Farm Publisher
To Speak for
TFA Convention
LUFKIN — Tom Anderson,
president and publisher, Farm
and Ranch Publishing Co., Nash-
ville, Tenn. will be the prin-
cipal speaker at the 47th An-
nual Meeting of the Texas For-
estry Association in the Fred-
onia Hotel, Nacogdoches, Oct.
20, 196.1.
A fluent and thoroughly ef-
fective speaker, his audiences
are quickly impressed by his
straightforward and penetrat-
ing analyses as well as his per-
ceptive wit. Anderson is describ-
ed as a crusader, idealist, per-
fectionist, and patriot. His edi-
torial page in the Farm and
Ranch magazine is the most
quoted, most reprinted in the
farm field. His "Straight Talk"
editorials have earned for him
the "Liberty Award" of I h e
Congress of Freedom and the
"Freedom Award" of Freedom
Foundation at Valley Forge,
"for outstanding achievement in
bringing about a better under-
standing of the American way
of life."
FAA Must
OK Titles
To Land
County Commissioners last
Thursday authorized County
Judge J. W. Chandler lo enter
into a contract for construction
of the Cherokee County air-
port.
Construction will be delayed
about a month, however, while
the Federal Aviation Agency
approves land titles.
Commissioners met with Air-
port Committee representatives,
M. G. Moore and Hubert Mc-
Gaughey, FAA Engineer Bob
Boswell, and Contractor Dan
Pennington.
Boswell said the FAA re-
quires land titles and an at-
torney's title opinion before be-
ginning construction. Earlier it
was believed that construction
could start immediately.
"I don't want to sound dis-
couraging," Boswell said to
Moore, "but it will take about
a month (to process the titles
through FAA)."
The contract may be signed
and sent for FAA approval
during the time it takes for
approval of the titles. There
should be no delay in getting
the contract approved, Boswell
said.
Work will commence within
10 days after final FAA ap
proval. That is a contract pro-
vision.
Pennington Thursday asked
if he could begin some prelim
inary work on the site before
final approval is given. Boswell
advised against it, and the coun-
ty preferred to wait for ap-
proval.
The federal government will
pay half of the cost of the air-
port. This includes cost of land
and construction. Pennington's
bid on construction, approved
by (he FAA, was $64,957.
The contract calls for paving,
dirt work, grading, fencing and
clearing of approaches.

TAKE CHANCES
Progress always involves
risks—you can't steal second
base with one foot on first.
County Agent Steve Lilly, left, and his
mother, Mrs. Ava Mae Lilly, pose with Ka-
malludin Tarzi, Afghan student at Texas
A&M College. Tarzi, in a talk at Rusk last
week, explained his people's reluctance to
change agriculture traditions.
Tradition Blocks Change
In Country, Afghan Says
Afghanistan's progress in ag-
ricultural production is contin-
ually stumbling ovor tradition,
a young Afghan exchange stu-
dent said here last week.
The people, eighty per cent
of whom live off agriculture,
are as reluctant to change as
anyone.
Kamalludin Tarzi, a sopho-
more student at Texas A&M
College, spoke to members of
the Rusk Rotary Club. He was
accompanied by County Agent
Steve Lilly and Lilly's mother,
Mrs. Ava Mae Lilly of Nacog-
doches County. He is spending
the summer on the Lilly farm
observing agriculture practices.
Tarzi said Afghan farmers till
the soil much as they have
done for centuries. They see
little reason to change, but one
big reason for not changing.
Many fear mass unemployment
if machines replace manual la-
bor in the fields.
Tarzi said he felt change is
necessary if the country is to
elevate its standard of living.
This country's 50,000,000
people, living in an area about
the size of Texas, follow a sim-
ple way of life, with strong
bonds of friendship, he said.
They like their traditions and
want to preserve them.
"We arc trying to change,
but that takes time," Tarzi
stated.
Tarzi was introduced by
County Agent Steve Lilly, who
studied in Turkey as an ex-
change student under the 1CA
program.
Speaks At
Reklaw Ch.
Rev. Herbert S. Giffin of Fort
Worth was the speaker recently
at the Reklaw Baptist Church
as a representative of the Tex-
as Alcoholic and Narcotics Edu-
cation organization, according
to Rev. Gene Tonilin, pastor.
Rev. Giffin spoke on the
widespread use of alcoholic bev-
erages and narcotics and out-
lined means of combating the
evils of these practices.
A special offering for the
TANE program was taken at
the close of the services.
Mrs. Giffin and their son,
Herbie Kent, accompanied the
Rev. Giffin.
