NEVER THE SAME
One by one, death is calling the old-timers of this terri-
tory, and just in the past year Wheeler county people have
been forced to carry on with the absence of many familiar
figures saddening gatherings of families and friends.
In a comparatively newly settled territory as that near
Shamrock and other parts of the county, the older comers
are missed more than in other places. It is they who were
able to tell the stories of cowboys, of the first settlements in
this county, of life in Old Mobeetie and near Fort Elliott
camp. They remembered the first division of ranch lands,
the roll of merchants who settled each town, and many dates,
which, though legally little in demand from the regular files,
make romance in the memories of those interested in the
early days. Wheeler county old-timers cannot remember
back to Indian days, few of them have been Civil War vet-
erans, but to the people who have known and loved them,
and to whom their presence is necessary to make the famil-
iar circles of life as usual, their vacant places bring more
than ordinary tragedy. Another generation is here to take
over the title of old-timers, but the change is too great a re-
minder that the old days will never come again.
TEJAS” FOR TEXANS
Whether it succeeds or fails, the person who achieved
the idea for a Texas opera company, presenting an opera on
Texas, has opened a new medium for the unfolding of na-
tive talent, and will be heralded as the founder of a new in-
terest in his state.
Oragnization of the opera company has been undertaken
in San Antonio, with plans underway for the presentation of
the first natvie-born opera during the state’s centennial cel-
ebration in 1936. “Tejas,” the story of Texas Under Six
Flags should prove an inspiration to everyone when present-
ed in music. Plans are being made to tour the state and
cities of neighboring states with a chorus now in prepara-
tion to introduce the opera. If the plans go through, all
people of Texas, whether directly interested in music or not,
should feel honor bound to attend, and later to attend the
opera itself if possible. Belief in the future of music has
brought many suggestions that America should sponsor
home operas, just as many small villages of Europe have
done for countless years. The project taken up by Texas
probably will become nationwide, and the presentation of a
state opera company may cause enough comment that small-
er groups will follow Texas’ example. While in many ways
it has proven profitable to turn from the older ways and ac-
cept modern thought, modern machinery and living condi-
tions, still some of the best of the old customs should remain
with us today; the smaller opera company and home presen-
tations are one of these.

Our party, Cleo Williams, Lillie B.
Meadows, Ollle Marie Erskine, Ruth
Faust, Mrs. Marl Jaco, Lavelle Jaco
and myself arrived at the 4-H Club
camp on the Dallas Fair grounds
October 16 at 5:30 p. m. We met
girls from other counties, ate sup-
per and went to bed early as we
were all tired. However girls kept
coming in during all hours of the
night.
The next morning after breakfast
the camp chaperons took charge of
their groups, each chaperon having
about 20 girls. Our chaperon was
Miss Ruby Adams, home demonstra-
tion agent from Pampa. They took
us to the city auditorium where the
picture of the entire group was
made. We were then separated into
divisions so that too many would
not visit any one building at the
same time. Our group went to the
Fish Hatchery. The fish were in
glass cases where the water flowed
In and out all the time In a small
yellow brick building surrounded by
large beautiful llllie ponds. The fish,
large and small, engaged our atten-
tion for some time.
Next we visited the 4-H exhibits.
We could look at sewing and can-
ning from all over the state and
compare it with our work. The ex-
hibit was arranged very attractively.
We also saw the agricultural exhi-
bit In the boys’ section.
Our meals were banquets. Some
of the girls were selected as hos-
tesses and presided at every meal
Cleo Williams was hostess from our
county. We entertained guests from
all parts of the country. One whole
afternoon was spent In the Zoo
where we saw every animal from the
humble o’possum to the big giraffe.
To get to this Zoo, we took a good
long street car ride, which was quite
a treat to girls from West Texas.
We were quite fortunate in that
we were the first group of 4-H
Campers that have had the privilege
of attending two operas during one
camp. We also visited the minia-
ture Alamo, furniture exhibit, au-
tomobile building, fine arts building
and, of course, no fair trip Is com-
plete without an afternoon on
amusement row, where there Is ev-
erything in the world to trip you up
and take your nlckles. One evening
was spent in playing games Just as
we do in 4-H Council meetings, an-
other was spent putting on stunts
Cleo Williams acted as one of the
district agents, Judging a clothing
contest for our group while the rest
of us were the contestants. These
stunts finished our camp activities
except the good bys from the friend
we had met, but It will be many
moons before the girls from this
camp cease to think of some new
event that they have forgotten to
tell their companions and families.
Hurrah for the 4-H Dallas Fair
camps. May our county continue to
send as many as it Is allowed every
year.

NEW BOYS TO
JOIN CAGERS
Couch McCurley Finds Brighter
Prospects For Basketball
Team This Week.
Coach Roy McCurley faced a
brighter outlook for his 1933-34 Hel-
ton high school cagers this week
with the enrollment of three new
students who will be candidates for
the Lions squad.
The new candidates are Gordon
Richerson, Curtis Riggs, and Wil-
moth Muse.
Gordon Richerson, who halls from
the Center community, is expected
by Coach McCurley to make some of
the other candidates for the pivot
position fight for their places on the
squad. Richerson, a former Wheel-
er cageman, Is a six-footer and has
showed plenty of good floor work
and ball handling In early practice
sessions.
Red-headed Wilmoth Muse Is
showing a flash of speed in the
dally practices but where he will
land in the line-up probably will be
lip to the remainder of the squad to
fight, for he is there working for one
of the places at guard.
Curtis Riggs, who has just moved
Into the community, has the advan-
tage of about three years basketball
experience helping him In his work
for a forward or center position.
When he Is able to attend school
regularly, he Is expected to be one
of the most promising candidates
for the Lions’ squad this year.
