2 THE WILBY CONSPIRACY
by Peter Driscoll
This is suspense fiction at its
very best and in the tradition
of John Lecarre, Alistair
MacLean and Ian Fleming, this
author has written an
adventure thriller that is
compulsive reading from the
first page to the last. The place
is South Africa, the man is Jim
Keogh, an English mining
engineer. Keogh is running for
his life — for a reason he never
■even suspects until the true
• purpose of THE WILBY
CONSPIRACY is finally
revealed.
THE GOLD DOOR by Ardath
Wise
Since it was quite plain
from the telephone interview
with the housekeeper of Trent
Firemen
Present
Program
Fire Chief Richard Goertz
and Jim Webb, members of
Kermit Volunteer Fire
Department, presented the
program when members of
Kermit Business & Professional
Women’s Club met Tuesday
night in Mesquite Room of
Kermit State Bank.
Mrs. Elmer Paehl, chairman
of the health and safety
committee, presented the
speakers. Educational and
beneficial films were shown on
fire prevention, dealing
primarily with how fires start
within homes. Chief Goertz
stressed the importance of each
family having a set plan on
what to do in case of fire. Plans
should be made which window
or door to use if possible for
escape and to have a definite
place named to meet outside
the house to prevent family
members becoming separated.
They also mentioned dangers
of cigarette smoking in bed or
on a couch and the overloading
of electrical outlets.
Mrs. Paehl read the Collect
and reports were given by Mrs.
Buddy Notgrass and Mrs. Jerry
Bell.
Each club member was
named to handle a certain duty
in preparation and serving the
annual Smorgasbord Supper, to
:be served April 28.
•' Hostesses were Mrs. A. L.
Dixon and Mrs. Nancy Dean.
Next meeting, April 3, will
be a business session and
election of officers. Hostesses .
will be Mrs. W. L. Barnes and
Mrs. Percy Nottingham.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Dress up your flowerpots by
wrapping them with aluminum
foil. This gives them a gay,
decorative look and prevents
water from dripping through to
furniture on which they rest.
* * *
Save the snaps from
discarded garments by
snapping them together over a
sheet of ordinary writing paper
as soon as they are cut from
the garment. Place them in
your sewing machine drawer or
sewing basket and they’ll be
handy when you need them.
* * *
Nylon fishline is better than
thread when sewing metal
buttons on a coat or jacket.
The nylon line will not be
easily cut by the button.
* * *
Homemade rugs crocheted
of nylon rug yarn are bright
and long-lasting. Do not wash
in water that is too hot.
* * *
Before sewing in a zipper,
use cellophane tape instead of
pins to attach the zipper to the
material.

Manor that Ann had been hired
because she was supposedly
over 30, prim and staid, she
skillfully masked her glamour
and became what she was
obviously supposed to be to
hold the job for which she had
been hired. She felt somewhat
guilty about her secret, but
soon forgot that, as she had to
cope with a boy who
sleep-walked. This is a
suspenseful blend of eerie
mystery and romance.
BURNT OFFERINGS by
Robert Marasco
This is a tale of mounting
horror, of menace and
malevolence, of seduction and
possession. A novel of the
supernatural, it rivals THE
TURN OF THE SCREW in the
artistry of its construction of
evil.
A FALCON FOR A QUEEN
by Catherine Gaskin
This is a Gothic novel set in
the Scottish Highlands. With
her customary skill, Miss
Gaskin launches her heroine on
a tale of love and hatred, the
secrets of which reach from the
past to the turn-of-the-century
present and ensnare the
remnants of a proud old family
in a web of danger.

Roy Peden, Winkler County
agricultural agent, has released
the following report from
Charles W. Neeb, area
extension entomologist, on a
recommended post-bloom
spray program for home grown
peaches and plums:
Growing of insect and
disease-free peaches and plums
in the home yard or garden is
difficult. Controlling insect and
disease pests requires proper
timing of sprays and a
thorough application of
effective materials. Insects and
diseases must be prevented
from gaining access into the
fruit of these trees. Once they
are in fruit, nothing can be
done.
Large fruit trees are difficult
to spray effectively with the
spray equipment that most
home orchardists possess.
These trees should be opened
up by pruning so that the spray
will reach all of the fruit and
foliage. Trees that are properly
pruned can usually be sprayed
effectively with a garden
hose-end sprayer.
For control of insects and
diseases that infest peaches and
plums after .field bloom and
petal fall, the following
program is recommended.
Ten days after petal fall,
spray fruit trees with a
combination spray consisting
of diazinon (Spectracide) or
carbaryl (Sevin) and captan or
wettable sulfur. Repeat the
application three more times at
two-week intervals.
Peach and plum trees should
be sprayed, with a combination
spray of carbaryl or diazinon
and captan, around the first of.
June and again at mid-June for
peach twig borer and brown
rot control. This spraying is
important to prevent peach
twig borer damage to the fruit.
A pre-harvest spray (3 to 7
days before harvest) is
important to prevent insect
damage to fruit. The spray is
also very important to prevent
rot during and following
harvest. The pre-harvest spray
should consist of carbaryl and
captan or wettable sulfur.
Following of this
post-bloom spray program will
greatly reduce chances for a
“wormy” peach or plum at
harvest time. Before applying
sprays, read directions on the
chemical containers as to
dosage rates, cautions, etc.
Chuck Roast With A French Flair
Symposium To Be Presented

sine. _Our Provincial French Chuck Roast is an example of
classic French Cooking. Here is an inexpensive cut of beef
transformed into something very special. The meat is braised
slowly in a wine sauce and is garnished with carrots and po-
tatoes. Served with a green vegetable or a ctisp green salad,

The Permian Basin Graduate
Center proudly presents its
second annual symposium on
Global Tectonics April 26-28.
Advance registration is being
accepted at this time at the
Permian Basin Graduate Center
office at 104 Gulf Building.
The new global tectonic
concepts have revolutionized
the petroleum industry.
Indeed, those well versed in
these principles have been
extremely difficult to assemble
for this meeting because their
consulting services are in such
demand. The essence of all
deformation, be it a mountain
range, a petroliferous basin or
an oil producing structure, is
related to sea-floor spreading
and the movement of the
continental and oceanic plates.
What many do not realize
yet is that a very specific set of
rules have been established for
the behavior of the plates. This
is an inter-disciplinary
endeavor and geologists,
geophysicists, oceanographers,
geochemists, geochronologists,
paleontologists all have made
their contribution. It has been
a case of three steps forward
and two steps back, but our
understanding is increasing at
an ever-increasing pace.
This symposium is designed
to correct misconceptions that
the Permian Basin is immune
from the affects of plate
tectonics. The formation of the
basin and the structures within
it are intimately related to the
movement of the plates. A
better understanding of the
forces which created the oil
producing structures should
lead to better prediction as to
their specific locations.
The participants in the
symposium will be Dr. John
Dewey of the State University
of New York at Albany; Dr.
John Bird of Cornell
University; Dr. John Crowell of
the University of California at
Santa Barbara; Dr. Clark
Burchfiel of Rice University;
Dr. Ralph Kehle of The
University of Texas at Austin;
and Dr. Jack G. Elam of the
Permian Basin Graduate
Center.

POLICE HUNT
BARN THIEVES
Law enforcement officers in

barn was gone. She said
someone apparently tore it
down and took the lumber.
