VOLUME n HOWE, GRAYSON COUNTY, TEXAS, FEBRUARY 18, 1965 _NUMBER 33
PEOPLE
By Mame Roberts
Alvin W. Keele of Howe,
returned January 29th from a
a year’s service with the Air
Force in Viet Nam.
He was stationed at Qui
Nhom, the once sleepy little
nshing village on the South
China Sea, which has become
a tragic spot in world history.
Alvin tells the story of his
experience in Viet Nam and
Qui Nhom: “There is not
much that I can tell. I had a
job to do—we all did. I was
an automotive mechanic with
the Air Force. It was our job
to keep the supply vehicles
moving with food medicine,
and other strategic materials
for the trouble spots. Danger
lurked everywhere—day and
night.
“I was stationed in a billet
one block away from the en-
listed men’s billet, which was
the target of the assault
which has become a hazard-
ous conflict involving all the
great powers, and especially
our country, Russia and
China.
“How lucky I was, orders'
came for me to ship out iust
in time to miss the tragic
assault. I probably would
still be there—dead—I was so
near.
“There is a brighter side to
my story. My experience in
Viet Nam was educational.
“I first landed at Saigon. I
had a good look at the coun-
try; saw their living condi-
tions; the low health stand-
ards; the lack of educational
facilities and opportunities;
large families with huts for
homes. There was laziness,
indifference; no motivating
influences; no patriotism; so
much ignorance, but the peo-
ple were frendly.
“One could hardly think of
finding beauty in a place like
this. Viet Nam has a tropical
climate. There are beautiful
flowers blooming in spite of
the squalor.
“The Americans are giving
lessons in bravery, courage,
patriotism and what freedom
stands for—besides dying.
“Viet Nam may sometime
be a bright spot on the world’s
map due to the boys from
the U. S. A.”
Alvin is a graduate of Howe
High School. His parents are
Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Keele.
They have been living on a
farm west of Howe for the
past 14 years. They are now
building a home on South
Ricketts Street here where
they will make their future
home.

BASKETBALL
HOWE LOOSES A
SQUEEKER
In the third and final game
of the district playoff, the
Ilowe girls traveled to Whit-
esboro and in the first half
spotted the Collinsville girls
eleven points. That is, the
Collinsville girls led 27 to 16
and it looked as if our Howe
girls just couldn’t hit the
basket at all.
Then in the second half
Collinsville only scored 10
on field goals whereas Howe
ran up 24 points on field
goals, but during this half
Collinsville got five points on
free throws and Howe only
one and so the final score was
Collinsville 42, Howe 41. What,
a pitty!
However the Howe girls
did score more points in the
three game series than did
the girls from Collinsville.
The two wins for Collinsville
was by very small margins,
whereas the one win by the
,Howe girls was by a consider-
able score. But Collinsville
gets the trophy and so it goes
Look out next year. Wer’e
going to be in the basketball
race boteh boys and girls.
So come on children for next
year!
