Cattlemen
Plan Meeting
On Petition
' The Grayson County Chapter
of the Texas Independent Cat-
tlemen’s Association will hold
a county-wide meeting some-
time within the next six weeks
to begin a drive for petitions to
Congress to stop cattle im-
ports.
Joe King of Howe, one of the
directors of the organization,
said that there are now 300
members of the association in
Grayson County, and he ex-
pects the membership to be
larger by the time the meeting
is held.
The Board of Directors held a
meeting in Howe recently to
make initial plans for the
membership meeting.
King said one of the main
goals of the association “is to
make the public aware of what
they are buying in the way of
imported meat. Very little im-
ported meat is inspected by
anyone, whereas all domestic
meat is inspected by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture.”
State officials of the Cattle-
men’s Association have made
several trips to Washington in
an effort to get something
done about imports, but so far
ave had no success.
The Howe Chamber of Com-
merce will hold a general
membership meeting at 7 p.m.
tonight (Thursday) at the high
school library to make plans
for the annual banquet, tent-
atively planned for sometime
in March, and also begin dis-
cussion of a work program for
the remainder of 1975 and part
of 1976.
New Chamber President Dale
Rideout said among the items
to be discussed will be plans
for Howe’s participation in the
American Revolution Bicen-
tennial Celebration, the an-
nual Fall Festival, a city park,
and other projects.
The Howe Bulldogs, fresh
from a Big win over Sanger
Friday and an insurance vic-
tory over Frisco Tuesday,
moved into first place in the
District 14-A race this week—
with an assist from Sanger.
Sanger came from behind in
the last minute of play Tues-
day night to down surprising
Pottsboro, 52-49, knocking the
Cardinals out of the top spot in
the second half district race.
Howe now only has to defeat
Van Alstyne Friday night at
Van to cop the second half title
and gain a playoff with Sanger
for the overall championship.
Coach Ricky Clements said
Wednesday that as far as he is
concerned, “the Van game is
our biggest of the year. ’ ’
Van which has been less than
impressive most of the season,-
has turned in a couple of upset
wins, including one over Potts-
boro, that indicate the poten-
tial is there to spoil the Howe
playoff plans. And, Clements
pointed out, you can always
count on the Panthers playing
tough against Howe.
The game is scheduled to
start at 7:30 Friday in the Van
Alstyne gym, preceded by a
B-team game at 6.
Should Howe come out on top
in Friday’s contest, the Howe
and Sanger coaches will meet
either Saturday or Monday to
select a date and place for a
district playoff. Clements said
the game would probably be
either next Tuesday or Thurs-
day on a neutral court.
“But I’m not thinking about
that now,” he emphasized.
“The big thing is to beat Van
Friday.”
The Bulldogs last Friday
played before a packed house
in Howe and managed to pull
out a 58-51 win over powerful
Sanger after what initially
looked like a runaway win for
the Bulldogs.
At half-time, Howe held a
16-point lead, 32-16, and early
in the. third quarter they in-
creased the margin to 22
points before mistakes nearly
caused them to blow it.
With two minutes to go in the
game, Sanger had pulled with-
in two points, but the Bulldogs
managed to regain their cool
and pull ahead again.
“We kept two men down the
floor and three on the offen-
sive boards, and managed to
pretty well stop Sanger’s fast
break,” Clements said. “Stop-
ping the break is the key to
beating Sanger.”
David Davis scored 20 to lead
the Bulldogs, Ronny Davis hit
for 18, Vincent Hash 15, Mar-
vin Cate 4 and Charles Landes
1.
Tuesday night the Bulldogs
had a relatively easy time of it
against Frisco in a road game,
downing the Coons, 63-48.
Howe held a 26-point lead,
36-10, at half-time, and in the
second half the substitutes
saw a lot of action.
Hash led the Bulldog scoring
with 27, David Davis had 25,
Ronny Davis 6, Landes 2,
Mike Hall 2 and Tony Wall 2.
Clements said Ronny Davis,
normally a double figure scor-
er, didn’t get many chances to
shoot in the game. “He played
a good game, but Hash and
Dave Davis were both real hot,
and 1 told them to shoot
away.”
The varsity girls, playing
their last game of the season
Tuesday, made it 4-1 for the
second half to district play by
downing Sanger, 38-33, for
their fourth straight win. The
girls, by coming on strong at
the finish of the season, ended
up with a 12-17 record.
Once again, Clements credit-
ed the turnaround to improved
defensive work by the guards.
High scorer for Howe was
Diana Lankford with 23. Terri
McDaniel had 7, Donna Tram-
mell 6 and Hope Rayburn 2.
Forward Debbie Adams was ill
and did not play.
Howe Woman Hurt

This is the Way We Brush Our Teeth
. and Floss 'Em. Too
i
* .jj
unei
Two!
Three!
All together, now—Brush!
That’s something like the way it goes these
days just after lunch for the two fifth grades at
Howe Middle School.
The fifth grade students of Mrs. Bess Shields
and Mrs. Clara Easter are spending two weeks
learning the proper procedures of brushing and
flossing their teeth by actually doing it.
And, this may come as a surprise to some of
the parents who have fought a losing battle
getting the children to brush at home, but the
kids love it.
“I can guarantee you that when we end the
program this week, the kids will say they miss
coming in from lunch and brushing their
teeth,” said Mrs. Easter.
“But what we are trying to do is show them
how to do the job properly at school and hope it
carries over into the home.
Howe, which first tried the actual learning
experience in dental care two year's ago,
doesn’t claim to be original in the idea by any
means, but Howe schools were among the first
in the area to try it on such a formalized scale.
Since Howe first tried it, schools all over the
area, including Dallas, have taken up the
practice.
Each student has a cup and tooth brush at
school and they “dry brush” (no toothpaste)
their teeth as soon as they return, from the
cafeteria. Then each student gets a strand of
dental floss and finishes the job.
Actually, the program is a follow-up to a visit
by a local nurse last fall as part of health class.
She demonstrated proper dental hygiene.
When the program ends Friday, each student
will be given the toothbrush to take home, and
a tube of toothpaste supplied by a toothpaste
manufacturer.
Then the problem begins. How do mom and
pop get junior to brush his teeth?
