By HUBERT CURRY
Nominations For
Citizen Of Year
Sought by C of C
In preparation for selecting
Crosbyton's Citizen of the Year
Chamber of Commerce officials
have asked local residents to
suggest recipients for the award
Nominations and reasons for
nominating the people may be
mailed to Chamber of Commerce
Manager Billy Joe Thomas Final
selection will be made by a
committee from the Chamber of
Commerce The Citizen of the
Year will be named at the an
nual Chamber of Commerce ban
quet, tentatively set In February
Somehow action of the City
Council some five or six months
ago officially renaming the
streets in the city got little if any
publicity However, recommends
tions of the Planning and Zon-
ig Commission urging these
changes were publicized Any
way./no one has paid any parti
eular attention to these changes
as yet.
If you lemembef. Fifth Street
(Highway 82 was chosen as the
dividing line between rttSrth a no
south designations, while Ayr-
shire remains the dividing line
bestween east and west designa
tions. If you were confused about
what street you lived on before,
you can be doubly confused now
because without looking it up no
one can be sure
Norton Barrett, city secretary,
says there has been some talk in
the Chamber of Commerce and
in coffee session groups about
putting up new street signs, but
that the City Council had not dis
cussed It officially Everyone a
grees that something should be
done about these signs, but so
far no one has taken the lead
Crosbyton needs these signs, and
whatever mfrans of financing
them might be adopted I believe
the citizens will go along with
it Bui this time lets get signs
that won't break in two when
something hits them.
Crosbyton Chamber of Com
merce is also discussing another
project which Trends considers a
MUST for Crosbyton—reorganiza
lion ot the Community Chest.
After experiencing the benefits
of a Community Chest Jor three
years, community has now gone
without one for the same period
of time. Greatest contention is
among workers, for somewhat
the 'same group on more than
one drive. Making the rounds
time aftei time to gather money
for this or that organization can
become lngh!\ monotonous.
One thing should be remem-
bered before a Community Chest
is organized. howc\er— it should
be controlled by Crosbyton, not
by the organizations Those or-
ganizations which refuse to part-
icipate should be given the op-
tion of sharing in the Community
Chest or having the community
give its !ri\e the cold shoulder.
After all, what Crosbyton people
give—and how—should He eon-
trolled locally, not by national
organization
\J \V
Texas treatment of the four a-
mendments Saturday was not
unexpected Only surprising
thing Is that even one of the a-
mendments was okeyed, this be-
ing the second one Trends has
pointed out often that politics is
