It would certainly be worth your
time and gasoline to drive after
dark around Comanche and look at
the homes that are so beautifully
lighted and decorated.
We wish we knew who lived in
all the houses that caught our eye
so we could list them here and save
you time hunting them, but we
can't.
However, be sure to go out F.M.
Road 2247, The houses are
gorgeous. Be sure and catch the
first house decorated on the right;
the theme is bound-to-be an “old
fashioned Christmas in the Coun-
try”.
A trip through Indian Creek
Addition is impressive. The Gyale
Pirkles, Jim Carpenters, Robert
Cobbs, Dorene Pinkerton, Dick
Armstrongs, Jackie Feist, Dur-
ward Hazzards, Buddy Hicks,
Houston Robertsons are all
decorated and/or lighted.
The traffic stopper is at the
Robertsons. Houston, or Bally as
he is better known, made the
sleigh and reindeer year before
last, the doves holding the
season's greetings last year, and
the manger scene this year.
He says anyone who wants to
take pictures of a child sitting in
the sleigh are welcome to do so.

in The Comanche Chief a couple
weeks ago and told us personally
of a recent experience she had at
one of the two popular malls in
West Fort Worth. During the noon
hour - broad day-light mind you -
she was roughed up and her purse
snatched.
Former pastor of Comanche's
First United Methodist Church,
John Lukert, was confronted by
• four men in Ft. Worth, again
during the mid-day hours, and was
robbed of his watch and billfold.
Lukert was leaving a Colonial
