Light Turnout
Feared In Unusual
Runoff Saturday
Saturday Bavtlott residents
will vote in one of the most un-
usunl Democratic primary run-
off elections in recent years.
There is a fear that Texans
will not vote because many sec-
tions of the state have no sec-
ond primary contests even at
the local level. The political ex-
perts are estimating a turnout
that can be counted in six figures.
An extremely light voto'
might write the verdict.
Going down to the wire for
the Democratic nomination for
'attorney general are Crawford
Martin 50 a native of Hills-
boro and Franklin Spears 34
year-old San Antonian.
Spears is a member of the
present Senator from Bexar
County completing his tenure
which started in 1961 when he
filled the seat vacated by Cong.
Henry Gonzalez.
Martin who served Hill Co-
unty in the Senate from 1949 to
19G3 resigned earlier this year
as secretary of state where he
had served three years by ap-
pointment of Gov. Connally.
Both are sons of former sen-
ators. Martin's father the late Will
M. Martin served as senator
from Hillsboro.
Spear's father the late J.
Franklin Spears served as a
senator from San Antonio.
Interest in the run-off elec-
tion is spotted.
Martin who led the May 7
primary three-man race with a
total vote of 540480 has the
support of the Gov. Connally
organization. Although the gov-
ernor gave no direct endorse
ment to candidates in the first t
primary he named Martin j
among those who had worked
diligently for his program'
through two legislatures.
Spears was one of three can-
didates endorsed for state of-

Summer Remedial
Program To Start
Monday At BHS
The summer remedial pro-
gram will get under way on
June Gth at 9 a. m. All interest-
ed pupils should report to the
high school auditorium at this
time. Any student who will be
in grades four through eleven
for the 19G6-G7 term is eligible
for this training. There will bo
three instructors to carry out
this program. They will tutor
the students in the subjects in
which they have had difficulty.
The school is not being operated
for credit and is a program
designed to catch up the stu-
dent with his class mates.
Tutoring will bo principally
in the language arts although
one instructor will work with
students on their math prob-
lems. Although this will be a full
day of work for the instructors
the students will come and go.
This schedule will be worked
out with students when they
register on Monday morning.
How often the students report
for lessons will depend on the
number of students the teach-
er has to work with. It may be
that a student will report only
twice a week for a 2 hour sess-
ion or even less. There will be
no transportation furnished and
no lunches will be served.
The number of students that
a teacher will work with at any
given period must be small for
this program to be effective and
will be scheduled this way.
This program is available to
all students who live in this dis-
trict even though they may at-
tend a parochial school during
the long term. There is no tu
ition fee and the only expense
will be in getting the student to
and from school.
The school would like to rec-
commend that all students who
have had difficulty during the
regular term take advantage of
this service ft is felt that it
can be of real help. This prog-
ram will end on July 15th.

Crops Damaged By
Hail In Wide Area
East Of Bartlett
Hail damaged crops in a wide
area east of Bartlett Saturday
afternoon and in some areas
again Sunday afternoon. No of-
ficial estimate of the damage
has been made but a view of
the some of the area hit indi-
cates that it will be heavy.
Along the Alligator road
from Skinner hill east maize
and corn were shredded and
most of the leaves were beaten
from tho cotton that was up.
Damage was reported as heav-
ier south of the area. Spotted
damage continued on to the

tive hail in the area since 1916.
