Farm Bureau TO
Send Queen To
Chicago Meeting
The Texas Farm Bureau will
give recognition to the beauty
charm and vivaciousness of farm
and ranch girls this year by spon-
soring a state-wide Queen Contest,
according to President J. Walter
Hammond.
Top prize for the winner who
will be selected in November
the annual convention in Mineral
Wells is an all-expense paid trip
to the national convention in De
cember in Chicago. The Farm Bu-
reau will also pay the expenses of
a matron escort.
The board announced that the
contest will be an “honest-to-good
ness” Queen Contest and not just
a bathing beauty competition. The
entrants will be judged on three
main points: (1) appearance, (2)
poise and (3) personality.
The purpose of the contest is to
give the young ranch and farm
girls and other young people an
opportunity to become better ac-
quainted with the principles of
the Farm Bureau organiaztion.
After the County Farm Bureau
Queens are chosen they will com-
pete in district eliminations. One
girl from each district will com-
pete at the state convention for
state beauty crown.
Here are the rules as approved
by a special Queen Contest com-
mittee: To be eligible a girl must
bfe: (1) daughter or sister of a
Farm Bureau member, (2) single,
(3) sixteen years of age by Sept.
1, 1953, and not over 22 on Sept.
1, 1953. Counties must have over
25 Farm Bureau members, and
must sponsor a contest before a
girl from the county can enter the
district eliminations.
Daughters of state directors, em-
ployees, county officers and coun-
ty directors are not eligible to en-
ter this contest.
District winners will receive
beautiful watches and an expense-
paid trip for the girl and attendant
to the state convention. The state
queen and her matron escort will
be allowed $500.00 expenses to at-
tend the national convention.

We wish to acknowledge receipt
Wednesday morning of a letter
from our life-long friend, Floyd
(Stub) Rowlett, at Odessa, in which
he makes a few sordid remarks
about our intestinal fortitude
and some extremely unwarranted
ones about the pulchritudinous
misdeal he refers to as his “good
looks,”
The letter follows:
“My Dear Martin:

to submission by the weaker sex.

► A plane crash at about 9 o’clock
Monday morning approximately 17
miles north of San Antonio, claim-
the lives of four Lockney, Texas,
men included among whom was
Rev. J. R. Naylor, former pastor
of the First Baptist Church in
Archer City. Others were Rhea
Mitchell, 30-year-old farmer, his
brother, Glen Mitchell, 26, and
the latter’s brother-in-law, George
Turner, Jr. Rhea Mitchell was own-
er and pilot of the plane, a single
engine Beechcraft. Mitchell was
a World War II pilot and had
since been employed as a pilot by
Braniff Airways, reportedly fly-
ing the first Braniff passenger
plane into Lubbock when that line
was established.
The four men took off at 7:30
Monday morning from the Plain-
view airport en route to Port Isa-
bel on the Gulf Coast where they
were to join the Mitchell brothers’
parents on a deep sea fishing out
ing. Mitchell had radioed in to
the San Antonio airport for emer-
gency landing instructions shortly
before the plane crashed into the
heavily wooded ranch country
north of San Antonio. The bodies
of all four victims were thrown
between 150 and 200 feet from
the plane. They were only slightly
burned but horribly mangled. The
plane cut a 200-yard swath through
the timber then burst into flames.

plastic surgeon, only a bone spec-

“Honestly, Martin, I believe this
doctor could build your back bone
up to where you could say, *Now
Dell, I am the ruler of the do-
main.’ Further, you might add,
God in His wisdom made man
first—that makes you a pary of the
first part—I survey the realm of
longevity.
“Second—this is Dell—God took
rib and made woman, note He
did not take the back bone—with
this in view, I believe the doctor,
plus plenty of antibiotics, could
build you up to a point where you
could say, ‘Dell, it is TV,’ and I
am thinking of the antenna, the
home of a weary pigeon which is
very artistic in painting. Follow

We are in receipt of a letter
this week from the J. T. Millers,
former Archerites now of Aurora,
Ore., in which letter they state
that a son, Buford, has re-enlisted
the marines. He is now in El
Toro, Calif., waiting to return to
Korea where he had already spent
quite a stretch. The youngest Mill-
er son, Jackie, is an airman, 1-c,
serving in Ta Cha Kami Base in
Japan where he has been one year
this month. Hopes are that the two
boys’ paths may cross in Japan. •
The other Miller son, Truman,
and family live in Oregon.

Archer County To
Receive More Hay
The Archer County Agricultural
Mobilization Committee has been
advised that it is possible to re-
ceive approximately 25 cars of hay
in addition to that hay already on
order, according to Robert Harmel,
chairman. This hay is to be divert-
ed from counties no longer need-
ing it and should be received in
the next three weeks.
Those producers who placed or-
ders after November 7th and any
one else who needs hay should
contact the PMA office in Archer
City immediately.
Mr. Harmel stated that hay* is
being received steadily and that
all hay ordered prior to Novem-
ber 7th should be delivered in the
next two weeks.
Mitchell was attempting to land
the plane, and seeing he couldn’t
do so, tried to climb too fast and
the plane “fell apart.” Visibility
was reported as very poor.
Rev. Naylor, a rabid outdoor
sportsman, served as pastor of the
First Baptist Church in this city
for nearly three years, accepting
the Lockney pastorate in March
of last year when he moved with
his family to that city. Naylor was
very popular here, not only with
members of his own church, but
with people in all walks of life
who knew him. Members of the
local church give him much credit
for the church’s advancement, in-
cluding the new educational build-
ing now nearing completion.
Rev. Naylor, 33 years of age, was
born and reared at Clarendon,
where his parents yet reside.
Funeral services were conducted
at 10 o’clock a. m. in the church
of which he was pastor, with Rev.
B. J. Martin, pastor of the Chil-
dress Baptist Church, officiating.
He was assisted by his father, Rev.
Sid Martin, of Wichita Falls, dis-
trict missionary of this district.
The remains of all four victims
were buried in the Plainview Cem-
etery approximately 200 yards
from the spot from which they
took off on the illfated trip Mon-
day morning.
Archer City friends who attend-
ed final rites included Mr. and
Mrs. S. N. Moore and daughter,
Nancy, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Vestal,
Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Nowlin, and
Mesdames Ross Davis, J. D.
Mounce, Bill Eustace, A. W. Scar-
brough and Joe Fish.
Survivors are the wife and two
children, Rudy, 9, and Janice, 7,
and the parents. Mrs. Naylor’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rhude, were
flown from their home in Virginia
to be present at final rites.

Executive Whiteside of Seymour

young Zack (Wetter) Burkett and
Jimmy Peirce have achieved the
rank of Eagle Scouts, highest rank
in Scoutdom.
Another Scout executive, Jim
Johnson of Wichita Falls, gave
brief description of the forthcom
ing National Boy Scout Jamboree
to be an event oil July in Los An-
geles, Calif., stating that young
Zack has already earned almost
enough money to make the trip
with the thousands of other Scouts
who will attend. Johnson also stat
ed that Scoutmaster John R. Hop-
kins has been selected to go to the
Jamboree as an assistant leader.
A movie of the 1950 Jamboree
