Approximately 200 students
from 15 different cities at-
tended the fair.
Brief notes: Speculation
about the eventual use of the
building being vacated by
Perry Bros.’ downtown store
has been widespread, but
rumors have not been con-
firmed...In fact, one person
who might have shed some
light, just smiled and said
“that’s a secret” when asked
about the building during the
week...Next week, perhaps, a
sizeable agricultural operation
may be at the announcement
stage...Pickton’s Postmaster
Frat Davis is excited about the
prospects for getting a new post
office building, now that a
contract has been awar-
ded...Earlier, efforts hit
stumbling blocks and forced
delays...The Rev. William
Chandler, pastor of Church of
the Nazarene, has marked his
third anniversary with the local
congregation. He is currently
serving as president of the
Hopkins County Ministerial
Alliance. He has made many
friends during his tenure in the
community as well as in his
church.
John Henry McClimons and
Marvin Myers Jr. were in
Dallas Monday to attend
funeral services for Mrs.
Grover Mann.
Hopkins County
court records
More notes: Kevin Duck-
worth, nine-year-old son of
Johnny and Jeanine (Ramey)
Duckworth, recently ex-
perienced a thrill that should
stay with him for many
years...The youngster, whose
father is a lieutenant colonel in
the Air Force stationed at Hahn
air base near Frankfurt,
Germany, was selected as a
member of the Sea Hawks
swimming team...The team’s
first off-base competition was
in Berlin and the pool used was
the same one that the 1936
Olympic Games
utilized...Kevin rode the train
through the corridor to Berlin,
where the youngsters were
shown many of the tourist
attractions, including the
Berlin Wall at Checkpoint
Char lie...Kevin has a younger
brother, Matthew, 6...Load
grandparents are Mr. and Mrs.
G. W. Duckworth and Joe
Ramey...Since his formal
retirement several years ago
Lester Teer has remained
pretty active, climbing ladders
to paint his house and doing
other “risk” type en-
deavors...Just recently,
however, he stepped off a low
curb and fractured an ankle
bone.
Last notes: A complimentary
copy of Lion Power, a student
publication prepared by the
Saltillo High School Beta Club,
has reached the desk...The
well-edited mimeographed
publication carried con-
siderable school news. One
story told about Ginger Green
being elected Area VI sergeant-
at-arms in the recent con-
vention at Tyler, while another
recapped the UIL literary
district contest in which the
Saltillo students amassed 160
points to win first
place...Another story listed the
all-district basketball per-
formers Iran Saltillo and other
schools...And the results of a
steer sale in which eight Saltillo
students picked up a con-
siderable amount of money was
highlighted...For the lighter
side, the Lion Power editors
interviewed students on the
question: “What’s a
trustee?”...There were various
answers, many solid and
several amusing...One seventh
grader replied: “A trustee
helps our fire department.”...A
fifth grader wrote: “They do
work such as solving money
problems, school problems,
and the fighting problems.”...A
first grader possibly had the
most revealing response. The
student wrote: “He is kind of
like a monkey and eats vines off
the tree.”
