At the present time, I am Justice of the Peace, Precinct No. 1, Place No. 1, Collin
County. I was born in Copeville, Collin County, Texas and have lived in McKinney for
52 years. For 18 years I was employed by the McKinney Gin Co. as bookkeeper, cotton
buyer and then manager. For 16 years I had a public accounting business. My wife,
Enola Cope, has been a nurse at Collin Memorial Hospital for the past 16 years.
I was elected to this office in 1971 and it has been my privilege and pleasure to serve
you, the people, in this capacity since that time.
Each year I attend Justice Court Training Classes to keep updated on new laws and
changing procedures. To date I have 60 hours schooling with Texas A&M Extension
Service, 20 hours with Lamar University and 80 hours with Southwest Texas State
University.
With the 7 years experience I’ve had in office and with the above schooling, I feel
qualified to continue to serve ALL the people in an impartial, fair and just manner.
I am asking to be re-elected as your Justice of Peace, Precinct No. 1, Place No. 1 on
May 6, 1978, Democratic Primary. Thank you.

Crowder. He hopes to attract
more high school age boys and
girls since, no matter what the
sport, Crowder believes the sum-
mer is the time to develop the
“competitive edge” over your
revials for the next season”.
“Hard work in the summer,” he
said, “carries over into the fall
and winter. Just ask kids like Jeff
Clark, Scott Evans and Kim
Stevens, to name but a few. I
can’t teach these kids much
about track but I believe I can
teach them how to compete and
get after folks.”
Crowder emphasized that a child
need not be a team member since
the Collin County Relays is open
to individuals who wish to com-
pete unattached.
“For $11, the team members will
receive a T-shirt with team em-
blem, shorts and socks. This also
covers his or her entry fee,” said
Crowder.
“The $11 also buys a child the
opportunity, at least one time in
his or her life, to soar with the
Eagles, if but briefly. Of course, if
we don’t live up to expectations,
some will say it was a chance to
crash land with the looney birds.”
