LOCAL GUNSHOT VICTIM
James White's
Death Mourned
Seldom have the residents of
Clifton and adjoining communities
been as grief-stricken as they were
last week upon learning of the
death as the result of a hunting ac-
cident of James White, 14-year-old
only son of Mr. and Mrs. M. R.
(Pat) White, who live just west of
this city.
James died at approximately
12:35 o’clock on Wednesday after-
noon, November 22, in the Clifton
hospital, when every means had
been exhausted in an effort to save
his life after he was critically in-
jured near his home from a gun-
shot wound at 5:40 o’clock Mon-
day afternoon.
It is understood that James de-
cided to go hunting, a pastime
which he enjoyed greatly, at about
4:45 o’clock that afternoon after
his return home from school, where
he was a freshman student in Clif-
ton High School.
Following the accident James
was able to tell his parents that
he was sitting in a tree near a
tank approximately one-half mile
from his home when he saw a
buck. He said that he turned to
get a shot at the buck and acci-
dentally fell to the ground, with
his rifle discharging and the bullet
causing injury to his liver, large
intestine, and stomach prior to
lodging in his back.
James returned home, called his
mother, got into their car which
was in the garage, and was driven
to the hospital by Mrs. White. A
four-hour emergency o pe r a t i 0 n
was performed that night, at which
time his spleen was removed and

Mr. White always had told his
son that, in case of an accident, he
should follow a fence line to get
help. Evidence pointed to the fact
that following his serious injury
late Monday of last week James
did what his father had told him.
His cap was found along the fence
line leading from the accident
scene toward his home
Obituary Follows
James Richard White was born
on January 3, 1947, at the
Goodall and Witcher Clinic-Hospi-
tal in Clifton. He was the only
son of Mordis Richard White, a
son of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse M.
White, of Clifton, and Mrs. Nelda
Krueger White, a daughter of the
late F. W. Krueger and Mrs. Martha
Behnke Krueger, of Valley Mills.
For almost a year following his
birth James and his parents made
their home with his grandparents,
the Whites, at their place on the
west edge of Clifton. Nearly all of
the remainder of his lifetime he
and his family resided in their
home at the crest of the hill along
Farm-To-Market Road 219 west of
this city.
James began school in the first
grade of the Clifton Public Schools
and had been an outstanding stu-
dent in his class during the en-
suing years. He was popular with
his fellow students, made excellent
grades, and was held in esteem by
his teachers. At the time of his
death he was a freshman student
in Clifton High School, as previous-
ly mentioned.
Only a short time ago James
was elected president of the Green-
hands, first year vocational agri-
culture students in the local school.
Hp took great interest in his agri-
culture projects, which this year
had been a cow and calf. In the
near future he also had expected
to add broilers.
During the past football season
James was a member of the B
squad of the Clifton High Cubs.
He was unable last summer to play
baseball with the other youngsters
his age because of a broken arm,
but the previous year he was a
member of the Green Team and
also had participated during other
seasons.
James became a member of the
First Methodist Church in Clifton
in 1958 and always was regular in
his attendance and faithful in his
remittances.
Hunting and fishing were the
sports that James liked best of all.

in the near future.
Bruce Lindsey, of Route 2, Meri-
dian, reported on education and
research. He told of how it had
been found that evolution and so
cialism are being taught in many
public schools, that pupils are be'
ing taught to deny the deity of
God, and that the word moral had
been knocked out of most schools,
all of which are resulting in pupils
believing in Communism.
The rural roads program was
explained by Calvin Rueter, of Star
Route 1, Clifton. He stated that
the group voted to let the Texas
Farm Bureau directors work with
the governor and highway com-
mission on that program, but they
were told to stay as close as pos-
sible with the present farm-to
market program.
Mr, Rueter also reported on the
REA program and stated that many
people have the opinion that Farm
Bureau opposes the REA. The Na
tional Farm Bureau Federation
strongly supports the REA pro-
gram. It only wants it to be car
ried out in the way it was started.
Floyd M. Key, Bosque County
Agent, reported that the dates for
the Driver Re-Training Clinic be
ing sponsored by the Home Demon-
stration Club Council and the Bos-
que County Farm Bureau have

school year, 1961-1962, is expect-
ed to be considerably above that
of the last full school year.
The increase from an expendi-
ture of $206,603 55 this past year
to a budgeted figure of $240,048.00
for this school year is largely due
to the increase in pay received by
the teachers and a jump in the
amount of bonds becoming payable
this school year.
The increase in pay to teachers
amounts to approximately $33,500.-
00; the increase in the debt service
payments is approximately $16,500.-
00.
In order to balance the expendi-
tures with the income a tax in-
crease of five cents on the $100
valuation was made; however, the
teachers’ increase in pay is borne
by the state, which passed the
sales tax to take care oi this and
other state expenses.
It is estimated that the total
income for the school will be $225,-
411.00. which, with the $30,01128
balance on hand September 1,
should be sufficient to take care
of the expected expenditures of
$246.048 00
Total assessed value of the prop
erty in the Clifton Independent
School District is $4.693 041. Rev-
enue from this property and money
from delinquent tax payments is
expected to bring about $68,050.00
locally, of which 74% will go for
local maintenance and 26% for
the interest and sinking fund. All
other revenue comes from state
and federal sources.

of the debt service for this year

usually large. The large debt ser-
vice is due to one of the old bonds,
which could not be paid in advance

the large balance on hand k a re-
sult of the school board’s setting
aside funds to earn interest from
time to time to pay the old bond
on its due date in 1962.
