Texas artists
keeping Bell
pretty busy
Texas artists are keeping South-
western Bell Telephone’s mail room
busier than usual these days.
Requests for entry forms in the
company's Sesquicentennial directory
cover art contest are pouring in from
all over the state
“It started as a trickle, but we’re
now averaging over one hundred
requests a day,” said Gayle Hatchel,
contest coordinator. “As word of the
contest spreads, I’m sure well see
that number increase rapidly ”
The contest is to select artwork for
a special Sesquicentennial cover to be
used on 1986 Texas phone books. The
winning artist will receive $5,000 and
have his or her work featured on
some 158 Southwestern Bell direc-
tories with distribution of almost nine
million copies in Texas.
Deadline for entries is July 1,1985.
“I think it’s a positive sign that
almost 2,000 people have asked for
entry forms,” said Hatchel. ‘We want
to involve as many people as possible
in an exciting Sesquicentennial activ
ity - we're just proud to be a part of
the excitement.”
Requests for contest entry forms
have come from all sections of the
state.
‘They’re coming from professional
artists, weekend painters and from
teachers using the contest as a class
project," said Hatchel. ‘We’ve also
had one request from a prison inmate
- if he wins, it should be quite a
story.”
No actual paintings are to be
submitted, since initial judging will
be done from color slides of the
artwork. An entry from and contest
rules may be obtained by writing to
Art Contest, One Bell Plaza, P O Box
225521, Dallas, Texas 75265.
According to Hatchel, the artwork
should be appropriate to the Sesqui-
centennial, and there is only one
restriction on subject matter.
‘The painting must have a Texas
theme,” she said. “A montage
depicting 150 years of proud Texas
history would be particularly appro-
priate - or it could be a single subject
that’s especially identified with
Texas.”
Any oomplaints from the mail
room?
“None at all,” said Hatchel
“Everyone's happy to be involved in
such a positive project."
Applications are available at the
Chamber of Commerce in Hondo.

Selection is key to success
In 4H as in any phase of
agriculture, whether it be farming or
ranching, selection is the key to
success
In farming, selecting the liest seed
variety is the most important factor
in obtaining the best yield of (he test
quality grain that will bring the best
price
In ranching, producers select
annually for replacement heifers that
have the potential to increase herd
genetics and thus increase pounds of
beef produced for market
411 members with animal projects
also depend on selection to get that
added edge for competition at stock
shows. 4Hers enrolled in livestock
projects learn the importance of
starting with a good quality project
and find tfiat through choosing the
best method of managing and feeding
a project, they can produce winners
Many times 4Hers need help in
making the right choice and this is
where the adult leaders and county
agents come in
This Saturday, May 18, beginning
at 9 a m. at the Medina County
Fairgrounds, adult leaders from
throughout Medina County will
attend an animal selection clinic The
clinic will feature demonstrations on
selection, care, and feeding of
poultry, rabbits, sheep, swine, and
ireef projects
All volunteer 411 leadens and
Ynembers are encouraged to attend
