But the Tigers brushed aside further
Howe efforts and racked up three more
scores of their own in the final half.

regulations for picking up dogs, fees, or
disposal methods have been established.
Hasty told council members he had
received 15 complaints in the last month
over loose dogs in the city. Hasty said
that a loose dog, licensed or not, was still
a potential hazard, particularly to
children and the elderly.
“A dog may or may not bite,” Hasty
said. “But an 80-year-old person has no
way of knowing. Some people are afraid
to walk a block from their home to the
grocery store.”
But although the council discussed
passing a leash law which would require
all dogs to be confined or leashed, no
motion was made. “Without a leash law
we are not allowed to pick up dogs that
are properly licensed, complaint or not,”
Mayor Smith said. The topic was tabled
pending an inquiry to other communities
on their dog control policies. Regulations
and a fine system are scheduled to be
established at their next council meeting.
The old problem of trash collection
also came under scrutiny by council
members. Trash pickup was working
smoothly, Mayor Smith told the council.
“The problem,” he said, “is money.”
City secretary Helen Billner indicated
the three-times weekly downtown trash
pickup alone was costing the city over
$100 in labor costs every week. Exact
costs for the city-wide trash pickup were
not available, but secretary Billner
indicated that it was probably higher per
day (there are four city-wide trash pickup
days, two for the south and two for the
north) than the downtown pickup.
Poor equipment and reluctance of
many individuals to put their trash into
suitable containers was cited as the cause
of the problem. Mayor Smith said that
the present truck being used had too high
a bed, requiring a man to stay in the
truck bed and assist two men loading.
Bulky loads require several trips, he
added.
A possible solution to the problem was
offered by Jerry Squires, owner of a
truck rebuilding company in Dallas.
Squires offered to sell or lease the city a
rebuilt garbage truck with a packing and
dumping device. Squires said the truck
would require less men to load, carry
almost double present truck volume and
unload trash faster. A demonstration of
the vehicle in Whitewright was scheduled
for Tuesday morning. Squires also offers
a trash pickup service, and the council

Tigers fullback Philip Huffman carrying
the last 8 yards for a TD. Marvin
Arteberry set up Huffman’s carry when
he earned a first down on third and 12
from the Bulldog’s 22. E.J. Durham
kicked the PAT.
The Tigers scored twice more
second quarter to put the game out of
reach for the Bulldogs. Huffman slammed
into the end zone from one yard out,
capping a 60-yard drive the hard way -
all on the ground.
Punt return man Marvin Arteberry
almost allowed a Howe punt to roll dead
shortly before the end of the first half -
almost but not quite. Arteberry picked
up the ball on a full run and streaked
down the sideline for a 65-yard
touchdown. The run marked Arteberry as
the district’s premier punt return man.
The Bulldogs tried to come back in the
third quarter, scoring on a 3-yard run by
Robert Trotter at the end of a 60-yard
drive.
In other action the council:
* Tabled a decision to purchase
uniforms costing $145.55 for the city
police until the next meeting.
* Announced that the city now has
24-hour police protection. Leroy
Duquette, former police chief, has been
added to the police staff as a night
policeman.
* Agreed to contact officials of the
National Association for Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals for recommendations
concerning care and disposal of animals in
the city pound.

enrollment reached a record high last
week as 2,959 students were reported
registered for courses at the end of
registration period, 140 more than the
1970 fall total. The figure is just short of
the 3,000 mark officials had predicted.
According to Registrar Frank Graves,
this year’s total represents 1,418 day
students, compared with last year’s
1,323, an increase of 95, while the total
Evening Division enrollment is 1,216,
compared to last year’s 1,196.
Full-time students, those taking at
least 12 semester hours, total 1,398, only
two more than the number enrolled for
part-time work, 1,396.
Only two bids were received lot the
resurfacing of the high school driveways.
Board members declined to open the two
bids until a third bid was made.
High school principal Mac Woodruff
asked the school board to consider paying
teachers called to jury duty their regular
salary while paying substitute teacher fees
from school funds. School teachers had
been exempt from jury duty until this
year, Woodruff toid the board. Board
members tabled the topic pending a
review of policies taken by other schools
in regard to teachers serving jury duty.
Four members of the local Parent
Teachers Association also attended the
board meeting. PTA President LaVerle
Mathis asked the board to build new
restroom facilities for elementary
students claiming the present facilities
were antiquated, impossible to keep clean
and unhealthy.

the board, although the PTA was unable
to pay the complete cost of new
restrooms for the students. The Board
agreed that the facilities were in need of
replacement and agreed to seek estimates
for building of new elementary school
rest rooms.
A bid of 14.45 cents per-gallon for
regular gasoline was accepted from the
AtlanticRichfield Company, as well as a
bid of 97 cents a gallon for motor oil.
Board members also voted to join
Region 10 Educational Service Center, a
state facility which provides audio-visual
aids such as films and tapes.
A new dress code for Whitewright
Schools was adopted on a trial basis by
the school board. The code was designed

highlighted the Whitewright
Board’s meeting Tuesday night.
School superintendent
Montgomery told the board members the
school cafeteria was currently serving
250-300 students daily, stretching the
capabilities of the three lunchroom
employees. Board members agreed to hire
another cafeteria employee on a part-time
basis to handle the overload.
Board members also approved the
purchase of equipment costing
approximately $1,000 for the junior high
school, including a water fountain,
copying machine and electric duplicator.

delayed making any decision until after
the demonstration.
Another problem with trash disposal
has developed with the caretaker of the
White Rock dumpground, Mayor Smith
said. Grover Cleveland, caretaker of the
dump, receives no payment for his
services from the Cities of Whitewright,
Bells and Tom Bean, which cooperatively
operate the facility. Mayor Smith said his
original understanding with the mayors of
the other two cities was that Cleveland
was to be reimbursed for his gate
watching. Cleveland presently admits
citizens of the three towns to the dump
with the presentation of paid water bill
receipts. “Without a gateman to unlock
the dump, only city trucks with gate keys
can gain admittance,” Smith said. Council
members agreed that Cleveland should be
paid for his services, but no action was
taken pending discussions with the city
governments of Bells and Tom Bean.
