same gun and by the same
assassin which killed the
President.
The thoughts and prayers
of the people of Texas should
be with the Governor and his
family, as they face this
time of tragedy.
Dallas
A city which not too long
ago hung its head in shame
as the result of the rude,
cheap and uncalled for man-
ner in which Adali Steven-
son, ambassador to the Unit-
ed Nations was treated, now
even more shows its shame.
Regardless of one’s at-
titude toward a man, a phil-
osophy, a position, there are
many ways to peacefully and
properly show one’s differ-
ence of opinion.
But the city should not be
blamed for either the great
tragedy of Friday or the as-
sault on Ambassador Stev-
enson. In the latter case, it
was a group, not representa-
tive of the majority of the
people of Dallas, or of the
responsible leadership of
the city.
And definitely in the shoot-
ing of President Kennedy
and Governor Connally, it
was but one man. He appar-
ently represented no one and

Evenings and Saturday
I am writing this note on
Sunday evening after spend-
ing the past two and one-
half days in front of our TV
set mourning with the rest of
the world over the loss of
our president. The tributes
paid to John F. Kennedy
have been meaningful and
beautiful and little has been
left to say in his behalf.
But tonight I am reminded
that we have also lost a
First Lady who has done so
much more than spend near-
ly three years in the White
House as a helpmate to her
husband. Mrs. John F. Ken-
nedy has spent a three-year
reign which could not have
been more regal had she held
the title of queen of this
land. On her own merits she
has endeared herself to the
now with his death, the rea-
sons behind his, if he were
the true assassin, will never
be known.
Much More
This is one occasion that
has give the people of this
nation more to think about
that any one thing in this
writer’s memory and, to make
a prediction, the one thing
which will lead a list of
things which made the most
people stop and think at one
given time.
Even though President
Kennedy was struck down by
an assassin’s bullet and
even though he was the
youngest president, either
fact enough to make him nev-
er to be forgotten, he has
left his mark on the pages
of history.

hearts of the whole world
and left her mark in this eta
of history.
This beautiful, charming
woman has used her wide
range of interests and tal-
ents to restore and redecor-
ate the White House thus
preserving much of the his-
tory of our country. As a
hostess she performed with
dignity and yet a warm grac-
iousness. The attention she
paid to the smallest details
gave her every undertaking
an air of perfection.
On her world travels she
did as much or more to give
a good image of our Ameri-
can ideals as many ambassa-
dors have been able to ac-
complish.
Her keen intellect snd
brillance as a conversation-
alist made her at ease in
circles of highest social af-
fairs of state and yet her
modest and friendly manner
identified her as a friend of
all.
As a mother with a spot-
light constantly focused on
her children, she has suc-
ceeded in keeping her two
children beautifully manner-
ed. She took time to share
the many experiences which
make childhood a pleasant
memory. Her love and de-
votion to her family is a
beautiful example.
The simple but elegant
taste which she had for
clothes has kept her name
important in the world of
fashion. Yet she has shown
that true beauty is of the
soul and not in adornments.
Her piety and faith added
even greater depths of rich-
ness of her life.
The old masterpieces of
the arts — music, paintings
.. — have been elevated
back to their rightful places.
She has restored the stead-
fastness found in tradition.
All this and so much more
she accomplished quietly,
completely unpretentiously.
Apart from her queenly grace
wa s this woman of triumphant
courage coupled with a deep
sense of devotion to duty.
Her strength of character in
grief-stricken moments is
a rare gift. Her gentle way
and mindfulness of common
courtesies raised femininity
to a new height.
The United States has
been deprived of one of the
finest and most outstanding
symbols of its womanhood.

LocalJaycees
To Collect Milo
For Boys Ranch
For the third straight year,
Area One Jaycees are team-
ing up with farmers, ranch-
ers, and businessmen of the
Texas panhandle to help the
more than 300 boys at Cal
Farley’s Boys Ranch.
Panhandle Jaycees are
among the more than 30 Jun-
ior Chambers of Commerce
who are collecting grain and
roughage from area produc-
ers, and helping with the de-
livery to Boys Ranch for the
livestock there. The “Jay-
cee's Grain-Sorghum for Boys
Ranch” program is now an
annual project that began in
1961 to help the boys care
for their livestock. The ranch
does not have the pasture-
age needed to grow the large
amount of feed necessary for
the animals each year.
At the present time, 3 1 ^
boys are being cared for,
trained and educated at the
ranch. The 52 dairy cows
milked by the ranchers pro-
vide over 100 gallons of
milk daily for them. The boys
also fatten the beeves that
are donated to the ranch, av-
eraging about 20 at a time in
the pens.
The livestock program also
include 45 horses and more
than 400 hogs. The FFA
swine production program
alone averages more than
2000 pounds of feed daily.
Many of the boys raise pigs
for projects, and more than
40 sows and gilts are kept
for breeding. Around 275
hogs are processed ' each
year by older boys who take
butchering and meat cutting
for their vocational training.
Ronald Kotara is president
of the Panhandle Jaycees,
and Don Parsons of Dimmit
is Area Project chairman.

. The small savings you might make on
"discount" buying can be quickly wiped out
by NO SERVICE, NO DELIVERY,
NO EXCHANGES, and NO RETURNS
There's SO MUCH MORE to satisfactory shopping than price (especially
at Christmas time, when so much of what you boy is for others!) Fact
is, no "discount" price can assuredly be lower than the prices charged
by legitimate merchants, whose prices are generally not regulated or
fixed. Your local merchant often trims his prices to "Wholesale" levels
[as a way of thanking you for past patronage; or as an inducement
for you to visit his store.
But, even though he may drop his retail prices, your dependable
merchant never drops his service! That's why he has been in business
as long as he has. His customers have learned that he stands behind
everything he sells. He has earned his reputation for reliability.
DON'T “DISCOUNT” DELIVERY
DON'T “DISCOUNT” INSTALLATION
Remember, when you buy merchandise, ;
deliver to your home. The responsibility for i
>ur regular merchant will
ife arrival is his, not yours.
DON'T “DISCOUNT” EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES
We all make mistakes when it comes to baying gifts for others. When
sizes, color, style, or model are wrong, your conscientious merchant
wants to make it right. He wants the responsibility of making your
presents please.
Items such as washers, dryers, stoves, television sets, air conditioners
>e easily ruined by improper “do-it-yourself” installation
you have it installed by j
can he easily ruined by improper “do-it-yourself” installations. When
you have it installed by your dependable home-town merchant, the re-
sponsibility is k’T. He backs the factory guarantee to the hilt, not only
on appliances, hut also on tools, paints, farm and home supplies, furni-
ture, and any other item you can think of.
DON'T “DISCOUNT” A RELIABLE
MERCHANT'S NAME ON THE PACKAGE
DON'T “DISCOUNT” RETURN PRIVILEGES
Sometimes the thing that looked so "right” in the store turns out to be
so wrong! Nobody knows this better than yonr regular merchant, and
part of his way of doing regular business is to accept the return of
such merchandise in good condition without argument.
You can be doubly proud of giving gifts that come from a good legitimate
store. The name of a locally-known merchant on the bo* shows yon
. that yon cared more about satlsfac-
weren’t trying to cat corners
tion than price!
