Summer recreation is varied with local citizens and they
work hard at it. We've been keeping up with the frank Rut-
ledge's home improvements and it is progressing at a fast
pace despite the apparent slowness one thinks when one lives,
prepares meals and lives in it at the time.
Oteka Rutledge has reminded me that twice, sorta in des-
peration, she kept in mind what I'd said one time. "Keep a
project going".
All the better is she considers this huge project instead of
a little one only my outlook envisions. They'll have a larger
family room, new bath and fireplace by thinking big.
And in off hours Sam Douglas poured the concrete for the
new addition, taking off for flying instructions from Dale
Calley, using Otis Dison's plane. Sam soloed last Friday,
adding another pilot to the community, if and when he takes
the written exam.
And those fishermen! There's an exedus from Big Lake
every weekend. No use in trying to name families, they're
too numerous. And fishing trips are about the cheapest form
of family vacationing, even overnight.
Margaret Grant told of her sister's boat. Their name is O.
A. Tally and on their boat stands the name it was christened-
B. O.A.T. Strangers take a quick second look.
Last Saturday this grandmother went to Prude ranch to pick
up Vance and the rest of the carload stayed at Balmorhea for
swimming. Returning soon, we all picnicked until 6 p.m.
when we heard thunder start in earnest, along with flashes of
lightening. It was miaculous to note the changes what fifteen
minutes can wrought in a merry scene. All those clusters of
people sunning themselves, picnicking, had their possessions
packed and were loading the cars for the quick get-away. It
turns downright cold when the rains start there.
And on the way to Fort Davis, every available tree, picnic
area held a party eating out.
No wonder greater plans must be made for a long trip if
one is to find lodging enroute.
Mrs. Joe Tatum, Mary, has sent the address of her mother.
Mrs. Bessie Newsom with whom she is staying this summer for
awhile. Mrs. Newsom is considered seriously ill and is a pa-
tient in Brownwood Community Hospital, Room 324, Brown-
wood. Mary wrote that she is enjoying cards and letters and
still retains a good sense of humor and would enjoy hearing
from Reagan County friends.
When we heard from Mary Tatum Wednesday A.m., she
had addressed the letter to me, then added, The Big Lake
Wildcat.
Thinking better of it, she did add the word newspaper to
Wildcat, but it really wasn't necessary. "I've grown accus-
tomed to the name........"

The Roy Lee Adams
Have New Arrival
For those who say the railroads
are at the beginning of the end.
here's a progress report from Santa Fe that says
it's much, much more like the end of a beginning.
MORE POWER
We're adding 52 new giant
diesels and rebuilding 50
older units to provide a
locomotive fleet producing
over 3,850,000
horsepower.
MORE CARS
1910 additional cars are
coming in 1972, including
100 giant refrigerated
hopper cars for
in-bulk movement of
potatoes, oranges and
other perishables.
MORE TERMINALS
Santa Fe's new million
dollar rail and truck
terminal has now been
completed at Houston,
Texas to meet expanding
truck, Piggy-Back and
container traffic.
BETTER SERVICE
Run through trains with
connecting railroads link
—east, west, and
southwest and save
hours moving through
Santa Fe's electronic
classification yard in
Kansas City.
BETTER PIGGY-BACK
We re expanding
Piggy- Back and container
service all along the
Santa Fe to handle
increasing domestic and
international shipments.
BETTER IDEAS
An expanding microwave
network linked to our
data system for car tracing
and locomotive utilization,
and plans for the
development of a unique
coaxial train for moving
containers are just a few
of the new ideas at
work on the Santa Fe.
MORE and BETTER are key words at Santa Fe. What we're doing, is why we re saying,
rail service is stilt one of the most efficient ways to move freight. What we're spending
says so too: over $100 million this year in railway capital expenditures. One billion in the
last 10 years Two billion since World War II.
The railroad industry and the Nation need sensible transport regulatory policies—
administered with an even hand. We can take it from there—into a new era of railroading.
Still think the railroads are at the beginning of the end? For Santa Fe it’s more tike

COLLEGE Station--How often
have you bought something "on
sale" and later wished you
nadn't?
Planning and knowledge are
two shopping helpers that can
keep you one step ahead of the
bargain salesman, Mrs. Doris
Myers, Texas Agricultural
Extension Service home man-
agement specialist, suggested.
"Knowledge is your most im-
portant tool in getting a bar-
gain. " Mrs.Myers noted. "The
better informed you are about
prices, quality, advertising tech-
niques, store reputation, brands,
grades and just plain arithmetic,
the more you'll get for your
money."
Planning helps you to think
ahead and spot attractive sales
that fit into your budget, she
said.
"Ask if the sales item meets
a real need and will not upset
your family spending plan."
According to the Texas A&M
University specialist, planning
also means carefully examin-
ing the item on sale as well
as the market. Check the
guality of the product and
compare its cost with the price
in other stores. Also practice
pre-sale shopping to investigate
regular price, quality and con-
dition of items before they go
on sale.
"Seasonal sales are worth
watching, " Mrs. Myers said.
"Many shoppers save large a-
mounts each year by timing
their purchases according to
the specials, which are usually
scheduled just before new
merchandise arrives."
She said that timing of sales
varies, but July is usually the
month to watch for spring and
summer clothing bargains.
July 4th specials and sporting
goods offers. August often
brings furniture and white
goods sales, followed by back-
to-school bargains.

ODESSA - When the lights
go up on the opening of the
Fourth Annual Odessa Shake-
speare Festival Friday night,
it will indeed mark the meet-
ing of the "twain" as Fast and
West mingle in a delightful
combination.
The bard's famous comedy-

ister, T.Anthony K.Elliott,
CGM, and his wife, hosted to
a western-style barbecue ser-
ved by the Odessa Chuck Wag-
on Gang, prior to the opening
performance.
Globe Director, Charles David
McCally, stated that once be-
fore he had adapted "Shrew"
to the Western hemisphere and
that it was highly successful.
The language of the play will
remain as Shakespeare wrote
them except the names of the
towns will be in Texas - not
Italy.
Odessa's Globe of the Great
Southwest features year-round
classics with professional tal-
ent , but the highlight each
year is the 10-week Shakes-
peare Festival, with three
plays in repertory Tuesday
through Saturday nights and a
2:30 p.m. Sunday matinee.
The "Shrew" will run through
June 22, and then be joined by
"The School for Wives" by

until July 1st when "Romeo
and Juliet" opens.
"The plays are scheduled
so that visitors can be in Odes-
sa for the weekend and see all
three, " sGid McCally. Reserva-
tions may be made by writing
the Globe Theatre, 2308 Shake-
speare Road, Odessa, Texas,

Dates of the Shakespeare
Festival are June 16 through
August 20 and single admis-
sion tickets are $3.00 for

"Persons who become disabled
in 1972 may need more than 5
years of work credit under soc-
ial security to qualify for dis-
ability benefits, "J.M. Talbot,
social security manager, an-
nonneed todey
Mr. Talbot explained that
anyone who becomes disabled
in 1972 who was born before
1930 will have to meet two
work requirements. First, die
individual must have 20 quar-
ters of coverage during die
40 quarter or 10 year) period
ending when that person be-
comes disabled. Secondly, he
must be fully insured. Accord-
ing to Mr. Talbot, this means
the person will need a total of
at least 21 quarters. "What
this means is that in addition
to having 20 quarters in the
10 years before the disability
a person will also need one
more quarter which can be at
any time since social security
began in 1937. " Mr. Talbot
stressed. He emphasized that
this requirement applied only
to people born before 1930
who become disabled in 1972.
"Persons born in 1930 or later
will need to have only the 20
quarters during the 10 years be-
fore the disability began or, if
they are young enough, even
fewer credits than this, Mr.
Talbot added. "If a person
has enough quarters and is un-
able to work because of a con-
dition that will last at least
one year, he can be paid
monthly social security bene-
fits for as long as he is disab-
led."
For more information, con-
tact the Social Security Office
at 3000 West Harris Avenue
(P.O. Box 3808) in San Angelo,
Texas, or see the representa-
tive when he is in your area.
