NUMBER S
City Blacked Out
By Youths Armed
With Air Rifles
Archer City’s already grievously
ill-lighted residential districts were
completely blacked out between
the hours of midnight and 2 o’-
clock a. m. New Year’s Eve by an
unknown number of nocturnal
vandals presumably armed with
air rifles. According to L N. Pey-
ton, manager of the local Texas
Electric Service Company office,
the marauders shot out every
street light outside the business
district and got a few alley lights
in the business district.
Parents whose boys own B-B
guns should check on their chil-
dren’s activities that night and for
the guilty ones disciplinary action
should be taken to see that there
is no recurrence of this sort of
vandalism.

You Make ’em
We Like Our’n
It is now the season of the year
| when a lot of folk go in for mak-
ing a batch of decisions, generally
called New Year’s resolutions, by
which they think they’ll curb a lot
of old habits or create a few new
and better ones.
We’ve even been guilty ourself
in past years of this sort of per-
sonal disillusion. But this year
we’ve decided to refrain from any
sort of resolving. In the first
place, we’re pretty well satisfied
with our old habits and don’t know
of any new ones we wish to cul-
tivate. If and when the time ever
comes when we accept delivery on
a pair of new shoes—both for the
same foot—we’ll decide maybe
steps should be taken, and per-
haps by then we’ll think of other
resolutions to make except those
pertaining to next fall’s World
Series and next New Year’s Day
Cotton Bowl game.

Megargel Pair
Celebrate 50th
Anniversary
•>
OLNEY, Texas, Jan. 3.—Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Kunkel whose lives in
this area have been associated
with the development of two West
Texas counties, celebrated their
50! h wedding anniversary at their
home in nearby Megargel recently.
Kunkel, nearly 30 years a miller
in Megargel when he retired sev-
eral years ago, was brought to
Archer County when he was four
yea.rs old, in 1882. He can remem-
ber seeing whiteping buffalo bones
cn these rolling plains, fading re
minders of the big hunts of the
’seventies.
And the back windows of the
Kunkel home look south toward
Throckmorton County, a few miles
away, where Mrs. Kunkel came as
a seven-year-old-girl 60 years ago.
Kunkel gestures expressively
when he recalls the sweep of a
half-century's change. The transi-
tion from prairie to modern times
still amazes him.
Kunkel and his wife know all
about the agricultural early days
of A’-cher and Throckmorton Coun-
ties. Kunkel was a farmer, start-
ing from the time he was 10 years
old and helping with the sheep
shearing, for some 30 years.
“I never did think much of
farming,” says the pioneer who
had nearly a third of a century
of it.
Fred Kunkel was born on Oct.
7, 1878, in Washington County.
He remembers the troubles that
South Texas emigrants had before
they adjusted their farming prac-
tices to the West Texas climate.
Mrs. Kunkel wa* Miss Mattie
Wilhelm, whose parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Wilhelm came to the
New World 71 years ago. They
made their home in Bastrop Coun-
ty and there Mattie Wilhelm was
born on May 9. 1883. She was
seven years old when her parents
came to Throckmorton County.
Her father bought 320 acres and
started farming. From that be-
ginning he added acres until Wil-
helm was one of the county’s ex-
tensive landholders.
The wedding that took place
on Christmas Eve of 1900 at the
Wilhelm residence was an area
social event. The ceremony was
performed by Judge Stribling. Bap
tist minister and early day Throck-
morton County official, and a
crowd of 200 relatives and friends
were there to attend the popular
young couple’s wedding.

March of Dimes Few New Faces
Campaign to Open In Personnel
January 15th At Court House
The 1951 March of Dimes fund
campaign is to get in full swing
on Monday, Jan. 15, and extend
through Jan. 31 when the grand
finale will be a nationwide “March
of Mothers on Polio.” The latter
is to be an organization of moth-
ers in concentrated effort to raise
sufficient funds to meet the 1951
needs for research, care and cure
of polic-mylitis over the nation.
On the night of Jan. 31, people
who have not given and wish to do
so are urgently requested to turn
on their porch lights, or provide
for some kind of light at your
front dc-or, to indicate that you
will give and these mothers will
call for your contributions. Mrs
Luke Kirkland, one of Archer
City’s fund chairmen, plans to see
that every home is called upon be-
tween the hours of 7 and 8 p. m.
Jan. 31 in this “March of Mothers
on Polio.”
In the event you are not con-
tacted personally, anyone in the
county may hand or mail your
contribution to Mrs. Kirkland or
her co-chairman, Roy Hutcheson,
Fund Chairman Jimmy Horany or
County Chairman Dan Powell.
So Give—That Another May
Live!

Jimmy Roberts was home from
Odessa for Christmas with home
folk, the James Roberts.

B. W. Finnel, Jr., of Holliday,
was a pleasant News office visitor
this a. m.
There was no general shake-up
in the faces in the court house
last Monday. In fact, the changes
affected only tw0 offices and one
of those did not undergo a com-
plete overhaul. In the sheriff, as-
sessor and collector’s office four
new faces appeared in the persons
of Claude A. Morrison, newly elect-
ed custodian. Arlen (Shooter)
White pinned on the big tin star
and six-shooter signifying the rank
of outside deputy. Mr*. Clyde
Thomas and Miss Juanita Hoggins
are the new office deputies in the
assessing and collecting offices.
In the Commissioners’ Court
room Roy Kelsey, of Dundee, will
henceforth occupy the chair filled
the past several years by Lee
Phillips, also a citizen of Dundee,
as commissioner of Precinct No. 4.
Farmer W. S. Hale
Traps White Skunk
Farmer W. S. Hale, who resides
with ‘his wife about 6 miles west
of Archer City, brought in a sort
of curiosity of wildlife one day
the first of the week to exhibit it
to any and all who might have
otherwise accused Wooster Hale
of indulging himself in something
Wooster Hale simply does not in
dulge in. The exhibit was a skunk
he had trapped near his house. The
animal was solid white with not a
single black hair on it.
We can’t ever recall ever having
heard of a solid white skunk, al-
though in the trapping days of our
youth, the only kind we ever
caught were predominantly white
—that being the variety—the late
George Phillips and Uncle John
Baggett paid the least for.

W. C. Priebe, accompanied by a
son, Leon, of the Lake Creek com
munity in north Archer County,
were pleasant and appreciated vis-
itors in The News office Tuesday
morning. Mr. Priebe is truly a pio-
neer of the area in which he lives
today. Originally the family set-
tled on land now covered by the
waters of Lake Wichita back in
1887. With the construction of the
lake in 1900, a large part of their
property was inundated and the
balance sold. Piebe later purchased
a tract of land situated on Lake
Creek a few miles south of the
new lake where he resides with his
afmily today. His land now boasts
5 good deep oil wells.
Upon entering our sanctum,
Priebe stated he wanted to sub-
scribe for the paper adding that
he had lived in this county for 67
years and had never been a reader
of The News.

Archer Co. Dry
Despite More Rain
Than Ever Before
Archer County is now in the
midst of a serious drought in spite
o fthe fact that more rain fell here
in 1950 than during any previous
year since present records have
been kept. Wheat planted in the
county has not even come up.
Hardly enough moisture to meas-
ure has fallen in October, Novem-
ber and December. The total for
the three months was only .24 of
ona inch.
Fire Chief John Robinson, vol-
unteer hydrologic observer in Ar-
cher City for the U. S. Weather
Bureau, recorded 53.05 inches of
waterfall for the year 1950. 26
inches is the average in this coun-
ty fer a 12 month period. More
than 37 inches of the total fell
during the months of late May
through early September. The
greatest amount cf rainfall for a
single month was registered in
July, a month that registers hardly
any moisture at all during normal
years. The total for July was 11.80
inches.
Benny Lindeman of Windthorst
was a pleasant News office visitor
this a. m. at which time he re-
quested a classified ad—for rain.
The editor stated “Well, I believe
advertising pays, but it’s not that
good.”
Anyway, Benny said that his
father, Charlie Lindeman, victim
of heart disease since January of
last year, had a severe attack
about a week before Christmas at
which time all his children were
called to his bedside. Besides the
eight who live in this sector, Mrs.

aboard the U. S. S. Seminole be-
tween Japan and Korea and was

FIRST TIME
The only clue—and it is so far
worthless—as to the identity of
the person or persons who with
force entered the Heard Depart-
ment store two months ago and
absconded with $235 in cash and
checks was uncovered here one day
the first of the week.
While cleaning up the premises
at the Shamburger Lumber Yard,
employees found Heard’s bank de-
posit book and the missing checks
where they had been cached in a
pile of debris outside the picket
fence on the west side of Sham-
burgr’s enclosed yard.
This recovery, however, couldn’t
be figured by Heard as subject to
any net gains tax simply because
all but one of a $15 denomination
had been previously paid and that
one for 15 bucks had been stock-
piled by Heard to figure off on his
1950 income tax report.
George L Pace
Burns to Death
In Home Fire
George L. Pace, 68, oil company
president, brother of two Wichita
Falls men and husband of a for.
mer Wichitan, died in a flash fir*
at his Duncan, Okla., home Tues-
day night of last week.
Firemen said Pace apparently
went t° sleep smoking in bed.
They battled the blaze for an bour
before controlling it. They did not
know Pace was in the building.
The president of Pace Petroleum
Company was married to the for-
mer Mildred Gibbs of Wichita
Falls. They have a son and two
daughters. F. P. Pace, a brother,
is an oil operator sharing offices

POLIO POSTER LAD
COMING TO TEXAS
There is a first time for every-
thing, ’tis said. But it isn’t often i
that firsts come in pairs—or al-
most pair*—as they did last week
for Mr. and Mrs. Pres Hudson
when they became grandpa and
grandma. Last Thursday night a
baby girl was born at 11 o’clock
to a son and wife. Mr. and Mrs.
Pete Hudson, in a Wichita Falls
hospital, and Friday at 2 p. m. in
Olney, a baby girl was hem to the
Hudson daughter and husband,
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Copeland,
also of this city.
The little cousins are named
Belinda Sue Hudson and Cynthia
Sue Copeland and both they and
their mothers are getting along
nicely at their respective homes, as
are the proud papas and grand-
parents.
The farm lad whose face graces
1951 March of Dimes campaign
posters is coming to Texas. The
boy, twelve year old Larry Mc-
Kenzie, will visit Houston the first
week in January to take part in
the buildup for the 1951 March of
Dimes in Texas’ largest city.
Larry, Kuckville, N. Y., 4-H club
boy, has told his Houston hosts
that he would like to get away
from big city activities during his
Houston trip to get out into the
country to visit with some typical
Texas farm boys and girls.
Improvement of the young fel-
low, who was stricken with the
bulbar type polio in August, 1949,
has been remarkable, according tc
physicians.
For weeks Larry was desperate-
ly ill. His arms, legs, throat, chest,
adn even his eyes were affected.
But thanks to the care financed
by contributors to the March of
Dimes he ha* rallied so well that
he has already been able to dis-
pense with his left-arm splint. He
confidently expects to be back do-
ing his share of the farm chores.
Young McKenzie’s infectious
goed nature so impressed members
of the Orleans County (N. Y.)
Chapter of the National Founda-
tion for Infantile Paralysis that he
was successfully sponsored as the
1951 MOD poster boy. Now with
both arms outstretched, his good
left hand extended more than his
splinted right, Larry’s grateful,
confident face presents a sfiling
symbol of the thousands who look
to the March of Dimes fr aid
when polio strikes.
Larry’s visit is counted on to
remind Texans of the countless
benefits from supporting the 1951
March of Dimes, January 15-31,
especially since Texas has felt the
full impact cf polio the last three
years and thus has incurred a
large finacisl deficit. His pending
trip also prompts the reminder
that a little -Texas girl, Wanda
Wiley, of Austin, was the 1950
March of Dimes poster subject.

HOW MANY KNOW
WINDTHORST CEMETERY
WAS MOVED 50 YEARS AGO
Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Berend of
Windthorst, were Archer City
shoppers and business attendee
Wednesday. While here, Berend
was a pleasant News caller and
informed us that he and his wife
recently moved to their new home
nearer the town of Windthorst.
The new home, he said, is located
near the site of the old Windthorst
cemetery southwest of town.
Noticing the puzzled look on our
face, Mr. Berend asked “didn’t you
know that the Windthorst ceme-
tery was moved years ago?”
“No,” was our reply. "When
was it?”
“Well,” he said, “it was some-
thing over 40 years ago. There
were about 50 graves in the ceme-
tery and all remain* were moved
to the present cemetery at that
time.”
It seems that, according to Mr.
Berend, who came to Windthorst
over 50 years ago, that the town’s
founders anticipated a larger town
than ever developed and located
the cemetery so that it would not
be encompassed in the town pro-
per. But the founders’ dreams nev-
er came true and it was decided
the burial ground should be moved
closer in.
We wonder how many of our
readers remember anything about
this. We certainly didn’t. In fact,
we’d never even heard anything
about it before.
Mr. and Mrs. Buddy Anderson,
formerly of Gatesville, Tex., are
