Bidders at this year's
sale will notice the use of
computer equipment for
the first time in the his
tory of the show. The
association plans to enter
bids into the computer in
order to streamline the
billing system.
In the past tapes have
been used to record bids
and then transcribed onto
tally sheets and hand
written bills sent to bid
tiers. Albany High School
computer instructor Cliff
Rose has developed a pro
^ram this year especially
for the sale. Hids will be
entered into the com
puters and bidders will
receive a computer bill
ing.
"Cliff Rose has
volunteered many hours
of work to develop this
program and we all hope
that the use of computers
will prove successful,"
said Humber. "We will
still have the tape recor
dings as back ups, but if
the computer method
works, it will save many
people many hours of
work trying to transcibe
the bids from the tapes."
Bidders at the sale will
be assigned numbers and
will hold up a large card
with their number on it
when bidding.
"We hope that
everyone will plan to at
tend the show ami sale It
will surprise you to see
the work put into the pro
jects of the Albany FFA
and Shackelford County
4 H boys and girls," Hum
ber concluded.
CARD OF THANKS

heartfelt thanks to our
family and friends for the
love that was shown us in
the death of our loved

4 candidates file for local races
By Donna Barranger
Four more candidates
have filed for public office
to be decided in the April
6 local elections, which
will seat representatives
on the Albany City Coun
cil, the Shackelford Coun
ty Hospital District Board
of Directors and the Alba
ny Independent School
Board.
Incumbent Mayor
Wayne Hogan has filed
for re election to his post
at City Hall.
In the Hospital Board
race, incumbents Alma
Neese and Sam Snyder
have both filed for an
other two year term. The
other incumbent in that
race, Donnie Lucas, has
not yet indicated whether
he will be seeking another
term. A total of three
directors will be seated in
the at large election.
Paul Cooper has filed
for Place Four on the Al
bany Independent School
District's Board of
Trustees, currently held
by Billy Green who has in
dicated that he will not be
seeking re election.
Jeff Jones and incum
bent Colton Johnson have
filed for Places One and
Three on the board. Jones
was appointed to the
board in December to fill
the unexpired Place One
term of John Tate.
Newcomers Bob Tid
well and Glenn Picquet
will be running for the
two city council seats cur
rently held by incumbents
Bobert Iludman and
Larry Shoemaker. Hud
man and Shoemaker have
not indicated whether
they will be seeking re
election to the council.
The filing deadline for
election to the boards has
been set for March 6. Per
sons who wish to run for
the Albany Independent
School Board may sign up
in the superintendent's of
fice at Albany High
School. Anyone wishing
to run for the office of ma
yor or city councilman
may file at City Hall.
Candidates interested
in holding a seat on the
hospital board are re
quired to complete an ap
plication form, and circu
late a petition which must
hold the names of 10 re
gistered Shackelford
County voters in order to
have their names placed
on the ballot. Application
forms and petitions are
available from the hospi-
tal's business office Mon
day through Friday from
8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
Absentee voting for the
election will begin on
March 18 and will contin
ue until April 2.
Absentee ballots may
be cast for the school
board election at the su-
perintendent's office.
Absentee ballots for
the hospital board elec
tion may be cast at the
County Clerk's office at
the County Courthouse
from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00
p.m.
Absentee voters are re
minded to present their
voter's registration card
when voting. New state
regulations require that
the cards be shown this
year in order to be given a
ballot.
"In the past we were
able to check names on

tary Liz Morrison. "This

and requires that voter
registration cards are
presented when voting
