PROCESSED ON
SUNNY DAYS
Taking advantage of a few
scattered sunny days, Crosbyton
area farmers managed to har-
vest an additional 4,442 bales
and get them into area gins dur-
ing the past two weeks.
This brought total to date up
to 14,944. This year's late crop
was still behind the 1960 total of
23,309 bales at this time. How-
ever, in 1960, more than 80 per-
cent of the cotton was harvested
by December 1.
The sun hinted it might be
ready to come out and do its
work late Wednesday. Certainly
everyone in this agriculturally
oriented county was hoping so.
Cotton processed by seven area
gins until now is:
Blanco Gin 1,625
Broadway Gin S49
Co-op, Crosbyton 4.903
Co-op, McAdoo 2,797
Co-op, Wake 2,289
West Texas, Crosbyton 2,275

Citizen Interview
JACK ROBERTS
"I have a problem crowding
everything I want to teach into
one day," admits Jack Roberts,
new Crosbyton fifth grade teach-
er, "but there isn't any disci-
pline problem."
This is Roberts' first year to
teach fifth graders.
"Having so many students in
a class "is another obstacle
which bothers the Hardin Sim
mons graduate. "I can't give
them all the individual atten-
tion I feel some of them need."
Roberts likes teaching history,
arithmetic and English most.
He finds penmanship his most
difficult subject. "My own hand-
writing is not too gobd."
How does he like teaching in
Crosbyton ?
"I enjoy teaching immensely,
wouldn't want to do anything
else. And I like grade school;
they're still eager learners. High
school kids think they know
more than you do and they're
quite michievous.
"I like Crosbyton very much
It is a friendly town and easy
to get acquainted in, although,
as usual. I'm having trouble re-
membering names. I'd like to
live here 20 years. The only
drawback is dust."

This is the only campaign of the
year and no other fu;id raising
method will be used here by the
Army.
The Salvation Army does not
send members into Crosbyton for
tambourine solicitation. At least
one other organization has been
soliciting with tambourines here
but has no connection with the
Salvation Army.
Of the money raised, a third
stays here and the remaindei
goes to state headquarters. If
Crosbyton needs additional
funds during the year, money is
sent back to the treasury. Cros-
byton has often availed itself of
this arrangement during past
years.

Growers who want price-sup
port protection for their 1962
wheat crop are being reminded
about the conservation require-
ments of the 1962 wheat stabi-
lization program. James E. Win
ter, office manager, Crosby
County ASC, points out that
wheat growers will have to take
an extra step this year if they
want to be eligible for price sup
port on their 1962 crop.
In other years, he explains, it1
was necessary for a producer to
comply with his farm wheat
acreage allotment in order to
qualify for loans or purchase a
greements on his wheat cropf. In
Nuclear Attack to
Be Discussed at
Farmers Union Meet
Farmers Union will mull over
the possibility of nuclear attack
at a meeting scheduled at 7:30
p.m. tonight, Thursday, in the
school lunchroom, according to
Donald Wooten. county presi-
dent.
County Agent Lee Suther will
show a film on "Farm Survival
In the Event of Nuclear Attack"
to members and their families.
Following the program will be
games of "42" and dominoes a-
long with refreshments.
1962. such compliance is still re-
quired, but there is an addition
al requirement that an inten-
tion-'to participate form be filed
and that the acreage diverted
from the production of wheat be
devoted to an approved conser
vation. use. Program payments
will be made to producers for
conserving the direvted acreage.
According to Mr. Winter the
1962 wheat allotment notices
sent to growers before the wheat
marketing quota referendum
last August reflected a 10 per
ce*>t reduction below what the
allotment would have been un-
der previous legislative author-
ity.
Under legislation governing
the 1962 wheat program, this 10-
percent diverted acreage figure
is the minimum acreage which
alSfl must be * devoted to soil
conserving uses in order to com
ply with program provisions.
The diverted acres put to an
approved conservation use must
be in addition to the normal ac
reage devoted to conservation
uses on the farm.
Mr. Winter suggests that
farmers check with the ASCS
County Office about approved
conservation practices which
may be carried out on diverted
wheat acreage in complying
with the 1962 wheat stabilization
program.

Shows Why Not
This is an imaginary story
and Crosbyton schools will do
everything possible to keep
Johnny out of such a situation
this winter. However, it does il-
lustrate why local buses do not
run early on stormy days.
"The reason we don't turn out
early when a storm comes," says
Supt. S. T. Hawkes, "is that if
one parent is not at home when
the bus arrives, we don't know
what to do with his child.
"I would like to point out that
in the event a storm comes, and
a parent is worried about his
child, he can come by the
school and get the youngster
any lime he wants to.
Think of Saiety
"'We feel as though we're
thinking of the safety of the
children here by not turning
school out early. With the sea-
son of winter weather here, par-
ents should keep these facts in
mind."
There is another bad weather
policy which some parents mis-
understand. They cannot com
prehend why the bus does not
go out into the mud to pick up
students.
" We don't go off the pave-
ment when dirt; roads are wet."
Hawkes explains, "and there
may be times it is necessary for
parents to meet their child at
the pavement.
Stuck Means Repairs
"This is because the buses are
so easily stuck. Every time one
of them is _stuck, it calls for an
overhaul job.
"We fell that the only reason
we run these buses is to give
service and we want to give as
good as we can. Sometimes, be-
cause it is a part time job and
doesn't pay much, it is difficult
to find the right kind of person
to drive.
"Right now we're faced with
finding someone again. Mary
Creed, who is going to work for
General Electric, is quitting at
Christmas and we need someone
to take the Wake route."
BURGLAR PLANS
SNAKEY HUNT
Some burglar plans to go
hunting with a 12 gauge
shotgun in snakey country.
That's what clues seemed to
point at, following a robbery
of Abell Prewitt Company in
Ralls over the weekend.
Gone were 54 boxes of 12
gauge shells, a metal tool
box, $5 cash and a pint of
Jim Beam whiskey. The
theft was discovered Mon-
day morning.
CROP Campaign
Now in Progress
"Crosby County's 1961 CROP
campaign is in progress this
week," according to Weldon Mc-
Clure. county campaign director.
"At a recent meeting of the
campaign directors it was decid-
ed to make the annual CROP
drive at this time," he said.
Purpose of CROP (Christian
Rural Overseas Program) is to
collect donations— cash, cotton,
or other commodities to aid hu-
man need throughout the world.
"If you are approached by one
of the campaign directors you
are being asked to help in any
way that you can," Mr. McClure
said. "Locally, many farmers
are making their contributions
through their gins. The various
gin managers know about the
program and will assist in di-
recting your contribution to
CROP.
'Whether it be a bale of cotton
or more, or than a bale, it
will be appreciated and chan-
neled directly to where the need
is felt."
Directors for the county are
Charles Tyler, Crosbyton; Brice
Allen, East Plains area; M. T.
Darden, Lorenzo. Jack Cannon,
Lorenzo is the county commodity
director, and Leon Williams, Lo-
renzo, is county treasurer.
An 18 minute sound film,
"Sounds of the Earth", is being

Mr. and Mrs. Jean Pieraerts,
Marcel and Vincent, of Wolf-

Ben RirTiardsons, the Pat Ben-
netts and the Bob Krals.
Some of the councilmen's
wives weren'* too happy about
their husbands' recent' trip to
Minnesota to view a turbo
charged engine for an electric
plant.
Mrs. Guy Thompson, in parti-
cular, took her revenge. Wher.
Alderman Thompson phoned
home, Margaret first told him
that she had purchased a num-
ber of expensive items (although
she really hadn't).
Then she hinted that she was
thinking of dying her hair. Now
if there is anything Guy doesn't
like, it is dyed hair. However,
like a canny husband, he chose
to ignore these intimations.
When the group flew back,
Margaret was waiting for them
at the airport—with her hair a
nice new silver color. Guy
thought seriously of just staying
on the plane and flying back.
All turned out well. Margaret
had just sprayed on some stage
makeup with one of those new-
fangled bombs. It washed out
right away.

Among other difficulties en-
countered on the trip, council-
men had a hard time talking
Alderman Ted Karr into flying
back on a jet.
"Why. if one of those burners
went out," Karr aKUed. "nobody
could get out th^Npn the wing

While wife Dorothy was away
teaching the Chamber of Com-
merce sponsored art class one
night recently, Lon Atchison sat
comfortably at home and watch-
ed TV.
The program was on life of
master painter, Vincent Van
Gogh, a crazy mixed up artist
who once cut off his ear and sent
it to a girl friend.
On her way home, Dorothy
noticed a light in the home of
her mother, who was supposed
to be out of town. She speculat-
ed that burglars might be ran-
sacking the residence.
"Is mother home yet?" she
asked Lon hurriedly as she burst
into the living room. On hearing
his "no", she turned and rushed
back out.
'"^thought you had gone crazy
like that painter fellow on tele-
vision," Lon said later, after she
had returned and explained. It
wasn't burglars, by the way, on-
ly a reflection in a window.
