A FIRE IN SUNDOWN at the T.G. Carter home, supposedly caused by an explosion, at about
5:00 p.m. Monday afternoon resulted in the injury of Mr. Carter and his daughter, Neva
Middleton. The fire department was on the scene at 5:15, but the fire was not brought under
control until approximately 6:00 p.m. According to the fire department, the explosion
was caused by a gas leak in the hot water heater. Mr. Carter was treated and released
from the hospital, while his daughter, Neva, remains in South Plains Hospital for treatment
of second and third degree burns on her legs. The house was badly damaged, and most of
the interior was destroyed.

Child Bitten By
Large Rattler
Little Lisa Peters, age3, who
lives two miles from Whiteface,
told her mother, "I only wanted
to pet him,” when she was bit-
ten on the finger by a large
rattlesnake Monday morning,
April 18.
Lisa and her mother, Mrs.
Ralph Peters, were alone at
their farm home when L isa
told her Mother what had hap-
pened. Desperately, Mrs. Pe-
ters called her sister who lives
a few miles away, to come and
take them to the hospital as
she did not have a car at hand.
She then did something which
probably saved the childs life;
she tied a toumaquet above the
bite to keep the poison from
spreading through the blood
stream. In a matter of a few
minutes, L Isa was being given
tests at South Plains Hospital
to find out if she was able to
take the anti-venom serum.
When doctors, Russell, Bar-
nes, and Cuesta, determined
that L isa would, be able to take
the serum, it was started im-
mediately. L ater on that night,
L Isa’s hapd became so swollen
it required surgery. She has
been and still is very ill, but
now there is a good chance
that she will recover complete-
ly.
Lisa is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Ralph Peters of near
Whiteface, and the granddaugh-
ter of Mrs. O.B. Wiley of Le-
velland.
The Peters live about two
miles from Whiteface, near the
Fairview Hiway. It is surmised
that the rattler crawled direct-
ly across the road from ranch
land, into the Peters yard. This
is the time for rattlers to
start coming out of hiberna-
tion and they are even more
deadly than ever when they first
come out. They usually seek
water and food, and as dry as
it has been lately, residents
are warned to watch carefully
for them.
Mr. Peters was working when
Lisa was bitten, after he re-
turned he was unable to find
the rattler - they are still
searching for it.

ive ceremony Miss Smith com-
pared new officers being in-
stalled, to books placed in a
row, on an imaginary shelf.
Until the books are put to use
they are of no use to any one-
■ «so it is, she said, with new

AAUW Hears Mrs. RailsbackPresent
"Operation Head Start" At SPC
“All Americans do not share
in the American dream, but who
are we to say who is culturally
deprived? A child does not have
to be deprived culturally to re-
ceive only a small share of the
benefits that should be the birtlv-
right of every American. A
child may be deprived in other
ways; culturally and education-
ally disadvantaged. Each of us
are deprived in one way or an-
other.” These interesting
statements were made by Ber-
nice Railsback as she spoke to
the AAUW Saturday April 16, in
Texan Hall on the South Plains
College Campus. She went onto
say, the cost, over the nation,
was $94,000,000 with the Fed-
eral government financing 90
percent of the cost.
The goals of this program are
to provide opportunities for
preschool deprived children to
develop language skills and to
build a better self image. Good
Two Residents
Attend Music
Convention
Miss Laura Lee Jones spent
last weekend in Arlington where
she attended the convention of
Texas Federation of Music
Clubs from Sunday through
Tuesday. Miss Jones was the
official delegate of the Level-
land Music Club, which she
served as corresponding sec-
retary. She is also historian
of District 2.
Attending the conventions Jun-
ior Day on Saturday were Mrs.
Monta Moore and daughter,
Dana. Dana played her original
composition, “Chinese Tea”,
on the Junior Day program,
which was made up of young
artists from all over Texas.
Dana’s composition won first
place in district competition
and third place in state in Class
11, ages 10-12, in the junior
composers contest. Dana re-
ceived a certificate and a five
dollar award.
nutrition and proper health are
also head state concerns.
Mrs. James Lattimore and
Roger Mae Smith reported to
the group information on the
Texas Governor and Confer-
ence on Libraries. They said
that the greatest challenge is to
improve and extend Texas lib-
raries. Many children in Tex-
as cannot find a book to satis-
fy their curiosity. We need new
equipment , new methods, and
more properly staffed lib-
raries. A good library is no
longer a luxury but a necess-
ity.
These were interesting and
timely statements referring to
a very real need in our com-
munity and over, all the State
of Texas.
