or, strolled with them. They
were scattered along the
road In groups of five or
six. t
Friends had taken them a
suitable distance east of
Crosbyton and turned them
out to try the sport which
Pierre Salinger recommends.
Vehicles hovered behind to
pick up the faint hearted or
sore footed.
By 6 p.m., a pitiful rem-
nant of the group could be
seen going grimly west In
the vicinity of Idalou.

TILLMAN BEEVES
Citizens of the Year
Of civic work, Tillman Reeves
yays he feels that he wants to be
a part of th< community in
which he lives/ Reeves was hon
ored as Crosbyton's Citizen of
the Year at the recent Chamber
of Commerce banquet.
Reeves' biggest current civic-
task Is acting as chairman of the
Crosby County Fioneer Memorial
Building. A boa.d member since
it was first organized, he was re
cently given a permanent seat
on the body.
"We didn't realize that we had
fo many persons go through that
thing until we got to counting
up," he says. "In four years, ap
proximately 20000 people have
registered.
"Of those. 7,500 were from
Texas. Thirty seven states and
10 foreign countries were repre
sented. Of course, it is hard to
tell Just how many persons be
cause -some sign 'John Doe and
family' while I'X-al people some-
times get through without regis
tering at all."^-
Recves says "if more people in
the county knew exactly what
we have over there. the registra-
tion list would be a good deal
longer."
He says the Percy and Zina
Lamar Foundation is thinking
of enclosing the space within the
building walls which is now on-
ly tnclsssd by fanes en eaet
side. Foundation has asked the
board to investigate cost. There
are also other elans for expan
slon.
Reeves Is active in many
branches of civic work aside
from the Pioneer Building. He is
a member of Chamber of Com-
merce board of directors.

Latin Worker Plunges From Wall;
Core Trench Below Dam Refilled
The first really serious acci-
dent occurred at White River
Dam last week. Ray Rendon, 18,
slipped and plunged 55 feet
down the side of a wall Feb. 28.
The young Latin suffered a
fractured leg and multiple a-
brasions. Medical attendants
said there were no indications of
other injuries as yet.
Meanwhile, the toughest pan
of White River dam project was
completed when worxmen in-
stalled a clay core trench down
through all the river sand to
prevent underflow of water be-
neath the dam.
The core trench effort, which
' required the first few" months of
I work by contractor Steve Luce,
j was finished February 17. Work
j is now being speeded on actual
cam construction above the
river bed.
Workmen have now almost
j finished refilling ihe trench with
clay.
j The dam is scheduled tenta-
j tively to be closed about Septem-
ber. This estimate allows little
lor unforeseen difficulties.
' Civil Court of Appeals in Am-
arillo has set April 2 for hearing
i of the district's appeal on con-
aemnation award last fall on
purchase of actual dam site
acreage.
