PEOPLE
By Mame Roberts
From a small town, HOWE,
to the United Nations, to
Egypt on a big mission, is a
long step, but not too long
for a Howe boy of pioneer
stock of the third generation
of pioneer Texans who were
among the first settlers of
Texas after statehood.
Taking long steps is a ha-
bit with William Wheat (BUI)
Collins, Jr. who was born and
reared in theHowe community
on the Collins homestead
west of Howe, which he now
owns. His steps have been
measured, sometimes slow,
sometimes difficult and some-
times painful. He has always
kept a forward course with
his goal set high. For every
sftep he has slipped back, he
took two steps forward, no
matter what the effort. He
had determination.
As a child he had to travel
over muddy and sometimes
impassible roads to school—
sometimes walking part of
the way. When the weather
was fair, his steps were easier
He kept going forward.
He graduated from Sherman
high school, attended Texas
A. & M. University, North
Texas State University before
entering the service as a Lieu-
tenant in the Navy with ser-
vice in the Pacific. He did
graduate work at Harvard.
His steps did not falter. He
entered government work and
located in Fort Worth. Here
was a period of work, waiting,
planning, hoping and more
work — and more waiting,
with slowed steps for awhile.
Then came a well-earned
appointment as Regional Ad-
ministrator for the Nation^:,
Housing and Finance Agency
with national recognition. He
was sworn into office by Lyn-
don B. Johnson, now president
of the United States.
He married Miss Margaret
Brinkley of Sherman. They
have two children, Ann and
L'll. He is the son of Mrs.
W. W. Collins of Howe and
the late Mr. W. W. Collins.

INSURANCE
Grayson County farmers
probably will set a new high

He said FCIC representa-

a limited time on cotton and
grain sorghum and that in-
mormation on the program is
available at the FCIC district
office in McKinney, Texas.
As 1963 ended, he reported
that approximately 250 farm-
ers of this county were car-
rying nearly a quarter million
dollars total protection.
1963 was a busy crop insur-
ance year in Texas, according
to the state FCIC director.
Ben A. Jordan, Jr., with near-
ly 12,000 farmers protected
f< r over $31 million on their
cotton, wheat and grain
sorghum.

$500 million in crop insurance
was set in 1963—up 30% arid
25 thousand additional farm-
ers from the previous year.
Luft said 13 million United
States acres and twenty dif-
ferent crops are now insured
against production cost lo a
from natural hazards and
that in 1963 some 50,000
farmers received close to $25
million in crop payments, all
of it previously paid in by
farmer policy-holders.

SOCIAL SECURITY
CLAINANTS
Impostors who claim to be
Social Security representa-
tives are operating in the
Grayson-Fannin-Cooke Coun-
ty area, warns Gus Jones,
district manager of the Sher-

Jones said the impostors
are asking money for assist-
ance in getting Social Security
or higher payment rates.
Several persons have alrea-
dy paid the fraudulent repre-
sentatives fees of $19.60 for
promised help, he said.
Jones said real Social Se-
curity representatives ca/ry
identification cards and do not
accept payment from appli-
cants for their services.
Persons who represent
themselves as Social Security

their services should be re-
ported to the police. s
