Plan Pow-Wow
21 For Sept. 26
The Lumberton Raiders won I September’s general mem-
their first home game of the bership meeting of the Silsbee
year us they beat the West Har-
din Oilers 8 to 0. The win even-
ed up the Raiders won-lost rec-
ord to 1-1 and the Oilers 0-2.
The Raiders drove down to
the Oiler one yard line four
times, but managed to score
from there only once. They
fumbled twice and ran out of
downs the other three times.
Tailback Donald Foreman
ran nine yards around right end
for the only touchdown of the
game in the third quarter. The
PAT was wide. Late in the third
quarter after a fumble by the
Raiders on the Oiler one yard
line, the Oilers took over. On
the next play Ronnie Hartman
burst through and tackled an
Oiler ball carrier in the end
zone to add two more points to
the Raiders’ score. The defense
looked good as they kept West
Hardin from mounting any
serious scoring threat.
Home game tickets may be
purchased in the principal’s of-
fice from Thursday morning
until Friday noon during regu-
lar school hours.

Chamber of Commerce was
held Tuesday in the Silsbee
State Bank with President Jack
Hedge presiding, C h a m ber
Manager Art Cawthon an-
nounced.
Committee chairman Horace
Whittington turned in $180.00
collected toward purchase of
more across-the-street Christ-
mas decorations. The drive will
continue in order to replace all
the faded, worn out decora-
tions, he said.
Roy Baker announced a
Chamber sponsored carnival to
be here during Homecoming
Week. The carnival will be lo-
cated west of the annual bon-
fire site in Santa Fe Park.
Jimmy Jeffrey discussed need
for an additional business holi-
day for Silsbee to be during
the first six months of the year
when no holiday is taken.
“Since no other honor is given
to our war heroes and those
w'ho have given their lives for
their country, a motion was
carried unanimously to use
Memorial Day for this purpose.
The Chamber along with banks,
utility offices and others will
urged all businesses to join
hands in this observance,” Caw-
thon explained.
The Chamber will participate
in the Homecoming Parade by
donating $50 to be used in float
building.
Roger Ratliff, brochure com-
mittee chairman, sent in a re-
port which was discussed by
President Hedge. The brochure
is almost ready for the printers
with all texts written and all
pictures on hand except that
two pictures may be retaken to
provide better appearance.
President Hedge discussed
the Chamber’s financial condi-
tion and stated that Member-
ship Chairman Jerry Jones
plans a final drive to secure
memberships from those not
participating which could re-
sult in a balanced budget.
President Hedge presented
a proposed Constitutional
Amendment that would cause
the Nominating Committee to
present five names for election
of five new directors each year.
The Three Rivers Council,
Boy Scouts of America will
present two big events on Oct.
16, 1971. H. Dale Thompson of
Orange is the chairman for the
Cub leaders Pow-Wow and El-
mer Broyles of Nederland is
chairman for the Roy Scout
leaders Show-and-do. Both of
these special events will be held
at Lamar University.
Every Cub Pack and Scout
Troop in the Three Rivers
Council should plan to have
its leaders present at one of
these events, Saturday, Oct. 16,
1971. Registration for those who
don’t pre-register will begin at
9 a. m. for both events.
The Pow-Wow is an ideas or
how to do it conference for
Cubbers. There will be sections
on games, crafts, skits, cere
monies, webelos and pack ad-
ministration. Each section is a
“DO” section. In addition, there
will be exhibits of various
packs, accomplishments in the
respective fields of Cubbing so
that adults from other packs
can get ideas to use in their
own Cub work. A Blue and
Gold Banquet will be held at 12
noon for each adult to partici-
pate in. A special program is
planned for the banquet.
The Show-an-do is a day of
Boy Scouting activity built
around a patrol of adults from
each troop. Through the activity
program, the leaders will have
fun, learn basic Scouting skills,
but perhaps most important,
knit themselves into a close
working team. The Show-an-do
will provide an excellent intro-
duction to Scouting for the dad
of the new boy.
Provisions are made for adding
an additional name to the bal-
lot by petition of qualified
Chamber members. The amend-
ment was adopted by unani-
mous vote on motion made by
Dr. H. E. Munden and second
by Richard Jones.
President Hedge announced
appointment of an Industrial
Committee composed of Roy
Baker, chairman, Val Hickman,
Ross lies, Robert Neyland and
Jack Hedge. The directors ap-
proved these appointments.

County Tax Assessor-Collec-
tor Fred Anders, who had pre-
sented the CCS bid at a Mon-
day meeting and recommended
its passage Thursday, explained
that it was his opinion that the
Marks plan did not offer such
a comprehensive list of reports
as did CCS, and that CCS’ flat
rate provided for issuance of
voter registration lists when-
ever needed, while other plans
charged separately for each list
supplied.
Texas counties will now be
required to keep up-to-date
voter registration lists because
of year-round registration.
Barrington cast the only neg-
ative vote, and commented,
“We just got rigged out of a
nice sum of money.” He refus-
ed to sign the contract and
claimed that the action was il-
legal because the bid involved
more than $300 and had not
been advertised in newspapers.
“Anybody who signed that has
violated the law,” he said.
Anders answered, “Mr. Bar-
rington, it makes no difference
to me whether you vote for it
or against it or not. If you think
it’s illegal, we can go up to
District Court, get on the stand,
and see who’s right.”
“I wish you all would quit
acting like children,” County
Judge Emmett Lack replied.
“Ain't it so;” Anders answer-
ed.
Then Kerr moved 1 hat the
monies in the General Road
and Bridge Fund (some $62,-
000, according to Moye) as well
as each precinct’s Road and
Bridge funds be consolidated
and divided equally between
the four precincts. Kerr ap-
parently made that motion to
allow all precincts, especially
his and Means’, to start work
in their new areas on the same
financial footing. Both Kerr
and Means are now responsible
for much larger precincts than
they were before the redistrict-
ing plan went into effect this
month.
Caraway seconded the mo-
tion and it passed with Bar-
rington opposing. “I really got
rigged that time,” Barrington
said.
Then Means discussed a plan
that he and Moye had talked
about to give Commissioners
office space in the Courthouse.
“I feel like the new people in
my precinct need a place to get
hold of me without having to
call." Means. Caraway, Judge
Lack and Kerr seemed agree-
able to the plan, and Barrington
was asked what he thought of
it.
“I don't give a dang if you
move the courthouse down on
the creek! You all haven’t con-
sidered me yet today, so don’t
ask me about that,” Barrington
said.
At the outset of the meeting,
Bryan Beck, Beaumont apprais-
er, had met with the Court at
their request to discuss the
possibility of replacing Pritch-
ard and Abbott as county tax
appraisers. Commissioners in-
dicated that they were especial-
ly interested in reappraisals of
oil company properties in the
County, because of losses in oil
company value projected for
the coming tax year.
County Attorney Dwayne
Overstreet suggested that the
Court needed a five-year study
of oil valuation losses. “We
should not ask anyone to study
our problem unless the Court is
actually contemplating a
change (from Pritchard and
Abbott)", Overstreet said, and
added, “This Court needs to
pay close attention to this mat-
ter, and if it sees fit to discuss
fhc matter, so inform Mr. Beck
or any other individual or firm
that might be under considera-
tion.
Court agreed to table the
matter for further study.
