FROM THE FRONT
City Council Meets
Mays presented the name of Theole-
ous Wilson; Cunningham nominated
Steve Fisher; Watkins nominated
Carolyn Graves; Scott named Steve
Blevins; Morgan did not submit a
name. No action was taken and no
further discussion took place.
Bids were opened for a tractor to
be used in mowing the park, vacant
lots. etc. Four persons submitted a
total seven tractors they wished to
sell, the prices ranging from $2500 to
$5250. Cunningham presented a mo-
tion that the Mayor and city foreman
look at the tractgors and report back
to the Council with their recom-
mendation.
In other action, the Council ap-
proved the renew al of a contract w ith
the Delinquent Tax Attorney; re-
viewed the audit reports distributed
by Jim Ainsworth, city auditor, and
requested additional work sessions
on reading the reports.
The issue of the Cooper Police
Department was again on the meet-
ing agenda, and after a lengthy
discussion. Mayor Huie said "This
has been discussed many times ...
we are getting nowhere.” It was
suggested that the Mayor meet with
the County Judge and Sheriff to set
up an informal session to work out an
agreement. May Huie concluded
"The county is obligated to give the
city protection...”
A request from the Delta County
Emergency Medical Service for mon-
etary assistance was presented. A
motion bv Mays for a contribution of
$1000 died for lack of a second,
however a motion by Morgan for a
contribution of $500. in return for a
pledge of continued services, was
approved unanimously.
Other items discussed but no
action taken included repairs to the
water treatment plant house; repair
of fire plugs, council minutes. The
Council did approve payment of
Maloy Landfill bill; accounts payable
with the exception of an insurance
statement; an ordinance designating
that 4-Way Stop Signs be placed at
the intersection of S.W. 10th and
West Tyler Strets; repairs to the city
warehouse roof; payment of persons
who recounted the votes of the
recent election; move the next Coun-
cil meeting from May 2 to May 28,
and from city hall to the TP&L
building.
Mrs. Peters Retiring-
den of Glory. She has one sister.
Belle Hargroves.
She and her husband Thomas
(Tookie) Peters reside east of Cooper
on SH19 and are engaged in ranch-
ing both in Delta and Lamar coun-
ties. Peters retired from Babcock and
Wilcox in 1983 after thirty years.
They are members of the Cooper
Church of Christ.
In an interview , Mrs. Peters stat-
ed, “I am happy to have had the
opportunity to work with children.
The Tri-County Co-op and Cooper
1SD have been very supportive.
Working as a school team member
CHS Golfers Win
under pressure situations.' Floyd
mentioned. “His consistent rounds
qualified him for a fourth-place
finish in individual standings and a
position with Brad Floyd on the
All-State Team.”
Perhaps the biggest surprise of
the tournament (for everyone except
Coach Davis Floyd) was the brilliant
last round 79 score of Malone Oats,
which was his best of the season. "1
had felt all along that he had his
potential.” “He came through when
we needed him -• at the State
tournament. That is the mark of a
champion.”
Kevin Boles, whose powerful
drives off the tee got him in some
trouble on the first day, shot two
rounds in the 80's for a total of 177 in
the tournament. “Most 2A teams do
not have a fourth or fifth man like
Boles who can be depended on to
turn in a respectable score. His
scores in the 70's and 80's during
season play contributed to the Bull-
dogs' success. Many of the coaches
in our classification were surprised
at our depth; we could expect good
rounds from all our players.”
Joel Carrington and Heath Ander-
son rounded out the Cooper State
Championship team. Anderson s
scores at the State Tournament of 91
and 99-190 were not carded in the
final team score. Carrington, junior
member of the squad, helped to
qualify the team for the Regional
competition and turned in some good
scores during the season. He will be
returning as a team member next
year.
Brad Floyd also finished as Third
Medalist in State his freshman year.
He was Second Medalist in Region
his freshman and junior years.

have already set a prime example for
all of the employees of United,"
Gibson said.

with other teachers, aides, parents
and the community, has benefited
many children who needed extra
help.
When asked what she liked most
about teaching. Mrs. Peters replied,
“When a child doesn’t understand a
concept, I enjoy developing mater-
ials for him so he feels like he's
playing a game to learn. The least
enjoyed in teaching is the paper work
and discipline.” She also said she
feels that “the State is implementing
too many new rules at one time, and
this is causing pupil, teacher, admin-
istrators, board members and every
home to feel pressured.”
PJC Searches for Camp Maxey Memorabila
Aikin Regional Archives at Paris
Junior College is searching for mem-
orabilia which reflects the history of
Camp Maxey, said Daisy Harvill,
archivist. Camp Maxey, a great army
training establishment north of Paris
in 1942-1945. was a prominent part
of both the economic and social life
of Paris during those years, Ms.
Harvill explained.
"The archives has very little Camp
Maxey material and would be in-
terested especially in photographs of
the camp, camp activities and per-
sonnel. including camp-related act-
ivies in the city,” the archivist said.
Donors may give photographs to the
archives or may loan them for
copying, and the originals will be
returned to the owners.
The archives is seeking Camp
Maxey-related papers of any kind:
brochures, circulars, maps, prog-
rams, badges, tickets, scrapbooks
and memory books kept by the
public, clippings, and even personal
correspondence concerning camp
activities of Paris wartime activities,
Ms. Harvill said.
Manuscript materials donated to
the archives will become a perman-
ent part of the collection at Paris
Junior College. They will be preserv-
ed by standard archival procedures
and will remain in the archives.
However, they will be available to
the public for viewing or research
purposes.
Persons with materials should call
or write Ms. Harvill, Aikin Regional
Archives, Paris Junior College, Par-
is. Texas. 75460. (214) 784-9411, or
bring their materials to the archives.
Established in 1977, the regional
archives serves as a repository for
historic institutional records and for
local history manuscript collections
from the countie* nf Delta. Fannin.
Lamar and Red River. The archives
also is a depository for the local
records division of the Texas State
Library and houses historic county
records which have been transferred
to the state library from the four-
county area.
The Hcmerocallis. better know n as
the Day lilies has come a long way
from Grand Mother's garden when
there were only two basic colors,
orange and yellow. Even some far-
mers thought of the Day Lily as a
weed and certainly a nuisance.
The hardy herbaceous plants
which grow from 12 inches to three
to four feet high, having long,
strap-shaped leaves and in summer
bear lily-like flowers chiefly of
orange, yellow and mahogany
shades. The individual flowers arc
short-lived but they are borne over a
period of several weeks. They belong
to the Lily family, Liliaceae. Hemero-
callis is found wild in Japan, and
other eastern countries, and south-
ern Europe, some kinds are naturali-
zed in eastern North America. The
word is derived from hemera, a day
and kallos, beauty, an allusion to
theshort life of the bloom. The
Day lily whose bloom last for only a
day, but the many buds on a scape
provide a long season of bloom. They
are of easiest culture, multiply free-
ly. are permanent, and apparently
are not palatable to insects. If one
studies the blooming dates of variet-
ies, a garden of day lilies can be built
that will bloom from June to Septem-
ber. Move your Davlilies any time,
they are the toughest plants I know .
Davlilies make a very satisfactory
plant for the perennial border. Also,
if planted in mass close together,
they require less work than any other
kind of border, for little or no
weeding is required. Put on one foot
centers, their arching grass • like
leaves will shade the ground so
heavily in two years that weeds are
inhibited. Scratching the soil around
them in early spring and cultivating
the front of the border hardly more
than twice during the summer takes
care of the weeding problem.
If later on one decides to propa-
gate them by dividing, large division
should be taken to get quick results.
Ideal conditions for Daylilies include
any good garden soil and full sun,
where the blooms are most profuse.
However the more delicate pastel
shades hold up best in light shade,
suggesting a compromise between
quantity and quality. An ocassional
outbreak of sucking insects may mar
the foliage slightly but won't harm
the plant. It can be controlled with
malathion and cygon-1.
There are many ways to use
Daylilies within your landscape and
with these plants being so easy to
grow you should not overlook them.
The hybridizers have been and still
working on new combinations of
colors and 1 think we have only seen
thebeginning of an explosion of color
in Daylilies. There are several Hydri-
dizers in this area who have done
wonders with daylilies.
