1960, the day the 50
star flag became the official flag oi the coun-
try. *
Don Johnson, executive secre-
tary of Plains Cotton Growers,
reported in a telephone call to
the Review Wednesday, “As fat
as the effectiveness of the dia-
pause control program, it looks
very good at the present time.
We think the results will be on
par with what was planned at
the beginning of the operation.”
He reported that all acreage
within the control zone has re-
ceived two spray treatments and,
at present, aerial applicators
are working on the third treat-
ment. A total of approximately
133,000 acres had received the
third spray treatment by Wed-
nesday morning.
Johnson Said, “We anticipate,
with the weather continuing as
it has, winding up the third
spraying and getting a fourth
treatment before we have a kill-
ing frost.”
He said the third application
has greatly reduced the boll wee-
vil population in these heavily
infested fields. He suggested that
farmers checking their fields to
determine the amount of kill do
so on the fourth or fifth day af-
ter the third spraying. He said
that the great reduction in wee-
vil population is not as apparent
on the second or third day after
spraying.

New signs on the road to the
Primary Building designate it a
One Way Street, but drivers evi-
dently haven’t read them. In
fact, I hadn’t myself until they
were pointed out to me.
You can drive west to the cir-
cle, go around it and down the
street south. You can’t circle
it and head back east. . .which
is what most drivers keep doing.
You also can’t drive north on
Jefferson to the Primary Build-
ing. That block is for south-
bound traffic only. Complicated,
but safer for the youngsters.

Through the mall I received a
formal engraved announcement
which read: "The Telephone

Area Code 81539067 and that due
to increased business prosperity
making possible more invest-
ments, we are able to announce
even longer numbers.”
This was so funny. . .and so
appropriate. . .it took me a while

(iFrom the discussion held by
the Democratic County Commit-

careful in marking their ballots.
The people counting votes can't
read minds. Thus, if you mark
through one name and lepve two

can’t decide which of those two
you wanted to vote for and must
throw out your vote on that of-

Sunday was quite a day for
Beulah McCurdy. When she ar-
rived at heT Methodist Sunday
School class she was met by
Boydie Jung with a birthday
cake, napkins and forks and Lee
and Jeanette Krai with soft
drinks, since it was her birthday.
They had their lesson, then
spent the last five minutes en-
joying the birthday celebration.
Boydie explained that he only
put four candles on the cake to
represent the fourth grade.
Beulah said, “That’s just fine,
Boydie. With our lesson and an
we wouldn’t have had time to
blow out 84 candles."
She said Boydie looked at hei
seriously and said, “Mrs. Mc-
Curdy, you sure don’t look 84
years old.”
Mrs. McCurdy hastened to as
sure him that she isn’t 84. . .that

never have been able to climb

Two seniors at Crosbyton High
have been honored for their high
performance on ihe National
Merit Scholarship Qualifying
Test given last spring. Each stu-
dent who is endorsed by his
school receives a formal Letter
of Commendatin signed by his
principal and the president o*
the National Merit Scholarship
Corporation.
Wayne Hill, the school’s prin-
cipal, has announced that the
Commended students are: Ther-
esa May and Louis Gene Rich-
ardson.
John M. Stainaker, president
of the National Merit Scholar-
ship Corporation, said:
"Letters of Commendation art
being awarded to 38,000 students
throughout the country in recog-
nition of their outstanding per-
formance on the qualifying test.
We wish to call attention in this
way to their high academic a-
chievement.
“Although they did not reach
the Status of Semifinalists in the
current Merit Program, they art-
very capable students. The Sem-
ifinalists and Commended stu-
dents together constitute about
2 percent of all high school sen-
iors. This certainly signifies
noteworthy accomplishment 1 by
all these bright young people.
“We urge the Commended stu-
dents to make every effort to at-
tend college, and to develop to
the fullest their promise of fu-
ture achievement. By doing so
they will benefit both them-
selves and the nation.”
The National Merit Scholar-
ship Corporation gives recogni-
tion to two groups of students
who achieve high scores on the
NMSQT. The Semifinalist group
is composed of the highest-scor-
ing students in each state and in
U. S. territories. Some 14,000
Semifinalists take a second ex
amination to establish further
their eligibility to become Final-
ists and to receive consideration
for Merit Scholarships.

Boy Scouts To
‘Trick or Treat’ for
CROP October 31
The local Boy Scout troop is
planning to use the occasion of
Hallowe’en as a means of help-
ing others. Troop members will
make a door to dour visit in
town, but instead of asking for
candy will ask tor donations to
CttOP (Christian Rural Overseas
Program.)
CROP is the Community Re-
sources Appeal of Church World
Service which collects farm coni
modifies and cash, through vol
unteer workers, for the overseas
relief and rehabilitation program
of the churches. Gifts to CROP
are put to use under church su-
pervision strictly on the basis oi
need.
Most of the funds given to
CROP go to buy and snip food
commodities from government
surplus stocks. In this manner,
a little money goes a long way.
For example, $4.00 will provide
rice to feed one child a rneal a
day for an entire year, when
channeled through the church
program in Hong Kong.
To encourage others to help
themselves, some of CROP funds
go to buy seeds, simple farm
tools and other needed items.
Scouts calling at your door for
these donations will be in uni-
form and will be wearing orange
and black tags with CROP print-
ed in bold letters.

poured out, salt was poured all
over and the trash was poured
out over the building.
Sheriff Fletcher Stark Is in-
vestigating the destructive van-
dalism.
Band Boosters stated, “If they
had just taken what they wanted
and left everything else alone,
we would have been in better
shape. As it Is we have lost our
supplies for the whole season
due to plain malicious destruc-
tiveness.

their parents after hearings in
County Court before County
Judge Cecil Berry Wednesday on

Thirty years ago
man entered the office of The
Crosbyton Review and made it
a point to meet everyone in the
office. Some thirty days later
this same young man met
Trends at another spot in town
and without hesitation called
him by his first name. George
Mahon made both a personal
and a political friend by that
little gift of memory back in
1934.
Through the years the Con-
gressman from the 19th District
on most visits to Crosbyton has
dropped in for a few minutes
chat at The Review. On occasion
I have written him, usually on
some subject pertaining to Cros-
byton or this ared. A few years
ago he took time out from an
appropriations committee meet-
ing at Washington to visit with
Harry Jung ana myself while we
were there on city business.
George Mahon, although re-
taining the common touch, has
become an important man in
Washington during those 30
years. As the new chairman of
the House Appropriations Com-
mittee, he is classed variously
as the third to the fifth most im--
irtant man in the capitol.
rery branch of government,
from the office of the president
down through the smallest de
partment, is dependent on Ma-
hon and his committee1 for the
money that keeps the wheels of
government turning. , It is an
awesome responsibility .but in
our opinion no man in Congress
is better equipped than George
Mahon to handle the job.
Because he is not the type of
man to make headlines, the Con-
gressman will likely never be-
come a candidate for high ad-
ministrative office, such as pre-
sident or vice-president. But in
my opinion this country will be
pori
Eve
passing up one of its ablest men
when it tails to elevate George
Mahon.

In addition to national, state
and local offices, voters Novem-
ber 3 will have three amend-
ments to the Texas Constitution
to vote on. None of these amend-
ments appear to be very contro-
versial, apd I believe a vote
FOR each amendment would be
in order.
The Texas constitution now
gives school authorities the right
to spend 1 percent of the perma-
nent school fund per year for
current expenses. Amendment
No. 1 would take away this
right. Argument is that Texas
has been spending its capital
when it should be spending on-
ly the revenues from this capi- '
tal. By voting FOR you are vot-
ing against the spending of the
Permanent School Fund.
it it vc
Amendment No. 2 involves
only in informing of the public
on the creation of Conservation
and Reclamation Districts. Pub-
lic notice of the creation or
changes in districts would be re-
quired at least 30 days in ad-
vance. My opinion is that a bill
to inform the public is always
good. I vote FOR this one.
☆ ☆ ☆
Amendment No., 3 would re-
quire very little expense but In
opt
gap; Texans voted tor a medlca*
care program for recipiants of
Old Age Assistance, which be-
gan in 1962. This amendment
would add to the list of persons
not receiving Old Age Assistance
but who are unable to pay for
medical care. This would cove»
a comparatively few people ana
would add little to the cost ox
this program. I also will vote
FOR this amendment.
