Fair Another Big Success
Ribbons of Champs
Go to Fannin’s Best
Champions wore their ribbons
proudly Saturday afternoon at
the Fannin county fair.
And, take it from the ex-
perts, every champion was a
champion — because from the
clothing and food divisions to
the several classes of live-
stock, the quality was there to
mark Fannin county farms as
producers of as good as can be
’found anywhere.
The blue, red, white and
championship ribbons went into
place Saturday as a climax to
the completion Saturday night
of another successful county
fair — an event that in its three
days had attracted thousands
of visitors to the Sam Rayburn
Memorial armory site.
Basically, the fair’s purpose
was to provide competitive .
- showing of future Farmer of
America and 4-H club live-
stock and products of home-
makingdepartments, but the
three days offered fun and en-
tertainment, too, for those
who came to enjoy the fair.
Cash premiums totaling a-
round $250 were paid Saturday
afternoon to the junior exhibi-
tors, but possibly those ribbons
meant more than the cash to
the many winners.
In the beef cattle division the
champion female Hereford was
shownby Roy Renfro, Jr., of
the Dodd City FFA; the cham-
pion male Hereford by Bruce
Witcher - of the Windom 4-H
club; the champion Angus
female by Karen Hinkle of the
Trenton FFA; champion male
Angus by Dubb Reese, Dodd
City FFA, and the male
champion of all other breeds
was a Charlais shown by Ga-
lon Williams of the Honey
Grove FFA and the champion
female, also a Charlais, shown
by Beverly Butler of the Tren-
ton FFA.
In the dairy division, the
champion female, a Jersey, was
shown by Eddie Burns of the
Trenton FFA.
In the swine division, the
champion female was shown
by Gary Hale, Bonham, FFA,
and the champion barrow by
Robert Chaney of the 4-H
Club-at-Large.
David Dodson of the Trenton
FFA showed the champion ewe
in the sheep division.
The coveted showmanship a-
ward went to Jerry Roberts,
Gober FFA, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Wayne Roberts.
Young Roberts, one of the
county’s top junior livestock ex-
hibitor, had just returned home
to participate in the Fannin
county fair after showing at the
State Fair of Texas where his
BRING YOUR
LIVESTOCK TO
Hereford heifer took second
place in the junior’ livestock •
show.
The fair was in its final round
Saturday night, one that was
attracting the heaviest attention
because of the annual queen
contest. Nine of the county’s
prettiest high school girls were
competing for the honor of 1964
County Fair queen.

VOTE FOR THE
TEXAN WHO LEADS
THE FREE WORLD!
For the past eleven months, for the first time in our history, a native son has led
our nation and the free world. And every Texan can take pride that President Johnson
has met the awesome burdens of the office with courage, wisdom and restraint.
THE ISSUE TUESDAY IS SIMPLE: WHO UN BEST LEAD
OUR NATION IN A TIME OF CHALLENGE AND PERIL?
t To which man do you feel most comfortable entrusting the security and well being
of yourself and your children for the next four years-
i A man who wants to turn back the clock of achievement.. a man who has worked
consistently against progressive measures in the Senate... a man virtually untested
in a time of crisis?
Or a man who has dedicated his entire life, to public, service... who. has demonstrated,
under five administrations, progressive leadership in working for a better way of life
for all Americans. A man who has proved his courage under fire... has demonstrated
his unwavering strength to meet any aggressor with firmness, yet restraint?
PRESIDENT JOHNSON HAS PROVIDED RESPONSIBLE
^LEADERSHIP FORMORE THANA QUARTER OF A CENTURY
. For almost three decades. President Johnson has been a pillar of strength for Texas
.. and thenation. As Congressman, as Senator, as Majority Leader, as Vice President,
x and now as Chief Executive, he has written a proud record of progress. (
