Health Care Sciences) were
the first ones accepted to the
newly instituted program in
Health Care Sciences follow-
ing approval by the UT Board
of Regents and Coordinating
Board, Texas College and Uni-
versity System.
Subsequently Truman G.
Blocker, Jr., MD, President
of UTMB, said that the so-
cial intent of the program
for the clinical associate is
to train the applicant for
practice in rural and medi-
cally deprived areas of the
State, not necessarily or par-
ticularly for the big city med-
ical center.
The six clinical associates
now enrolled at UTMB, all
from Texas, are Richard W.

Heard, Orange; Kathleen S.

Fort Richardson Room
Continues Tradition
Jacksboro Office of Olney
Savings’ Fort Richardson
Room, carries on a tradition
established with the complete
remodeling of the Olney Sav-
ings’ Home Office in Olney
during 1963.
When the Home Office was
doubled in size and completely
remodeled, a “Ranch Office"
was created to serve a dual
purpose.' First and foremost,
it was created to pay tribute
to the early day ranching era
of this section and to put on
display momentoes from the
early ranching days.
The original Ranch Of-
fice includes an old Edison
Phonograph with a complete
collection of old records, a
gun display, old chairs, pot-
bellied stove, and countless
items of memorabilia bring-
ing back the nostalgia at the
early settlers to this country.
Included are such things as a
1905 Gibson Girl Calendar,
ticket for the Wichita Falls
and Southern Railway from
Wichita Falls to Newcastle.
In late 1964, when the
Branch Office at Seymour
was established, a “Ranch
Office” was also created.
The idea caught on quickly
in Baylor County and the
week end with the Aaron Hulls Ranch Office in Seymour is
and attended the Henson re- unique with its own items
of historic interest, including
union Sunday at Jacksboro
VFW Hall. Carol remained
for a longer visit until the Hulls
taka her home July 4.
PERSONAL
Stephanie Sims and Sug
Schnault of GAbam spent
the week end with Mr. and
Mrs. W. A.-Stafford,
a 7-foot picture of the “First
Rodeo” in Baylor County,
rawhide horse bobbles, a
rattlesnake board display.
President McClatchy com-
mented that in establishing
the Fort Richardson Room,
the tradition of the Ranch
Office is being carried on;
the only change being that at-
tention is being brought not
only to the history of Jack
County but specifically to
the history that is woven
around the_establishment of
Fort Richardson in post Civil
War days.
As is the case with the other
“Ranch Offices,” the Fort
Richardson Room will be of-
fered to the citizens of
Jacksboro as a “public
private office” and as a
convenient place for the small
committee meetings that take
place in any town during the
course of any week. A snack
bar is included with coffee
pot and cold drinks, and Pre-
sident McClatchy stated that
every effort will be made to
make the Fort Richardson
Room a true “service room”
for private citizens as well
as small public meetings.

Weatherford presenting the
state.
Jack Q. Neal was attorney
for JJalpfi B. Brown and his
wife Doris Brown of Lake
Worth, while Ronald Aultman
represented Charlotte Hamil-
ton and Leroy Lafoon.
But the state wasn’t pre-
pared, since they had not
been able to serve Virginia
Garrett, key witness for the
prosecution.
So the visiting judge set
bond at $15,000 for each
defendant, and the attorneys
for the defendants quickly
had returned bond and they
were on their way.
The four were picked up
June 2, after a grand jury
here had returned indict-
ments, the Browns at Lake
Worth, the other two at Fort
Worth, and had been lodged
in Jack County jail since early
next morning.
They are charged with mur-
dering De Ann Cloninger and
Edith Shores, whose bodies
were pulled out of the stock
tank as result of a fishing
excursion by a Jacksboro
family.
