About forty persons attend-
ed an open meeting Monday
night at the First United
Methodist concerning the con-
struction of the community
building. Mrs. Clayton Kay,
chairman, and C. J. Wimer,
vice-chairman of the Grand-

Questions were asked and
discussed. A decision was
made not to request federal
funds toward constructing the
building as this would involve
federal control. It will be a
community project to be used
by local clubs, organizations,
individual groups and the youth
of the area for meetings and
recreation.
Donations have already
been received putting a total
$8,625 on deposit, more is to

few days and the committee
is starting a 30 day drive to
work toward an approximate
$20,000 goal that is needed to
folly complete the building.

ible and can be deposited in

A THRIVING BUSINESS was enjoyed by the Texas Chenille Mfg. Co. in Grandview for almost
nine years. Earl Renfro was.the owner of this plant which employed as many at 150 persons at
one time, operating three shifts. The plant was in Fort Worth for five years before Renfro moved
it to Grandview and began operation January 1, 1944. The business was located where K-Way
Food Store now stands, and was destroyed by fire shortly before Christmas in 1952. At the time
of the fire, Renfro said that ads were running in all area papers for laborers. When production
outgrew space, Mr. Renfro purchased foe building where Oliver Hardware is now located and
opened a second plant there. —

Barnes said the survey is
an outgrowth of the House
Interim Committee on Agri-
culture formed last year.
The information received
will be the basis for official
crop production estimates for
the State of Texas and each
county.
Accurate estimates ar of
great importance to farmers
planning production and mark-
eting, in form programs and in
providing an unbiased picture
of Texas agriculture, Bames
said.
The survey is a joint
endeavor of the Texas De-
partment of Agriculture and
foe Statistical Reporting Serv-
ice of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The
questionnaires are to be re-
turned to the Agricultural
Statistician’s office in Austin.
Two factors may cause some
balloting confusion in the No-
gonbozecermsssntekensiroreast
this week.
I The two factors are:,
1. A new State law has in-
serted a new top line on the
paper ballots so that persons
desiring to vote a “straight
, .party ticket" may do so by
making one mark. This new
line is expected to confuse not
only the “straight ticket”
voters, but also the “split
ticket’’ voters.
2. “Split ticket" voters are
expected to be more numerous
than ever before, especially
since there is a third party,
the American Party, and it has
candidates for only President
and Vice-President and no
other offices.
Voters are cautioned to be
certain that their ballots are
properly marked so that their
intentions will not be subject
to interpretation by election
officials.
The “scratch" method of
voting, which some people pre-
fer, is still permitted. How-
ever, voters using this method
are cautioned to.be certain to
mark through all names in all
three party columns for which
they do not wish to vote.
There are 19 counties in
Texas that use voting ma-
chines. As in the past, one
lever can be pulled to vote a
“straight ticket." To vote .a
“split ticket,” individual levers
should be pulled for each can-
didate of the voter’s choice.
Persons who are uncertain as
to how to operate a machine
should contact one of the elec-
tion officials before entering
the voting booth.
Voting machines are sched-
uled to be used in the follow-
ing counties: Bell, Bexar,
Brazoria, Cameron, Dallas,
Ector, El Paso, Galveston,
Gregg, Harris, Hidalgo, Jef-
ferson Midland, Nueces. Pot-
ter, Rndall, Rusk, Smith and

Let's Play Bal in
Whitney, Friday Nigh
I
Whitney stormed to a strong
7-3 record in 1967, losing only
to Clifton among district teams
still in the 13-A grouping.
Most of the young men who
built that edifice are gone,
however. Coach Jerry Ward
has only four returning regulars,
all playing both ways. They
are tackle Tommy Gerik, center
David Whitfield, backs Bill
Whitfield and Knox Bruce.
Whitney has a 2-4 record
this season. They have lost
games to Hubbard, Joshua,
Kerens and Itasca. The Wild-
cats have victories over
Blooming Grove and Meridian.
In 1966 the Zebras and
Wildcats battled to a 00 tie
game. The following year
Whitney defeated Grandview
560.
Each team will be eager for
a win Friday fright to put them
on the black side of the dis-
trict ledger sheet. The Wild-
cats always fjeld a good team,
as the game should he a thrill-
