New Farm Column
Solid Support Favoring Sewer
Extension Seen in Daily D.-V. Poll
The Daily D-V—and Coleman
County, too—is fortunate in hav-
ing in its midst a man of many
facets. And today we’re turn-
ing on one of the faucets, if you’ll
pardon the pun, with the initial
column of “Across the Fence,”
by Jake Joyce.
Jake, who is often so busy he
has a hard time keeping up with
himself, is well-known to Cole-
man county. Crowding duties
as senior vocational agriculture
instructor at Coleman High and
substitute coach of the Coleman
Junior High School football team
into 24 hours a day is no mean
feat, but Jake does it. And in
addition he has now taken on the
responsibility of supplying a
weekly column for the Daily
D-V’s farm page every Wednes-
day.
Born on a hill one and one half
miles from Rising Star, he es-
caped with his life at the age of
foitr days when his house burned
down. He blames the fire on
someone who had taken a look
at him. but there has been no
evidence to verify the charge.
He moved around Texas but
returned to Rising Star to go to
high school and to play football.
He graduated A&M in 1940
with a degree in Agricultural
Education and a minor in Agro-
nomy.
While with the Soil Conserva-
tion Service, he rsetvlovely Hor-
tense Paxton in Elkhart and
changed her name to Joyce. They
have two children. Ann, 6, and
Gene, 3.
A guy with endless enthusiasm,
Joyce likes to teach agriculture.
Asked about organization affilia-
tions, he said, “You name it.
I’m in it.”
He’s a member of the Kiwanis
Club, the Farm Bureau, the BCD,
the Breeder-Feeders. He also is
a Mason and a teacher of a Sun-
day School class at the Methodist
Church.
As Jake puts it, "Anything any-
one can’t get anyone else to do,
they ask me to do. In fact they
say, ‘If you can’t get it done,
call Jake. He’s got a truck and
lots of boys.’
The Daily D-V’s poll on Cole-
man city sentiment for or against
next Tuesday's $75,000 sewer
bond election today again reflect-
ed solid suoport for the proposed
sewer line extension on the North
sidp. Of Those contacted, one
