February 8th Is
Date for Show
Date for Hemphill County's annual Junior
Livestock Show has been tentatively set for Sat-
urday, February 8, with February 15 as an al-
ternate date if bad weather should interfere.
Plans for J he 1958 show
were completed last week by
a Chamber of Commerce com-
mittee headed by Lynn Futch
as chairman.
■ Two hundred and twenty-
five dollars in cash prizes,
and nearly $0 ribbons and ro-
settes, will be' awarded the
winners in the steer and swine
divisions of the show.
No auction sale of livestock
will be held here this year,
since FFA and 4-H-Club spon-
sors have indicated that most
of the ribbon winners will
probably be held over for
shows at Pampa and Houston.
Arrangements will be made
by the Chamber of Commerce,
however, for payment of top
market prices for all swine
entries which local club boys
want to sell here.
Dr. M. R. Calliham, head of
the Department of Agriculture
at West Texas State College,,
will judge the show this year.
Following the trend of re-
cent years, 4-H Club and FFA
boys will exhibit mostly pigs
this year. Indications are that
there will be only six calves
entered in the fat steer di-
vision . . . one from the FFA
group and five from 4-H Club
members.
More than seventy hogs are
being groomed for showing
this year, fifty-two entries in
this division being scheduled
by FFA and 21 by 4-H Club
members.
• As a result, there will be
only one class of steers in the
show this year. The first-place
winner will receive a $25 cash
prize, with $15 for second
place, $10 for third place, and
$5 for the fourth place entry.
In the Swine show there
will be six classes, with light
and heavy divisions for bar-
rows in both the "Bacon Type"
(Yorkshires and Berkshires),
and "Lard Type" (Durocs, Po-
land China, etc.); one class of
Gilts and one class of Sows.
Prize money in each class,
except that for Sows, will be
$10 for first place, $8 for sec-
ond placo. $6 for third, $4 for
fourth, $2 for fifth, and $1
for sixth place.
In the class of Sows, first
prize will be $7, second prize
$5, and third prize $3.
Ribbons will be awarded all
prize winners, with special ro-
settes for the Grand and Re-
serve Champions of the show.
On the Stock Show Commit-
tee for the Chamber of Com-
merce are Lynn Futch, County
Agent Warren Pickens, Voca-
tional Agriculture Instructor
Rex Kennedy, H. S. Wilbur sr.,

gins and Frank McMordie sr.

Lots of Smoke But Little Fire
In Blaze at City Drug Store
Fire at the City Drug Store
Wednesday night resulted in
a lot of smoke but only minor
damage.
The smoke-filled store at-
tracted attention of a group
of Canadian high school stu-
dents shortly after 9:30 p. m.
Wednesday evening, and city
police were notified.
Firemen arriving at the
scene worked cautiously
through the fog of'smoke and
found an oil mop near a hot
water heater in the rear of
the store glowing brightly.
Aside from the mop, which
was described by Fire Chief
John Wilkinson as "a total
loss," there was no fire dam-
age.
Given a little more time,
however, the fire chief said,
there would have been a full-
scale fire underway.
The fire was spotted and
reported by Max ami Marcia
Crowell, Ronnie Cole and
Chuck Yarnold.
