Four From Kermit
Leave For Camp
Four Kermit youths left last
week for Camp Hoblitzeele,
Midlothian, for a week of sum-
mer camping as guests of the Sal-
vation Army, it was announced
by O. M. Stewart, camp chairman
of the Kermit unit.
The boys are Tommy Miller,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
C. Miller, 111 South Spruce;
Tommy Solomon, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Bernice Solomon, 1213 West
Austin; Allen Bryson, son of
Mrs. Mattie Bryson, 119 Maple;
and Eddie Martinez, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Abel Martinez, 619
Sycamore Street.
Camp Hoblitzelle, about 40
miles southeast of Dallas, is a
Salvation Army sponsored camp
at which selected youths are
guests for summer camping,
swimming, athletics, handicraft,
and other summer camp activi-
ties.
The camp features a large
lake for water skiing, fishing and
boating, a swimming pool, a gym-
nasium, and well-equipped play-
grounds and recreation areas.
Organized sports and activities
are under the supervision of ex-
perienced coaches and counsel-
ors.
. Campers will be housed in at-
tractive brick and redwood cab-
ins. Expert cooks and kitchen
personnel will prepare balanced,
nutritious meals, designed for
the needs of growing youngsters,
which will be served in the camp’s
own dining room.
Camp Hoblitzelle has been
made possible through the gen-
erous gifts of more than 100
men and women of Texas. Their
gifts provided money for the pur-
chase of the land, buildings and
improvements on the property.
The Salvation Army operates the
camp for the benefit of youths
who, without the help of the Sal-
vation Army, would not have the
opportunity to enjoy camp life.

and, another thing is, many,
many of you know, love and re-
member the man pictured up
here. His footprints will always
remain in Kermit and Winkler
County.
Receiving this picture and the
story is really a chain of
memories.
% The clipping and picture were
sent to Dr. Rose Robinson by
Wylodean Neely, also a long-to-
be remembered Kermitian. Her
late husband, Steve Neely, was a
leader in many affairs and Wy.
lodean did right well herself.
Haven’t heard from her (she
was always a favorite) in years
and years.
Clyde Barton completed-the
chain. He was thoughtful enough
to know many of you will enjoy
remembering.
. Wylodean’s address is 2119
Ridgeway St., Huntsville, Ala.
She must be teaching school since
she wrote Rose, “Next week
school closes and I can hardly
wait to get out of the classroom.”
Eisenwine’s story appeared in
a newspaper which seems to
have been printed in Wylodean’s
hometown. Jake is living in New
Hope, Ala., only a short distance
from Huntsville.
Here’s the latest about him,
NEW HOPE — Almost any
weekday after 8 a.m. you can
walk in the feed store on the
main street of New. Hope . and
find a fellow with gray- black
strands of hair covering his
bald pate sitting and . counting
money and writing court sum-
mons.
The man is J. W. Eisen-
wine, New Hope’s city record-
er, clerk and treasurer.
He’s been clerk since 1958
and he has served as record-
er since 1957.
But 1957 was not the first
time Eisenwine dabbled in gov-
ernmental affairs. Before
coming to New Hope with his
wife about 1955, he served as
County Clerk for Winkler Coun-
ty, Texas, for 25 years. While
serving as the Texas County’s
clerk, he lived in Kermit, the
county seat of Winkler County.
How did a Texas politician
end up in New Hope, Ala-
bama?
★ ★ ★
He married a part of the
town. Eisenwine married
Gertrude Dilworth in 1949
and came to Madison County.
For a few years he tried
farming, but the old govern-
mental urge got in his blood
and before he knew it, he
was the town clerk.
The first Thursday of every
month, Eisenwine; holds re-
corder’s court. Most of the
work, he says, involves traffic
violators. And not many of
them are over $50 he said.
Back in Texas, his job as
county clerk corresponded to
that of a Probate Judge in
Alabama, he said. A lot of his
work and granting marriage
licences to people and filing
papers.
Eisenwine said there weren’t
many strange marriages when
he was issuing licences.
“Most folks get married for
about the same purpose,”
Eisenwine said. Then he
laughed.
Most of the time he sits
behind the linoleum topped
table on the left hand side
of the feed store. He smiles
an amiable grin.
You can tell* Eisenwine is a
Texan of the old Gary Cooper
variety.
He answers almost all ques-
tions with “yep” and “nope.”
Getting him to say very much
more is harder than it sounds.
But silence must be a virtue
when it comes to being a town
clerk. Otherwise, why would
Eisenwine keep getting re-ap-
pointed to the job?
No need to be feeling sorry
for Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Carr
. . . they’re as near heaven as
one can get on this earth.
They’ve moved (for the sum-
mer) to Hope, Ark.'(seems Arkan-
sas is all over this week), to their
farm and big farm house.
No one lives in the house, ex-
cept when the Carrs go there.
It’s a big rambling house, com-
fortable and an ideal summer
home.
Carr says he doesn’t have any
cattle or anything on the acreage
. . . all he wants is red bugs aftd
ticks ... and they’re plentiful.
The dam to a big lake is
less than a mile from their
home.. . . a , lake famous for
big black bass and other fish-
ing goodies. Fishing holes are
closer home.
