NEARLY JEWS| Chron Home Burglarized;
A none-too-dependable nawa source raporta
aome grumbling ovar Area of ficuila' endorse-
mantof Rapublican Congraaaman Bob Prica f or
Secretary of Agriculture.
Wall, what did you expect?You know the
Democrata LOST the alec don . . . and Richard
Nixon could hardly be expected to appoint an
opponent to that poet. We'll be very, very for-
tunate if the Preeident-Elect decides to put
a Texan in as Secretary of Agriculture ....
he could name a New Yorker who has never
seen a farm, you know.
**********
Getting together the items your youngsters
need for school is complicated when you work
and try to go to their other activities, too,
but it was almost TOO MUCH at the Gowens
household last week when son Mike ATE little
sister Kittie's science project.
Seems Kittiehad to have a potato for some
project at school the next day. There wasn't
one in the house, but between closing iq> the
Koff ee Kup and getting to a ballgame Kathryn
managed to find one potato.
Next morning there was no potato . . . Mike
had eaten itwhen he came in from the ballgame.
**********
Well, ho, ho, ho! It hailed out the crops . . ,
it even sank the boat during one thunderstorm
. . . the car nearly caught fire the other day
. . . one of the farm pickups is wrecked . . . the
dryer quite working . . . the electric can ope-
ner broke . . . a filling fell out of my tooth
, . . the plug to the kitchen sink came apart
. . . it's a good thing we'll soon get to start
over an another year. . . which has gotta be bet-
ter.
We're all still healthy, though, so those "ho,
ho, ho's" should start sounding a little merrier
soon.
* ..********
Just learned that the Lorenzo textile mill
has landed a contract with the Indonesian Con-
sulate General of New York to export three
quarters of a million pounds of yam to Indonesia.
Very good!
********
The Lions gave the Melody Misses a rising
ovation Wednesday. If you haven't heard this
vocal group, you can by attending the Community
Christmas Sing Sunday night!
********
Thisfascinatingbit of information was re-
ported by TIM HILL of Hale Center, formerly
of here, to Joe Mark Cargile: 'Since they've put
up the Smokie the Bear posters there hasn't
been a single forest fire on Manhattan Island."
**********
Regarding the latest report out on the Chicago mess:
baloney! None of us would expect our local police to pat the
darling little demonstrators on the head and say, "That's a no
not" after they shoute d obscenities and throw human ex-
crement at them. None of us would take that quietly, would
we ?
Delegates to the convention from right here saw what was
going on and reported it as it was ... and they're far more
factual in their reporting than the slanted stuff that came out

APPROVE TIMM IS COURT REPAIRS
Board Ups Price
OnVisitors’ Meals
Crosbyton school board
members Tuesday night set a
price of $1 on meals at t h e
school lunchroom for non-
school-related adults, voted to
have the tennis courts sealed
and covered with asphalt and
approved purchase of a food
mixer for the school lunchroom
through a program in which
federal funds pay 75 percent of
the mixer's cost and the school
pays 25 percent.
The mixer, to be purchased
from Hobart If approved by the
Texas Education Agency, will
cost$627, with local funds to b e
used to pay $156.87 of this
amount. Purchase of the mixer
would be through the program
of school lunchroom expanlsion
and children nutrition.
Board members expressed
appreciation for parents who
occasionally eat in the lunch-
room and are acquainted with
die kind of meals being served.
The tight budget under which
the lunches are prepared and
served, however, makes it un-
feasible to serve non-school
related adults at the same price
as school personnel end students
are served.
TENNIS COURTS
It was pointed out that the
tennis courts are in need of re-
pair before winter weather
cause permanent damage.
Board members expressed the
opinion that, had funds been
available, they would have
preferred concrete courts, but
in order to protect the courts
at a minimum cost In view of
other school needs, they voted
to accept a bid from lack
Brady for seal and cover for
$625. 00.
TAX COLLECTIONS
School tax assessor-col
lector Roy Radical reported
that 78 percent of the 1968
-tax roll had been collected at
the end of November and
collections as of noon Tuesday
totaled $221,129. 73 (including
the discount) or 80j percent of
the '68 tax rool.
