BROWNWOOD AREA-
Ten Cents Daily Twenty Cents Sunday
All across Texas,
Brownwood is known for its
can-do attitude, its growing
industrial community, Its
, football Lions, and assorted
other good things.
But outside the Texas
border, the rest of the
Americans who have heard
of Brownwood tend to have a
less than accurately full
picture of our town.
A few years ago
newspapers all around the
world printed wire service
stories about Brownwood
and "The Midnight
Cowboy.” We know they did
because clippings came to us
from many points, including
one from an English
language paper in Hong
Kong
Now we are getting clip-
pings from wire service
accounts of the Brownwood
rattlesnake roundup.
The Ferris Clements’
learned about the world
rattlesnake sacking com-
petition from a story in the
Washington Post they saw
while in Washington, D.C.
And on the other coast, a
clipping from Mrs. M. T.
Woodward of Mira Loma,
Calif, gives proof that the
contest made page 2 of the
Los Angeles Times.
The point is that while
Texans know our area as
alert, energetic and growing,
to the rest of America we
must appear like Midnight
Cowboy-hating, rattlesnake-
handling hicks.
Sorta makes you wish we j
could hire a public relations
firm to get us a new national
image, doesn't it?

WHILE IT isn’t

we have noticed that in a few
