Move over Quanah, Chilli-
cothe has its own oil boom.
Chillicothe business people,
lured by the prospects of an oil
field practically in their back
door, talked of the future opti-
mistically Tuesday in a cham-
ber of commerce type meeting
of the Lions Club.
The future did look bright,
but Chillicothe, like Quanah,
seems ill prepared for it. Short-
age of housing is the big prob-
lem. But Chillicothe seems de-
termined to do something about
it.
If prospects can be measured
by enthusiasm, Chillicothe got a
good send-off Tuesday. Some-
how the old rivalry between
Quanah and Chillicothe, even
with a growing oil field be-
tween us, faded in the back-
ground.
Probably as never before,
Quanah and Chillicothe can
serve the best interests of both
towns by working together. The
future of both Hardeman Coun-
ty communities are entwined
closer than most people I'alize.
In attempting to sell or to serv-
ice oil field companies and
allied concerns, Quanah and
Chillicothe could easily form a
Hardeman County chamber of
commerce, if you please, pre-
sent a united front, and work
together in providing housing,
office space and other facilities
and try to make Hardeman
County an oil center in itself.
Any illusions of a Snyder
type oil boom can best be for-
gotten. But at least as long as
production continues, Hardeman
County will be a hot spot of
activity. Both towns can profit
and prosper if the cards are
played right.

The City Council’s plans to
do something about the paving
and drainage problem on city
streets appears to be sound but
it has one painful aspect—it
will cost something. However,
we know of nothing worthwhile
that doesn’t cost something and
if we citizens of Lockney want
the street situation improved in
a permanent way, it behooves
us to co-operate with the Coun-
cil in their street paving and
drainage plan.
You must see the plans and
the specifications of this job to
realize the great amount of de-
tail work that has gone into it.
We have looked them over and
are convinced that the engineers
have done a good job and know
what they are about. Other
cities, such as Floydada and
Tulia, have gone into this prob-
lem and are doing something
or have done something about
drainage.

One thing that practically all
agencies in WashingtQn have in
common is a push for greater
appropriations and greater pow-
er. In agriculture, business,
transportation, communication,
industrial production the ten-
dency is to strive for more au-
thority and more money to
maintain and enforce that au-
thority. This is in all bureau-
cracy.
So one is not surprised that
the U. S. Office of Education is
calling for a five-fold increase
in the personnel of the Office
of Education. The agency heads
do not deny this charge, though
they do deny the charge made
in Congress that they have a
blue print for centralization of
education in this country.

IT’S THE LAW
IN TEXAS
JURY DUTY
Jury duty is an experience
everybody ought to have.
In a criminal case twelve jur-
ors have a duty to do justice as
each one sees it, and yet be
unanimous. In most trials both
sides have much to say, and the
evidence is conflicting. The
twelve jurors vary in their abil-
ity, temperment, character, edu-
cation, and their experience ,in
the world, and in the question
at stake.
Yet a jury of both sexes, with
wide age and educational dif-
ferences, jobs and origins must
all come up with the same ver-
dict. Upon their verdict much
depends—the life or liberty of
others, and the public good. So
it may take them days of talk-
ing among themselves, all to
agree.
Jury duty calls for insight,
common sense, courage, tact,
fairmindedness, patience, (es-
pecially toward the jurors who
disagree with you), good humor,
tolerance, balance, willingness
to hear others out and change
one’s mind, readiness to go over
and over the facts to find
something to bring agreement.
In short, jury duty demands a
“decent respect to the opinions”
of others.
More and more women share
civic duties, especially as jur-
ors. Time was in Texas when
women could not serve on juries.
They still cannot in four states.
A jury finds facts. It hears
and weighs evidence and then
comes to a verdict. It does not
make the law—the legislature
does; and the judge “charges”
or instructs the jury concerning
the law applicable to the par-
ticular case it is considering.
The judge will tell you not
to find the accused guilty until
he is proved so under strict
rules of evidence. If you have
any “reasonable doubt” — not
imaginary or far fetched —
acquit the accused.
Civil cases do not demand a
moral certainty, merely the
“preponderance” of what you
regard as reliable and believ-
able evidence.
UNUSUAL FLOWER
An unusual flower was
brought to the Post by Anita
Rhodes this week. The item
was a green zinnia with small
zennia buds growing from the
petals. Miss Rhodes stated that
the odd flower had been grown
from regular zinnia seeds.
DENIM AND BRASS—Blue
denim takes on a new look in
this sleeveless sheath. Smart
accents are the brass belt
buckle and ornamental button
at the neck. This cotton denim
dress was designed for Alexa
Currey, “America’s Blue Jean
Queen.”

VANDALISM
IS CRITICIZED
IN MAGAZINE
Fortunately for those of us
who respect clean highways, at-
tractive parks and recreation
areas, and the rights of others,
the percentage of people wh<?
keep cleanup crews busy is-
small. What an ugly appear-
ance our great state would have
if all its citizens were as
thoughtless and irresponsible as
the few who dirty up our roads
and recreation areas. These
are the sentiments of Howard
D. Dodgen, executive secretary
of the game and Fish Commis-
sion, in his editorial in the July
issue of Texas Game and Fish.
“There are too many imma-
ture, irresponsible people who
wilfully and maliciously set
about to destroy,” wrote Dod-
gen. “Some seem to do it for
the mere thrill. Others perhaps
think it smart. A few may do
it for personal benefit. What-
ever the motivation, there is no
place for ruthless and needless
vandalism anywhere.”
Some typical examples of
vandalism mentioned are shoot-
ing at mailboxes and signs; the
destruction of trees, shrubs, and
flowers; breaking out windows
in public places, and vacant
houses; or writing names on
walls, carving them into utility
poles, and shooting insulators
of telephone and power lines.
Beaches are left littered with
bottles, melon rinds and un-
used food scraps. There are
actually drivers who will toss
bottles and cans out their win-
dows, as well as tissues and
papers.
“Unfortunately,” writes Dod-
gen, “the guilty ones probably
won’t be reading the editorial.
But, you may be able to help
by reporting the next act of
vandalism you see. After all,
it’s your property they are de-
stroying.”
