On the Passing Scene
with
Marie Whitehead
To put a smile on your face at this
very moment, let me share a thought
from another person's posted wall:
"I have gone out to look for myself. If
I should return before I get back,
hold me until I get here." That says
a lot about the way things are!
Now...if historians, 100 years or
so from now, want to know how
Easter weekend went in this area,
weather-wise, is it fair to say that it
was great? Lovely, lovely just
nice...for the many people who were
re-connecting in the love and spirit
of the Holy season.
Among those seen about town
were these. Earl and Ruth Ross
enjoyed the company of children and
grandchildren over Easter weekend.
Mildred Turney and husband,
who have both been in less than
great health, enjoyed a visit from
her daughter, Dolores, for Easter.
A long weekend for school kids
allowed Ron and Kathy Harris,
and Dr. John Spies with their chil-
dren to visit Jack and Opal Fitts.
Bobbie Jane Penn also enjoyed
several days of guests including her
sons and their families, Robo,
Rudy, Ricky and Ray. Her sisters
and families Annabelle Jones with
herdaughter, son-in-law and grand-
son, Freddye and Houston White
with Mike and Frances Dear,
Bonnie, Judy and Arch Banks,
Ginger and Ben Hatfield, Maijie
and Joe Williamson rounded out a
Workshop

Procedures for researching his-
torical subjects for Official Texas

the Cherokee County Historical
Commission, Bernard Mayfield,

sion said.

tin will conduct the workshop. Mrs.
Beeman directs historical markers
work for the Btate commission.
The workshop will be held during
the Commission's regular business
meeting in the county courtroom in
the courthouse in Rusk. That
meeting's business session will be
abbreviated for that session to al-
low time for the workshop for the
entire commission membership.
day of food, fun and fellowship.
Bro. Everett McCollum and
wife Lorene enjoyed daughters and
families for Easter weekend.
Polly Maness was another very
happy grandmother last week as
she ei\joyed a visit from granddaugh-
ter, Sherry.
Mearl Guinn was specially
pleased that joining her area family
members were son Bryan and wife
with children and grandchildren for
Easter weekend.
Flo Bostick was joined at church
Sunday by a number of her children
and grandchildren.
Jim and Margaret Perkins en-
joyed visits from Laura, law stu-
dent at SMU, also her parents, the
Hoovers of Houston, for Easter
weekend.
Stephanie and Robert Stovall,
daughter and son of Bruce and
Carol Stovall, were home for the
weekend. He is a student at TJC
and Steph is an accountant in Hous-
ton.
You want to read more of this? Let
me hear from you!!! In the mean-
time, a thought by Ghandi: "There
is more to life than increasing its
speed." And here is one by Texas'
own Cordell Hull: "Never insult an
alligator until you have crossed the
river."
And finally, have you ever noticed
that TEAMWORK does not have an
"I" in it? Until next week! -mw
Wandering Tho'ts
of a wandering fellow by Park Watson
Checkingout our foreign relations.
Once in a while I do something like
this for my own satisfaction and
er\joyment. I think it is sort of fun. I
pick out a foreign made product and
write to them...telling them I eryoy
their product and need to know more
about where to obtain it...that sort
of thing. I am always interested in
their reply...I did that recently and
here is the result. I wrote to the
public relations department of
Callard and Bowser, a company with
an address in York, the United King-
dom. I expressed an interested and
a liking for one of their products and
asked where I could buy it in the
U.SA. Subsequently I received a
letter from the manufacturer thank-
ing me for my interest and saying
they would put me in touch with
their United Kingdom Distributors.
I then got a nice letter from the
distributors telling me that they
were getting in touch with their
distributors in the United States. I
then got a letter from those people
thanking me for my interest and
telling me that the product was not
available at their level but they
would put me in touch with a com-
pany in Texas that handled their
product. And then I got a nice letter
from them. They told me that the
product was on sale at various out-
lets in Texas...but if I could not find
it in my area they were sending me
a name of a concern that would be
glad to mail me the product...and
they enclosed an order form.
I will buy the product. It is a little
mint in a tin box and the taste is
delicious.
Why do I do all this? I've been in
some form or other of the advertis-
ing business all my life. I've dealt
with all sorts of business
people...from the effusive to the
cranks.. .and it is really refreshing to
find business people who take the
time to pay this much attention to
some one they don't know who will
buy at best several boxes of an item
that sells for less than a dollar.
This is not an isolated case. There
are thousands of business concerns
that do, really do, put the customer
first. They say so in their advertis-
ing and they mean it. Successful
retailers know from whence cometh
their wealth...the customer. For us
in the radio advertising business...
our customers are the retailers plus
others...and we know...really
know...it is easier to keep a cus-
tomer than to get a new one.
My congratulations to Callard and
Bowser of the United Kingdom and
to their distributors in the United
States. You have made me feel good
about business.

- The Telephone
Companies Are
Talking Out Of
Both Ends Of Their
Receivers.
The Texas Telephone
Companies Are Asking
The Texas Legislature To
Deregulate Their Industry.
A Presentation Of Their
Claims And The Real Facts:
Telephone Claim: "We are not
making enough money to really
invest anything back into the Texas
telephone infrastmcture."
FACT: They made record profits last
year. They say they can't afford to
invest in Texas, yet they invested in
Mexico's telephone system, bought an
overseas cable company and are one
of the brand-new owners of the San
Antonio Spurs basketball team.
Telephone Claim: "We want
deregulation so we can be
competitive. It really has nothing
to do with the rates we will charge
customers."
FACT: The telephone companies
under their proposal will be able to
increase consumer rates as much as
10 percent a year (25 percent in some
cases). Their bill is all about money -
more for them, less for the consumer.
It Is Time To
Hang-up On
The Telephone
Companies.
Call your
legislator and
say NO
to telephone
