CARD OF THANKS
Thank you seems so small to
say for the many things done foi
us during my illness.
To those who had any part in
gathering our cotton crop, may
you always know how wonder-
ful friends are when trouble
comes your way. May the Lord
bless all of you.

in carrying out control activities
within the county, the agent al-
so served as advisor to the com-
mittee which coordinated local
participation in the successful
drive to raise more than 3 mil-
lion dollars from the livestock
industry to get the campaign
started nearly three years ago.
Crosby County Livestock pro-
ducers contributed approximate
ly $8,500.00 to this program. This
was $1,500.00 over the quota for
this county.
“The screwworm eradication
program could not have attained
the present high level of success
if it had not had the whole
hearted cooperation and assist-
ance of the local county agricul-
tural agent,” Brunson said.
Dolph Briscoe, Jr. oi Uvalde,
president of the Southwest Ani-
mal Health Research Foundation
which spearheaded the South-
west-wide fund drive, recently
presented a plaque to all the
county agricultural agents in
Texas at the State Conference of
the Texas Agricultural Extension
Service at Texas A&M Univer-
sity- . j
“Never before in the history oi
the livestock industry have the
producers of this state been so
indebted to such a small group,
Briscoe said in pointing out the
contributions county agents have
made toward success of the erad-
ication program.

unusual for a group of one or

My phone rang the other
night, as did many of yours, and
a woman who said she was a
Mrs. Novella Massey calling
from Keystone Readers Service,
1408 NM 27th St., Oklahoma Ci-
ty, phone number JA 5 9212, an-
nounced, "I have a wonderful
surprise for you.”
Since I had been warned in
advance about the calls in this
area, I asked for name, compa-
ny, phone number, etc.
She proceeded to offer me for
60 months entirely at your ex-
pense three magazines, all well-
known monthly women’s maga-
zines. Then she explained that,
in order to get this fine gift, 1
must start next month taking
two other magazines, one of
which is soon going to be pub-
lished every other week and the
other is already published every
two weeks, for only 35 cents a
week for 60 months.
Had I agreed to commit my-
self someone would have called
on me to get me to sign a bond-
ed agreement. This agreement is
binding to both parties.
Doing a bit of figuring you
can soon find out that that 35
cents a week for 60 months, or
five years, equals the same price
as five year subscriptions to all
five, not just the two, maga-
zines.
While not operating outside
the law, exactly, the high pres-
sure sales method is certainly a
case of misrepresentation. It ap-
peals to folks’ desire to get some
thing for nothing . . . which
they won’t get on this deal. Be-
sides, they could have bought
from the local band students and
a percentage of the profits would
have stayed in town.
xt it it
At any rate, I must have ask-
ed too many questions, because
a man’s voice broke into the
supposedly long distance conver
satlon. (By the way, Genera*
Telephone, how can they work
this two phone bit? Can you do
some checking?) The man
claimed to be A. R. Fisher oi
Oklahoma City, but he decllnea
to give a mailing address, say
ing instead that he was out of
Philadelphia, Pa., and with the
advertising department for Cur-
tis Publishing Co. He insisted
they could be checked out with
the Better Business Bureau
whiah we don’t happen to have
one, of... but said that I was
apparently not interested.
Since I wouldn’t agree to take
the deal on the phone and ask

the conversation.
Although there may be no le-
gal way to stop thhis type o:!
nigh pressure sales, I can at
least warn you. It’s not the Wr
giveaway they make It sound
like. You’ll pay for every page
of every magazine.
Although it’s rather flattering
to think they called YOU long
distance from Oklahoma City cn
some other place, think twice.
They’re probably operating right
here and the long distance bK Is
just a gimmick. You see they’ve
called folks from A-S already
and more on the East Plains.
With that size long distance
phone bill they couldn t possibly
make any money, much less of-
fer a give-away. . _
They’ve probably completed
their work here, but be on guard,
just In case.
