Unit Starts On
Eighth Year

By Owen W. Hooten
Company “C”, 147th Armored
Infantry Battalion is now in its
eighth year of operation in Coop-
er. The local unit was first or-
ganized in late December of 1949.
Since its beginning, the Com-
pany has seen many changes in
personnel as well as world af-
fairs which have directly affect-
ed its training program.
The Company’s first Command-
ing Officer was Wren H. Hart,
with Opal Preas as Unit Admin-
istrator. Other officers in the
first Company’s organization
were Boyce Bailey, Jack Dunlap,
Gene Leslie, Robert N. Stovall,
and Tommy Tomlinson. There
were approximately 100 enlisted
members in the first Unit. Al-
though none of these officers
are now with this unit, many of
the original members are still
participating in the Guard.
During the Company’s first
year, the Korean Conflict erupted
causing a stepped-up training
program for all Guard and Re-
serve units. Also as a result of
the conflict, there was much
speculation that the local unit
would leave for Korea from its
first summer camp at Fort Hood.
Since its orgainization, Com-
pany “C” has attended eight
summer encampments, all being
at North Fort Hood, Texas with
the exception of one, when the
1951.
The purpose of the National
Guard is to maintain a ready re-
serve of men who are trained in
the latest methods of modern
warfare. In this way it is pos-
sible to have a strong stand-by
reserve which can be called into
immediate action in case of any
This is going to be an election
year ... a fact which many of
our area citizens have forgotten.
They must have, because they
aren’t paying their poll taxes in
large enough numbers to indicate
interest in voting in the coming
elections.
Let’s all pay our poll taxes this
month so that we may express
our opinions at the polls. That
is really the best way for us to
have a government “by the peo-
ple.”
If you don’t help to elect the
right type of men to hold offices,
then you have no kick coming
when the wrong men start run-
ning our governments.
t ♦ t
There’s one man who lives in
Cooper and takes an active in-
terest in almost every type of
sporting event although he has
no children of school age.
You can hardly attend a foot-'
ball, basketball or baseball game
without seeing John Whitaker.
He makes ’em all that are held
in Cooper and lot that are hel in
other towns.
If this writer was going to pick
out an ideal sports fan, Whitaker
would be among the top contend-
ers. His conduct at these sporting
©vents has never been anything
but the best, and yet, he has all
the spirit that the game affords
for spectators.
Hats off to you, Mr. Whitaker,
for your interest in the athletic
events of our young people. This
writer feels that more of us could
follow your example which
would be beneficial to us and the
young people as well.
t t t military uprising.
Mayor Bolger’s pica for citi-, ------------
zens not to call the City Hall for
ten minutes after a fire alarm is
certainly a good one.
This writer is of the opin
that we do not cooperate with our
fire department enough.
Just by way of explanation
here are a few thoughts on the
subject:
Very little if any fire fighting
clothes are furnished our fire de-
partment members for their pro-
tection and comfort.
We drive our cars anywhere
and in any way when a fire
alarm is sounding, making it dan
gerous and slow for the firemen
to get to the scene of the fire.
There are possibly other fat
tors that the firemen could e-
numeratethat would aid them in
their fire-fighting work^ Lets
do what is needed to aid these
men, rather than making their
job harder.
t ♦ t
The $800,000 which has been
included in the budget for the
Cooper Dam this year is evidence
enough that we now have our
foot in the door.
A contract is due to be let in
the amount of approximately
$650,000 in April for the Coope
Dam project. This amount of
money being spent in our back-
yard Ts bound to bring people to

Congratulations to Bennie Da-
Captain Harry Hutchison, com-
manding officer, Texas Highway
Patrol, released the rural traffic
accident summary for Delta
County for the month of Decem-
ber.
The Highway Patrol investiga-
ted a total of 2 accidents with
the following breakdown:
Two wrecks had property dam-
age, no personal injury and no
fatal accidents. These accidents
caused a total property damage
of $875.00 with no persons in-
jured and none killed.
Captain Hutchison asked the
i motoring public to adopt a New
Year’s resolution for a year of
safe driving. He pointed out that
over 2000 persons lost their lives
on Texas highways last year as
a result of negligent driving and
failure to obey rules and regula-
tions.

Francis Garrison
Funeral Services
Held Saturday
The funeral of A/lc Francis M.
Garrison, 37, son of Mrs. W. W.

urday afternoon, January 11, at
4 o’clock in the Cooper Church

An expected large number of
farmers were waiting at the Del-
ta ASC office Monday morning
to begin sharing in the 1958 Soil
Bank program.
There were some 60 farmers in
their cars waiting for the em-
ployees to open the ASC office
when they arrived at 7 am.
There were some 262 individual
farmers who had signed agree-
ments by mid-afternoon Tuesday.
This number could indicate a
greater number of farms, because
many of the farmers were signing
for more than one farm.
General opinion of most of the
farmers is to put as much acre-
age as possible in the soil bank
program. Last year there were
only 297 farms in the soil bank
in Delta County. This year the
total number of farms could
easily double this figure. Last
| year the average price paid per
acre was $38 while this year the
average will be approximately
$41 per acre.
The reason for the rush busi-
ness at the ASC office was the
funds for the program are alloted
state-wide on a first come, first
serve basis. Registration repre-
sented the order in which the
farmers will sign agreements.
Each farmer may receive a limit
of $3,000 per farm from the soil
bank program. Deadline on sign-
ing agreements is March 7 or un-
til state funds are exhausted.
Roy Matthias, Red River Val-
ley Association executive direct-
or, was in Cooper Wednesday
attending a meeting of the Sul-
phur Water District which is
compose of Cooper, Commerce
an Sulphur Springs representa-
tives.
Matthias was optimistic in his
report on the progress in the lat-
est developments of securing
construction funds for the Coop-
er Dam and Reservoir. He stated
that temporary delays last De-
cember have now been lifted and
that now the Cooper Dam and
Reservoir listed at the top of
the list for flood control projects
in the Red River basin.

Pallbearers for the services
In peace times, when no one
wants to maintain a large army,
the Guard plays a special part
in the security of our Country.
With a strong guard in reserve,
members may hold down civilian
jobs and receive military train-
ing as well. The Guard also has
another role — as an arbitrator
of domestic disturbances. The re-
cent Little Rock incident is a ^ were Morris Vaughn, W. B. Gun-

may be called out to control mob jQe creggt and Harold West,
action which can develop from
racial problems, etc. The Guard |
is also available for service ini
cases of floods, tornadoes, etc.
The present Company is head-
ed by Billy Gene McDonald as
Company Commander with three
additional officers. They are O-
wen W Hooten, Lester F. Stark-
ey, and Robert P. Woodby. The
Unit Administrator is Peyton
Glaspie. There are approximate-
ly sixty enlisted men now in the
Company.
Members of the Guard receive
pay checks quarterly (every
three months), with the total
payroll each quarter averaging
approximately $4,000.00 for a i
total of $16,000.00 each year. Al-
though each person's check is
relatively small compared to
their checks from civilian jobs
the total means quite a boost to
the business of Delta County.
Persons between 17 thru 35 are
eligible to become members of
this unit and anyone interested
should contact Sgt. Glaspie at
any time at his office in the Na-
tional Guard Armory. Seniors in
High School are especially urged
to contact Glaspie and find out |
just what the many advantages
are that the National Guard has
to offer.

story about the highlights and
history of the Cooper National
Guard Unit was written by Owen

unit and his civilian occupation

in order to avoid a penalty which
will go into effect on that date.
A very small percentage of the

order that they might participate
in the coming elections.

Emerson Variety
Store Opening
Set For Saturday
Mrs. Roy Emerson has an-
nounced the formal opening of
her variety store for Saturday,
January 18.
The new store is located direct-
ly west of the former Emerson’s
Dry Goods store. With the ad-
dition of the variety store, both
will be known in the future as
Emersons.
Two large archways between
the two buildings have been
made and the variety store has
been completely remodeled and
redecorated with new light fix-
tures installed. All new mer-
chandise has been ordered and
put in the variety store stock in
preparation for the opening day.
A Chatham Blanket will be
given away at the Emerson vari-
ety store Saturday afternoon at
4:30. Registering will last until
the time of the drawing.
Manager of the variety store
department will be Miss Verda
Wright, who was formerly as-
sistant manager of the Perry
Bros, store here.
The new store which has been
added to Emersons is 24 x 70
feet and has an area in the rear
for office and storage space.
“I believe Cooper is a good
town and will continue to be for
a long time,” said Mrs. Emerson,
“and I am happy to enlarge our
store for the shopping conven-
ience and economy of our cus-
tomers,” she continued.
She added that a full line of
drygoods and soft line goods will
be carried in the corner building
which she has occupied for sev-
eral years in addition to the new
notions and variety stock in the
new building.
