of the votes which may have
gone to Mr. Stone.
The entry of Mrs. Johnson in
the race coupled with a fast-mov-
ing radio campaign by Mr. Clark
near the vote deadline was cred-
ited with bringing out the record
number of voters.
Voting was comparatively hea-
vy from the time polls opened at
8 a.m., said Election Judge Ru-
fus Mitchell.
"I want to thank the people of
Seminole for their confidence In
me," said Mayor Denton Thurs-
day.
"We still are working toward
building a better town and for
the things that benefit our city
and our home. The Board of Al-
derman is just as interested as
.anyone else In building Seminole.
"The city meetings have been
and will remain, open meetings
where the public is welcome to
visit or to bring to us their prob-
lems."
The mayor said that while
Seminole Is faced with problems
of a growing city, the Board of
Aldermen will do its best to meet
the Increased demands for muni-
cipal services and will continue
improvement of city govern-
ment In every manner possible.
"We always are striving for
Improvement," said the mayor.
Alderman Wright, In charge of
the city's water and sanitary sew-
er programs, said he, too, want-
ed to thank the voters for the
confidence they placed in him
at the polls Tuesday.
"I will fill the office with sin-
cerity and the best of my ability,"
he said. "We will cooperate every
way possible to continue to stay
up with the growth of the town.
We do not want to slow down,"
Steger Surprised
Alderman Steger who is in
sanitation programs, expressed
charge of the city's health and
frank surprise at the number of
votes he received.
"And I certainly want to thank
the people who supported me and
put their confidence in me," he
said.
"A growing population always
creates health and sanitation
problems, and I, along with the
other members of the board, will
do my best to meet these prob-
lems and continue to make 1m-

itary sewer line extension to

The sewer line extension will
connect with a large trunk sew-

their city.
Commissioners Court members
pledged their support to the Sem-
inole-Seagraves bid to retain the
roadway.
The court members along with
municipal representatives will
meet with District Highway En-
ginner S. C. McCarty of Lubbock
to discuss needed right-of-way
for highway Improvement, but
no date has been set for the
meeting.
"What the towns want Is what
we want," said County Judge
Charles Lawrence. "Of course,
what Is done within the city lim-
it lines Is municipal business,
but we are willing to cooperate
any way we can."
In Seminole, widening of High-
way 51 may pose a problem In
the downtown area, depending
upon the width demanded by the
state. Judge Lawrence said,, how-
ever, that Seminole right-of-way
alignments not yet have been
designated.
He said that the road, when
improved through Brownfield,
came through that town on a 100-
foot right-of-way.
Seminole has that much right-
of-way in the Courthouse block,
but blocks to the north and to
the south may create a right-of-
way problem.

ped from the window to check
the account. A signal was given
the waiting officers.
Ranger Renfro approached the
suspect. A six-foot-two-inch, 180-
pound man, he towered over the
be-spectacled five-foot-eight-inch,
145-pound suspect. The suspect
peered upward at the ranger
through his horn-rimmed glass-
es, then collapsed. Ranger Ren-
fro caught him before he hit the
floor.
The man answered the descrip-
tion of a swindler who had pull-
ed- the same routine on banks at
Odessa, Lamesa and Colorado
City as well as at Seminole. In
each instance, checks were de-
posited at victim banks from the
last victimized bank.
Deputy Simmons said he found
blank checks in the man's 1949
Chevrolet auto from banks at
Seminole, Colorado City, Lame-
sa, Snyder, Odessa and two Mid-
land banks. A founfl bank deposit
book showed the man had depos-
ited $1,300 in February in a Mid-
land bank, Deputy Simmons said
