I attended the Junior Beef
Breeding Show of the Fast
Texas Fair at Tyler last Sat-
urday. I believe this was a
new and expanded phase of
their livestock show and I
heard many favorable com -
ments concerning it. Plans
were made so that young-
ster' would only have tomiss
one day of school, which pro
bably helped considerably.
It appeared to me that the
quality of animals being shown
was outstanding. I was also
impressed with the job the
youngsters had done in fitting
and grooming their animals
and in ihe good job they did
in • howing them.
Bob Murdock said that by
correcting i few mistakes
they found this year, he thinks
they'll have an even bigger
and better show next year.
Home owners are calling in
concerning twigs being cut off
their pecan tree1-. This is
being done by 'wig girdler
beetles. The female cuts a
notch around the twig , and
lay their eggs on the severer!
• portion of the twig. These
twigs then fall to the ground.
The larvae that hatch from
the eggs burrow into the twig
and live on the deteriorating
wood through the winter
month1. Cleaning tip these
twigs and burning them will
help cut down on next year's
population of girdlers
Sprays containing malathion,
or carbaryl (Sevin), when the
fir<-t girdled twigs are noticed
will help control thee
beetles. Three applications
at 2-week intervals are us-
ually neces<-arv.
A friend said recently, "After many years of preparing
to live, I've decided it's more Important to prepare to die,"
Needless to say, the comment provided food for farther
thought.
A happy balance would be achieved, if we could do both.
..nr' whether we realize it or not, that's precisely what
most of us try to do...prepare for both.
In the meantime while all this "future" preparation gets
priority treatment, we must go on about the business of just
plain, old living. Day to day, hour by hour, combat with
life, v/e reason.
Thanksgiving isn't too far away, neither is the season of
cool, colorful Indian Summer. (Any day now, the woods
will be a riot of gorgeou"- color.) Where else but right
iere, could the human heart find such a magnificent place
0 do "battle" with life and its varied problems?
Cod i; in't intend that we should have pollution, Crime,
war, disease, etc., etc., but got 'em we dol And seeking
10 -olve them should be the business of every person on
earth...but when we're not, struggling with the*e, or equally
ir tportant mean1- of keeping the wolf from the door, it's
nice to know that one can step outside and enjoy a breath
of clean, cri^p, delightful fall air. It's nice to know we
can look up most evenings and see a sunset of such great
bi-auty, that it would be impossible to re-create it on can-
va . It'<- also nice to know that while our' rural way of
'ife may not be the mecca for industry we would like it to
b-., it doe-- pre ent some positive points which make this
the most desirable place on earth to live...to prepare to
liv or to prepare to die.
Juct ask anybody who is a native...and who yearns to re-
turn...to a fondly remembered Rusk...with its clean air,
natural beauty and big hearts in friendly people.
1 am thankful that Rusk came to be my adopted home.

THE AMAZING
PLANT BULB
The bulb is a special under*
ground stem which enable* a
plant to live through the winter.
Like a seed the bulb holds with*
In Itself the undeveloped future
plant. Unlike a seed the bulb
has much stored-up nourishment,
and a plant grows more quickly
from a bulb than a seed.
The tulip, narclsaua, Illy and
hyacinth are flowers grown from
bulbs. The gladioli are grown
from cornns. Corms are ike
bulhs, except bulbs live en from
year to year and corms die ev>
ery year.
Our most important job is to
have the flowers you want, when
you need them. Our stock is al-
ways complete, and we happily
supply your needs whenever you

■71 E. B. Mustek, Jr.
October 24th Is the big date
to remember-our 30th An-
niversary Celebration. Now
is the time '0 make the plans
to attend and invite your
friends. All charter members
are being contacted and all
past presidents, urging them
to be with us. Should be
some out of town people that
you have not seen in a long
time. A very entertaining
program has been planned.
We welcome Mr. Eddie Bro-
oks, owner of Whites Auto
Store, as a new member it
the Rusk Lions Club. Ano-
ther wonderful announcement
by Lion Secretary Leon Pled-
ger is that Dr. W, E, Gab-
bert donated his $100.00 de-
benture to the Club. We
certainly do appreciate this.
Another date to remember
(■- the 15th of October when
a good program is expect-
ed from the Texas State De-
partment of Health. Lion
Billy Watson, program Chair-
man, presented Dr. Charles
Hall from the Rusk State Hos-
pital as our speaker. His
subject was "Hatful of
Beans", which really means
doing something good for your
fellow man. He got this sub-
ject from an author Eric
Hoffer. Mr. Hoffer was pick-
ing beans and was to be paid
so much for each basketful.
He did not quite have a fall
basket when á person came up
and put them Into his bas-
ket, making it full, and told
him that all he owed him was
to give the next person in
need a "Hatful of Beans".
It seems, says Dr. Hall, that
it is always easier to do
something nice and help
someone in trouble that ypu
do not know than it is for
a person you do know. We '
have a low capacity for lov-
ing our neighbor. This ties
in with the people that work
at the Rusk State Hospital.
They are doing a greát job
under difficult conditions.
We enjoyed Dr. Hall very
much and invite him to visit-
us again soon,
A man was bragging to. his
friend about his family.
"When I go home in theeven-
ingst everything is ready
for me. Pipe, easy chair,
slippers, the evening news-
paper, lamp turned on, and
always plenty of hot water."
"I get the same treatment,"
said his friend. "But I don't
get any hot water. By the
way, what's the hot water
for?" "Well", the man said,
"my family loves me very
much. You don't think they're
going to make me wash the
dinner dishes in cold water,
do you?" See you Thursday
noon Pinevlew Restaurant.
This being the second ln a
serie* about the Lon Morris
College Masque and Wig
Theatre double-billing, it will
concern the featuring of the
two shows, 'The Fantas-
ticks'' and "Look Homeward,
Angel", and several of the
characters from each of the
shows. The shows will play
on alternating nights, Monday
through Saturday, October 12-
24 with curtain at 7¡30 p.m.
"The Fanta«ticks", which
will open the season Oct.
12 in the Zula Pearson Thea-
tre-ln-the-Round, lsthe story
of young lovers. Matt and
Luisa, as told with the as-
sistance of a narrator, El
Gallo. The fathers of the
youngsters, Bellamy and Hu-
cklebee, plot together and for-
bid Matt and Luisa to fall
in love. However, as in
most cases and as in the
fathers' plan, the two fall
hopelessly in love. Unfor-
tunately, this love was too
easy. Luisa departs from
Matt with El Gallo while the
two old cronies mourn the
failure of their perfect plan.
Kim Ker, Freshman at Lon
Morris, says of his chara-
cter in "The Fantasticks",
"Bellamy is a warm, yet
troublesome, character. He
loves his daughter very much
and wants what he thinks is
best for her even though may-
be It Isn't. He's troublesome
in the fact that everything has
to be explained A B C, 1 2 3
before he quiteunderstands."
Says Cary Burkett, Sopho-
more president of the Mas-
que and Wig Theatre, "El
Gallo is the narraotr and al-
so a character in the play.
He has an air of authroity
and a dash of magic. Through-
out the play he speaks directly
to the audience and seems to
control the destinies of the
other characters as he leads
them out of a romantic world
of dreams and into the world
of real, unselfish love. It
is a physically demanding role
as well as a difficult acting
part."
"Look Homeward, Angel",
opening Oct. 13, revolves a-
round the Dixieland Boarding
House in a small southern
town. Within this small world,
Eugene Gant attempts to grow
while being stunted by his
mother, Eliza.and restricted
who has little to do but roar
against the ^hackles of his
marriage and his town.
Through the advice and aid
of his brother, E)en, and his
love for the girl, Laura, Eu-
gene leaves the Dixieland.
However, this Is after Laura
has left him and Ben has
died of consumption.
Ginger Fúgate says of her
character, one of the board-
ers, "Fatty Pert is a soft,
rounded, whimsical woman of
43. It is quite evident that
she adores Ben Gant. In a
house that is filled with ten-
sion and pent up hostilities.
Fatty is Ben's only refuge
for comfort and love."
When asked about her chara-
cter, Mel Hardy, sophomore,
said, "Madame Elizabeth is
by far the most difficult role
I've ever tackled. Because
she's such a sensitive per-
sonal would be easy to make
her into a comical character,
which she is not."
Masque and Wig invites each
and everyone to enjoy two
fine evenings of entertainment
in the Zula Pearson Theatre-i
in-the-Round. Reservations
may be made one week prior
to the performance by con-
tacting the Department of
Drama, Lon Morris College,
at 586-2471 ext. 42.

Byers Is Named
To Book Publication
The 23rd Psalm is one of Ihe most
familiar chapters in the Bible. Early
in life, most of us have committed it
to memory. Every once in a while we
should go back to these verses and
think of the wonderful message of
faith and trust in God that they re-
veal to us. They show us that we have
a loving Father, one wh'o will show
us the right paths; one who will
protect and provide for us. These
scriptures end with a note of
thanksgiving and a promise.
"Surely goodness and mere y
shall follow me all the days of
my life: and I will dwell in the
house of the Lord foreuer."
Plan to start a regular worship
in the Lord's house .
Color sets are moving in ail over town, ready for
football games, specials, and network programs all
in color this fall. Color makes watching more exciting
and more fun. And a color television is economical
to operate with low-cost electricity from Seseo.
See your electric appliance dealer today and move
a color set Into your home.
