attending as the identity of the
winner was not known until
disclosure at coronation time.
Announced as runner-up, was
charming Miss Glenda Toth.
Crown bearers were Monica
Patak and Jimmy Kozlovsky.
(See the members of the
court, on Page 5, this issue.)
Fr. Slovacek was profuse in
this praise of the candidates for
their fine support of the schools
through their campaigns.
Prior to the coronation,
carnival prize winners were
announced and this precipitated
much excitement also.
Dancing to the music of The
Country Boys was the lively
entertainment that concluded
Sunday’s phase of the carnival
season.
The ’75 carnival was an ex-
citing weekend affair, with
dances in the evening, and
rides, games, contests and all
entertainment in the afternoons
and also in the evenings.
As always, the “Famous
Dinner” - Sunday mid-day - was
a delightful affair which, ac-
tually, turns out to be a reunion,
with old friends from near and
far getting together for
delicious “home-cooked” type
food in wide variety.
Start to finish the carnival in
the main is families getting
together, for a good time.
Mostly fair and warm this
afternoon through Wednesday.

4-H’ers Discover Breads With American Flavor
C H i C A GO — Authentic
American bread recipes are
difficult to find. Most of the
breads we eat today are based
on Old World recipes brought
to this country by colonists
and handed down from gener-
ation to generation.
But after considerable
research, and with the assis-
tance of Standard Brands In-
corporated, 4-H’ers have man-
aged to come up with two
genuine American breads:
sourdough and Anadama (see
recipe below). They’re fun to
bake and they’re a tribute to
the nation’s cuisine during
the bicentennial celebration.
Fun and learn-by-doing
experiences are what the
national 4-H bread program is
all about. Boys and girls from
9 to 19 acquire practical skills
and gain creative satisfaction
from 4-H bread making activi-
ties. And they can work for
awards donated by Standard-
Brands and arranged by the
National 4-H Service Commit-
tee.
Incentives offered
Standard Brands offers
$800 college scholarships to
six national winners, an
expense-paid trip to the 54th
National 4-H Congress, Nov.
30-Dec. 4 in Chicago, to one
winner from each state, and
up to four medals of honor
per county. All winners are
selected on the basis of their
records of accomplishment
by the Cooperative Extension
Service, which conducts the
4-H youth program.
Bread projects teach
4-H’ers to plan, purchase, pre-
pare and serve breads and
cereals. They also stress the
nutritional importance of
these foods: four daily serv-
ings of v/hole grain or enrich-
ed breads and cereals provide
some of the carbohydrates,
iron, and B vitamins neces-
sary for good health and an
attractive appearance.
4-H’ers share their know-
ledge and skills with others
through demonstrations,
Young persons in the national 4-H bread program sponsored
by Standard Brands Incorporated are discovering that Amer-
ican breads are fun to make, nutritious and appetizing. 4-H
bread making activities are supervised by the Cooperative
Extension Service,
community service meals, the
media, and exhibits at local,
county and state fairs. Addi-
tional information on the na-
tional 4-H bread program is
available from county ex-
tension agents.
Anadama bread
The name Anadama sup-
posedly comes from a New
England fisherman whose
lazy wife, Anna, refused to
bake bread. In exasperation
he mixed up a concoction of
his own. As he stirred and
kneaded his family heard him
muttering “Anna damn her,”
and the bread become known
as Anadama.

McCann was master of
ceremonies and came out toting
a “git-fiddle” but to the
disappointment of his fans
never did strum it, but he
cracked wise real sharply as
he’s fast with the wit and
humor.
Robert Malcolm Sowell,
Hardin-Simmons University
student, son of Mr . and Mrs.
Bob Sowell, gave a heartily
received musical program,
voice and guitar, opening with
“Two Boots to Glory” and
bringing some beautiful
melodies in the course of his
feature. All of his selections
were heartily received and his 1
duet with tiny Tommy Wilson,
probably 5 years old, was a
knockout - “Country Road,”
with Tommy coming on strong
on the chorus especially.
Then the Girls Quartet, from
Tabernacle, sang a beautiful
program, with Mrs. Ella Fern
Sparks as piano accompanist.
The quartet is much in demand
for their programs, especially
in Tabernacle departments.
They sang: “I’ve Got A
Mansion,” a medley of 3 songs
“Why,” “Burdens Are Lifted at
Calvary” and “The Old Rugged
Cross,” and “HeTouched Me.”
The singers are young married
women: Mrs. Gayle Emmert,
Mrs. Bill Cox, Mrs. John
Blassingame and Mrs. Jim
McCann.
All have 2 or three children -
and have to engage baby sitters
when they rehearse.
Haskell Howell of the Board
of Deacons, a department
superintendent, told of serving
on the committee for seeking a
pastor and of their inducing the
Rev. Richard T. Moody of
Marlow, Okla., to come here to
preach with prospect of a call to
the pastorate - and he reminded
that “he has been with us 5
years,” and added that the
committee thought they were
led by God to seek him to serve
here, adding: “I still think so.”
As he called him to the plat-
form, he said:
“Dick, we love you.”
Pastor Moody voiced his deep
appreciation and said that his
wife, “June,” would have loved
to be in attendance but is in a
Young Adults Seminar, at the
Glorieta conference center in
New Mexico. He thanked
Messrs. Gentry and McCann
and all who helped for a fine
affair.
He said that members of the
church ministered to Mr. and
Mrs. Powell and children in a
time of need 2 years ago and
that out of this ministry, their
daughter, Mrs. Joyce
Richardson had been helped to
find the Lord and now she and
her husband, Roland, are
worshiping at Tabernacle.

greetings and well wishes for an
enjoyable celebration.
After the fine repast, Mrs.
Baker, master-of’ceremonies,
told of the deep appreciation for
the splendid assistance of many
with arrangements for the Ce
tennial affair, and introduced
the principal speaker, Mrs.
Ruth Hedrick of Dallas, age
83, who gave a most interesting
address based chiefly along
highlights of Garrett history,
giving countless personal
recollections.
She lived in Garrett many
years and recalled a great
many people, early scenes and
long-ago incidents, and told of
the warmth with which she had
always held them in her heart.
“I love life and I love people
and being with them,“ said Mrs.
Hedrick.

said they were most delightful

EAST LONDON, S. Africa
(AP)— Golfer Issy Udwin may
claim a record. In a wind-swept
tournament here he lost 13
balls for the first 13 holes. Then
at the 14th, a water hole, he lof-
ted straight into the pond.
Another player threw a spare
ball over to him, so he could
play his shot again, but before
Udwin could catch it the wind
shipped it away and it splashed
into the water to bring his tally
for 14 holes to 15 lost balls.

had been “happy all week”

The benediction was brought
by Pastor Moody.
friendships with many, many

teachers- of those days
declaring that she was most
pleased that a number of them
were in Sunday's gathering.
She said, also, that she was
grateful that Garrett has never
lost sight of the importance of
religion for a community and
commented that although some
now worship in nearby chur-
ches, they have never departed
from religious ties.
In the days of yore, at the
economic level Garrett-
business-wise’ has seen some
better days, like when it was a
railroad center, she said, but
the people have gone ahead and
built attractive homes and
made their plans to keep it a
fine community in which to
reside and it is working out very
well.
Mrs. Hedrick emphasized
that Garrett people are held in
esteem and have produced
some outstanding citizens in
various walks of life, statecraft,
education, the arts, business,
science and so on, which, she
explained, speaks well for the
little town. (For a moment, at
her suggestion, the gathering
stood and applauded the
memory of those beloved
citizens who have gone on.)
She commended the com-
munity for the fine and well
attended centennial celebration
and urged the citizenry there
to be of good heart and retain
the progressive spirit to keep it
one of the best small towns
anywhere and maybe, the day
would come for bigger
achievements.
Mrs. H. W. Wilson and
Mrs. Jack Hart, respectively
vocalist and piano accompanist,
gave the concluding beautiful
numbers of the program, a
medley of delightful melodies:
‘Give Me Your Kind and Your
Poor,” “ An American Is a
Lucky Man, ‘The Impossible
Dream‘-and, in conclusion, the
masterpiece, ‘The Battle Hymn
of the Republic.' Mrs. E.E
Harville was announced
recipient of the beautiful quilt
which was given away.
Many lingered awhile to make
their fond farewells of the
delightful Centennial.

A Banker’s Viewpoint,...
Sometimes, in these days, it seems people
have to choose between things to get upset about.
Such is the case of American wheat sales over-
seas.
The thumb-in-the-dike stand of longshoremen
against sales of wheat to Russia is dramatic, but it
seems .to us the dock workers chose the wrong
thing to vent their anger against. After all, the
wheat sales to Russia are commercial sales, for
cash. That’s free enterprise - the principle we’re
supposed to believe in. While the sales may push up
slightly the prices of meat and other foods, they
also will force Russia to release some of its hoard
of gold and will help this country’s balance of
payments.
The sales also will help this country’s wheat
farmers who, to say the least, haven’t always
gotten a fair break at the market place.
The longshoremen would have been better
advised to protest another sale of wheat, one that
has almost completely escaped the attention of
the American people.
This is a sale by the United States government
to Pakistan.
In a deal signed under our Food for Peace
program, this country has agreed to deliver to
Pakistan by June 30, 1976, eleven million bushels
of wheat, on the following terms:
This country, lends the money to Pakistan to
“pay” for the wheat.
Payments on the loan will be deferred for ten
years, during which time Pakistan will pay 2 per
cent interest.
After the ten year grace period, the interest
rate will move up to 3 per cent, but Pakistan will
have another 40 years to repay the loan.
That loan, incidentally, is piled on top of
another made last fiscal year covering 17 million
bushels of wheat shipped to Pakistan.
Somehow, we can’t visualize Pakistanis in the
year 2075 eagerly paying for wheat eaten by their
grandfathers in 1975.
Also, we can’t exactly comprehend the econo-
mics of a loan by the government at 2 per cent
interest when it is paying over 8 per cent to borrow
long term money for its own needs.
In other words, the so-called sale of wheat to
Pakistan is nothing more nor less than a gift.
Perhaps the gift is justified, for the Pakistanis are
a suffering people.
But we think this gift, like many others of its
kind that are made across the globe, would set
better with the American people if labeled as such
rather than being shrouded by a phoney loan at a
phoney rate of interest.
W. B. (Bill) Rider J*.
We believe in this country and its people. Like the
writers of our Constitution, we believe that the strength and
the real intelligence of government originates with the people.
So we urge all our citizens, here and elsewhere, to do our
part-keep up with public issues and send our opinions about
them to our elected representatives.
