of millions of years, he can’t help

how futile and insignificent is

William E. (Bill) Pool, who
recently landed in Kermit to be-
gin his law practice career, re-
marks that when he came here
folks said it just never does rain.
He thinks somebody misrepre-
sented things, since he’s been here
two weeks and it’s rained three
times. Just wait, William.

is going through Carlsbad Cav-
erns.
Makes no difference how many
times one makes the “hole trip,”
it’s always a thrill and well
worth the effort getting down
and up.
As expressive as this English
language we speak is, it still isn’t
capable of describing the caverns.
They’re beyond human descrip-
tion and, even after seeing them,
one wonders if it weren’t all a
dream—only one never could
dream up anything like that.
When a fellow gets to feeling
terribly important, and rushes
around to meet schedules and ap-
pointments, and there just aren’t
2s
Classic remark in the party
we made the tour with came from
a little lad about 6 years old. As
the group looked at that big rock,
(largest loose “stone” in the
caverns, which weighs about 200,-
000 tons, and is surrounded by

landa Scroggins, James Jett, Dan
Sandel and Paul Stevens. The
last five are at Tech for the sum-
mer, specializing in learning how
to play in the band. Needless to
say—playing for General Wain-
wright was the year’s greatest
thrill for the students.

Mrs. Fred Hard Wright, who
took time from her county
librarying about a month ago,
has at last come home, arriving
as rested looking and as sassy
as the first spring robin.
She’s been most every place,
including the State of Washing-
ton, and some of the places she
tried to go were too deep in snow
to get to.
But, she did manage to eat
cherries, peaches, plums and such [
goodies until she was most fittin’
to bust, and even then didn’t
make a dent on the crop.
Seems characteristic of Mrs.
Librarian that when she sets out
to do anything she does it with
a will, whether it’s running the
County Library or dashing over
the countryside having a vaca-
tion.

The recent appearance of Gen.
Jonathan Wainwright in Floydada
was an extra special occasion for
a group of Kermit youngsters.
Five of them are attending band
school at Lubbock’s Texas Tech,
and the other is a regular stu-
dent. They all got to play in the
band to officially greet the fa-
mous General.
Frank Ellis Summers, who has
enrolled as a regular Tech stu-
dent, got to go along with the
musicians, including Charlene
Cummings, Marilyn Mitchell, Yo-
back home are the Fred Pearsons,
who returned early this week
after spending most of the past
two weeks eating the Henrietta
kinfolks outa house and home.
Fred was mumbling in his beard
along about Tuesday because his
car was acting up. They made
their vacation trip, over 1,500
miles in all, without a single dab
of car trouble. Quick as they get
home, the car takes its vacation,
and wouldn’t “even start to get
down town.”

But, you know, even if it has
taken millions upon millions of
years to accomplish the present-
day caverns, a few days and years
still are important to us human
beings.
Sunday was the twenty-first
wedding anniversary of this
would-be columnist, and the trip
was sort of a celebration of that
event, as well as a going-some-
place jaunt for the ex-sailor son
who is home for only a short
' time.
On that long ago July 7, when
the preacher was saying, “Say
‘I do,’ ” we little dreamed that
twenty-one years later we’d be
chasing across the country with
a car full of three grown-up
youngans, all our very own, and
leaving behind daughter’s six-foot-
two husband because it wasn’t
his day off, and the gray-eyed
girl in Missouri who is to march
down the aisle this very month I
with the ex-sailor.
Great Day— the mama of that
much family is at least old
enough to sympathize with the
age of the caverns. Anybody got
for sale, real cheap, a walking
cane, a fascinator and an ‘elum’
toothbrush?
