Mink Stole To Hamburger
Available In Senior Auction
Saturday Event Begins At 6:00
"We certainly have a variety," Gennie George says as the Senior Citizens
Foundation of Swisher County (SCFSC) makes final preparations for its third
auction. The event begins "promptly at 6 o’clock" in the Senior Citizens Center,
located in the southeast comer of Swisher Memorial Building. 4
Eston Breitling will be auctioneer.
The SCFSC board says "several thousand dollars worth" of goods, services,
antiques, arts, crafts and unique articles have been donated by Senior Citizens and
friends.
Over 100 articles are listed. The public is encouraged to be present to submit
bids on their favorites.
Prospective bidders are invited to inspect auction articles any time from 10
a.m. until 6 p.m. Saturday. Arts, crafts and a bake sale also are to be held during these
hours.
Musical entertainment will be presented from 5 until 5:45 p.m.
MAJOR ITEMS LISTED
One of the latest arrivals is a "real mink stole," donated by Eunice Hill. Mrs.
George says it is "the prettiest thing you ever saw."
Among other features are a set of Bavarian China (set of eight, plus extra
pieces), China cabinet, over 60-year-old cotton crocheted bedspread, afghans,
antique quilts, arts, crafts, decorated sweat and T-shirts, one complete woman's
slack set, two decorated jackets, denim skirts, various crocheted items, lap robe,
pillows, handmade quilt rack and "a lot of antique glassware", including a set of 11
antique cut glass glasses.
Several businesses have donated items. These include: First State Bank in
Tulia, First National Bank in Tulia, First State Bank in Happy and Kress National
Bank have donated bonds which will have a $50 value at their maturity date; Ed
Harris Lumber, $50 gift certificate; Swisher Electric, pair of Bauchncll binoculars;

'93 season; Corsicana fruit cake (cakes to be sold through the holiday season by
Senior Citizens); and other articles.
Young & Ellis and Mid-Plains Telephone each has made a $50 donation to the
foundation.
INSURANCE FOR FUTURE
Leaders point out that all proceeds from the auction go into the Senior Citizens
Foundation of Swisher County. The purpose of this foundation is to help ensure that
funding will be available in future years for Senior Citizen centers in various
communities.
At present, Senior Citizen groups operate in Tulia, Happy, Kress and Vigo
Park.
With government dollars dwindling for operation of such centers, the Swisher
group forsees the possibility that only areas which are now planning for the future
will have centers.
Swisher County had the initial Senior Citizens foundation. Some other
counties have since followed suit

OLD-TIME CROCHETED BEDSPREAD—Vera Wallace has contributed
a crocheted bedspread, which Is over 60 years old, to the Senior
Citizens Foundation of Swisher County for the organization's auction
this Saturday evening, Nov. 14. Mrs. Wallace, who has no children or
grandchildren to pass the bedspread along to, said she wanted it to go
to someone who would appreciate It. Soon after her marriage, she had
time for crocheting and made this beauty from cotton twine. She
explained that in those days "everything was wrapped In brown paper
and tied with cotton string." Someone secured two cones of the cotton
twine for her and this is what she produced. —Staff Photo

SPECIAL FRIEND GONE
Many of us lost a special friend Friday
with the death of Gladys Ballenger.
I can remember when Mrs. Ballenger
went through box after box of photos
and information to help out with our
centannial issue a couple of years ago.
She would always go the extra mile in
helping research any needed informa-
tion.
Mrs. Ballenger would always call to
offer congratulations when this newspa-
per received newspaper awards or after
a Picnic issue was distributed. She had a
special sense of caring that is a rarity.
I, for one, will tremendously miss this
lady.
CONGRATULATIONS,
THOMPSONS
Congratulations to Joe Bob and Sha-
ron Thompson on the 10th anniversary of
Joe Bob's IGA.

PROPHECY TRUE
Prior to the general election, rumors
floated that if Bill Clinton were elected
president, the banks would close and the
army would take to the streets within
eight days. The prophecy came true.
Eight days after the Aikansas governor
was elected as leader of the land, banks
did close and the armies took to the
streets.. .for Veteran's Day. The military
marched in Vet's Day parades across the
country and banks were closed in obser-
vance of the holiday.

City Drops Out Of
Bidding On Armory
Continued from Page One
if it were the successful bidder. How-
ever, bids from the municipality and
Swisher County Seniors Citizens were
close — the city offered the higher bid
— and the state armory board rejected
both.
Texas National Guard Armory Board
has reopened the bidding process. Sealed
bids will be accepted until 2 p.m Dec. 2.
The Senior Citizens intend to submit
another bid.
During the meeting last Tuesday n ight,
the council formally hired Bryan Easum
as city manager. This action had earlier
been determined in executive session, but
his formality was necessary to place the
matter in the minutes. Easum's moving
expense will be paid by the city.
James Fisher gave a report on the
American Disability AcL Although no
motion was received, the council's con-
sensus was that "we need to start on
things that are obvious" such as handicap
accessible restrooms. More definite rec-
ommendations are expected to be sub-
mitted to the council by staff members in
the near future.
THE FALL TREND
RED, j. Winston knows that RED is in for
Fall '92. RED. RED. RED. The color is
vibrance. The color is energy. The color is
excitement. The color is you. Visit j. Winston
and see RED. All our RED pieces, that
is. Experience the j. Winston difference.
See for yourself why we are the women s
fashion store of Amarillo.
