Canadian's first annual Sal-
vation Army finance cam-
paign opened here Wednesday
morning, with twenty - eight
volunteer workers conducting
a town-wide canvass.
Appeals for funds will also
go by mail to Hemphill coun-
ty residents, according to Rev.
Burr Morris, campaign chair-
man.
The campaign opened Wed-
nesday morning with a kick-
off meeting for all workers at
the Six-O Grill.
Campaign goal for the coun-
ty is $1,000. A portion of all
money raised will be admin-
istered through a six-man Lo-
cal Service Unit committee, of
which Warren Harrington is
chairman and Harry Wilbur
jr. is treasurer.
Harrington points out that
with this new method of op-
eration, Canadian will have
direct contact with the Sal-
vation Army and all of its
many state services will now
be available through the com-
mittee as they are needed.
Some of these services are
home and hospital for un-wed
mothers, summer camp for
under-privileged boys, disas-
ter services, homes for work-
ing girls, men's social service
centers and counsel and ad-
vice of experienced Salvation
Army personnel.
Campaign workers who are
spearheading the finance
drive are Eddie Abraham, Gor-
don (Tex) Hill, Charles Cook,
Warren Hill, Mrs. Lawrence
Teague, Mrs. Harry Wilbur jr.,
Mrs. John Glenn, Mrs. Wm. J.

Harry Rathjen, Mrs. Betty
Flowers, Malouf Abraham,
Rev. Burr Morris, and Warren
Harrington.
Game time will be 7:30 o'-
clock at Panhandle.
The Panthers, off to a slow
start this season, have been
coming along fast in recent
weeks, and won their first
conference game last Friday
night at the expense of the
Clarendon Broncos, defeating
the Broncs at Clarendon 16 to
6.
The Panthers lost their two
opening games to Gruver and
Childress, then surprised the
Stinnett Rattlers with a 6-6
tie and have since defeated
Sunray and Clarendon.
Against the Stinnett team,
the Canadian Wildcats ran in-
to heavy going two weeks ago
and lost the non-conference
encounter 28 to 14.
Last year's scheduled game
between the Panthers and
Wildcats was called off at
the last minute and forfeited
by Panhandle when a wave
of influenza hit the Panther
camp.
On the strength of their
showing against Stinnett, the
Panthers will be rated favor-
ites in tomorrow night's game.

Absentee voting in the Gen-
eral Election, slated for No-
vember 4, will begin next
Wednesday, October 15.
Hemphill county voters will
face a long ballot, with twen-
ty-three precinct, county, dis-
trict and state offices to be
filled and nine amendments
to the State Constitution to be
voted on.
Except for a contested write-
in campaign in this county for
the office of County Clerk,
however, no major interest is
being generated by the elec-
tion.
Although both Republican
and Constitution parties have
nominees on the ballot for
several state offices, there is
no serious trouble in sight for
Democratic party nominees.
The only race on the state
level which is attracting any
interest at all is that for Uni-
ted States Senator, in which
Democratic nominee Ralph
Yarborough, seeking re-elec-
tion for his first full term, is
opposed by Republican nom-
inee Roy Whittenburg of Am-
arillo. Whittenburg is making
an active campaign, but is
not generally rated as a ser-
ious threat in the race. Also
running for the Senate seat,
but making no campaign, is
Constitution Party nominee
Bard A. Logan.
In Hemphill county, howev-
er, a real contest is develop-
ing in the write-in campaign
for the office of County Clerk.
The Democratic party nomin-
ation was vacated by the
death of party nominee and
veteran official Hiram Park
shortly after the primary elec-
tion in which he won the
nomination.
The County Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee voted not
to name a replacement nom-
inee, leaving the office open
for write-in election.
Five candidates are actively
in the field for the four-year
term. They are Tom Hill, who
ran for the office in the pri-
mary and was defeated by
Park; Ben Parnell, Joe Pavlov-
sky, Carl Studer and Homer
Sanders.

son had been a semi-invalid
