and, another thing, is I gotta
run now and cook a peach pie.
Maybe you can help guess where
the peaches came from.
Tuesday morning, Lois Wilson
(the good-looking girl who works
in the Chamber of Commerce
office) came to my desk with a
sack of big peaches, saying they
had been left for me. Whoever
Drought ’em wouldn’t tell her name,
but, Lois said, "She was a handsome
lady, with beautiful white hair,
and looked about (now that cer-
tain person will love this) forty
years old.”
There’s only one such person
in Kermit who fits that descrip-

tion. Since she didn’t tell her name
I won’t either, but, I betcha, her
husband is 109th District Judge
G. C. Olsen.
That’s merely a guess—mind you.
Those are the most perfect
peaches you ever saw, and why
aren’t more of 'em grown in Wink-
ler County. They’re something for
a county which doesn’t have one
dab of farm land.
Anyway, thanks a million to a
peach for those peaches.

he’s being stuffed so much with

Honorary Lion
W. N. Westmoreland, scout-
master of Troop 266, sponsored by
the Kermit Lions Club, was named
a honorary member of the club at
a director’s meeting held last
Thursday night.
The honorary membership was
made for ‘outstanding service to
Lionism.”
Westmoreland became the second
person to ever receive an honorary
membership in the club. J. B. Wal-
ton was the first.
***
We have a couple of new citi-
zens in Kermit for which we
should roll out the welocme mat.
They’re Harold and Doris Fobert,
formerly of Flint, Michigan. After
weeks of looking over extensive
parts of these United States, the
Foberts decided Kermit would be
their home. They’ve completed first
preliminaries in becoming Buick
dealers and this week are trying to
finish getting some type of build-
ing under way to house the new !
business.
You’ll like Doris and Harold.
They’re friendly and nice as can
be, and they’re a long way from
what used to be their home. Notice
Pthat “used to be their home.” One
day this week, when they were
Rio meeting, at long last has come
and gone. ‘Twas a very nice meet-
ing, and the speech I’ve been
worrying about is all over. Guess
it was all right. One fellow just
laughed and laughed and clapped
his hands, then with a final hic-
haw stumbled out of the meeting.

Nev Williams and Dick Dwelle,
publishers of our Winkler County
News, weren’t able to make the
convention, but they got their
share of the spotlight with a tele-
gram they sent. Said telegram was
as follows:

Bob Clay, husband of Lelia Clay,
has been home from Legion Hos-
from The St. Anthony in San An-
tonio. He and Mrs. Halley, he re-
ports, are “running our heads off
from one doctor to another. Mrs.
H. has improved some. Old Sol is
running around 115 degrees.” and,
he adds, they’re anxious to come
home. In another note he wrote
to Clyde Barton, Judge said the
brunettes in San Antonio were
plentiful, but blondes were hard to
find.

“UP (United Press) story in
El Paso Times this morning lists
you as publisher of The Winkler
County News. Thank goodness you
have finally decided to relieve us
of this headache. Extend best
wishes for a successful conven-
tion and sorry we can’t be present.”
Since the publisher is the owner
of a newspaper, it probably was
quite a surprise to Nev and Dick
to learn what had happened to
them. They had been thinking all
time the new brick building now
going up was going to belong to
7 them, and they’ve been worrying
- about all the details which add up
- to headaches in publishing a news-
paper.
Those other editors got quite a
kick out of the telegram.

“The time of our lives” is the
general concensus of opinion with
Webb and Marjorie Jenkins since
their return to home base after
attending Lions International in
New York. More interesting things
happened to them. They traveled
leisurely, sometimes making 90
miles a day, sometimes 400—just
according to how much looking
they wanted to do at the country
they were passing through.
And, if you want to know about
television—just ask Webb and Mar-
jorie. Their hotel room was equip-
ped with a set, and using television,
to say the least, was something
new to a couple of Winkler Coun-
tians in the big city.
i
Just one thing was worrying
Webb. That wife of his, he says,
sure got spoiled while she was gone.
A Some of the kinfolks took care of
f their daughter, and Mrs. Webb
didn’t have that to do; she ate
breakfast in bed when and if she
got ready; she didn’t have any
house work to do—oh, she just had
a few weeks of pure-dee luxury-—-
so her husband declares. Wonder
if Webb worked very hard, his-
ownself?

asked “Where’s your home?”
Harold answered, very sincerely,
“Kermit.”
Reports from “reliable sources”
are that two Buicks already are
on the way to the new dealer.
He’s wondering where he’ll set up
shop if they get here. (Might I
suggest the Greens’ driveway.)
Mrs. Fobert will do the book
work and help in other ways. Only
thing lacking is that old story, a
place to live. So, if any of you
have a nice furnished or maybe un-
furnished house just sitting around
idle and want it occupied by a “re-
liable working couple”, let it be
known.
and, another thing is, that Del I introduced to Bill Cameron Bill

patterns and oxford cloth in two collar styles—

style. You’ll want several colors that blend so
