WANTED: EARLY AREA
THANKSGIVING STORY
What is the earliest Thanksgiving
you can remember? How did the
customs differ in those days from
♦he modern "turkey day?"
The Review would like to write a
feature story on an early Thanks-
giving In this area for the November
26 issue. It will be needed within
the next 10 days. Your assistance
will be appreciated.

WHERE WERE
THE BALLOONS?
Crosbyton High Student Council
had planned to release "a golden
cloud of 400 helium-filled balloons
at the homecoming football game to
cheer the Chiefs and welcome
ex-students." This portion of the
homecoming festivities never came
off . . . and the reason why sounds
more like a story from a fairytale
book.
Students went to Lubbock that
afternoon to receive the helium
filled balloons. Car trouble develop-
ed in the Hub City.
So, an SOS phone call reached
vo-ag teacher Roger Green, who is
always a handy man in an emer-
gency. Green made a hasty trip to
Lubbock. In fact, a highway patrol
twosome thought Green was in too
much of a hurry. He explained his
plight to one of the patrolmen.
“Tell you what," the lawman
replied, “If you'll tell my partner
that same story, I'll let you off
without a ticket. He wouldn't
believe me!"
Finally Green reached Lubbock,
latched onto the balloons and set
sail for Crosbyton. A passing motor-
ist yelled: “Hey, you’re losing your
balloons!" Green must have
muttered something like “and a
happy day to you." But he decided
maybe he had better check.
Guess what, all the balloons had
escaped from the tarped vehicle! Oh
well, homecoming was successful
anyway.

Young Homemakers Ask ‘$1
Per Family’ For Sugarland
Crosbyton Young Homemakers
are asking that each family in the
community contribute S1 to help
finance Sugerland, a Christmas
extravaganza erected on the
Pioneer Memorial Building for
youngsters each December.
A house-to-house canvas was
made this Monday and Tuesday by
Young Homemakers. They ask that
families residing in rural areas or
those in town who were missed and
would like to aesist with the project
please contact Debbie Ball at 675-
2439 or Edith Hilliard at 675-2730
“Young Homemakers and children
of the area appreciate all assis-
tance." officials of the sponsoring
organization say.
OPENS DECEMBER 6
Sugarland will open its third
season December 6, when Santa
Claus makes his first pre-Christmas
visit to Crosbyton. Old Santa's
house will again be one of the
Sugarland highlights.
Young Homemakers point out
that “if every family wilt contribute
S1, this will allow for maintenance
and additions to Sugarland this
year.” Hundreds of youngsters
have enjoyed the Christmas
fantasyland in each of its first two
years.
High Plains anglers have another
fish to put on their list as the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department has
stocked 14,000 three-inch fingerling
redfish in White River Lake.
Experimental stockings of these
normally saltwater fish across Texas
is just one of the P&WD fisheries
projects. If the White River "reds"
grow as rapidly as other redfish
have in southern Texas, anglers
fishing in 1978 could be fighting
tackle busting 30 or 40 pounders.
"We picked White River because
' it has an abundant supply of forage
fish such as silverside minnows and
shad," says Roy Bamberg, Abilene
Fishery biologist.
DEPOSITED AT NIGHT
The transported redfish were
delivered to White River near
midnight and with the assistance of
Warden Bub Howell, the redfish
*Kwere conditioned from salt or saline
water to freshwater with the opera-
tions being completed by 5 a.m.
Bambert states that these redfish
are the same species as the popular
"bull" reds caught along the Texas
coast. The redfish has shown a
tolerance to freshwater If the
successful spawning and rearing
conditions continue at the P&WD
Palacios marine fisheries station,
more redfish could be stocked
across Texas.
BAITS ADVISED
Coastal fishermen have been
successful catching redfish using
gold or silver spoons, medium-
running plugs and shrimp. “Fresh-

Chiefs At New Deal In Friday ‘Shootout’
Championship On Line
New Deal's Lions, the final
hurdle standing between the
Cinderella Chieftains and either a
district championship or a co-
championship, are "quick, strong
and tougl?." This is Coach Tommie
Paddock's evaluation of the Purple
and Gold’s last regular season foe.
The two district powerhouses
square off at 8 p.m. Friday night In
New Deal.
They enter the “big shootout”
with 4-1 loop records, the same as
Petersburg. New Deal would win or
share the title with a Friday night
victory and would advance to the
bi-district against Hart. A Chieftain
victory would leave them tied with
Petersburg, if the Buffaloes take out
Ralls, and would leave Petersburg
as the district playoff representa-
tive. A Crosbyton triumph over New
Deal, coupled with a Ralls upset of
Petersburg, would leave the Chief-
tains as district champs.
EVERYTHING TO GAIN
"We will be champs or co-
champs by winning Friday night,”
says Coach Paddock. “We have
everything to gain by winning."
Although he has a profound
respect for New Deal - "They beat
Petersburg!" -- Paddock is optimis-
tic about his team which rebounded
from a loss at Petersburg with a
66-0 homecoming triumph over
Ralls. The Chieftains are “working
real hard” this week.
A football championship or co-
championship would be the first for
the Tribe in nine years.
What must the Chieftains do to
down the rugged Lions, who bring a
6-3 season into the tilt? “WE must
keep from fumbling and being
intercepted," Paddock believes. He
notes that New Deal is particularly
talented and aggressive on defense.

$46,644,000 Total Receipts
From Farm Products In 1974
A total of $1,430,947,000
cam# to 25 High Plains
counties In cash receipts
from farm sales in 1974,
"down from what probably
Is the all-time high of
$1,799,103,000 from 1973
sales," says Plains Cotton
Gwoers, Inc. These figures
Include government pay-
ments totaling $79,896,000
In 1974 and $177,205,000 In
1973.
According 1o the PCG
figures, compiled from a
statewide report from the
Texas Crop and Livestock
Reporting Service, Crosby
County had $46,644,000 in
total receipts from farm
products In 1974 compared
with $66,315,000 the
previous year.
Crops accounted for
$38,012,000 and livestock
figures were $4,670,000.
Croeby County ranked
15th among the 25 South
Plains counties served by
Plains Cotton Growers, Inc.
Neighboring counties
and their agricultural
receipts from farm' com-
modities for 1974: Lubbock,
$99,977,000; Floyd,
$71,684,000; Garza,
$17,824,000; and Dickens,
$15,724,000.
"The facts In this report
emphasize the tremendous
wealth that Is agriculture In
this area," notes PCG Exe-
cutive Vice President
Donald Johnson, adding
“and the figures are even
more impressive when It is
considered that agriculture
Is the world’s only source of
new wealth.”
The High Plains’ contri-
bution to the state total for
the two years came to 23.8
per cent and 26.1 per cent,
respectively, with the
Plains area having seven of
the top 10 income produc-
ing counties In the state for
1974.
"It should be kept In
mind that the flgufes are
cash marketings for the
calendar year, not to be
confused with the crop year
value of salos. The 1974
calendar year cash receipts
result from some market-
ings of 1973 crop# sold In
1974 as well as marketings
of 1974 production, and
1973 receipts Include the
sale of some 1972 produc-
tion,” Plains Cotton Grow-
ers, Inc., emphasizes.

water fishermen would be wise to
try the same baits in White River,"
Bamberg advises
Redfish inhabit both shallow and
deep water According to Bamberg,
the redfish should not significantly
compete with the resident large-
mouth bass
A coastal legal length restriction
of 14 inches will not apply to the
freshwater stockings of redfish as
there is no need to protect the brood
stock. Anglers will be allowed to
keep the redfish they catch, but the
P&WD does not expect any “eating
size'’> reds from White River before
next summer.
Lions Blood

Crosbyton Lions Club is
sponsoring a biood drive

full-time students) may
incur within the six-months
period following your dona-
tion.”
Most persons can easily
