SAYRE, Okla. lAP) - Ted
Estes was so angry at getting a
speeding ticket that he donated
$500 to buy the town’s police
new uniforms.
Estes, a local businessman,
was cited a week ago by officer
Charles Midkiff for driving 42
mph in a 25 mph zone. He tried
to talk Midkiff out of the ticket,
and accused him of writing
citations only to generate city
revenue.
“I said, ‘If that’s the case, we
wouldn’t be going around
buying our own uniforms,"’
Midkiff said he told Estes.
Estes promptly paid the
ticket and chipped in $500 for
new uniforms.
Women are becoming an
increasingly important part of
the growth of Hopkins County
both in business and social
services. Beta Sigma Phi and
the Hopkins County Chamber of
Commerce wifi present a Lady
of the Year award to an ex-
ceptional woman in mid-
January.
Women are making im-
portant contributions in
community life, business,
government, social welfare and
education. Lady of the Year
officials are asking the com-
munity to nominate out-
standing women in the com-
munity for the title.
“The importance of the
nomination can’t be stressed
enough," says Virginia Hen-
derson, co-chairwoman.
“There are so many women out
doing things quietly and unless
they are nominated, they may
never become known." The
nominators are kept secret
This is the third year for the
Lady of the Year in Hopkins
County. The first Lady of the
Year in 1977 was Lavonne
Randolph. Mrs. Randolph was
chosen for her work witt
children with various problem*
as a foster mother. Pat Debord
won the 1971 title for her work
with retarded children and the
Opportunity Center.
“This is not an award strictly
for volunteer work. There are
exceptional teachers and
working women in the com-
munity. We want the public to
let us know who they feel is the
most exceptional woman in the
community," said Ms. Hen-
derson.
"So many women here have
families and full time jobs plus,
they still find time to devote to
others. • But, the Lady of the
Year can be an exceptional
woman in any field," said the
co-chairwoman.
This isa busy time at year for
everyone, but there are many
women in the community who
make valuable contribution*
throughout the year, said an
official. One of these women
will be selected as the Hopkins
County Lady of the Year.
The nomination should in-
clude a resume at activities.
The resume should list the
activities for past years as well
as 1978. The woman will be
selected for her ac-
complishments in 1978 as well
as m years past
The committee is asking that
nominations be mailed to P.O.
