Mr. Lawson was born Oct.
28. 1901. in Attica, Ind , and
married Grace Hogge on July
21, 1927, in Canyon. He moved
to Deaf Smith County in 1964
from Amarillo. He was a cat-
tleman and a Baptist and was
a World War I veteran.
Survivors include his wife;
a son, Reece of Hereford; a
brother, Leon of Happy; a
sister, Leah Armstrong of
WHittier, Calif.; three grand-
children; and a great-
grandchild.

Investigators said the throat of Me.
Popham, a mother of three, was
slashed several times during a rape

Three of the boy ’s teen age friends,

"Ws are fighting a bad image,” said
Southside superintendent Ronald
Geyer. “We had made tremendous
gains, which is not to say we don't
have a long way to go. Then this hap-
pened.”
A school assembly was called for to-
day to challenge Southside students to
regain the district's good name, he
said.
Geyer said he could not discuse
what disciplinary measures — if any
- would be taken against the four
students, who range in age from 14 to
17.
The four were good friends, not a
gang, and never had been in serious
trouble at the school before, the
superintendent said.
“There are no gangs terrorizing this
community," he said. "Those boys
wore no colon, no name. They were
just four boys who hung around
together.”
Prosecutors have been stymied in
their efforts to certify the 14-year-old
boy, whose name is being withheld, to
stand trial as an adult.

Mobile homeowners can do
several things right now to
make for more comfortable
living when winter arrives,
according to housing
specialist Dr. Peggy Owens.
"A mobile home, like any
other home, can be sealed too
tightly for your health,” said
Owens, who is with Texas
AAM’s Agricultural Exten-
sion Service.
"Some exchange between
indoor and outdoor air should
go on all the time. When you
weatherize, make sure you do
not seal or block openings in-
tended to ventilate the wall
cavity." Owens said.
If the inside air seems stuf-
fy. homeowners should ven-
tilate with exhaust fans or
open a window a crack.
Owens suggested that
homeowners take these steps
to weatherize a mobile home:

747 cargo plane awervea
off runway on takeoff
FRANKFURT, West Germany
(AP) — A Boeing 747 cargo jet swerv-
ed off a runway and stopped with its
nose pointed skyward in an aborted
takeoff today at Frankfurt's interna-
tional airport, an airport spokesman
said.
The incident, involving a Flying
Tiger cargo flight bound for Brussels,
put one of the airport’s two runways
out at operation, temporarily delaying
traffic at West Germany's busiest air-
port, the spokesman said.
A Flying Tiger spokesman said no
one was injured among the three crew
and two company employees on board
the plane.
“It looks like the load shifted and
the plane made a left turn and came to
a stop in the grass,” airline station
manager Norbert Mahr said.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - The
winner of the local “Baskin-Robbins
Birthday Party” contest "was thril-
ed" to learn the news, even though she
is already heir to a huge fortune and
lives in one at the state's moot famous
homes.
The winner at a $130 video game
was Valerie Rockefeller - the
12-year-old daughter at Gov. Jay
Rockefeller, great-grandson of oil
magnate John D. Rockefeller
Her name waa announced Sunday
by Betty Ruch, owner of the ice cream
parlor, whose son John pulled
Valerie’s name from a pile of 468 en-
tries. Valerie listed her address as
1716 Kanawha Blvd. E - better
known as the Governor's Mansion.
"When I called her, she was thrill-
ed. She was very excited. She entered
the contest herself. She won it. It was
not something handed to her,” said
Mrs. Ruch
"Money isn’t everything, you know
Sometimes we have to do our ac-
complishments ourselves. Don’t you
think that way?” she said.
Valerie wasted little time claiming
her prize. State Trooper Kermit Am-
brose, guard at the mansion, said
Monday night that "she already
brought it home.”
