i Home in ciiar-
Well. sir, the Coleman ’FIFA judg-
ing eoritapts are: history. A thing
like (hat 7lft^t4i.'nf^ for 8
lot of people. The spirit of coopera-
tion and interest .shown by the Cole-
man county folk is unique in agri-
cultural circles. The thanks and the
deep appreciation of Tom. the boys
and myself necessarily go to a lot
of people. First 1 might say that
the help of the county agents really
made the contests possible. Without
•he invaluable aid of Huck and Ray
we just couldn't have gotten by.
Huck not only served as superinten-
dent of the.livestock contest, but he
also hauled part of the stock in for
us. Ray did the same in the poultry
contest, Kirby Barton from out at
th>' vet school took care of the dairy
contest in good style And of course
J H and Felton Martin furnished
all the stock in that contest besides
putting it on at their place. Our
thanks also to Natjjan Cliett and
the BCD who helped sponsor the
contest; to Jim Gil), Jim Dibrell.
Johti Will .Vance, Clyde Thate,
Owen Bragg, Bob Ziikle. Billy John-
son. Jim Stokes. Eddie Whitt, E. W.
Scott, and Leonard Flippen who
furnished livestock and to the Valera
Stewarts who helped furnish the
poultry; to Jess Garrett who select-
ed the cattle for us along with Tom
and Huck; to Harold Prater and Ike
Edwards who did, a yoeman job in
the grading room; to Weldon Davis
who helped with the tabulating and
grading; to; T. L. Sparkman who
Hauled the cattle fot us in his
trucks; to all the Coleman FFA
members who helped as runners,
graders, section leaders, etc, and
to all the people who would have
furnished livestock or worked in
some other capacity if they had been
asked. The contests were a success
and we are proud of them and proud
to be living in Coleman County.
You know speaking of contests, I’
have participated in them from Po-
dunk to the state finals and never
before have I seen one chapter win
all three contests like Dublin did
here Saturday. A team has to be,
good and lucky to win one contest
but when they hit three in one day
they have got to be darn good and
just as lucky. Doyle Love, teacher
at Dublin is quitting there the first
to go with Murray Cox as his assist-
ant. I told him that he sure quit
on a good note!
The kids go to Tarleton Saturday
week for their area contest and then
to Fort Worth in April for the meats
and milk contests. Outside of those
the next big item on the Coleman
FFA calendar is the Father and Son
Banquet that we will hold before
school is out.
If it would fain now, the world
would be a pretty good place. Did
notice some green grain fields be-
tween here and Glen Cove and at
Jim Gills. That alone Is a cheering
sight in Coleman County.
George Washington was bom in
Virginia, at that time a British
Colony. ,

e’d like you to meet a neighbor on whom both of us depend.
He’s the man who operates the service station in your neighborhood.
You depend on him to take care of your car, to supply you with products of high
quality at reasonable prices. You expect, and get, from him more free service than from
any other merchant with whom you do business: whatever you spend, he cheerfully cleans
your windshield, checks your oil and tires, furnishes you with free battery Water* and
renders special services as you need them.
The oil companies depend on him as the independent merchant who distributes
their products. He demands, and receives, continuously improved products with which to
compete with his business rivals. He insists on reasonable prices that will move his mer-
chandise in volume. His progressive attitude is one of the chief reasons why the oil industry
has supplied you with better products at about the same prices over a long period of years.
It’s a pleasure to pay this tribute to a neighbor, to thank him publicly for Ibeing
such a friendly, dependable contact between the oil industry and its millions of customers.
He is not on our payroll, but we couldn’t do lousiness without him.
