Personals

You left out Joe’s Jots in
the October 19th issue. If
I am correct this is the first
time you have missed since
my last letter. Well, I guess
you are entitled to a rest
once in awhile. You have
been doing a good job of re-
porting all of the information
about the Archer County Ju-
nior Livestock Show which is
coming up in November.
What ever happened to the
Archer Industrial foundation?
Has there been any work done
on securing any new industry
for the county? I would like
to congratulate Archer City on
getting some new business in
your fair city.
Now for some information
about an article that appeared
a few weeks ago. Does the
County plan to build a new
jail? I have driven past the
old jail several times, but
have never looked Inside. To
me a new jail would be about
the same as a farmer buying
a twelve thousand dollar com-
bine to harvest twenty acres
of wheat. Most of the other
states have gone to regional
jails to save the taxpayers
money. Yes, we may need
just a few cells to hold per-
sons awaiting trial, but to go
spend thousands of dollars to
build a fancy jail will not
help the taxpayers. In my
visits with farmers in our
area they want good roads
more than anything else.
Why can’t our county have a
five or ten year plan to build
some modern asphalt paved
roads that would serve all
the people? A new modern
jail would only benefit the
people that work in this field
and the persons awaiting trial.
If only the mail and school
bus routes in this county were
black-topped this would bene-
fit more people than a new
jail.
Since our County Tax Bill
is about $322,000 why don’t
we get an account of where
our money goes? What do
County Commissioners get as
a salary? Several of us were
talking the other day about
Archer County Business and
there is a lot of informa-

tion that is not published that
we would like to see published.
We do not have time to go
over to the Court House, and
ask what land has been trans-
feree I am still waiting for
the Court House to put out
a published list of persons
that the Sheriff has arrested
for crimes.
My son got a ticket for not
having a tag on a farm trail-
er the other day and if that
information was published
more farmers would get tags
and not get caught because
they did not know farm trail-
ers needed tags. I did not
know a pipe trailer used on
the farm needed a tag, but
we know that it does now.
I am not running for any of-
fice, the only thing I am
running for is retirement. 1
am interested in good govern-
ment. Good government be-
gins with a well informed
public.

Youre looking
at one of the
nice things
about an
electric dryer
Drying a wet teddy bear,
or other stuffed toys
labeled "washable', is just
one of many things you
can do with a flameless
electric dryer.
There are plenty of others
Like dusting draperies.
Airing bed covers.
Your instruction booklet
is your best guide to the
many unique capabilities
of your electric dryer.
Read it carefully and file
for ready reference.
One of the big advantages
of electric dryers is that
you can get control fea-
tures which automatically
determine the temperature
and drying time needed
for various fabrics.
This fabric selector is
particularly helpful in this
modern age of care-free
polyesters and other per-
manent press fabrics.

Versatility is just one
more reason why flameless
electric dryers are
America's favorite.
Fluffing pillows.
And many,
many more.
