PANTHERS WIN
TWO GAMES
Coach Nolan Poteet’s Panther
cage crew got off to a good start
this season with victories over
Canyon Friday night and Groom
this Tuesday. The Girls managed
a split—losing to Canyon but tak-
ing the victory over Groom girls.
Accuracy at the free throw line
contributed to a 46-39 victory for
Panhandle over Canyon. The girls
lost by a 38-52 score.
Six players for Panhandle hit
the scoring column and 28 points
were scored on free throws in
making the big difference in the
game. For an opening game, the
Panthers committed very few mis-
cues and Jiandled the ball well.
In the Groom game, the girls
ran up a one point lead in the
first half and then left the oppo-
sition behind as they ran up a
59-42 count. The Panthers were
hard-pressed' all- the way and the
game wasn’t decided until the
final whistle. Good, scoring by
four Panthers helped keep the
lead. Doug Bednorz hit for 17;
Kenneth Jay contributed 12 and
Mike Stone and John Hatton hit
9 eack.

‘Mail Early For

Miller Urges
Postmaster Uoyd Miller this
week announced1 his annual “Mail
new building has been erected at
another location in the south
part of town facing the Groom
Highway. It has 11,000 square
feet of floor space and was con-
delivery of all Christmas gifts
and cards by Christmas Eve.
“Public cooperation,” he said,
“has been a key factor in moving
Christmas mail on time in recent
structed at an approximate cost years, and I am hopeful that it
of $90,000. In addition, much of
the lumber from the old building
was used and some labor was
contributed by trae members.
The exterior of the building is
of salmon pink brick in modified
Gothic architecture. The picture
window is dominated by the pic-
ture of Christ known as “Come
will be even better this year.”
The Postmaster urged patrons
of the Panhandle Post Office to
start mailing Christmas ‘packages
now. Packages to distant places
especially should be mailed as
early as possible.
“This is also the week to pre-
pare and mall your out-of-town

Dec. 6 at 7:30 p.m. in a premiere
showing at the First Baptist
Church.
The spiritual conquest of a con-
tinent saw three and a half mil-
lion persons attend 114 meetings
in cities spanning 3,350 miles
from Perth on Australia’s west
coast to the three principal cities
of New Zealand to the southeast.
In addition the rest of the nation
shared in the event • through tele-
vision, radio and a system of land
line relays which penetrated the
heart of Australia’s “Outback.”
Highlights of the film include
the climatic service of the Mel-
bourne crusade as 140,000 persons
jammed the Cricket Grounds to
provide the largest single crowd
ever to attend a Billy Graham
meeting. The closing service of
the Sydney crusade is document-
ed, an event which saw two ad-
joining grounds crowded to ca-
pacity as 150,000 persons gather-
ed, 5,648 of them responding to
Dr. Graham’s invitation to com-
mit their lives to Christ.
Interwoven throughout the
Crusade scenes are glimpses of
Australia and New Zealand coun-
tryside and animal life, giving
the viewer a warm introduction to
the Land Down Under.
Firemen promptly put out
what could have been a dis-
astrous fire at the Panhan-
dle Grade School Thursday
morning.
The fire started in one of
the primary grade class-
rooms. There was some wat-
er and smoke damage, not
estimated at press time.
Earlier in the day fire-
men made a call to a fire in
a bus north of town. How-
ever, the fire was under
control when the firemen
arrived.

ply with their regular allotments,
Choice (B) includes 40-per cent-

In the’very near future we will
begin’ measuring the 1960 crop

persons, which means we will be
asking you to assist in measuring
the wheat on your farm.
As in the past, we are asking
for your cooperation. The budget

work, therefore, performance
costs must be held to a minimum.
