Pioneer Costume Winners
m. a
to those who eniex ail soils of contests, and there is many
here, we convey hope lhat someday your efforts will pay off.
Fern Kosel has been entering contests as a hobby for quite
awhile and her first surprise came in winning $25 in A Readers
Digest Christmas Contest.
She heard last Thursday that she'd won a five day trip for
two to her choice of five locations, Las Vegas, Nev., Miami
Beach, Disneyland, Ocupulco and the Bahamas. She hasn't
been to any of these vacation spots but leans toward the Ba-
hamas, IF she can get Joe to go with her. And with her
hopes, for Joe to go with her, we add ours.

Jolm Slagle is happy this week with his trip to Ruidosa, and
we hope the many other Reagan County residents who spent
a cool weekend there were almost as happy. They couldn't
have been as pleased as John, who won the Big Q.
He joins a long list of local racing fans who have won it,
and one of his party, Freda Kruse, won it last year, not so
rich as his, but a good one.
And on the week scouting camp to Sol Mayer those toys
returned full of adventuresome stories. In working toward
their canoeing merit badge rowers are supposed to change
ends in the canoe. This was happening between Jimmy
Matthews and anotlier Scout when Jimmie's cap fell into the
water. In trying to catch it, he went over, capsizing die
canoe and its occupants. As he came up, climbed back, he
commented, "Boy-that was refreshing."
The positive reaction is always refreshing, especially dur-
ing 100 degree weather.

If one gets down in spirits one only has to read and be grate-
ful that one hasn’t had to undergo the same tragedy of a fire
that occured to the Rackleys in Lovington. Helen Atwood
said that when they were working, trying to assess, inventory,
after the fire, the twin sisters got hysterical at times. She'd
pick up something. They'd examine. Then with utter aban-
don one or the other would say, "throw it away......"

Humor has to provide a pretty thick insulation to overcome
many trials such as tliis, for instance.
However, in another lighter, unintential error yours truly
made, Johnny Howard has had to take a lot of guff.
In his wedding write-up I reported that he worked for Hal-
liburton, and he works for The Western Company.
All I can say is that I knew he worked for the Western
Company. Why I typed Halliburton, I’ll never know. Just
didn't know I made the mistake until it was called to my
attention.
And the two companies are competiters.

We became spoiled to the late spring and the cool weather.
Now it's time to hole up for about five hours during midday,
if possible, then crawl out later. And there'll still be enough
daylight hours left.

News of Ex-Texonites
By Mrs. Osa Goble
Mr. and Mrs. Osa Goble
observed their 57th wedding
anniversary Wednesday, June
21. They have resided in the
Grapecreek Community near
San Angelo since Mr.Goble's
retirement in 1959.
The L.B.Menielles had "open
house” June 14. for all ex-Tex-
onites. Ilonor guest was Mrs.
J.J. Isbell of St. Louis, Mo.
The Menielles reside at 1830
Dove Creek Drive in San An-
gelo.
Friends will be glad to learn
of good medical reports for
Charnell Clour and Gwen Rivers,
nieces of the Osa Gobles, and
also good report on Harold Cobb
of Midland. These three check
in at M.D. Anderson Hospital
in Houston every two or three
months.
The Osa Gobles visited in
the home of the Tom Hollands
in Big Lake June 13th and at-
tended the Texon Reunion.
Carlsbad Chapter 1092, Order
of Eastern Star, honored Alice
Goble as "Mother" of the chap-
ter May 4th. and presented her
with a lovely gift. Mrs.Goble
was installed June 1st as organ-
ist and will serve this station,
her fourth year.
To those we didn't get to
say "hello" at the Texon Reun-
ion. so sorry, and to those who
didn't come, you missed a
joyful time and a marvelous
rain.
To the many ex-Texonites
who are ill, we send best
wishes - especially to Mrs.
Howard Maris. Jess Newbrough's,
and Wally Ritter.
Luther Goble of Crane is
spending a few days in the Osa
Gobles' home.
By the way. according to
my list of Texon Reunions, we

By O. Clark Fisher
U. 8. Representative
21it Cz^zzzziz-zl U!rir!rt
IF A FREE-FOR-ALL prefer-
ential election were held now,
51.1 percent of voters in the
21st district would favor Presi-
dent Nixon.
That’s according to the tabu-
lated results of our opinion poll,
just completed. Of the more
than 100, 000 ballots mailed
out (including many sent to
husbands and wives jointly),
31, 000 replies were received.
It can be safely assumed that
the results reflect a fairly ac-
curate cross-section of public
opinion in our 30-county area.
Next in presidential prefer-
ence is Governor Geo. Wallace,
preferred by 18.1 percent, fol-
lowed by Humphrey with 6.7
percent, McGovern with 5.7
percent, and Kennedy next
with 2.2%. Only 12.2 percent
were undecided or did not de-
sire to express a preference.
A total of 88.7% oppose am-
nesty for draft dodgers, while
91.1% favor it.
67.3% believe more tax
money should go for pollution
control, and 28.9% think other-
wise. Many insist affected in-
dustries should do more.
A $2 minimum wage is op-
posed by 59.4%, and 38.8%
approve.
Slightly under 3 percent favor
forced busing, and a whopping
97% want no part of it. On this
issue practically none were un-
decided.
The proposed guaranteed an-
nual income concept is opposed
by 91.6% with 8.2% favorable.
Much dissatisfaction was
shown toward the OEO, with
79.9 % recorded as thinking
that program has not been
worthwhile. The Peace Corps
fared better. 54.2% think well
of it. and 39.8% are critical.
A National Health Plan,
which would cover everyone,
is opposed by 79.7%. while
17.9% support that approach.
Many answers registered strong
belief the present medical and
hospital program is far too ex-
pensive, and favor better con-
trols over costs.
Garden Notes
The recent rains have im-
proved lawns and gardens all
over town, and many appear
to be in top condition. There
are some complaints of red
spiders or spider mites on
flowers and vegetables. These
can be washed off with a force-
ful spray from the hose if they
are not allowed to become too
thick. They are very small red-
dish insects usually found on
the lower side of leaves where
they suck juice until the leaves
turn pale with grey blotches.
The whole plant may take on
a rusty appearance. If more
than a few spider mites are
present, spray with Kelthane,
Malathion, or another chem-
ical. making sure to cover the
underside of leaves. Sevin is
not effective to control them.
The spray should be repeated
in a week or ten days. Toma-
toes. roses, and dahlias are
special favorites of this pest.
For mildew, try washing off
with water, then spray with
Phaltan.
When turned loose to feed at
will, a horse will eat himself to
death, while a mule will eat
only his fill.
