Elected in Hot
School Election
Donald Wooten and Robert
Perkins were elected Saturday
to the board of Crosbyton Inde-
pendent School District in one of
the heaviest voting elections in
the history of this town's

Incumbent Wooten ended with
a 42 vote margin over challenger
Allen. A .total of 276 citizens
chose Wooten and a respectable
234 picked Allen. .
The other race was even
closer. Newcomer Perkins man-
aged to get a slim 10 votq mar-
gin over newcomer Harold Hod-
ges in a tight 257-247 vote. They
competed for the seat vacated by
Deward Ellison.
The support attracted by one
of these candidates,: winner or
loser, would normally have been
enough to put two men into
school board seats. These elec-
tions usually draw a total of less
than 100 -votes. - v

Flowers Asia Citizens' Support
in Coming Balloting for Clerk
In making his bid for the of.
fice of county clerk Burt Flow-
ers of Crosbyton has made the
following statement: '
TO THE* VOTERS OF
CROSBY COUNTY:
In making my announcement
for my candidacy to the office
of county clerk I feel that most
people in the county know me
as I have been a resident con-
tinuously since 1924. I have liv-
ed in Cone, Lorenzo and Crosby-
ton in these years and operated
various and varied businesses in
the county during this time.
I feel my experience as a busi
nessman, a bookkeeper and
business manager qualify me for
the position I now seek.
If elected t£ this office I will
endeavor to give you the court-
eous, efficient service taxpayers
of the county deserve. I pledge
my services and time to the cit-
izens of this county shoulder you
see fit to elect me and I will ap-
preciate any considerations you
might give me at the polls May

TO THE VOTERS AND CITIZENS
or PBErTMtrr a-
In announcing my candidacy
for Commissioner of Precinct 4.
the decision did not come on the
-spur-of-the- moment, ' but after
some eighteen months of ob-
jective deliberation.
The question, I belive,. always
arises among the constituency
as to why a person seeks public
office, when often times it would
seem at first thought the respon-
sibilities, required in the dis
charge of the duties of that of-
fice, 'would far outweigh the
honor and monetary means pro-
vided. I would have to answer
■this question in rather broad
terms. I believe, first of all and
basically, a conscientious seeker
of oftice has a desire of dis-
charging the duties of that of
fice, in a dignified and con-
scientious manner, realizing all
the time they are not indispens-
able.
Another basic reason would be
the honor that the office cairies
with it, as I believe in a demo-
cracy no matter what the office, the county, and if I am elected
may enter 3 wether lambs and
3 ewes. The ewe class-; is new
and "was added to encourage
more breeding animals atr.ong
exhibitors in the 4-H Clubs and
FFA Chapters of the county. .
Donville Moore,"Crosbyton. and
Clayton Sellers, Ralls, are super
intendents of the baby beef and
breeding heifer division of the
show. No changes were noted ip
this division. However, if entries
run heavy enough ^there is a
possibility that a medium
weight class may; be added.

Crosbyton's three school bands
played to a full house Monday
night at their concert in the high

of the biggest groups ever to
hear the Crosbyton bands, Di-
rector Jesse Lancet reported.
The big audience was highly
complimentary of the bands,
featuring the grade school band
made up of fifth and sixth grade
pupils, the juni.yj" high band, and
the hijfrh 'school Ch ieftafn lluhd.

Mrs. Stobaugh Makes Statement
In Race For County Superintendent
The Crosbyton ~ Review has
been authorized by Mrs. Buck
Stobaugh to announce to the
public that her name will be on
the official ballot as a candidate
for the office of Crosby County
Sehoot- Supcrinte
to the action of the Democratic
Primary election, to be held
Saturday, May 5. 1962.
In announcing her candidacy,
Mrs. Stobaugh submits the fol-
lowing to the voters of Ciosby
Cuunty: *— "
"This campaign is my first en-
deavor in the political field. I
hope to meet and talk with every
voter in the county "before^ May -
5th. " • ■ '
_rl have not and will not at any
time during the campaign resort
to unethical tactics of any na-
ture. My words and actionc will
not deviate from the normal pat-
tern of my everyday life.
In talking with voters of the
county, I have found that there
are three schools of thought, on
the status of the office I seek as
County Superintendent. Some
feel that the offices hould be a-
bolishcd; others feel that the
duties should be extended; and
a third group thinks that the
present set up of the office is
adequate. Whatever the future-
status of the office becomes, it is
my wish that it should serve the
best interests of the schools of
the county. The office of County
Superintendent should offer im-
partial seryjce to- all citizens of
at 7:30 p.m. each Tuesday and
Thursday. On Sundays, Sunday
school will begin at 10 a.m. ^and

before election, but should I
miss you I take this means to
earnestly solicit your vote and
influence.
Yours truly,
Burt Flowers
the ' office holder IS lionored,
when placed there by his neigh-
bors and fellow- citizens. There
could be many more reasons, but
these I belive to be basic in our
way of life. I also believe that
whether it be local, state, or'
national government, that it is
possible"for an elected official
to stay in office too long, and be-
gin to base decisions less and
less on the desires and wishes
of the people.
If the voters of precinct No. 4
should do me the honor of elect-

,'I shall always strive to keep
their interests at- heart, within
the limitations of my abi'ity and
the law, realizing al j that I

TO THE CITIZENS OF PRE-
CINCT 2. CROSBY COUNTY:
In seeking election to the of-
fice of Commissioner of Precinct
2, I would like to make the fol-
lowing statement:
I feel that there is no need tri
take the time or space to tell
you of my age, family and back-
ground, since most of you know
me personally, having been born
and raised in the county.
I will, if elected, stand tT 4he
best of ability, for the things
that are right, honest, and de-
cent.
I will not make any rash pro-
mises concerning what I will or
will not do, because one Com-
missioner alone cannot accom-
plish anything without the co-
operation of the whole Court. I
do juromise to stand firm on my
beliefs and strive to do 'he
things that will most benefit
this precinct and the county as
a whole.
I will try to get as much pa/e-
ment as the state will allow and
maintain the dirt roads as best
I -can with the money and e-
quipment allotted to this pre-
cinct.

It Is rpy intention to see each
of you personally, but rfi case I
am unable to do so, I would like
for you to consider this as a per-
sonal solicitation of your vote
and influehce.
Sincerely yours,
