Union members authorize LS steel strike
Union members at Lone
Star Steel Company voted by
a 3-1 majority Tuesday to call
a strike against the company
if necessary to gain fringe
benefits the union has asked
for.
The vote was 1,628 in favor
of a strike and 573 against.
There were 2,201 secret bal-
lots cast in the election which
was supervised by the Texas
State Labor Commission.
The election was more of
an indication of sentiment of
the union members than a pre-
lude to an immediate strike.
The vote results will be sent
to the Federal Mediation and
Conciliation Service and to the
international offices of the
United Steelworkers of Ameri-
ca, of which Local 4134 at
Lone Star is a member.
The union has asked for im-
proved vacation benefits, bet-
ter unemployment benefits,
and greater insurance cover-
age.
Union and company officials
have met to discuss the union
requests but the talks have
not been fruitful.
Further talks may come now
that the strike vote has been
counted and the sentiment es-
tablished.
The last strike at the plant
was in 1957.
NO VACANCY!
The Naples Community
Inn had its first sell-out
of guest rooms Saturday.
The Inn had been close
to filling up Thursday and
Friday nights but didn't
quite make it.
Actually, rentals Satur-
day amounted to 114 per
cent of capacity — some
travellers using the guest
rooms less than a full day
to rest, and then continu-
ing their trips in time for
the unit to be rented
again.
It was the first time
since the Inn was opened
on May 9 that prospective
guests were turned away.

A couple of years ago, local
businessmen got rung in on a
gyp scheme to buy advertising
they thought was to appear on
the Pewitt Brahma football
program.
They've been understand-
ably leery since then.
Two Pewitt girls, Elizabeth
Chambliss and Nita Ballard,
and some others are running
into some buyer resistance
now from folks who are glad
to support the Brahmas but
careful not to get hooked
again
So Coach Fielding Huddle-
ston asked us to tell you these
two young ladies are bonafide
representatives of the Brahma
Booster Club and the money
you pay all stays here.
A sign at the Lobby Shop
at the Community Inn one day
last week read "Ladies ready
to ear".
A listening post, maybe?
If anything ever needed a
friend and a kind word, the
cigarette does now.
Perc Westmore, make-up di-
rector of Warner Brothers,
had one — contending that
smoking for women is bene-
ficial because it gives the facial
muscles exercise they can get
in no other way.
He said inhaling and exhal-
ing brings int" play all of
those muscles around the
mouth, smootning the lines
that so often form between
nose and chin at the sides of
the mouth, relaxing the nerves
and strengthening the muscles
of this area.
"Therefore, a cigaret in re-
ality is a compete beauty treat-
ment and one that is painless
as well."
Of course Westmore may
have reflected some on his
opinion since he made that
statement.
His statement was quoted in
a 1937 edition of the Dallas
Times Herald.
Martha Bruebaker went on
ai\ outing to Lake 0' the Pines
'pigLTuesday with the Richard
- *:rs, Gary Luttrell and
1 Criarlotte Bruebaker.
Martha Wasn't much inter-
ested in the fishing but she
worked hard at getting a good
even suntan.
It came out nice, too, except
for unmatching white ankles.
She forgot to remove her sox.
Mrs. Howard Carver wants
to start a kindergarten here
but she's still a few children
shy of enough — and she has
to decide by next Wednesday.
In addition to the definite
pupils, seven or eight others
have said maybe but she needs
a definite yes or no.
If you have a child you'd
like to have attend a kinder-
garten here this school term,
would you please let Mrs. Car-
ver know it right away.
An outstanding revival team
will conduct services next
week at the First Baptist
Church here.
Evangelist Charles Masse-
gee of Ranger will be the
guest preacher, and Jimmy
Snelen of Dallas will be the
song leader.
The revival will begin Mon-
day and services will be held
at 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. each day
during the week.
Mr. Massegee has led more
than 300 revival campaigns in
the last ten years and has
been recognized as one of the
outstanding young evangelists
in the Baptist denomination.
The Rev. Carter Lyles, pas-
tor, said, "You will be pleased
by the messages which he will
bring from the Word of God.
He is a favorite with all age
groups."
A nursery will be open for
all of the services.
UNCLE OF NAPLES MAN

Funeral services were held

Mrs. W. E. Harris, 77 year
old lifelong resident of Mari-
etta, died at the hospital here
Monday.
She had been active in her
community's church and civic
affairs for many years.
Survivors include her hus-
band; four daughters, Mrs. Al-
len Foster of Houston, Mrs.
Mildred Holt of Galena Park,
Mrs. Robert Sorsby of Texar-

cille Stewart of Texarkana,

Fe, and Mrs. Florence Alex-
ander of Broken Bow, Okla.;
nine grandchildren and six

Funeral services were held

Oakridge Baptist Church at
Marietta with the Rev. A. L.
Pierce officiating, assisted by
the Rev. L. F. Chitsev.
Burial was in the Oakridge
Cemetery.
Local water demand exceeds supply
Naples is using water faster
than the city's equipment can
pump it.
That situation brought an
appeal Wednesday for custom-
ers to restrict their use to a
bare minimum in an effort to
avoid the necessity of enforced
rationing.
The city's four wells are
holding up satisfactorily but
the pumps simply won't lift
enough water to keep up with
consumption.
W. L. Dodson, water com-
missioner, said the shortage
developed early this week and
by Wednesday morning the
256,000-gallon reservoir sys-
tem was only half full.

She previously was employ-
ed as home demonstration

kin, she served as assistant

Miss Dickey is a native of
Cherokee county. Her parents
r.re Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Dickey

and related areas.
She will maintain an office
on the second floor of the
federal building at Dainger-

One in 75,000
The chances of hatching a white quail have
been pretty well established at the Joe Fulcher
hatchery as about one in every 75,000. That
ratio seems logical since the Fulchers have
raised about 75.000 quail during the last 12
years. Other quail in the pens have accepted
the three-weeks old white one without inci-
dent. The Fulcher bovs, David, left, and Gor-
don Rav, are shown with the rare bird.
Repairs, improvements authorized at school
Repairs and improvements
to buildings were ordered by
Pewitt school trustees Monday
night.
Some of the work already is
underway but other odds and
ends were approved to be done
before the tall term begins.
Superintendent H. R. Hamil-
ton reported to the board that
work is underway on seats for
the football field at Carver
school and lights have been
ordered and will be put up
before th training season be-
gins.
Repairs to the custodian's
house and the vocational agri-

school were authorized, along
with additional seats on both

ment but delayed hiring a sec-
ond teacher for the section
until later this month when

mendation.
ing also was reduced substan-
tially.
Dodson said the peak use
came between 6 and 7 p.m.
and line pressure then fell as
much as 30 pounds off the
normal of 52 to 58 pounds.
By the time the faucets are
turned off at sundown, the res-
ervoirs are so low the pumps
can't refill the tanks before
heavy use starts again the
next day.
If there is no voluntary cut-
back in water use, the city will
enforce some type of ration-
ing.
That could be in the form
of restrictions on lawn water-
ing, car washing, or higher
water rates to discourage the
waste.
The problem is likely to get
worse as summer wears on.
The shortage developed at the
time the temperature reached
100 degrees and over but con-
sistently cooler weather is like-
ly to be two or three months
away.
