associated with his parents in the
operation of a grocery and market
in Morgan. Then he dealt in live-
stock and also operated a trucking
concern for several years. However,
for the past 25 years of bis lifetime
Mr. Ringer was interested solely
in trucking, his business primarily
being concerned with the transport-
ing of livestock to and from Bosque
County.
On September 29, 1939, in Mor-
gan Mr. Ringer married Miss Odes-
sa M. Anderson, a daughter of Mr.

tion as IBhg as funds are available
from the $45,000.00 bond issue for

get together and find out how far
they can go toward curbing and
extending the pavement to their
property lines and report such mat-
ter to the city office or council.

Wheat Referendum
Has Two Big Issues
Farmers have two issues to de
cide in Hie June 20 wheat referen-
dum, according to Clyde Henry,
chairman, Bosque County Agricul
tural Stabilization and Conserva-
tion Committeie. -
The first issue is whether market-
ing quotas will be in effect, carry
ing with it penalties on excess
wheat farms. The second issue is
the level of price support for the
1959 crop of wheat,
A two-thirds majority vote is re-
quired to approve wheat marketing
quotas. Once'quotas are approved,
penalties for production In excess
of the farm quota are in effect for
all farms in the 38 commercial
wheat states (farms with 15, acres
or less and compliers .with feed
wheat program are exempted). The
farm quota is generally all the
wheat produced on the farm acre-
age allotment. Under quotas, also,
price support on the 1959 crop of
wheat will Be available at a mini-
mum national -average of $1.81 a
bushel (75 per cent of estimated
parity).
Mr. Henry explains that if more
than one-third of the voters dis-
approve quotas, there will be no
penalties for excess production.
Allotments will remain in effect,
but only as a condition of eligibil-
ity for price support. Price support
will be available at 50 per cent of
parity to those farmers who plant
within their allotment.
Mr. Henry urges all eligible vo-
ters to cast their ballots. The poll-
ing placer will be the Meridian Fire

CLIFTON'S LITTLE LEAGUERS

Parents and baseball fans

but the scrappy Green Club defeat-
ed the Reds 10 to 5. This result left

Lions Raise $263
Through Tie Sale
Clifton Lions Club members dug
deeply into their pockets at the an-
nual tie sale held Tuesday at the
club’s regular luncheon meeting in
the City Hall dining room and rais-
ed $263 00 to help in the various
projects the club carries on through-
out the year.
Each Lion had to assist the chief
auctioneer. Lion George Arnold,
auction off his tie, then buy back
another one, as each Lion was re-
quired to have a tie before leaving.
Several went to considerable
trouble to add to the value of their
ties by adding paintings of Hawaiian1,
bathing girls, campaign buttons, as-
pirin, worms, samples of pills, etc.,
but many of the ties were out-of-
date models that the Lions’ wives *
were glad to dispose of.
Sale prices averaged better than
$6.00 a tie, with the top price of
$12.00 being paid by the “south
table group,” which appeared to be
trying to corner the market in or-
der to put the squeeze on some "of
the buyers who seemed to be hold-
ing out for lower prices.
George Stevens, guest fromr
Waco, drew a hand from the group
when he entered into the fund-rais-
ing campaign by selling his tie.
then later buying another tie at a
stiff price.
The sale brought plenty of fun;
and as ,the Lions know that the
money is badly needed for carrying
out the activities of the club, the
manner in which the entire group
entered into the auction was sin-
cerely appreciated by the finance
committee.
President Odie C. Pederson noti-
fied the club that it was time to
