A Thought About The
“fleated- Up Economy99
We hear much talk these days about the “heated-
up” economy in the United States. It probably comes
from existing conditions in the labor market of metro-
politan cities like New York, Chicago,Detroit,Dallas,
Houston, Los Angeles, etc.
A simple solution would be for the large indus-
tries to spread their operations to places like Kermit
and Winkler County, Certain phases of the work in
many large industries can be separated from their
main' operations which are centered in the metropoli-
tan areas.
Thousands of fine people would love to move away
from the congested cities, if they could find decent
paying jobs in the smaller communities. They wish
there were some way that they could get away from
the left-wingers, beatniks and other “odd-balls” found
in the metropolitan areas — That class of undesirables
wouldn’t last long in Winkler County.
Defense, aeronautics and many other contracts
are jusually handed out to the larger companies. Uncle
SaJLfin the final analysis, guarantees payment of the
bills) could specify that those companies decentralize
as much of the work as possible to Winkler County
and similar communities that are comprised of sane,
solid-thinking individuals.
HjPerhaps our very fine and capable Governor and
our elected U. S. officials can persuade the “big
shots” among industrialists and U. S. Government
department heads to act along the lines suggested in
the preceding paragraph.
The only “heated-up” economy in WinklerCounty
was that caused temporarily by the explosion of the
Roden No. 1 Wolfe gas well several weeks ago. We
need the permanent “heated-up” economy that the
industrialists of this nation can, if they will, send to
Winkler County to supplement the existing oil and gas
economy. Agriculture is on its way, but it will be
several years before that’will cause a great impact >
on the labor payrolls of this area it has already
created a few jobs.

where he will take over the

Jack Linebery, a long-time
rancher in Winkler County, was
honored this week when the ASC
office in Monahans presented
him with a 15-year pin and cer-
tificate for his work with and
conduct of a long range program
covering the years.
Linebery’s work was in
rangeland productivity, with
soil and water conservation the
theme of his performance rec-
ord. He conducted a three-year
deferred grazing program in the
early 1950s getting a start in
the direction of conservation,
and by May 1, 1967, will have
completed a total of 16 years
service for the betterment of
his community.
An extensive rancher, Line-
bery believes that Winkler
County can benefit and profit
through grassland improve-
ment, such as the long-range
program conducted by J. D.
Amburgey in the east portion
of Winkler County, “by doing
all we can to conserve and add
to our water reserves, and by
not overloading and overstock-
ing the range which is avail-
able to us today.’’
“Brush control is a must
for the productivity of the range,
and working with Conserva-
tionists C. W. Cox and Ervin
Blum, and technician Virgil
Herrington, who manage the
ASC office in Monahans, the
ASC program has helped many
an area rancher,” according to
Mrs. Sybil Burch, office man-
ager of the ASC who “hopes
eventually to see an expansion
program include more row
crops.”
Linebery is of the opinion,
“the time is coming when we
are going to have to produce
more of what we consume, in
order to meet the on-coming
population rise; being an old-
time rancher, I’m naturally
sticking to the rangeland im-
provement program for
part.”

economy has been recognized
as a means of building our com-
munity,” according to Bill
Jones, Chamber of Commerce
president, “and we are glad to
see such interest expressed in
our area, to broaden research
on what can be produced from
the soil profitably, without re-
sulting in any lessening of pro-
ductivity from the ranchers.
There is a lot of idle land that
can be put to productive uses,
and I am glad to see interest
prevail in this direction.”
Texas Tech has long been in-
terested in developing and im-
proving the Southwest Texas
area, and at one time conduct-
ed a Winkler County research
program. The county has of-
fered Texas Tech a location at
Winkler County Airport for re-
search projects and stresses
the importance of having Texas
Tech interested in the field of
such research development
which enhances the approaching
creation of a “Center for Arid
Land Study,” the only one of its
kind in the world.
In conjunction with the inau-
guration of a new president at
Texas Tech Nov. 1, the first
Arid Land Symposium will be
conducted there, Oct. 30 and 31.
Two U. S. Cabinet members
are scheduled to participate
which should add interest to the

a better economy for the entire
Southwest area.

The Kermit Yellow Jackets
used two long gainers and the
pin-point passing of Lanny Bak-
er to throttle the Snyder Tigers
21-7 at Walton Field Friday
night.
The Jackets started out in
the first quarter, cold as the
nippy night. Snyder took the
opening kickoff, and, before
Kermit could get its defense
organized, rolled to the Jacket
38. However, a penalty against
the Tigers shoved them back to
the 43.

Supervisors
To Be Elected
The Upper Pecos Soil and
Water Conservation District
will hold its annual election of
landowner supervisors Oct. 8,
at Mentone. This will be an
election for subdivision number
three of the district. The pres-
ent supervisor Of this district
is Jimmy Cooksey of Orla.
The initial work was started
on the creation of the Upper
Pecos Soil Conservation Dis-
trict in 1942. A petition was
circulated among landowners
of Ward, Winkler, Reeves, Lov-
ing and the northern part of
Pecos Counties.
The petition was presented
to and accepted by the Texas
State Soil Conservation Board
and the district was organized.
A board of local landowners
were elected to serve as the
SWCD supervisors and to work
up a district program. The dis-
trict asked the Soil Conserva-
tion Service for their assistance
in carrying out the program and
plan. This program is in action
working to overcome the con-
servation problems in the dis-
trict.
The present board of elected
landowner supervisors are:
James B. Allgood, Barstow;
Truman Grove, Imperial; F. A.
Schluter, Pecos; Larry Fernan-
des, Kermit; and Jimmy Cook-
sey, Orla.
onto a Tiger pass to give the
Jackets possession on their own
16. Four plays later Baker’s
fumble was pounced on by the
Tigers’ Joe Breeden on the 26.
Nine tough plays later Snyder
had its first and only score.
Quarterback Murry Bowden
sneaked over from the one to
give the Tigers a 6-0 lead.
Frankie Grimmett kicked the
point and it Was 7*0.
Kermit got on the scoreboard
in the second period and did it
in an electrifying manner. The
Jackets took over on downs on
their own 36 and punched out
to the 46.
Baker then ramrhed into the
center, found nothing there and
rolled out to his right, found
running room and rambled 54
yards to the touchdown. Billy
Thompson slid over the goal
line for the two extra points and
Kermit had an 8-7 lead they
never relinquished.
Thompson gave the chilled
crowd another thrill midway of
the third, period. Kermit had
taken possession on its own 10
following a Tiger punt. Baker
picked up three to the 13. Then
Thompson ran to his right, got
two good blocks and outran the
Tiger defenders to the goal.
Carroll Samuels, pint-sized
halfback, was running right be-
hind Thompson all the way but
didn’t have to throw a block.
Ronnie Burrows added the point
on a kick and the Jackets had a
15-7 lead.
Baker was the big gun in the
last score. He intercepted a
Tiger toss, his first of two he
picked off, and the Jackets were
in business on the. Snyder 24.
Carroll Samuels ran to the 20,
then Baker fired a perfect pass
to wingback Henry Bounds for
the tally. Burrows’ kick was
wide and the scoring was over
for the night.
The Tigers started a late
drive which carried to the Jack-
et 35, but Baker picked off a
Bowden pass at the Kermit 15
to end the threat.
The Jacket pass protection
was superb with Baker having
all the time he needed to throw
the ball. He completed eight of
13 attempts and had a sure
touchdown pass dropped. An-
other shot to Joe Scott, who
was behind theSnyder defender,
was barely deflected at the last
moment.
The Jackets, after the slow
start, settled down and played a
steady game. Snyder never seri-
ously threatened after their only
touchdown and the Tigers did
not complete a pass.

ered on the School Board agen-
da, Tuesday night, withthefirst
