the probable district winners but
have a good chai.ee of advan-

Their defeat last week of the
ldalou Wildcats 48-6 was a
shock to area fans, as most had
predicted this would be a close
game.
However, some point out, botn
Lorenzo and Kalis played Peters-
burg a good game for three quar-
ters* before the Buffoloes finally
took over completely Local fans
are hoping that the Chiefs will
be able to give a good account
of themselves in the game Fri-
day night.
Whether two of Crosbyton's
starters will be in the line up
this week was still uncertain
Tuesday. Calvin Brints with an
injured knee and Mike Moore,
oui with a virus infection, miss-
ed last- > gtrwe agotmrt Sil -
verton, their absence almost tip-
ping the scales in the Owls' fav-
or Coa<"h Deane Wright was
hoping they would be able to re-
turn to the line up this week but
at last report was still uncertain.
Petersburg is strong in every
department, Crosbyton scouts
report. They have allowed only-
three or four counters all season
long, while piling up lopsided
scores against most opponents.
They have weight, speed and
championship visions —- a com-
bination hard to beat.
The Chiefs eked out their sec-
victory in district play last Fri-
day night by defeating the Sil-
verton Owls 27 26 at Silverton.

They made arrangements for the
$15,000.00 which this research

tion of the expenses.
Crosbyton voters, along with
other voters over Texas, are be
inn asked to vote on four consti
tutional amendments Saturday.
Nov. 9. Being an oft election year
in which there are no local or
state candidates, state officials
are uring citizens to vote Satur
day in order that the decision

Polling places will be the
same as in other elections, with
Pioneer Memorial Building desig
nated as the official place to
vote in the Crosbyton precinct.
Voting time is from 8 a.m. to-7
p.m.
Poll Tax Issue Strong V
Amendment attracting the
most discussion and difference
of opinion is the first on the bal
lot, referred to as the Poll Tax
Amendment. Approval of this a
mendment would abolish the
poll tax as a prerequisite to vot
ing.
Le&am TavOTWg trie- amend
ment point out that 48 of the 50
states get along without the poll
tax, and that the payment of a
tax for the right lo vote Is not in
keepinp with the Democratic
ideals. They answer the opposi
tions main argument that the
poll tax keeps down election
Irregularities by pointing out that
Texas has had its share of elec
tion frauds with the (Kill lax in
effect.
Arguments for keeping the
tax are that the poll tax trends
to weed out unqualifed voters,
discourage block votihg, and
holds down election lrnegulari-
ties. Opposition lo repeal of the
poll tax is mostly ainolng con-
servatives of the state, who claim
abolition of the pol] taxi would
allow liberals to push through
much of their proposed legisla
tion through block voting.
No. 2 Eases Assistance
Amendment No. 2 brings to-
gether ail four public welfare
programs; aid to blind, and to
dependent children, old age as
sistance. and aid to totally dis-
abled. If approved, it would do_
two things: climinatr jmy con
stitutional requirements of resi-
dence in state and leave this to
discretion of the legislature, it
would eliminate dollar restric-
tions on the amount of assistance
which may be given to individ-
uals, and set an overall limit of
$60 million per year on State
funds which may be expended
fm all fuui programed
Those favoring the amendment
say that the proposal would pro-
vide more flexibility in the pro-
grams, and allow better use of
both state and federal moneys.
The amendment is supported by
Gov. Connally.
Persons against the amend-
ment believe that present levels
of assistance are sufficient, and
that constitutional restrictions
should be kept on the amount
recipients can be paid out ot
