To Meet On Sept. 18
■ ■ ■
The directors of the Silsbee report on hiring an attendant
Youth Activties Association for the Center will be made by
will meet Monday, Sept. 18, in the committee composed of
Silsbee State Bank at 7:30 p. m.
This is a change in day and
place of meeting.
Routine business will make
up the agenda. New business
will consist of a report on anti-
cipated income and expendi-
tures for the Youth Center. A
Average Pay (heck
Hits New July High
Washington — The average
paycheck posted another high
in July, after a similar perform-
ance in June, but its purchas-
ing power remained below
year-ago levels, the U. S. De-
partment of Labor’s Bureau of
Labor Statistics has reported.
Gross weekly earnings
reached a record $102.14 for
production and nonsupervisory
workers on private nonfarm
payrolls in July. That was $2.30
more than in July 1966, because i_ Dpa„mnni
of higher hourly earnings (up 111 D“dUH*oni
10 cents to a record $2.66). The
average workweek, at S8.4
hours, was down two-thirds of
an hour from a year ago.
Spendable earnings **- gross
pay minus Federal income and
social security taxes — reached
new highs of $83.60 for the av-
erage single worker and $91.10
for the worker with a wife and
two children. In both cases,
after-tax pay was up about
$1.60 since last July.
After adjustment for, Federal
tax deductions and higher pric-
es, the spendable earnings of a
worker with a wife and two
children were down 1.0 percent
from July 1986. Real spendable
earnings have been trailing
year-ago levels for 12 months
in a row.
Despite the reduction in the
average worker’s purchasing
power, total purchasing power
has registered gains in 1967 be-
cause of rising job totals; 702,
000 production and nonsuper-
visory workers were added to
over the year, raising their
number to 45.5 million.
Lester Landgraf, Mrs. Wayne
Du Bose and the chairman, Mrs.

In Accident Monday
Billy Wiggins, 14, of Silsbee, hon was driving toward Sils-
was listed in good condition
Wednesday at Hardin Memorial
Hospital after being injured
Monday in a car-pedestrian ac-
cident west of Silsbee.
Highway Patrolman N. W.
Barrow, who investigated, said
that the boy apparently was at-
tempting to cross the highway
and ran into the side of a car
driven by Mrs. Mable McMahon
of Kountze.
The accident occurred about
4:10 p. m. Monday three miles
west of the Silsbee city limits
on Highway 327. Mrs. McMa-

gap against the Purples.
This week, the Tfgers have
been polishing-rtheir offense
and trying to Improve the de-
fense. McGallion has said that
still needs much work before
entering the tough district bat-
tle.
Given particular attention
the past week has been pass
defense. Huntville managed to
infiltrate Tiger airways for 16
completions last Friday, and
almost had two touchdowns
through the air.
In the offensive backfield, a
first team as such has still not
jelled. With three good quarter-
backs, five fine halfbacks, and
three improving fullbacks, the
Tiger coaches have a surplus
of talent from which to pick.
Getting the nod for probable
starters against Beaumont High
will be center Charles Powell,
guards Winston Gillies and
James Smart, tackles Danny
Almond or Joel Allen and
Chuck Zeller or Carroll Curtis,
ends , Newton Hopkins and
James Malone, quarterback
Gary Bryant, halfbacks Claude
Tarver and Nathan Broussard,
and fullback C. J. McMillin.
Is this the Year of the Tiger?
We’ll know after nine more
bee. She said that she saw the
boy begin to cross the highway
when she was too close to stop.
Mrs. McMahon told the inves-
tigating officer that she swerv-
ed her car to the left and blew
the hom, but the youth still
ran into the side of the vehicle.
■Young Wiggins was rushed to
the Kountze hospital by a Far-
mer Funeral Home ambulance.
He is still in the hospital being
treated for a broken collar
bone, lacerations of the scalp
and an injured knee.
Assisting in the investigation
were deputy sheriffs Billy
Paine and Bennett Haynes.^
In a one-car accident about
7:10 p. m. Sunday, Mrs. Ysidro
Rodriquez of Silsbee was treat-
led at Silsbee Clinic for minor
