. Telephones rang the
fay along South Avenue A.
Folks living on that street have
been busy people during the
past few weeks. These numbers
were answered:
6-4206 — This address turned
out to be 704 South Avenue A.
Living here are Pat and Jack
Sharp. Pat says she has been
having a leisurely summer and
two of the three' children are
now in school. School-agers are
Peggy, 10, in the fifth grade,
and Terry Lynn, 6, who is be-
ginning that all important first
grade.
Surprisingly the third little
one, Emily Vivien, who is 4,
doesn’t seem to miss the older
children so much . . . rides her
tricycle and plays with a few
playmates.
4171 — This used to be the
number for Earl and Benona
Adams at 705 South Avenue A,
but they’ve moved . . . over to
811 Bellaire. They bought the
home of Jake and Marguerite
Jones but took their telephone
number with them.
They’ve been busy as can be,
getting things fixed up around
the new home. Their guests
have included Earl’s brother
and wife, Mr. and Mrs. J. G.
Adams of Ozona.
The Adams may have been
busy, but he’s one to take time
to go fishing. Mama and Papa
Adams and son, Eddie, who is
12, go to San Angelo often as
possible for fishing and skiing.
Benona reckons she’s the
slow-poke in the skiing depart-
ment. Husband Earl and Son
Eddie caught on right quick.
She loves the sport and can
ski but mostly she operates the
boat for her skiing fellows.
2904 — 708 South A . . . every-
body knows this is where J. E.
and Lucy Shillingburg live.
They’ve had quite a summer
. . . and now she has climaxed
it with a toothache. Seems she
was having a tooth pulled and
it broke off . . . she’s not been
comfortable, either.
Ere that they went to Lake
Brownwood for about a week
and wound up in Dallas. Seems
everytime the Shillingburgs
start out they eventually get to
Dallas.
That’s where their daughter,
and family, Don and Barbara
Lish, with their two sons, Mike
2, and David, 3, live. Mr. and
Mrs. Shillingburg and son, Tom-
my, made a second trip to Dal-
las. They never get tired of the
two little grandsons.
Another son, James, one of
Kermit’s great football players,
has been home during the sum-
mer, working as a roughneck,
waiting for school to begin. This
year he will be Physical Edu-
cation coach of Mathews Jun-
ior High School in Lubbock.
James’ wife, Larri Jean, has
attended Texas Tech during the
summer and plans to continue
Special Service
Set at Church
Rev. James Hart of El Paso
will be guest minister at Bethel
Temple Assembly of God
Church, Wednesday, Sept. 6,
for a special service.
The regular pastor, Rev. Roy
F. George, said the service will
include the showing of a film,
The Ghanaian. It was filmed in
Ghana by the T. L. Osborn
Evangelistic Association, of
which Rev. Hart is a repre-
sentative.
The program will begin at
7:30 p.m. at the Church and the
public is invited to attend, Rev.
George said.
education tnere while Hus-
band James tends his teaching
chores.
Besides all this, there has
been company and company at
the Shillingburg home. Included
were his brother and sister-in-
law, Mr. and Mrs. Paul C.
Shillingburg of Cleburne, and
her sister and brother-in-law,
Mr. and Mrs. Audrey Howell of
Stephenville .'. . just to name
a few.
3512 — Mr. and Mrs. Delmar
Flowers live here, 709 South
Avenue A, but it was their
daughter, Mrs. Gene Richard-
son of 727 Robinson, who an-
swered and did the talking.
Chow-chow was the project
they had under way, Mrs. Rich-
ardson is awaiting the arrival
of their second child and,
woman-like at such times, de-
veloped a longing for something
special . . . hers was for chow-
chow.
Makings were bought at the
grocery store. “It’s an expen-
sive batch,” the honoree said.
Comes the proper time and
Master Roy Del Richardson,
who is a lovable 13-month-old
baby, will have a baby brother
or maybe a sister.
The Richardsons made a sum-
mer trip to Arkansas and Mrs.
Flowers has bee*n twice to Okla-
homa to visit her mother.
Papa Flowers is on vacation,
but he’s spending it around the
house.
2102 — Busiest woman in
town the past two weeks has
been the one who answered
this ring . . . Frances (Mrs.
Dick) Milstead, 712 South A.
What with all the other goings-
on, Frances has been the chief
operator of the bathing beauty
review which is to climax Ker-
mit’s Labor Day celebration.
“I love it,” Frances said,
“but it has almost driven me
crazy. First place, I wasn’t sure
what I was doing and there
was no one to help.” But, with
a tea today (Monday) afternoon
at 5 o’clock in Permian Sav-
ings and Loan Building, honor-
ing the revue judges, and the
final show tonight, Frances can
wave a good-bye to that ac-
tivity.
Summer has included taking
the two children, Bubba 7, and
Melinda 9, to Austin to visit
their doting grandparents, and
another week-end visit in Odes-
sa.
They go to San Angelo’s Lake
Nazworthy quite often. Howard
and Beth Westfall have a cabin
there and maybe a gang will
go . . . for skiing and having
fun. Frances loves to fish but
her lawyer husband isn’t inter-
ested in such.
Guests have included her sis-
ter and her family, Mr. and
Mrs. John McCurdy and Di-
ane, of Lubbock.
That’s not all about the Mil-
steads ... if nothing interrupts
the schedule, they’ll soon be
moving to their brand new,
spick and span home, on East
San Antonio.
3253 — Oh, dear. A man’s
Jeepy voice answered this ring
. . but he was very nice, de-
spite the fact that he works
norning tower and was getting
bis night’s sleeping done.
He’s C. L. Fields, whose chil-
lren are the grandchildren of
Doug and Jean Fields.
C. L.’s probably used to be-
ng aroused, though, since the
arrival a few weeks ago of their
third child and first-born son.
The husky baby has been
named Douglas Lee.
3176 — This is where John
and Billie Banks and the three
young ones abide . .• . 720 South
Avenue A, but there’s a new
home in the building, at the
corner of East San Antonio and
Avenue H. Come Christmas
time, and maybe they can
move in.
It’s been a rather quiet sum-
mer for Billie, but business is
rushing as school begins.
The three school children are
Dale, who begins her junior
year; Jeff, in the eighth grade,
and Betty, who’s learning third
grade wisdom.
Fourth school member of the
family is Billie . . . herself.
She’s resuming her pre-law
studies at Odessa College. Aft-
er she gets 90 hours credit, she
can then train with her County
Attorney Husband for three
years. After that, all she’ll have
to do will be to pass the State
Bar examinations and she can
be a full-fledged attorney .
not that she’s planning to real-
ly ever work as a lawyer.
The family made a trip to
Austin and to San Antonio, but
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Will
Hines of Rule, who usually
come visiting in the summer,
have been sort of under the
weather and did not visit as
usual.
4800 — This easy to remem-
ber number beongs to Mr. and
Mrs. Jim Richardson, 717 South
Avenue A.
Their summer has not been
so pleasant. His brother died
and Mr. Richards went to Cali-
fornia to attend funeral ser-
vices. While he was gone, Mrs.
Richardson was notified her
mother, who lives in Ada, Okla.,
had suffered a stroke and was
very ill. Mrs. Richardson went
to see her mother and, after
her husband returned home,
they made another trip there.
Reports are that the elderly
lady is improving and can move
around and talk a bit.

some of the plastic poodle toys they are making from regular tailor shop plastic
bags. Eleven of the full-length dress bags are used in making each toy. Colors are

edged with silver sequins. Blue buttons make the eyes and black buttons, tip the
nose. Mrs. Logan and Mrs. Walls started making the toys as a hobby but are finding
