This is an annual affair in most towns across the nation, and is one that in most cases doesnt come often enough. How much effort will be put forth in cleaning up our town remains to be seen. Driving around town the last few weeks many places were spotted that really need a good cleaning. Old buildings, some of which arent used, and others that are Hats off f ? - ? !?! ?

Theres would My dear San Juaners: They told me Mrs. Cobb would be there, Invincible Aunt Lizzy, as they called her; she was going to come down from Pineville, and she would speak if she could get the floor. Some of the committee didnt want her, and told her so, but she was coming. Some people said she was just an old mischief-make- r, but others insisted that she got things done, and that was what they wanted most; that compensated for all her crude methods. They told me I would know her as soon as she came in the hall; she was different. I did know her; a woman well past middle age, somewhat stooped with hard work, but not apologizing to anybody. She walked right up near to the front, and took a fearless survey of the people assembled before she sat down. She had a prominent nose, a square chin, and steely eyes which just kept right on devouring rather disconcerting you, in persistence. Mrs. Gear was the speaker of the occasion. Imposing in appearance, clad like a thousand dollars, and with education and culture of which she was noticeably vain. I guessed she was one who had objected to Aunt Lizzy, and from the lengths to which she carried on with her oratory and her ready display of learning, I fancied she intended to fillibuster the old hayseed from Pineville out of time to views. express her Grandma Cobb listened quietly, her grey eyes riveted on the a concentration speaker with which caused Mrs. Gear to look at anybody and every body else, but she had Aunt Lizzy fearfully and in mind. Grandma vindictively knew that the bylaws called for opportunity of questions and rebuttal, and she was holding her fire till she could see the white of their eyes. She got the floor promptly as soon as the Gear woman ran out back-woo- of ammunition.

Where are they coming from? Whos responsible? It aint the kids. Im a tellin yu, this generation of kid3 is jest as good naturally as any kids that was ever born.

Dont blame these kids that are turned out green and ignorant to grow up as savages blame the mothers prosecute the mothers for what the kids do. She was training her fire straight at Mrs. Gear, who was looking daggers, though not able to meet the steely and unremitting stare of Aunt Lizzy. I object! the Gear woman blurted, I object to your coarse language and your ignorance. I consider . You dont like the way I speak, Aunt Lizzy cut in, Well I dont like the way you act. What have you done for this here community? What kind of kids have you turned loose on em ? What kind of boys have you gave em? Where are your boys? Are they out of jail? The haughty beauty cringed as if she had been shot; she stuttered and choked in trying to make an answer, and then she burst into wild sobs and buried her face in her hands, for it was whispered to who didnt already everybody know it, that one of Mrs. Gears sons was in jail. Now I want to tell you, Aunt that Lizzy went on undisturbed, them two Gear boys are jest as good naturally as any boys ever bom in this town. Theyre smart, an talented; theyd been big men in this community if their mother had been as interested in them as she was with her dress, her parties, her highflown style. As the big shot in your society, her ambition is first of all to impress people with her learning. And I want to say fer the rest of your hoodlums in this here town; I know what they are, I know who they are; I know where they are. I know who their mothers are. It aint because this generation is inferior, its because theyve been cheated out of their birthright.

Every time we pass the Johnson homestead we find Clarence out in his garden working. This is true of all our planters namely, Jack Hale, Jack Brown, Eugene Foushee, Andy and Katy Musselman, and the six or seven dozen more who are busy planting trees and putting in gardens.

Its many laws, ordinances, rules and to regulations are exasperating some individuals but, in nearly every case they were formulated for the benefit of the public. Take a project like building a house or remodeling your garage for instance. Nearly every community requires a building permit today with some restrictions which were not required years ago. Likewise the State Engineer approval of dams and water rights, are required today whereas several years ago this was not the case.

Much of the story in detail is in the Companys Annual Report for 1960, just out. The growth part of the story for El Paso, in a sentence: In 1960, El Paso furnished customers in 11 Western states more than 1 trillion cubic feet of gas an all-tirecord and over four times as much as was delivered just a decade ago. The growth story in the 11 states is a climb in population to a total of 35,718,636 (1960 census), up 33.9 per cent in the past 10 years and still rocketing. As for expansion Demand for El Pasos services and products by longtime customers keeps increasing as families and communities and businesses grow. Then add the millions of new people, more new businesses and all their needs. Add, too, the realization by everyone of the economy and conveniences of gas as a source of dependable energy for a multitude of uses. And El Paso is expanding to meet this need. To supply its customers -i- ncluding such growth areas as California it has developed the most diversified gas supply of any company in the nation. Today, El Pasos pipelines are connected with the principal producing areas of the West and Southwest, in addition to vast reserves in Canada.
