VOTE TUESDAY
(An Editorial)
The Signal-Citizen writer Mrges
citizens of Honey Grove to «xer-
cise their right as citizens and vote
next Tuesday, April 3rd — bienn-
ial election day in the City of Hon
ey Grove.
You may think, “What’s the use,
there’s only the three candidates
running for the three places on the
commission”, so since there Is no
opposition, “Why Vote?”
Even though there is no oppos-
ition, should you fail to register
your vote, either "for” or “again-
st”, you are putting yourself In the
category of just not being inter-
ested in your city government.
The Signal-Citizen feels that
in most areas of municipal gover-
nment the present officials h$.ve
done a good administrative job
and are entitled to your endorse-
ment. We are sure that many of
our readers may not think as we
do.----
Go vote. If you can’t conscienti-
ously vote for the incumbents,
scratch them, one or all of them.
If you’re opposed, you’ll be regis-
tering your opposition, even though
you don’t write in a name or names.
The important thing is, TO VOTE!
Construction will get under way
here in the near future on an addi-
tion to Southwestern Bell Tele-
phone Company’s exchange build-
ing. - —
The planned addition will be one
storied, without basement, to the
rear of the existing building, it's
exterior will combine solid mas-
onry walls with face brick. The
addition will be 41 feet wide by
31 feet deep, making an enlarged
building size of 41 feet by 58 feet.

Texan Convicted
At Fort Polk
Fort Polk, La. — A court mar -
tial, in 27 minutes deliberation.
Tuesday found a soldier guilty of
two violations of military law for
describing as “hilarious” his com-
manding general's order against
we want Out” demonstrations.
The soldier, Pfc. Bemis Owen,
23, of Seadrift, Texas, was found
guilty specifically of conduct pre
judicial to good order and discip-
line and bringing discredit on the
armed forces.
The court, after a second delib-
eration that lasted fifteen minutes,
sentenced Owens to imprisonment
at hard labor for six months and
ordered him to forfeit $50 a month
in pay while he is in the stockade.
He makes $124 a month as a pri-
vate first class.
Parents Shaken
His mother and father, Mr. and
Mrs. Paul Owen of Seadrift, put
their arms around each other when
the sentence was pronounced. They
were visibly shaken. The father is
an oilfield worker.

HG Rodeo Set For
M12th, 13th, 14th
The Honey Grove ROund-Up
Club’s annual rodeo will be held on
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
nights, July 12-13-14, R. B. Self,
Round-Up Club President has an
noun cod.
Producers of the show this year
will be the BNW Rodeo Associa-
tion of Alba, Texas. Added money
will be added in virtually all events
this year and a good show is plan-
ned. The show will be held at the
club’s all-steel arena on Highway
100, two miles north of Honey
Grove.
Other officials of the Round-Up
Club in addition to Self are Bryan
Pierce, vice president; John Bar-
rett, secretary-treasurer and G. C.
Hall, John Hart, W. E. Newberry
and W. L. Chamberlain, directors.
The son, a reservist, left the
University of Texas when he was
called to active duty last fall.
He pleaded innocent Monday
when hi® trial started, to the
charges. They involved the com-
mander of Fort Polk and the 49th
Texas Armored Division, Maj. Gen,
Harley B. West of Dallas.
Capt. Edgar Nash of Weather-
ford, chief defense lawyer, asked
the court to consider Owen’s youth
and the fact that he made an hon-
est mistake, motivated by honest
convictions.
Charges Deliberately Made
The prosecution contended that
Owen made the statement delib-
erately and is Intelligent enough
to know what he was doing.
Needed Clearing
Cook said that when Owen gave
him the “hilarious climax” state-
ment, Owen impressed upon him
that the statement had to be clear-
ied with the base public Informa-
tion officer.
So, Cook said he had another
member of the New Orleans UPI
staff telephone Lt. Col. Fred Fran-
cls, the base public relations of-
ficer, and read the statement to
him. Cook said Francis heard it
and-Francis said, “well you—haw
your statement.”
Francis, as a witness, backed
up Cook’s testimony. He said as
far as general statements by sol-
diers are concerned, he has no
control over them, unless they are
submitted to his office.
In final pleadings .the defense
contended Owen is a young, inex-
perienced soldier and should not
be punished for exercising the
right of freedom of speech.
Defense and prosecution rested
after which the court re-
tired to discuss a verdict.
West banned “we want out dem-
onstrations” at the fort last week
and Owen said the order was a
“hilarious cHmax to a chain of
Injustices.”
Owen made the statement by
telephone to Sidney W. Cook, man-
ager of the New Orleans UPI bu-
reau. Cook testified recently as a
defense witness. Cook said that on
a previous visit to the fort, he
had talked to Owen because he
understood Owen was a leader of
the protest demonstrations. _
The prosecution said freedom of
speech also carries responsibility
for what is said and Owen dim-
aged respect for West.
Game Wardens To
Begin Checks For
Fishing Licenses
TYLER.—With the beginning of
the spring fishing season, game
wardens now are beginning a care-
ful check of licenses, according to
Charles Burnette, Conservation Su-
pervisor of the Game and Fish
Commission in Tyler.
A resident fishing license costs
$2.15 and is required of every per-
son fishing in any of the public
waters of the State of Texas. No
license is required of persona un-
der 17 years of age or over 65
years of age. No license is re
quired of a person or a member of
his immediate family when fish-
ing upon property that he owns or
upon which he resides. No license
is required of persons fishing with
a trot line, throw line or ordinary
pole and line having no reel or
winding device, when fishing in
the county of his residence. The
same $2.15 license may be purchas-
ed by non-residents. r"T
A pamphlet intitled “Lakes and
Streams” giving comprehensive in-
formation on the waters of East
Texas may be obtained by writing
to the Game and Fish Commission,
Tyler, Texas and asking for Bull-
etin no. 38. It also lists the fresh
water fishing laws of the State.
49th To Tackle
"Iron Dragoon"
Exercise May 1-15
, FORT POLK.— Hard-trainea
Texas National Guardsmen of the
49th Armored Division tackle the
unit’s most extensive field problem
in history May 1-15 when Exercise
Iron Dragoon sweeps across some
1,300 square miles of Western
Louisiana.
The Texas division, called to act-
ive duty during the nation’s de-
fense buildup last fall, will be the
central unit in the 15-day maneu-
ver. Some 30 support units from
10 pbsts in three U. S. Army areas
are pegged to participate.
Iron Dragoon will be the largest
maneuver at Fort Polk since Oper-
ation Sage Brush in 1955 and the
largest slated in the six-state 4th
U. S. Army area this fiscal year.
It will involve some 20,000 troops.
In addition to the 150,000 acres
on the reservation, officials are
negotiating for maneuver rights
to an additional 600,000 in parishes
adjacent to the military installat-
ion.__ ■........
The maneuver sets the stage for
simulated and limited war situ-
ation overshadowed by threats of
a general war. The play of nuclear,
chemical and radiological warfare,
and a combat surveillance figures
heavily in the problem.
All phases of armored operat-
ions to include a passage of lines,
limited and deep objective attacks,
and deep reconnaissance will be
undertaken. Support type units
will be provided with an actual and
realistic workload throughout the
exercise.
A two-day planning conference
was held at Fort Polk this week
with Brig Gen. John A. Beall, act-
ing III Corps commander, from
Fort Hood, Tex., who is deputy ex-
ercise director for Iron Dragoon.
Serving as exercise director will
be Lt. Gen. Carl H. Jark, new
commander of the Fourth U. S.
Army, headquarters at Fort Sam

director,' wttl determine the se-

ONG’S HAT, N. J.— Ong’s Hat
is the smallest town in New Jersey
but its population rate remains
steady.
It's been zero as long as any-
one can remember.
Tucked away in a comer of Bur-
lington County, this “town has
no residents, no business districts,
no outskirts, no important sites,
nothing, Yet, for sentimental rea-
sons perhaps, it still Bhows up on
most maps of the state.
The Hat was a stop over in the

lined its streets.

Cranflll. ‘X have tried most every-
thing,” he continued, “But my
first experience with Coastal was
a 25 acre field planted with ACP
assistance In 1960. And that con-
vinced me.” „ ‘ ,
Dick planted an additional 175
acres to Coastal in 1961 and car-
ried 250 head of cattle through-
out the year. His herd now num-

“It produces more bay per dollar

ations.
Cpntrol headquarters will be es-
tablished at North Fort Polk, ap-
proximately halfway between the

have been made to accomodate

the play of the problem.
Iron Dragoon climaxes the se-
