THE HOWE ENTERPRISE
February 16, 1978
150
Last week in Dallas a store owner was robbed and
murdered in his small grocery store. This has become a
common occurrence these days. As the television stations
and newspapers in the Dallas area covered the story, they
focused on the man’s distraught daughter in her grief
over her father’s death.
Often it seems tv and newspapers in seeking new angles
to cover stories invade what should be private. A
daughter’s grief over her father’s death is very personal.
It is not for public view especially to the eyes of the world
already hardened against emotional feelings.
Why is it that some reporters must always be poking
microphones in the faces of people for their "reaction"?
And cameras are clicking or rolling to be sure to catch
that reaction.
Often when children are kidnapped or missing, the
cameras are there probing for every last drop of emotion
from the parents, lingering just a little too long on people
who are already very upset and unnerved. There the
reporters are aking very personal, very private questions.
In their search for a sensational story, reporters for tv
and/or newspapers go everywhere and some don’t seem
to care about invading the privacy of people.
A few women sports reporters have yelled "discrim-
ination" when refuse entry to the football teams' locker
rooms for after the game interviews. Is it discrimination if
the players would like privacy for showering and
changing clothes? (And don’t forget the other side of this
question • if women reporters are allowed in the men’s
locker rooms, then men reporters should be allowed in
the ladies’ locker rooms. What women would stand for
this?)
The question in responsible journalism is where does
the right to freedom of press end and the right of
individual privacy begin?
Speaking of women’s rights, the Equal Rights Amend-
ment suffered another defeat last week in South Carolina.
Supporters of the amendment are beginning to panic.
They have only one more year to get it ratified.
These ERA people are trying to get the time limit
extended. They are getting groups to boycott states that
haven’t approved the amendment. Sounds like they are
getting desperate. Changing the rules in the middle of
the game and blackmail hardly seem the kind of tools for
passing a law that "we need."
Or do we need it? There are already laws against
discrimination on the basis of sex, color, religion, etc. It
would seem that the ERA is superfluous.
Opponents of the ERA make some valid points on the
possible problems that could come about if it is passed.
Supporters say we must have it to guarantee equal rights
for all. ‘
All people in our country are entitled to the same
treatment under the law, but the rights of one person
should not infringe on the rights of another.
Once again the city of Howe is finding itself snowed in.
However, schools in Howe decided to go ahead and meet
Wednesday morning despite a three to four inch snow
that blanketed the area. The buses ran late with school
starting at 9:30 a.m. At least this is one day that won’t
have to be made up.
' Howe has missed seven days total and have very few
options for making up the lost days unless the school year
is shortened by the State. The students have had a ball
playing in the snow lately, but they wouldn’t like it very
much if they have to go to school in the summer to make
up for these "fun" days.

Mrs. Malone Celebrates
94th Birthday
Mrs. J.E. (Arrie) Malone
celebrated her 94th birthday
on Saturday, Feb. 11. Her
children and a number of
friends from Howe helped in
the celebration at the
Sherman Nursing Center.
Mrs. Malone was born near
the town of Whitewright in
1884. She married J.E.
Malone in 1902 and moved
to Howe where Mr. Malone
went to work for Blackburn
and Slaughter, a hardware
store.
The Malones lived in south
Howe on what is now Denny
Street. In 1919 or 1920 they
bought their first house on
the corner of Tutt and Bean
where Mrs. Malone lived
until she moved to the
Sherman Nursing Center.
During their years in Howe
the Malones were in the
grocery business for 27
years. Mrs. Malone also
took orders for flowers for
the Home of Flowers from
1932 until about five years
ago.
Mrs. Malone has four
children, James Malone of
Dallas, Faye Malone Oliver
of Sachse, Texas, Paul
Malone of Bedford, and
Ruby Malone McDonough of
Dallas. She also has nine
grandchildren and six great-
grandchildren.
THe children remember
that when in school, there
was a closed campus lunch
hour policy and their mother
preferred that they come
home for lunch - a two block
walk. She walked all over
Howe with a petition and got
enough signatures to get the
policy changed.
In her 94 years the farthest
Mrs. Malone has been from
her place of birth was
Orange, Texas.
Her life has been spent
helping others. Many a pot
or soup and hand made quilt
has been given to neighbors
in need. Even now visitors to
Mrs. Malone may be asked
to stop in another room to
see someone she thinks
needs a visit.
Mrs. Malone is a faithful
Christian lady, attending the
Howe Church of Christ until
moving to the nursing home.
One friend even remarked
that Mrs. Malone always
offers thanks to the Lord for
her meals no matter how
much confusion may be in
the room at the time.
Roberts Pleads For
Farmer’s Plight
As the lead-off witness for
hearings on the farm situa-
tion before the U.S. House
Committee on Agriculture,
congressman Ray Roberts
stressed that ‘‘our farmers
are facing a very real finan-
cial crisis of decreasing
prices and escalating costs"
ancT reaffirmed his support-
for legislation leading to an
equitable and durable solu-
tion to the farmer’s econom-
ic plight.
Roberts cited a number of
facts about the agriculture
crisis to the committee as it
considered legislation to
resolve the current financial
crunch. 1
The McKinney Democrat
stated that ‘‘we need con-
structive legislation to
achieve long-lasting solu-
tions. Without immediate
steps to improve farm prices
we may well find ourselves
without enough farmers to
feed ourselves in the not too
distant future."
Roberts and Chairman of
the House Agriculture com-
mittee Tom Foley (D-Wash.)
have endorsed a resolution
calling on government to
move toward a parity pro-
gram for farmers.
The hearings have been set
for five morning and four
afternoon sessions and are
currently scheduled through
the month of February.
‘‘I am delighted and
honored to have been se-
lected as the first congress-
man to testify in these very
significant hearings which
mean so much to the future
of American agriculture. The
other witnesses have includ-
ed distinguished Members
of Congress and representa-
tives of the agriculture
community, ’ ’
THe scouts will be picking
up old newspapers on Sat.,
Feb. 25, beginning at 10
a.m. Please leave your
sacked or bundled papers at
the curb.
People living in the apart-
ments or trailer park who
have papers for the scouts
should call Wanda Taylor at
532-6287 to insure that the
papers will be picked up.
The scouts appreciate the
continued support of those
who save papers for them.
