Anderson
Announces
For Sheriff
Ray Anderson announced
Wednesday that he will be a
candidate for Sheriff of Bell
County with the following
announcement.
After careful consideration
and the urging of many
concerned citizens of Bell
County who have asked me
to seek the office of Sheriff I
am this date announcing my
decision to be a candidate for
Sheriff of Bell County subject
to the Democratic Primary
in May of 1980.
At 44 years of age I offer
my 23 years of experience to
the citizens as Chief
Criminal Investigator of the
District Attorney's Office a
Texas Highway Patrolman
and as a former Chief Deputy
Sheriff. My tenure in these
positions along with my
training in the F.B.I.
National Academy the
Texas Department of Public
Safety and my Bachelor of
Science Degree In Criminal
Justice can best be utilized to
upgrade the office of Sheriff
to better serve all the people
of the county in a more
progressive and efficient
manner.
During the last decade I
have seen many changes In
Bell County. Our rnpld
growth our expanding
economy and to our
dismay an Increase in crime.
If we are to continue to
grow and prosper in the 80's
it is imperative that we keep
abreast of the changing times
and not stand still. The
people of this county must
have the assurance of a
capable Sheriff's Depart-
ment that is responsive to
their needs.
I am firmly convinced the
citizens of this county want to
move forward knowing they
have a good sound and
dedicated county law en
forcement agency to protect
them along with a crime
prevention program that will
benefit every age group.
I look forward to the
challenge ahead and to

Financial
Aid Meet
Planned
High school students face
many uncertainties as they
look ahead and plan for the
future. One of the most
common and complex of
these is the problem of how to
meet the rising cost of
postsecondary education.
A financial aid information
meeting is planned for
seniors npd their parents of
Academy Bartlett Holland
and Salado High Schools on
Tuesday December 4th at
7:00 p.m. in the Holland
Cafetorium by Jean Mar-
shall Co-op Counselor. High
school juniors and their
parents are invited also so
they can become familiar
with the proccedure of
seeking financial aid.
The financial aid packets
will be available at the
meeting. These packets can
be filled out after January
1st.
With billions of dollars
available each year for
financial aid it is no
exaggeration to say that any
qualified student who really
needs money for school can
get it.. If he or she tries. The
key is to start early and
explore all possibilities
throughly.
The sophomore class of
Bartlett High School will
sponsor a Bake Sale on
Saturday December 1 from
9 to 12 noon. The sale will be
held at Franz Red & White.
There will be cakes

Pictures
Retaken
Moore Serious
BynONNIEPERSKY
With the 1979 Texas
Operaland season coming to
a close with the final per-
formance last Saturday
director J. E. Moore Jr. is
already preparing for 1980
Moore said in an Interview
recently that his preparation
is part of a total program in
which he is Involved.
One of his objectives is to
become one of the most in-
formed people In the country
and perhaps the world on the
subject of violins.
His Interest is both
historical and technical.
Although he has played the
fiddle since boyhood his
serious interest in the subject
really started In 1977 when he
began contemplating
retirement from the business
world It was then that he
began attending various
festivals around the country
to "see what was going on in
the fiddle world" and to
"sharpen up the ear".
He decided to take up
restoring old instruments
which he now describes as a
chief hobby. It followed
logically that he should begin
purchasing many fiddles
which he did. Included were
various collections which he
acquired.
Moore joined several
organizations In his search
for knowledge of the violin
including the Guild of
American Luthiers (instrument-makers)
The
Violin Society of America
the Violin Makers
Association and the Texas
Old Time Fiddlers

Association.
He recently attended the
7th Meeting of the Violin
Society held at the
Smithsonian Institute in
Washington D.C. Many
historically significant in-
struments were on display at
the meeting.
"Based on what I've
learned to this point the
violin is one of the items of
which the general public has
the least amount of
knowledge of any one thing I
know of' Moore commented
adding that this was due
largely to the fact that violin
craftsmen closely guard
their secrets much like
famous chefs or barbecue
makers.
He said there are three
ways to value a violin. One is
commercial value or playing
value where quality of the
sound produced is important.
Another Is collectors' value
which applies to instruments
sought for their historical
significance and not for
playing. A third type of value
'1? sentimental value often
found when an instrument
has remained in a family for
a long period of time.
In his quest for information
about violins Moore has
accumulated one of the most
impressive private libraries
on the subject in the nation.
In fact his personal library
contains more information on
violins than most university
libraries.
Moore said he studies the
information intently often
reading till past midnight.
Apparently the effort Is

About Fiddling
paying off ns Jimmy Don
Bates of Austin recently won
the state fiddle championship
playing an instrument which
had been restored by Moore.
Using his newly-acquired
technical knowledge Moore
has just designed and is in the
process of building his own
violin from scratch.
His plans for the year 1980
include a tour of the "violin
trail" in Europe. He intends
to trace the violin from its
primitive beginnings to the
present which will take him
'through Italy Germany
France and England.
With all his study Moore
said he has come to realize
there are a lot of things
people do not know about
violins.
For instance slrndivarius
made violins In the 17th and
18th century which have not
been even matched for
quality much less surpassed.
Modern technology has not
been able to discover the
secret of the old master's
success.
In addition to his research
and study of violins Moore is
busy making plans for his
newly purchased buildings
in downtown Bartlett
Currently roof work is
taking place on many of the
buildings.
"Our objective Is to have
them ready to be used by
next spring" he said.
He is hoping that the
buildings can house some
specialty shops which will be
part of a Bartlett Trade Fair.
Moore plans to lease most
of the buildings but would

Concerning the renovation

says he is part of a team that
includes the whole town and
the support of the people of
Bartlett is "vitally im-

succeed.
"What we're attempting to
do here has been done in
some other areas and done

concluded.
