The Carson County Historical
Survey Committee is indebted to
the many who gave a hand in mak-
ing the day a success. The press,
the radio, and TV stations and all
forms of communications of the
area gave the kind of cooperation
needed to make such a day a suc-
cess. The Panhandle Wheat Grow-

Glass should be wrapped in
newspapers and then broken. Plas-
tic and metal containers should be
punctured and crushed, and then
buried at least 18 inches deep in
an area isolated from crops, live-
stock or people. The site should
not be in an area where the chem-
ical might leach down into under-
ground water supplies.

tableware was furnished and of
top quality, both the plastic ware
and the paper goods. The many
guests introduced by Mrs. Ralph
Randel and the wires from those
who could, not attend showed the
interest not only of Carson County
residents but area and statewide.
The Horse, Indian and Blacksmith

of the University of Texas, is an
excellent example of the interest
others will show when a rral com-

EMPTY POISON CONTAINERS
CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS

I ELECTRIC
Is an empty pesticide container
really empty? Don’t believe it,
‘ says Bill Clymer, Extension area
entomologist at Amarillo.
L There are always a few grains
of powder or a little liquid on the
' sides .of a container that can be
' just as dangerous as a full one.
■ Proper disposal is the answer to
prevention of damage to crops and
1 perhaps injury or death to live-
’ stock and humans. Clymer offers
1 some suggestions on disposing of
■ used containers safely.

It was Adlai Stevenson who said,
“the relationship of the toastmas-

same as that of the fan to the fan-

to the subject without making any
particular effort to cover it.”

Inflation is a state of affairs
By H. M. Nichols
Saturday, Nov. 13, was a big day
for Carson County with many peo-
ple attending the annual Pioneer
reception, dedication and barbecue
in Panhandle. The Carson County
Historical Survey Committee and
all interested in preserving the his-
tory of the area, feel the day was
truly a successful one.
Visitors from a distance started
to arrive before 10 a.m. when the
museum opened for the day. Many
were inspecting the museum com-
plex some time after the serving
of the barbecue so there were 12
full hours when visitors were in-
specting not only the new Moody
Exhibit Hall but all of the several
buildings making up the museum
complex east of the Carson County
Courthouse. The special art ex-
hibits which were on display dur-
ing the week were something added
for the regular visitors to the mu-
seum so all had a full day of in-
specting, visiting and enjoying
themselves.
The afternoon program was car-
ried out as scheduled with Eugene
Phillips of the Panhandle First Na-
tional Bank serving as master of
ceremonies. The concert present-
ed by Conductor Jim Haile and his
White Deer High School Band from
2:00 until 2:30 o’clock was very
well received and appreciated bv
all.
The Presentation of the Colors by
Crset Troop 134, Panhandle Girl
Scouts, was executed without a
flaw. The Scouts and their lead-
ers deserve much credit for the
presentation showed excellent
training.
Rev. Keith Wiseman of the Pan-
handle United Methodist Church
gave the invocation which was fol-
lowed by a choral group of fourth
graders presenting Songs of Texas.
Mrs. J. R. Hogge, Mrs L. E. Wil-
son, Miss Marjorie Ewing and
Miss Mary Ewing deserve much
credit for this splendid presenta-
tion.
Mr. Phillips called upon the aft-
ernoon speaker, Mr. Virgil Patter-
son of Amarillo, to make the dedi-
catory remarks having to do with
the new Moody Exhibit Hall and
to give his audience a background
of the great work the Moody Foun-
dation is doing in Texas to make
good communities better. Mr. Jay
Taylor was also called up to in-
form the listeners on the work of
the Brown Foundation.
Sherwood Blasdel gave an ex-
cellent historical report on the
bringing in of oil in the Texas Pan-
handle, mentioning the part his
father and others played in this
great project. This, a salute to the
50th Anniversary of the Discovery
Well, Gulf No. 2. After proper re-
cognition of Pioneers of the Oil In-
dustry of this area, Mrs. Jim Wil-
liams presented Memorials to the
Pioneers of the Oil Industry in ex-
cellent fashion.
Upon completion of the pro-
gram in the new Panhandle High
School Auditorium, the guests
gathered at the museum complex
for the unveiling of the plaques at
the Moody Exhibit Hall and to in-
spect the contents of the building,
and others of the complex, before
going west to the next building,
the Carson County War Memorial
Building, for the annual Pioneer
Reunion and tea. Much good vis-
iting took place here and much
credit must go to the Federated
Women’s Clubs of the county for
the great work done to make this
portion of the program so impor-
tant to our pioneer families.
Following an hour at the War
Memorial Building. a steady
stream of cars could be seen
headed for the new Carson County
Agricultural Building on the east
edge of Panhandle for the well-
known “King George” Barbecue
put on so' well by George Rohan
and his many associates. The bar-
becue and the country' store were
in full force at the same time and
both attracted much attention and
both contained many fine goodies.
Mrs. Harold V. O’Neal and her as-
sistants handled sthe Country' store
as they have in the past. Those
assisting George Rohan heard when you never had it so good or
many fine comments made about parted with it so fast!
Paper and other combustible ।
materials can be burned, but make
sure the fumes and smoke cannot
damage plants or animals, Clymer
reminds.
Sanitary landfills used by many
cities and towns can be a good dis-
posal spot, but a producer should
check with the proper authorities
before dumping the containers.
The question of using empty 55-
gallon barrels always arises. Most
people do not want to throw away
containers that can be used for
feed storage or as feed bunks. But
the practice can be extremely dan-
gerous, especially if the chemical
had an arsenic base.
“You can burn them or wash
them or anything else, but enough
arsenic may still remain in the
barrels to kill almost any animal,”
Clymer warns.
Any chemical kept over the win-
ter should be sealed in an air-tight
and water-tight container, and
stored away from feed supplies in
a barn.
When a producer is disposing of
left-over pesticides, he should be
careful where he dumps the mate-
rial, Clymer adds. A common
practice in both aerial and ground
spraying is to dump excess chem-
icals in draws or small grass
areas. This can be extremely haz-
ardous because cattle are often
kept in these areas for short pe-
riods of time before working or
shipment. They graze this grass
that can have high amounts of dan-
gerous pesticides, which may
cause sickness or death to the
animal. ' •
