Settle old score
Two dogs win long battle with wild hog
LEE WAYNE JONES
Rock, a four year old Leo-
pard dog, squared things up
with a wild hog Tuesday after-
noon.
The dog and another own-
ed by Corry W. Heard, local
MoorMan feed dealer, won
their running battle with a
wild boar in the Sulphur Riv-
er lowlands.
The hog had broken two of
the dog's ribs in a battle last
winter.
Heard also had an account
to settle with the hog. The
animal had slashed his pants
iegs last winter in a battle.
Heard and two of his Leo-
pard dogs, Rock and Dixie, a
four month old, were working
cattle Tuesday afternoon in
the vicinity of Heard's Lake
near where White Oak Creek
flows into Sulphur River.
Dixie bayed the hog and
Rock joined her. Heard rode
up on his pony and roped the
hog.
The rope came loose and
the hog fought the dogs until
Heard could throw another
rope over him.
The pony stretched the hog
out and Heard held him with
one hand while tying him with

This Small World —
This old world is shrinking
so fast you never know who
may turn up next in your own
front yard.
Just how small it is already
was demonstrated last week
end.
Two months ago, the Bap-
tist Standard had a picture on
its cover of a man who strong-
ly resembled Clifton Brock.
Nobody knew who he was.
Sunday, a group of Naples
women, members of the Trav-
elers Club, made a stop during
their bus tour at Itaton, N. M.
Mrs. Elsie Smith and others
attended services at the First
r Baptist Church there. The
song leader looked familiar.
Back at their hotel, they re-
K membered. It was the man
who looked like Clifton Brock.
]£;? The women had seen his pic-
ture in The Monitor.
The women didn't talk with
| Mr. Hunt, the look-alike, but
L they did talk with his pastor,
gl the Rev. Charles Johnson.
The town of Naples had a
■ familiar ring to him.
He had been a classmate of
the Rev. Marshall Hampton, a
I former Naples man.

The Shorts End —
A lady reader comes to the
defense of women who wear
shorts and, from the tone of
her letter, we know better
than to tamper with it. .
Here it is:
"Your comment on the iden-
tification of the various biki-
nis, short shorts, jeans, J|mai-
cas, slacks, toreadors, pedal
pushers and cullottes women
in Naoles wear was, I gather,
soMp%ij>r informing the old,
o\a\ deration and boys under
12 m
"It strikes me that instead
of pointing up the fact that
we are wearing this type of
pants, you could instead direct
these oldsters who sit with
their canes and ogle at the
'sights' to go home and baby
sit with the grandkids *. . .
"Let's leave the identifica-
tion of these garments to our
younger men who know and
appreciate their value and quit
encouraging this corner crowd
to stand and 'leer' at every
passing thing."
Okay, you guys on the other
corner. You heard the lady.
Striker wins reinstates it, hack pay
A Linden man has been or<
dered reinstated with full back
pay in the second of 200 cases
of men discharged by Lone
Star Steel Company in connec-
tion with the 1957 strike at the
plant.
The arbiter, Byron Aberne-
thy, returned the finding this
week in the case of Harvey A.
Washington of Linden.
The award ordered Wash-
' JMIPf
ington paid from Aug. 8, 1958
to the time of his reinstate-
ment. Aug. 8 is the date he
would have been called back
to work under an agreement
reached earlier.
In the - first case ruled on
last week, Abernethy denied
reinstatement to James Travis
Hudspeth.
He also denied reinstate-
ment to another man, Fred M.
Mason of Hughes Springs, in
a ruling handed down at the
same time as his decision to
order reinstatement of Wash-
ington.
Cases involving several oth-
er former steel plant employ-
ees have been heard but no
ruling has been made.

W. H. (Bill) HITT
Daingerfield man
to lead revival
A 12-day revival service will
start at the Dalton Baptist
Church Wednesday, July 29.
The service will be conduct-
ed each night through Aug. 9
by the Rev. W. H. (Bill) Hitt
of Daingerfield.
The Rev. O'Dell Rhyne,
pastor, issued an invitation to
the public to attend.
Cass county voters turned
down a proposed $275,000
bond issue to pay for road
improvements.
The vote in the special elec-
tion Saturday was 737 against
the bond issue and 554 for the
proposal.
The funds from the sale of
the bonds would have been
used to pay for right-of-way
on seven road projects now in
the planning stage.
Only the Douglassville box
in the Naples end of the coun-
ty favored the issue. The vote
there was 14 against it and 22
for it.
Bryans Mill had 30 votes
against it and 9 for, Dalton 9
against and 6 for, Marietta 35
against and 4 for, and Cornett
18 against and 5 for.

Heard dragged the boar
about a mile and a half to a
place he could go with his
truck.
Wild hogs squeal only when
they give up. This one never
squealed.
His tusks, about four and a
half inches long, curved back
in a vicious weapon for slash
ing an enemy.
Heard said he would put the
animal in his lot and feed him
until winter. Then he will go
the same way of his domesti
cated cousins. He will be
butchered.

Jim Smith, administrator of
Local 4134. United Steelwork-
ers of America. '
In his ruling. th& arbitrator
held that Washington was not
guilty beyond other partici-
pants in the strike.
Smith said Wednesday "We
call upon the company to now
show good faith by carrying
out the arbilration award."
"We hope that in accord-
ance with our contract, the
company will announce im-

Local melons
being advertised
Naples area watermelons
are being advertised again
this year in the Kansas City
Packer, a trade newspaper
circulated among truckers.
The advertising is paid
for by the Chamber of Cortt-
merct in an effort to create
a greater demand for local
melons.
The ad, to run two weeks
at a cost of about $100, di-
rects prospects to the local
buyer, Marvin Ranes.
nathy said it was not estab-
lished that the former Lone
Star employee "participated in
the planning, organizing and
execution of the wildcat strike
in the first instance. But it
does establish that beginning
Sunday morning and for the
duration of the strike, he took
an active part in it. . ."
Abernethy mentioned mass
picketing, inducing others to
join the strike, carrying a sign
containing the word "scabs"
as "being sufficient to estab-
lish conduct beyond mere par-
ticipation in the strike . . ."
