By MICHAEL L. GRIFFIN
Participation at the Y.C. has been low during the
day. Most of the kids are working all day or swim-
ming all day. It shouldn't be long before the swim-
ming gets old and people realize that the Y.C. is
open every afternoon from 2:00-6:00 p.m.
Friday is surprise day at the Y.C. Naturally, I
can not tell you about it. The only way to find out
is to come by or ask someone after he has been bv
the Y.C. 1
Saturday night we will have a football toumamert
--all participants must register by 6:00 p.m. on
Saturday. The awards will be given at the conclu-
sion.
By the way. we all enjoyed Barbara Streisand in
For Pete s Sake last night. We have some more
movies scheduled throughout the summer.

Maryland,
It was selected for its
outstanding landscaping
which requires a minimum
of care, very practical
now since the Nevills are
a retired family, able to
travel at will without the
lawn and shrubs suffering
from lack of watering.
Yellow jasmine show
very effectively, senisa on
the south fence line and
wax leafed legustrums, an
Italian cypress and pyrecarr-
thea spaced to show a var-
iety in heights around the
home. The lawn has de-
veloped into a cushion of
lush, healthy carpet grass
under the elm trees that
shade in on the West front.
The Nevills have a vari-
ety of fruit trees in the
backyard as well as pecan
trees. They have planted
a limited garden, later
than usual this year con-
taining tomatoes, peppers,
onions, lettuce. Their rose
bushes have shown prolific
blooms. Of particular in-__
terest, is a climbing potato planted as the front with
orname"tality a different variety of trees
such as the Lombardy pop-

THANKS FOR KEEPING IT
COMING!!!!! I enjoy the
newspaper and it is the only
way of keeping up with my
old friends from my child-
hood days. As I travel
around the world I have
many occasions to reflect
back on those good old days
in "West Texas". The ex-
periences that I had and
the good solid people I
knew and loved there have
really been an asset to me
in my travels.
Sincerely,
Jack Owens
P.S. I like the new format.
TEXON POLO PLAYER--Ike Chaffin of Big Lake was the

back yard.
The home of Mr. and
Mr. Ralph Duesing at 806
Maryland shows this weeks
selection to be honored by
Reagan Garden Club.
Since both are gardeners
a variety of shrubs, plants,
and vegetables have been
successfully cultivated in
Big Lake that ordinarily are
not tried, or are tried and
abandoned.
The entrance sidewalk is
flanked by monkey grass
and English ivey ana the
front flower beds holding
miniature fairy pink roses
ular, fig and fruit trees.
Rower beds show color all
year with iris, cornflower^
larkspur, delphiniums, lu-
pines, geraniums and se-
veral hanging baskets.
Roses were first planted in
a raised bed holding a sta-
tue, but are now blooming
throughout the yard in
various locations. The
Duesings have successfully
grown a wisteria vine from
seed that has held large
abundant clusteR of blooms.
About two yeaR ago a
greenhouse was located in
the south side of the back
lawn where the couple mavl
is also bordered by the ivey, "-UU,J1C
A large double pink oleander) wlint^r*^eir morie treasured
on the south corner lends " ’
showy blossoms each year
despite being frozen back in
severe winter weather.
The oak trees planted in
a cluster on the north lawn
also contain a bed of bloom-
ing plants each year. Nan-,<

the year.
The back lawn is as wel
plants for an early beginnirg^
of the next season. i
