ficers, Fullingim read a pre-
pared statement in which he
said that he had enjoyed the
honors which went with the
position and had appreciated
the full cooperation of every
member of the school board,
but he thought the presidency
should be passed around to
other members.
C. R. Baker was elected by
the board to the office of vice
president, stepping up from his
post as secretary.
Earl Wills was chosen as the
new secretary. Supt. Don L.
Hough was again appointed by

Richard Jones Is
Chosen Texas
Lumberman of Year
Richard Jones was signally
honored by his fellow lumber-
men at the 79th annual cumcu- j
tion of The Lumbermen’s As-'
sociatlon of Texas at Corpus
Christi on Sunday morning,
April 11. He was chosen “Lum-
berman cf the Year.”
In presenting the plaque
Charles Schulze, president, said
that the award seeks to give
recognition and to inspire con-
fidence. It recognizes outstand-
ing performance as a lumber-
man, with due appreciation be-
ing given to accomplishment in
civic and religious matters as
well as other field of business
and social activity.
Jones, son of Mrs. Jones and
the late Buck Jones, was born
in Silsbee, Sept. 29, 1933 and
graduated at A&M in 1955 with
a degree in marketing. He was
commissioned a lieutenant in
the Army and served two years
with the 2nd Armored Division
in Germany. He was discharged
as a captain in the Reserves in
1964.
In September 1957 he came
back to Silsbee and joined the
Buck Jones Lumber Co., where
he became president and man-
ager upon the death of his fa-
ther in 1958. He is a member
of the First Baptist Church of
Silsbee where he teaches Sun-
day School; is a director of Sa-
bine Area Lumber Dealers As-
sociation; chairman of the Na-
tional Federation of Ind. Busi-
ness in that area; a director of
the Chamber of Commerce, Ki-
wanis Club, and The Lumber-
men’s Association of Texas.
the status of the Chance-Loeb
school had been published in
the Silsbee Bee, along with a
statement signed by him on his
thoughts concerning the con-
solidation. He stated that all
the information in the report
had been taken directly from
the audit report of the district
or had been obtained from
Chance - Loeb Superintendent
L. J. Garner.
He told the board that, if the
consolidation were passed in
both districts and the Chance-
Loeb school taxes were equal-
ized with the Silsbee tax sched-
ule, it would cost the Silsbee
district $72,000 to operate the
Chance-Loeb school. This mo-
ney would be the balance, after
all the money due from all
sources had been paid, to bal-
ance the budget.
Supt. Hough added that the
Chance-Loeb budget could not
be appreciably changed for one
or possibly two years due to
contracts now in effect.
In the discussion on consoli-
dation, it was brought out that
tax valuations of the combined
districts would have to be in-
creased $4.6 million to meet the
Chance-Loeb deficit or the tax
rate would have to be increased
by approximately 20 cents,
from $1.65 to $1.85, to furnish
the additional $72,000.
The above tax increase would
give sufficient money for the
combined school district bud-
get, Supt. Hough said. The tax
increase would affect all tax-
payers within the two districts.
Hough pointed out that it would
mean a tax increase of 11 to 13
percent in the present Silsbee
district and a decrease of about
40 percent in the present
Chance-Loeb district.
Supt. Hough read a letter to

Election Contest
Suit Continues
In ttfh Court
Two challenged votes had
been ruled valid and three had
been voided in the 88th District
Court suit contesting the White
Oak Common School District
and the West Hardin School
District consolidation election,
District Clerk W. L. Selman
said at 11 a. m. Wednesday.
The suit, which went to trial
Monday In Kountze, alleges
numerous election irregularities
and claims sufficient ineligible
votes to change the outcome of
the election which was held
Oct. 24, 1964. Of 124 votes cast
in Thicket, 63 were for consoli-
dation, 60 were against, and one
ballot was mutilated. In Sara-
toga the vote was 48 to 3 in fa-
vor of the consolidation.
Application was made Tues-
day for eight additional witnes-
ses to be summoned and there
are quite a number to hear yet,
Selman said.
It is possible that the suit
could continue for the remain-
der of this week, observers

liceman Max Zeller that he was
traveling north on Sixth and

collision occurred. He was not
injured.

prove repair work on a leak in
the library roof. He said that
the roof leak could cause much
damage if not fixed. He was
instructed to have the work
done as scon as possible.
Council decided to attend the
meeting of the Hardin County
Commissioners Court this week
in an attempt to get $800 which
was promised to the city for
fighting fires outside the city
limits. The commissioners set
up $4000 in the county budget
this year to be split evenly
among the five cities in the
county for fire fighting ex-
penses. So far the money has
not been received by the city,
even after writing several let-
ters to the county judge re-
questing the payment.

of the things that happened be-
fore and after the tragic event.)
Silsbee, Texas
April 8, 1905
Dear Editor:
1 am writing this because
there have been so many dif-
ferent stories told about what
happened on the night of April
6, 1965. I want to tell the truth
about just what happened. I
can tell the truth because it
happened in my home at 175
East Ave. C in Silsbee.
I met James French at the
home of a friend about a year
ago. 1 knew that he had just
gotten out of prison but I didn’t
hold it against him. Everyone
deserves another chance. He
started going with another
friend of mine and I saw him
from time to time at her home
and they also visited in /mine
from time to time.
Jimmy was always welcome i he would have to leave soon,
a mv home and he knew it. I guess be knew then that tl
here on Ave. C and gotten my
divorce until the morning of
April 1, 1065 at the place where
I work. I told him then where
I lived and to come by anytime.
I didn’t see him again until the
night of April 6 when he came
to ihy home on Ave. C. It W88
sometime between 8 and 9
p. m. He asked me to get a
baby-sitter so we could go
somewhere. 1 had never been
with him, and not being aware
that anything was wrong, I
said I would. I couldn’t get my
baby-sitter so I asked Jimmy if
he would like to stay awhile. I
made some coffee and wc sat
in the kitchen and talked
awhile while the children (4)
watched TV. All the time we
talked he never gave me any
reason to think there was any-
thing wrong. At 9 I told thei
children it was time to go to
bed. They came in the kitchen
and told Jimmy goodnight, and
went to bed.
I asked Jimmy If he wanted
to move in the living room. He
there was something he wanted
know he was there. He still had
not given me any reason to be-
lieve there was anything wrong.
If I had known, maybe things
would have been different. His
parole officers were at my
house the next day and they
believe he wanted to be caught.
He said he had just come
from Freeport and came to my
house because he remembered
where I said I lived when he
saw me last Thursday and he
felt he would be welcome. He
said, and I quote, “i haven’t felt
this relaxed in a long time. I
really feel that I am welcome
and wanted.” I guess he knew
his firoe was running out and
he wanted to feel these things
I’m glad he felt them in my
home.
Jimmy was sober, and very
kjnd, just as he had always
been any time I was around
him. My neighbors on N. 4th St.
told that my house smelt like a
brewery. I don’t know why
they told this lie; I have never,
crite. I would like to say this;
that no matter what Jimmy
did, if he had lived and had a
chance to repent of his sins,
and had done so God would
have forgiven him just as he
will forgive a liar if they ask
his forgiveness. It is a sin to
lie and in God’s eyes no sin is
greater or smaller than another.
I had many friends drop in
all through the night and each
one that had heard this said
they knew it wasn’t true and
they could never understand
why it’s always the church-
going Christians that say dirty
things like that, and that’s ex-
actly why they don’t go to
church. I want it understood
that I am not condemning the
church or these neighbors of
mine. I really feel sorry for
them because they are suppos-
ed to be witnesses for Christ,
not against Hint.
Jimmy and I were sitting in
the living room talking when
someone knocked on the door.

who he was or what he had

come in anyway so I opened the
door. When I heard the shot I
felt that I had pulled the trig-

just what he said he would. I
have asked myself a million
times, “Would he have killed
himself if. I had not opened the
