ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED
Mr. and Mrs. Harmon Norton of Rt. 3 Rusk, announce the en-
gagement and approaching marriage of their daughter Shelta to
Mr. Alvin J. Etheredge, son of Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Etheredge of
Sweetwater, Texas, The wedding is set for July 21, at 8;00p.m.

Paris, Texas officiating. A reception will beheld in Fellowship
Hall of First Baptist Church.
They say "a bad beginning
makes for a good ending."We
never have really understood
this old proverb, unless it
means that after a truly, lou-
sy send-off, any kind of an
ending is likely tobe an im-
provement !
The year 1967 didn't seem to
put its best foot forward with
us, or maybe we're just out of
step with the new year! Come
to think of it, the "new year"
is just about middle-aged, and
everybody better start now to
make the best of whatever it
has to offer!
We don't necessarily though
have to like everything that
Father Time has to offer. . .
like most Methodists are still
grumbling over losing their
preacher. Jewel McClure.
And the griping isn't limited
to just Methodists. He was a
■-pecial friend to many folks.
Our community will feel his
loss for some time to come.
He and his family were assets
in many areas, other than
church -related.

RUSK, TEXAS
Cherokee Countian advanced
the cause of his Christian fai-
th, to the best of his ability.
Our "preacher" and his fam-
ily carry with them our very
best wishes for continued hap-
piness in God's service.
Your writer, with camera in
hand, (enroute back to home
base ^pproced a cup of coffee
around at Ben Guynn's Java
House Tuesday, and Henry
Jordan just jokingly inquired
if we had come to photohirn..
and if so, he was much todirty
from recent engagment with
work to have his picture --nap-
ped. Thi-- prompted the punch
line from CC manager Frank
Howell, who said; "Listen,
friend, if 1 ever work hard en-
ough to work up THAT much
sweat, I WANT somebody to
make my picture!" so
guess who mows HIS yard? ?
Heaven help the men, if WI-
VES ever get organized, .say
like the UNIONS?
Guess you won't be hearing
much any more about the big
"hor->e race," Himselftrad-
ed his -peedynagfora "plug"
and now he'- safe from any
more unwanted wagers. If
that's not what REAL I V hap-
pened, well flip topage 1,col-
umn one, and read his account
of the situation.
Mr-. Roundabout owes apol-
ogies for the slightly "grabl-
ed" report last week of the
newest addition to the Dover-
Westbrook families. Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Westbrook recen-
tly welcomed a new son toth-
eir household, Jeffrey 1 oyd,
bron May 30th and weighing 7
lbs. 12 oz. He was greeted by
seven enthusiastic Rusk rela-
tives, especially the grand-
parents: Mr. and Mrs. J. R.
Westbrook and Mr. and Mrs.
Jack Dover. Congratuatlons
to the proud parent - (and the
SOGPI) Aren't babies grand?

**49TH DIV.
(Continued from page 1)
"In some cases," he contin-
ued, "men may have to learn
new skills or farther develop
their current skills. But our
men have proved that they
are highly capable and willing
to do just this."
He said that training during
the first week has been "ex-
cellent and Is a tribute to ev-
ery man In the division."
This year for the first time,
the division is using the new-
er M-48A1 tank. Also, for the
first time since its callupdur-
ing the Berlin crisis in 1961,
the 49th's tankers are operat-
ing on a tank course in which
all three guns--the 90 MM
main gun and .30 and ,50cali-
ber machine guns--are used.
Special emphasis is beingpl-
aced on air mobile training
exercises in which entire pla-
toons, numbering over 20men
are being flown into mock-en-
emv territory ontheCH37he-
licopter, also new to the divi-
sion's inventory, and deployed
on simulated tactical situa-
tions. This corresponds dir-
ectly with current tactics in
V ietnam.
Also in aprallel with the
Vietnam environment, recon-
naisance patrol training has
men of the 49th further devel-
oping their skill- in observing
and scouting a "main objec-
tive" without being dtected.
Infantrymen are also moving
over a squad attack course,
sharpening the techniques of
camouflage.
Still others are attending the
ENTAC Missile School learn-
ing the functions of a new an-
ti-tank guided missile device
that can be mounted on a jeep
and is considerable more pot-
ent than the recoil less rifle.
Additionally, classified instr -
uction schools are underway
for battalions in the 49th with
nuclear capabilities.
"All of our units have been
superb thus far," Gen. Scott
re-emphasized.
At Saturday's mounted re-
vlew-.the onlytitneduringthe
year the division is massed
to gether--loud howitzer of
Battery B, Second Battalion,
131st Artillery from Sham-
rock, boomed a 13 -gun alute
for Genera! Bishop and some
1,000 visitors, and the 149th
Aviation Battalion from Grand
Prairie supplied the honor
guard.
During the review four unit'
were singled out for the 49th'
highest awards.
Presented the General Clay-
ton P. Kerr. Trophy as the
most outstanding battalion in
the division was the 949Maln-
tenance Batta ¡Ion from Fort
Worth, and commanded by I i.
eutenant Colonel Therrell J.
Dodson.
The Governor' Award for
the best company in the divi-
sion went toCompany B, First
Battalion, 112th Armor of Irv-
ing. commanded by Captain
George C. Wilson, Jr.
The General J. I .Thompson
Trophy for the battalion with
the best recruiting effort was
awarded to the Fourth Battal-
ion of the 112th Armor. The
McAllen unit i commanded by
I ieutenant Colonel Joseph J,
Morra#,
The General J. W. Naylor
Trophy for the best recruiting
effort at a company level was
awarded to Company A, Four-
th Battalion, I 12th Armor of
Donna, commanded by Captain
Kenneth D. Sanders.
The Armor I eader hip Aw-
ard, for total performance of
organization and leadership
for the entire year, was pre-
sented to Company A, First
Battalion, 112th Armor of
Kaufman, commanded by Cap-
tain Michael H. Harris.
Following the review, most
men were given leave, but are
to report back Sunday night to
begin preparing for the second
week of training.
"I hope, and arn confident,
that the second week will be
jusi as satisfying a s the fir st "
Gen. Scott added.
