You have to keep in mind that all
that’s advertised isn’t necesaarilv
purchased (if you don’t get' instant
results on your advertising). Look at
much publicized mini-skirt and the
topless bathing suit. Now there s
hardly a topless swim suit and not
many mini-skirts around these parts.
On the other hand, that which ISN’T
advertised sure ‘nuff ish’l going any-

•A proposal to form an or-
ganization which would
work toward having a
Neighborhood Center here,
using the now vacant Fred
Douglas School building,
has been announced by Hu-
bert Curry.
Curry explained that a
project to start a four coun-
ty Community Action A-
gency has been slow due to
non-allocation of funds, but
that setting up a Neighbor-
hood Center is a current pos-
sibility.
The Center would be for
the use of all races and all
age groups. Permission to
use the Fred Douglas School
for this purpose has been
granted by the local school
board, he said, provided the
project becomes a reality.
A meeting to form an o*.
ganization to work on the
project will be held at 7:30
p. m. Tuesday night in the
Pioneer Memorial building
and all interested persons
are urged to be present.
The Neighborhood Center
would be under the direction
of the peoplt involved and
would serve tor all types of

Crepe Myrtle
Should Be
Ordered Now
Time for ordering crepe
myrtle plants to set out a
round the square and along
U. S. Highway 82 is running
short, reports Mrs. Leslie
Mitchell, president of the
Garden Club.
A11 those with businesses
or residences around the
square or along U. S. High-
way 82 who wish to partici-
pate in the city beautifica-
tion program are asked to
order their crepe myrtle
plants through Buzz Jones at
Crosbyton Floral.
The plants are to be put
out about the first week in
April, weather permitting.
Instructions on how to set
out the crepe myrtle will be
given next week, since pro-
cedure for setting the plants
out in planters differs from
setting them out in the
ground.
The project to make Cros-
bytonthe “Crepe Myrtle Cen-
ter of the Plains” is being
worked on by all members
of the local Garden Club and
has been met with enthus-
iasm by local merchants and
residents.
Gene Mayfield, head
coach at Odessa Permian
High School, will be the
speaker for the All Sports
Banquet to be held at 7:30
p. m. Friday, April 14, in the
Pioneer Memorial Building.
Tickets to the banquet are
on sale now by Boosters
Club members at $2 a plate.
Officials stated that the
club needs to sell about 400
tickets in order to break
even, since about 110 tickets
will be given to athletes and
special guests.
A highlight of the evening-
will be awarding of some
80 Jackets, sweaters, letters
and other awards to Crosby-
ton High Athletes.
Charles Freeman, club
president, will serve as mas-
ter of ceremonies. Norton
Barrett Is In charge of pro-
gram arrangements. The
speaker will be Introduced
■ by Dr. Dale Rhoades.

uate of West Texas State U-
nlverslty .where he played
football under Frank Kim-
brough.
After serving as an assis-
tant for three years at WTSU

he became head coach at*

trict for 1954, 1956, 1958

offs include quarter-finalist,
semi-finalist, finalist, and
state champions.
Mayfield's teams have a-
veraged slightly over nine
wins per season for the

cord is the fact that he won
the district championship
