A
As we watched the first
football game of the season last
week, 1 thought how lucky
today’s coeds are. Or are they?
Under the new regulations for
intercollegiate athletics, issued
by the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare,
“opporl unities for women in
competitive sports” are
considerably broadened. Does
that mean if a coed wants to
try out for quarterback all she
has to do is perform better
than any of the males vying for
the spot? Or could it be that
the girl who was a sport whiz
in high school can be
conscripted to play if there are
no male whizzes trying out?
ft makes one think. Schools
may still have separate teams
for males and females “or a
single team open to both
sexes.” II the school chooses,
then, it can tell the girls who're
interested in football, golf or
tennis: “If enough of you want
to play to make up a team
you’ll get equipment and
supplies the same as the men.”
Supposedly, the new rulings
are designed merely to stop
such discrimination as “the
football team traveling by
plane while the women’s field
hockey team has to hold a
bake sale to raise money for
uniforms.” But what if the
school decides to turn tables
and put coeds on varsity teams
whether or no?
Young women being as
independent as they are these
days, there’ll surely be some
who insist on their right to go
out for the varsity baseball or
soccer team on the basis of
their sandlot prowess of high
school days. But for the likes
of me, who wouldn't even spar
with my little brother when we

Christmas
Decoration
Sale Planned
Kermit Opportunity School
and Winkler County Council
for Retarded Children will kick
off their annual Christmas
Decorations Sale, Tuesday
morning, Oct. 1, by ringing
telephones.
Each year, beginning on
Oct. 1, and continuing all
through the month of October,
personnel of the school, the
council and a number of
“friends of the school” begin
calling everyone in Kermit and
Wink listed in the current
telephone directory to take
orders for evergreen
decorations. The decorations
consist of wreaths, holly,
decorator kits and garlands and
are fresh from the state of
Washington. “As opposed to
everything else,” Mrs. Ray
Evans, director of Opportunity
School, said, “we have not
gone up on our prices,
although our cost is greater
than it has been in the past.”
Orders taken this month
will be sent to Sherwood
Forest Farms the first of
November, and be delivered to
Kermit on or before Dec. 10.
In turn, they will be delivered
to the door of-the purchaser
within two days.
Profits from the sale go
toward the support of
Opportunity School. This year
the school must raise SI,500 as
its part of a grant the school
has received.
New residents of Kermit
and Wink, who are not listed in
the telephone directory, or
anyone who is missed, are
asked to call the Opportunity
School, 586-3896, on weekday
mornings. Mrs. Evans may be
reached afternoons at
586-2935 or Mrs. Ditto at
586-2914.
Opportunity School is a
school for persons who,
because of mental or physical
disabilities, cannot attend the
public schools. Students may
range from the age of 5 years
to no limit. This is the only
school of this type in Winkler
County and has been in
operation since February 1962.
The building is furnished and
kept in good repair by the
Kermit Rotary Club, and the
school is supported by the sale
of Christmas decorations,
support through the Abilene
State School, gifts from friends
and a small share of the United
Fund.
“We have open house every
day and invite anyone who is
interested to come by and visit
any week-day morning
between the hours of 8 and 1 1
a.m,” Mrs. Evans said.
At the present time there
are five students enrolled,
between the ages of 5 years
and 18 years old. The School is
located at 212 North Mulberry
Street.

Ralph G. Martin
Never in history had a love
affair so stirred the imagination
of so many millions of people
all over the world. But then,
never before had the king and
emperor of the greatest empire
in the world given up his
throne to marry the woman he
loved.
Ralph G. Martin, author of
the best-selling Jennie: The
Life of Lady Randolph
Churchill, has written the first
lull story of the romance of
the century. It is a dual
biography of the girl from
Baltimore, Wallis Warfield, and
the Prince Charming of the
World, whose heart she had
captured.
Filled with new facts and
never-told-before stories, The
Woman He Loved is an
unauthorized biography that
tells the final truth about the
greatest love story of our time.
DUTCH UNCLE by Marilyn
Durham
The author of The Man Who
Loved Cat Dancing tells
another tale of the Old West.
Dutch Uncle is a lighthearted
yarn about a gunslinger who,
against his better judgment and
instincts, is corralled into
adopting two orphans, settling
down as a sheriff, and marrying
a respectable spinster in a
rough mining town.
THE GOOD SHEPHERD by
Thomas Fleming
“I have not sought or
desired this new ministry,”
Pope John XXIII once wrote.
For Matthew Mahan the
knowledge that he could say
the same made his selection by
John’s successor as one of five
new American Cardinals the
ultimate triumph in a life
dedicated to the Church. But
that triumph soon becomes
painfully hollow in this moving
novel of Matt’s struggles to
fulfill his new office in the face
of bitter personal and public
conflicts that threaten to make
a mockery of his priesthood.
Probing the highest
inner-workings of the
contemporary Catholic Church
and the ferment which divides
it, The Good Shepherd is an
extraordinary story of a decent
man driven to the breaking
point by his role as a man of
God in a world of men.
THE GOLDEN SENTINELS
by Ruth McCarthy Sears
“Faces I have loved come
back to haunt me in the night
like misty ha If-forgotten
melodies, sometimes in dreams,
sometimes in nightmares. And
always the place is
Grangerfjord.” Thus begins this
tale of a mythical kingdom to1*
which Megan came as a
stranger and which soon held
her in thrall with chains too
strong for mortal to break.
Two nice books were
presented to the library by the
James Cloud Family: Nature
Atlas of America by Robert C.
Clement, given in memory of
Fred Garrett, and The Black
West by William Loren Katy,
given in memory of Randall
Jordan, brother of Mrs. Henry
Walker. ,
You And Your Home
BY MARY A. SCOTT, CEA
Those first hectic weeks of change in daily routine and his
adjusting to a new baby in the
house are complicated by the
fact that your infant is
distinctly individual.
Each infant reacts
differently to parents, other
people and his immediate
environment.
Parents should be alert to
their infant’s temperamental
immediate surroundings. Some
babies are more sensitive than
others to light, noises,
temperature changes, and taste
and texture of food variations.
- The infant’s regularity in
eating, sleeping, waking and
elimination.
7 A baby’s general mood
during his waking hours and
characteristics and conscious of the intensity of his response to
their own expectations of the interaction with others.
newborn.
Each baby’s temperament is
different from that of siblings.
If parents try to compare his
behavior to brothers and sisters
when they were the same age,
they see his difference.
Parents are more likely to
understand and enjoy their
baby when they can discuss
personal feelings and
observations of the infant’s
behavior. This helps eliminate
unrealistic ideas about child
rearing.
Family members will enjoy
and understand the baby more
if they are alert to the baby’s
temperamental characteristics.
Some of the signs of the
baby's behavior to notice are:
— How active the infant is
and how quickly he adjusts to
How attentive and
persistent the infant is.
Some infants may be easily
distracted by sounds or sights,
while others may be intent on
some activity for long periods.
None of these
characteristics is either good or
bad. They just indicate a need
for different responses from
parents.
Adjustments to a new baby
in the house will be smoother
and happier when family
members understand what kind
of person their new baby is.
