NEARLY NEW8!
By BILL YE STOCKTON
I’m still gasping over Jua-
nita Wooten's accomplish-
ments last week. The 20 page
Farmers Union newspaper she
and Dama Richardson com-
piled was quite an accom-
plishment But on top of that
Juanita herself prepared, all
the food for the ladies lunch-
eon Friday. It wasn’t Just a
three or four table luncheon,
either. They served dose to
112 women. Juanita admitted
she didn’t bake all the .pots-,
toes in her oven (112 pota
toes.), but she prepared them
for baking and also made the
chicken salad, fruit salad,
beviled eggs, green been sal
ad an muffins.
Mary Suther later told her
there was no need to send out
letters to ladies in the Metho
(list Church to bring a dish tu
the chuijph supper last night
since Juanita might as well
go ahead and cook it all her
self and go right into the cat-
ering business.

were gone.

Local square dancers an*
hoping that others will Join ,
them in reactivating the
square dance club here. For
those who don’t know how,
Glenn Jones will be giving
lessons and the first lesson is
tentatively slated Tuesday
night in the building formerly
tied by Campbell’s Dry
Johnny Lowe can tell a
story of the fish that got a-
way, but his story has a dif-
ferent twist. He’d caught two
nice baas at the White River
Lake and had them tied to a
mesquite branch etu<
through his belt loop. As he
kept fishing the two he’d al-
Hadn't watched good square
dancing for about a dozen
years, so I visited the local
group and their guests from
throughout the area last Fri
day nlgght They were having
more fun and enjoyment than
I’ve seen in a lonnnng time.
Of course, the eight callers
livened up the evening con
slderably. They took turns
calling and it*s amazing how
different each caller sounds.
Since I’ve never learned to
square dance, I was convinced
me or two were really auc
tioneering school graduates,
but it wasn’t Greek to the
square dancers who do-sf-do’d
throughout the evening.
Watching the intricate pat-
terns set by the squares of
eight people moving graceful-
ly to the calls 1 can under-
«
the Dodger team, will be pre-
sident of the Little League
this year. Roy Lee Ellis is
vice-president and J. D. Sheer
is secretary.
According to Don Ferree.
publicity chairman, "1966 has
the makings of another great
season. There are lots of new
faces in the League this year.
Ronnie Traylor and Bob Har
din will have the Cardinal
team. The Cards ,who have
come close many times to
winning the League title but
never made It, look real good
this year and seem to have
the talent to be on top come
July 9, some 40 baseball
games away."
Ferree added, “If the Cardi-
nals or Braves win, then the
League will have a different
champion four years in a row.
But right now, the Yankees
are current champs and pro-
bably would like to stay that
way. The Yankees had a great
team last year and Kenneth
Stegall and Jackie Hamersley
will probably have another
good one. Hamersley has
worked with the Minor Lea-
gue program in the LL. Ted
Karr and E. H. Flournoy, Jr.,
will have the Braves this
year. Both are former Dodger
rooters who will now enjoy
nothing better than beating
the Dodgers or any of the
teams in the League, for that
matter. The Braves have had
enough bad luck in recent
years, what with boys mov-
ing away after the season
starts, sickness and what
have you. It’s about time for
a change and I wouldn’t be
surprised for the Braves to
have a real good year.’’
Ferree said, “Dale Neff will
not be with the Indians this
year. He will be assisting Si
Swlndall with the umpiring,
Noble Neff will be in charge
of the Indians, who won their
last championship in 1963 and
are always around the top in
the standings.
"The Dodgers, ’64 champs,
still have two boys, Max Elli-
son and Kendell Verett, off
that team and will win their
share of the games and might
Just slip-In a few extra. Char
les Freeman and Glenn HIg
glnbotham, who has umpired
for the League in the past,
will have another fine Dodger
team this year.”
Ferree Urged, “One thing
all these teams need is sup-
port, so let’s all attend as.
many games as possible and
show these Beys Wr*
them all the way.’’
E. H. Flournoy, Jr., is man-
ager and Ted Karr la coach
of the Braves. Team members
are Kelly Karr, Johnny Flour-
noy, Benjie Smith, Roger Cris-
well, Terry Hunter, Dane
Crouch, Dennis Dale Voigt.
Wesley Alderete, Bryan Ray

dress the 10th annual birth
day party of the Crosby Coun-
ty Farmers Union. In his ad

ture instructor.
Invocation for the birthday

In Crosby County was given
by Mel Cherry. Texas Farmers
Union President Jay Naman
Introduced the speaker.
Dechant stated, “America’s
family farmers are not to be
blamed for our current war-
time inflationary economy,
and I resent current govern-
ment undertakings to roll
back form prices.
”1 resent the Commerce De-
partment’s imposition of a
limitation on our exports of
hides and skins hardly a year
after the Administration told
cattlemen to quit bellyaching
over drastically low cattle
prices and go out and build
up an export market
”1 resent a Department of
Defense 6 month, 50-percent
cutback In purchases of pone
and prime beef cuts, because
prices for these items were fi-
nally heading toward parity.
