Reorganization
Of Ellis County
Bankers Set Up
Originally formed back in the
1920s, the Ellis County Bankers
Assn, has been reactivated. It
had been dormant for more
than two decades.
Heading the group now is
Gene Rogers, president of the
First National Bank of Midlo-
thian. Lynn Griffith, president
of the Waxahachie Bank and
Trust, is vice-president. Weldon
Holley, president of the First
State Bank of Italy and Avalon,
is secretary-treasurer.
Other banks represented in
the membership are — Citizens
National and Ennis State Bank
of Ennis, First National of Mil-
ford, Citizens National of
Waxahache, Farmers and Mer-
chants State of Ferris, Com-
mercial State of Palmer, and
First State of Maypearl.
When originally organized the
association was made up of 25
banks. Now here are only 11 in
the county.
According to the old minutes
mow in possession of Mr. Holley,
the association used to meet on
bank holidays. Members brought
their families to the meetings
and made a social affair of the
occasion.

Voter List in
Ellis Co. to Be
Computerized
The computer is entering poli-
tics.
Ellis County’s voter registra-
tion list for this year will be
compiled by data processing and
next year the complete voter
registration probably will be
processed through a computer
oriented company.
George Singleton, president of
Texas Statistics Service, Inc., of
Waxahachie, explained at a com-
missioners court the process by
which his company could this
year prepare complete alpha-
betical lists of registered voters
in the county and also alphabeti-
cal lists of those registered in
each voting box.
Next year, Mr. Singleton said,
a postcard type of registration
[application with the prospective
voters name, age, address and
other necessary data could be
supplied by Texas Statistical to
be mailed out by the county
and the company could com-
plete the registration and com-
pile voter lists.
Each year, Mr. Singleton said,
the computer would advance the
age and bring other information
up to date.
The cost to the county pro-
cessing the names of the 1,650
registered voters for the first
year will be 10 cents per name,
or $1,650. Next year, the cost
of the complete registration pro-
cess would be 12 cents per name.
The court contracted for the
data processing service for one
year and Mr. Singleton said the
voter list will be ready by the
middle of March.
In addition to sufficient cop-
ies of both the complete list and
the list by boxes for use of the
county, the court authorized ad-
ditional copies which will be sold
to candidates who want them
for campaign purposes.
County officials estimated that
the typing of the voter roll,
alone, would require the ser-
vices of one person for two
months.
County Judge Milton Harts-
field said the data processing
voter registration method would
be a real service to the people
of the county.

With USO, Viet
Dodges Bullets
NEW YORK—Jan Moorehead
is an attractive, blue-eyed gal
from Scottsdale, Arizona who
plans recreation and U-S-O
shows for U-S troops in Vietnam.
But recently she found herself
crawling on the ground in Sai-
gon, bullets whistling over her
head as she tried to deliver food
to GIs.
Jan was getting ready to go
home on leave from Vietnam af-
ter two years U-S-O service
when the Viet Cong attacks
broke.
First the fighting prevented
her from getting a plane out.
Then she got pinned down at
times by the street fighting.
But now she’s safely back in
the U-S. However, not for long.
She has 36 days leave—and then
heads back to Viet Nam where
she frequently makes trips into
battle zones.
Why did she go to Vietnam?
She says her father is "of the
opinion that whether you are a
girl or a man you owe some-
thing to your country.”

"Everything's going up in price.
Does anything cost
the same today as it
did 10 years ago?"

WHEN Lord Baden-Powell, the Englishman, con-
ceived the idea of the Boy Scouts and, later,
our own American, Dan Beard, furthered and
promoted the idea here, neither, we suspect,
ever dreamed what world-wide fountains of
Youth he was putting in action! Today the Boy
Scouts are the flower of young manhood in
every quarter of the globe. Their deeds are
legion. Their clean, manly characters shine forth
from their scrubbed faces and the trim uni-
forms they wear. How very proud we fathers
and mothers of Boy Scouts should be! Their
merit badges are a symbol of sincerity, eager-
ness to serve and pride in their organization.
God bless them all. They’ll be leaders tomorrow.
Long Distance telephone rates have actually
gone down since 1958. Matter of fact, there’ve
been 22 rate reductions since coast-to-coast
service began in 1915.
Today, for one dollar or less, you can call
anywhere in the United States, except Alaska and
Hawaii. That’s the three-minute, station-to-station
interstate rate all day Saturday and Sunday, and
weekdays after 7 p.m.
You say you’re glad to know somebody is holding
the line on rising prices?
So are we. We want your every "hello"
to be a real good buy. —
