Like father, like son - a limp runs in the family
A limp seems to run in the
Roberts family here.
It had covered three gen-
erations by this week.
Sharing an almost common
misery were Roy Roberts, his
son, Mike Roberts, 6, and his
father, W. L. Roberts, 66.
In chronological order, and
from bottom to top of the
family tree, here's the family
tale of woe:
The elder Roberts fell
while he and his son, Roy,
fished at the Mill Pond.
That was back on June 6.
His left hip was broken and
this week he still was using
crutches.
A week ago Sunday, his son,
Roy, was stocking shelves
with lawn mower parts at the
Western Auto Store he man-
ages here when he felt a
sharp pain in his left ankle.
He paid no attention to it
and kept working but Monday
morning he had to go to a
doctor to hrve it lanced be-
cause of an infection in it.
Then last Sunday, Mike was
holding the store door open
for his father when the door
slipped and caught the young-
sters left foot, mashing it and
knocking off his big toe nail.
And there the like-father,
like-son habit ends. Mike gets
around with bandages but no
crutch.

Lone Star recalls 500 employees
Lone Star Steel Company
resumed production in its No.
1 electric-weld pipe mill Mon-
day.
An estimated 500 employ-
ees were recalled from layoff
as a result of the re-opening
of the mill.
The production status, how-
ever, may be only temporary.
The company had orders for a
two-weeks run and then, if
there are no more orders, the
mill may be shut down again.
It was out of production
for about five weeks when
the company curtailed opera-
tion to keep pace with slow
market conditions.
The change in the employ-
ment picture at the plant oth-
erwise remained unchanged
this week.
Many of the plant's work-
ers are on a four-day sched-
ule and are likely to remain
oh it until the business pic-
Pewitt boy gets Lone Star Farmer degree
U
Monitoring
MAIN
STREET
R. M. Harvey, Pewitt stu-
dent, was awarded the Lone
Star Farmer Degree at thfe
33rd State Future Farmer of
America convention held in
Houston July 20-22.
He is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Clifton Harvey of route
1, Cookville.
Take Heed —
If you are used to keeping
a cautious eye out for high-
way patrolmen as you drive,
better be careful now.
They're not driving the
same type of patrol car they
have in the past.
Patrolmen Jimmy Williams
and Peyton Evans of Dainger-
field now arc cruising in a
new white Plymouth.
You're welcome.
Pointless —
Since Sam Hicks has been
showing off his extra good
strings of bass this week, you
may as well know that even
he isn't infallible as a fisher-
man.
Last week end he was cast-
ing an artificial bait and get-
ting lots of strikes but hang-
ing no fish at all.
Then he found out why.
He had failed to attach the
hooks to the lure.
Dr. James S. Leeves and
his wife, Peggy, shared a boat
and good luck with Hicks this
week and showed their filled
stringers around town,
together the three of them
45 bass — their legal
— and a good number
hem were three pounds
lid heavier.
/ Coach Wayne Huckabee was
' one of many who wanted to
know where they caught the
fish.
Dr. Leeves pulled out his
prescription pad, wrote hur-
riedly, and handed the slip
to Huckabee.
The directions were written
in Latin.
What's That? —
Sometimes the things we
don't print as they are sub-
mitted to us are as interest-
ing as those we do print.
Without saying who nor
when, someone once brought
a list of items to be run in
an advertisement.
Included on the list was a
"patted bra."

Two-faced kitten born to IV. L. Walls cat
W. L. Walls had a two-faced
cat for a while Saturday but
it didn't live.
The black kitten was found
by his son, Robert, 15, at their
home on route 3.
It had a split face — two
mouths, four eyes and two
noses, but only two ears.
The freak, apparently only
a few hours old when it was
found, did not have its eyes
open.
It lived only a short time
Ex-Naples woman likes roughing it

the "Career Girl" column of

Janie Hampton.)
A handsome pair of hand-
made hunting knives hanging
on the trailer house cabinet
doors over the head of her
bed worry Mrs. Rena Lobdell,
Double Seal Ring Co. recep-
tionist-secretary.
Although her knives, made
by husband H. E. (Cat), are
securely fastened, Mrs. Lob-
dell shares the feeling of the
ancient Greek Damocles who
once dined under a sword
hanging by a hair.
Year-round week end and
vacations are spent by the
Lobdells in their Lake Whit-
ney trailer house.
She, Cat. and daughter
Kaye, 15, adore fishing, water
skiing and hunting. Mrs. Lob-
dell goes after quail and dove,
and she got a new 16-gauge
shotgun for her birthday.
She likes to cook outside,
despises housework, doesn't
own an apron. Cat gets break-
fast, all three do the dishes
together at night and join to-
gether in house cleaning.
She keeps a double ward
robe — one for week ends,
one for business.
Mounted deer horns are
decorations in her home and
she doesn't hunt deer her-
self — "they're too inno-
cent." However, she enjoys
the venison Cat brings home.
A farm girl from near Na-
ples in Cass county, Mrs. Lob-

off their long planned Colo-

The kitten apparently was
normal from its ears back but
the front of the head was
divided into two separate and
distinct faces.
Walls brought the kitten to
Naples and together with Clif-
ford Wyninegar and Joe Stall-
ings preserved the body in a
jar of fluid.
The kitten was fhe only one
of a litter born to a mother
cat kept by the Walls family.

The company used the re-

require about two weeks. If
no other new business is

may be shut down again.
