I'.S.A.
Discussed arts and crafts with Pat
Ainsworth. She told of making a
Christmas angel using a sheet, a
coathanger. glitter, pipe cleaners,
etc. When Marion came in she
asked. “What does this look like to
your”
Said Marion, “It looks like a sheet,
a coathanger. glitter, and pipe clean-
ers. What’s it supposed to be?”
So I shared with Pat directions for
making a "snake” to put at the
bottom of a door to keep out the
winter cold or the summer heat. Tear
a defunct sheet (or get remnants) the
proper width, roll nice and tight and
space rubber bands snugly around
the roll at appropriate intervals.
Voila’. A draft baffler.
Got to thinking of the different
ways to spell similar-sounding
names. Take for instance. Gerald
Wicks, Jerrel Richey, Jearl Ham.
and Jearld Boles.
Memo to Ellen DePoyster Young;
Can’t get the lovely quilts you
brought to the Fall Festival quilting
party out of my mind. Your mother’s
“Butterfly’’ and “Tree of Life’’ both
deserved the prizes they took
Harry Patterson Story: Early in the
century, deep in the South Sulphur
bottom, folks around took advantage
of an unusual opening in the timber.
A great hay meadow, lush with
native grass, drew hayers, their
mowers, and hay presses from miles
around. They baled enormous quan-
tities of hay.
On the edge of the meadow,
another treat -- a heavy stand of
blackberry bushes. Wagon loads of
pickers came -- some drove twenty
miles for berries •• the better to load
their pantry shelves with jam and
jelly for the winter’s hot biscuits.

The Town and Country Garden
Gub’s gala for the Northern Zone
meeting of (33) Texas Garden Gubs
on 11-8 went off beautifully. Joann
Preas and Colleen served a delicious
preview-of-Thanksgiving lunch. Dig-
nitaries were there: Judge Potts.
Mayor Robinson, the Reverend Ta-
tum. Club President Gladys Stockton
led the seventeen members of T and
C, who worked as a team for the
successful day.
Cloyce Adams. Don Abernathy, and
Edwin Slough laughed until they fell
off their chairs.
Lou Nimmo’s quilt and the afghan
Mildred Branch's sis-in-law Anne
Branch of Mesquite made garnered
two hundred clams each to bring the
final total to a tidy sum. Lake
Creekers cooperate like mad. Their
Lord's Acre is always a wow.
Nimmo Update: Harry and Lou
help hold down Lake Creek and the
Lake Creek UMC. Harry keeps his
hand in at farming; Lou turns out two
or three quilts a year. They are busy
with grandparenting as well. Nicky's

At the Library’s Fall Festival,
Neali was dashing here and there
making signs for booths. I asked,
“Have you had training or do you
have a gift?”
Replied Neali, "I just do this. I've
always written.” (I’ve learned she is
much in demand for her exceptional
free-hand lettering.)

Future Einsteins & Edisons
A projection by the World Bank
that the world's population will
explode from 4.8 to 10 billion by the
year 2050, leaves one with night-
marish images of a world of people
living like squashed sardines amidst
excessive unemployment, disease,
congestion, and crime.
According to the report, the only
solution to this grim forecast is
immediate family planning measures
to reduce the fertility rates in devel-
oping countries.
The Reagan administration, how-
ever, takes another view on the issue
of population growth. A recent
White House draft paper - later
muddied up by the bureaucrats —
argues that in the long run a growing
population is beneficial to mankind
Proponents of population control
say that population grow-th and pol-
itical instability are inexorably link-
ed. In evidence, they merely point to
"overpopulated” countries like Ind-
ia. which breeds riots the way the
U.S. Congress breeds deficits.
But others, such as Julian Simon,
co-editor of a new book, "The
Resourceful Earth,” sees population
as an asset, rather than a burden.
Population increases give us a never-
ending renewable pool of new talent,
new genius, he says. If institutional
roadblocks don’t get in the way,
people-power (what author Warren
Brookes refers to as "the economy in
mind”) can solve almost any prob-
lem, he argues.
According to “The Resourceful
Earth” - a challenge to the Carter-
Mondale administration’s pessimis-
tic “Global 2000 Report,” which
predicted an overpopulated, polluted
earth unable to sustain man’s basic
needs -• evidence shows that given
time to adjust to resource shortages,
free people inevitably will find a way
to create new resources. The extra-
ordinary aspect of this procesa,
Simon says, is that it produces a
world that Is better than if the
shortages had never arisen, thanks
to the new technologies which are
developed. Plastics, for example,
began as a substitute for elephant
ivory in billiard balls after tusks
became scarce.
The main point, Simon says, is
that population growth increases the
stock of useful human knowledge
that each day betters the world. And
population "control", he notes with
certainty, is a sure-fire way to make
sure mankind has a sure supply at
future Einsteins and Edisons.
That Wonderful Year 1927
The Lake Creek United Metho-
dists’ Lord’s Acre was the usual riot

Rader and goodwife came from Paris
to add to hilarity. Butch Bums, as
auctioneer, is a kick. The word is

This Week’s Spotlight
BY ANGELINE SHARP
Nellie (Taylor — from Arkansas)
and Henry C. Hurley raised their son
Dahl here in Cooper. Oklahomans
William and Oma (Owen) Johnson
brought their daughter Lorene here
when she was two. Dahl and Lorene
grew up, met - on the Cooper
Square of course - and a Cooper
wedding followed in due time.
Dahl farmed, was in the cotton
seed business with his father, and
spent some time in the insurance
business. Lorene, besides hand-rais-
ing their three children, was with the
telephone company seven years,
where she enjoyed Audrey and Jo
Tharp (she taught Audrey the
switchboard and later went to Aud-
rey’s retirement party). Lorene help-
ed at the Delta Nursing Home
thirteen years.
Dahl and Lorene were first joined
by twins, Phillis and Phillip, and
l»ter by son Hollis. Phillis and
husband Dale Waits live in Child-
ress; Dale is a telephone company
supervisor. Dale and Phillis’ three
daughters are Lori, Shey, and Jamie
Phillip Hurley is a hospital admin-
istrator in Lake City, Florida, and
lives there with wife Mary Lee,
daughter Kristy, and sons Phillip
Jr.. Michael, and Brad.
Hollis Glenn Hurley is our Gentle-
man of the Week. Hollis had abso
lutely no trouble breezing through
Cooper Elementary and CHS. He
was named to National Honor Sod
ety his junior and senior years, was
president of his senior class, and
played French horn and comet in the
School Band three years. He was in
the Spanish Gub and Health Careers
Club (for those with interests in
medicine).
Graduating with the Gass of ’69,
Hollis went on to ET and worked at
pre-med studies three years before
he signed on with Talley Automotive
in Cooper. He was Talley’s mainstay
some seven years before he went
across the Square to keep things
straight at D&E Discount - which
became Larry's.
At Larry’s, Hollis worked with
Jack Stewart (Larry's father-in-law -
see Delta Diary 11-1). Next came a
tempting offer from Rockwell Inter-
national in Sulphur Springs. Four-
teen months later came the famous
lay-off. Larry's welcomed Hollis back
with open arms. Hollis Hurley and
Jack Stewart worked together anoth-
er two years and - on August 1st -
last — joined forces as part-
ners in the news S&H Discount.
They know their stuff (Hollis has
been a parts man some fourteen
years). Aside. Hollis has to talk on
the telephone a lot and he has one of
the nicest telephone voices I've
heard.
On his own time, Hollis pursues a
number of interests. Outdoors, it’s
fishing and hunting. When weather
drives him indoors he is busy with
woodworking, modeling, and sketch-
ing. Since Dahl Hurley’s death in
197f>, Hollis watches even more
carefully over his mother Lorene.
The two are members of Cooper
church of Christ. Their relationship
is close.
Hollis Hurley and Jack Stewart
keep S & H Discount open as long as
there is someone there who needs
help. Farmers and ranchers of the
area depend on the partners for
parts, advice, aid, and comfort *• in
good weather and bad.
Reported in the Delta Courier’s
November 29, 1927 issue - “The
general mercantile store of C. P.
Hollon of Klondike, which has been
robbed on numerous occasions in the
past few years and finally burned,
was robbed again Sunday night.
“Burglars entered through a rear
window and were successful in
knocking the knob and opening the
safe. According to the records there
was $88.02 in the safe which was
taken. Nothing else seemed to have
been molested. Robbers had failed to
open the safe on previous occasions.
"Sheriff Ira McDaniel was called
to Klondike Monday morning about
daylight and took finger prints and a
finger print specialist was called
Monday to develop them.
"Mr. Hollon’s store has been
robbed so many times that he is no
doubt discouraged in trying to con-
duct his business, and strange,
nearly all his robberies have occurr-
ed on Sunday nights.”
It was also reported in this same
issue that several automobiles were
stripped of motor-meters and tools at
a box supper held at Gough. County
Superintendent Millsap’s car was
stripped while he was auctioning off
boxes.
Two young men of the Klondike
community were placed under bond
to answer to the charge.
The New York Title & Mortgage
Company, the oldest and strongest
title insurance company operating in
the United States, appointed Taylor
Bros. & Townsend as their local rep-
resentatives.
Taylor Bros. & Townsend were
complimented in receiving this ap-
pointment, as the New York Title Co.
made thorough investigations as to
the ability of an abstract firm before
placing their title insurance con-
tracts. Local attorneys were to be
appointed by the company to exam-
ine all contracts and Taylor Bros. &
Townsend would issue title insur-
ance policies on their opinions. This
feature would enable prompt ser-
vice.
The issuance of the following
marriage licenses was announced:
Harrell Cummings and Miss Hat-
tie Mae Grady.
Frank Forest Hooten and Miss
Verdie Martin.
Loyd Rowls and Miss Ola Brewer.
L. B. Wright and Miss Gladys
Boyd.
Earl Watts and Miss Ovada
George.
Redmond Chessher and Miss
Mayo Lile.
Clyde McLarty and Miss Estelle
Eppers.
Gus Warren and Miss Rosa Bell
Williams.
W. P. Duckett, local manager of
Gulf States Telephone Co. announc-
ed that he had accepted the manage-
ment of the Comanche Telephone
Co. exchange and also the exchange
at Dustine, a small town 15 miles
distant^
Mr. Duckett had been manager of
Cooper. Eitloe and Lake Creek Ex-
changes for about nine years and he
and his family had made many
friends here who regretted their
going away.
It was understood that Mr. Duck-
ett would receive a nice raise in
salary with his new employers.
Mr. Duckett’s successor wasn’t
named at this time.
J. M Bunch of Birthright was in
Cooper at this time to finish hauling
to Birthright the stock of goods that
he had recently bought of John
Houston.
He said he found he had been in
Birthright too long to move and he
figured the highway would be built
between Cooper, Birthright and Sul-
phur Springs in the not too distant
future, and that he would consolidate
the stocks at home. He was having a
new store house built in which he
would put the combined stocks when
completed.
The Methodist Protestant pastor
was pounded, according to this same
issue of the Courier, and the story
read: “Rev. G. W. Sanders and
family were recipients of a generous
pounding Thanksgiving evening
which came as a complete surprise to
them. Unannounced, members of his
church came in a body, carrying all
sorts of groceries in large quantities
which attented the esteem with
which they held their pastor and
family.

eral readings. They were joined by
members of the Gob who gave three

An interesting football game was
to be staged at Cooper athletic part,
Nov. 30, 1927 at 4 o’clock.
Cooper Hi Bulldogs of the '27
season was to meet the Bulldogs of
1926. The team of 1927 would have
the advantage of practice, but 1926
Bulldogs were a strong team and
they would have the advantage of
age and weight.
They were fortunate to get all the
old team together and a good game
was promised. An admission charge
of 25c was to be made.
There were 24,729 bales of cotton
