Stop it Home Only If
; Shop at homo .. . but only if you’re the right
; race or color. *
Is that what local merchants want our policy
to be here ?
From all indications, it is what SOME local
businesses and customers want.. . and if a customer
must go to Lubbock for one service or purchase,
: then that customer will probably do a lot of his
other trading in Lubbock while he’s there
A young man, just back from serving his coun-
• try In the armed forces, was turned down when he
; sought to get a hair cut here because he was not an
Anglo. His race is gffojl enough to defend us with
their lives, but they can’t get their hair cut at the
; same barber shops as we do.
; Fear that the regular customers would cease
trading with them is a reason given for this refusal
to give a haircut to a Latin American.
Customers with this attitude may not realize
that the barber shops are required to keep their in-
struments carefully sterilized, since scalp diseases
are not respecters of race at all.
The same man who wouldn’t dare have his hair
cut^with scissors used on someone of another race
doesn’t give a second thought to visiting a doctor
or dentist who has just treated a patient sent there
by the Migrant Healh Service.
The irony in the situation is that the “problem”
belongs to the men only. Women may get their hair
done at the local beauty shops regardless of race or
creed.
This policy which prevents a large section of
men in the Crosbyton area from being able to get"
their hair cut locally also affects an even larger
number of youth. Since about 50 percent of just the
first graders here are Latin-American and assum-
ing half of these are boys in need of hair cuts, this
means regular trips to Lubbock by a sizeable num-

"What mad.' you a multi-
millionaire, Sir?" the re-
porter ased the man.
”1 attribute it all to my
wife,” was the answer.
“Her loyal help?” the re-
porter continued.
"No. no" the millionaire
said. “I was curious to
know if there was any in-
come she couldn't live be-
vond."

Did you know that four
out of every ten male child-
ren in the United States to-
day will at some time be ar-
rested for a non-traffic vio-
lation? This is according to
the President's Crime Com-
mission. and reported in
Senator Ralph Yarborough's
Newsletter.
If you have two boys in
your family, chances are
that one of them will be in
trouble before he is 18
years of age.
If you don't have an open
line of communication with
your youngester instead of
thinking, "He wouldn't do
anything like that." you
could be saying, “Why did
he do it?"

A Gallup Poll that was re-
leased last week proved to
be interesting in that it
stated that 57 percent of the
people in the U. S. today feel
that religion is losing its ef-
fect on the American people.
Ten years ago the figure
stood at 14 percent. Also 23
percent believe that the in-
fluence is increasing where-
as 69 percent took that view
ten years ago.
What is the reason for re-
ligion losing its grip?
It could be too much soc-
ial adjustment and politics
and not enough SALVATION.

In our lead story last week
we told the amount of the
bid for the remodeling of the
school and who the second
high bidder was "and listed,
the amount of each of the
bids and bidder, except the
one who got the bid.
Nevertheless/' Loyd Price,
of Lubbock was the low bid
der with the amount of $102,
150.

Those of you who attended
the Chamber of Commerce
banquet here recently will
remember the crowd plead
ing for the musicians to turn
down the volume on their
amplifiers.
We understand that the
tables were turned Saturday
night when a gruop from
Seminole entertained at the
Junior Senior Banquet. The
kids in the audience were
stuffing cotton in their ears
and pleading for less volume
before the group was finish-
ed. I

We understand that in the
“wet" areas when the house
wife buys groceries, she of
ten restocks the family liq
uor supply at the same
time. She will pay $5.00 and
above for a fifth (just four
fifths of a quarti, then join
in a protest demonstration
when the price of milk rises
3 cents for one-half gallon
Of course, presently the
price of milk here is between
49 cents and 60 cents, de-
pending bn time of purchase

Two hunters wore driving
along a snowy, northern
Minnesota road and sudden-
ly came to a steep hill. Spot-
ting an old woodsman cut-
ting pine, they stopped and
asked if the hill was dan-
gerous.
“Not up here. It ain't,” he
replied. "But a lot of folks
gets pretty busted up down
at the bottom.
ber of families.
A family will normally spend at least $100 per
month for groceries to feed a family of four or
five. Multiply this by the number of families that
are forced, by a refusal of service here, to go to
Lubbock, and it is quite a figure.
It would be foolish to assume, these families
drive directly to a Lubbock barber shop and then
return straight home to Crosbyton where they do all
their buying of groceries, shoes, clothing and sun-
dUS# « . ,«
Thws foe the lack ota barber, .business is lost
•by a whole s’erieSof other merchants and firms . . •
business which would have helped pay the taxes to
support the schools, the city, the county . . . busi-
ness which would-have added pocket money from
which comes contributions to the summer youth pro-
gram, churches and other local,programs
Not only does this cost the community needed
money, but it creates & great inconvenience for
those who can’t be served here, thus more than
monetary question, it becomes a moral question.
