Rifle Matches End
For Army Shooters

NEW YORK. <A>>—Jumping to
conclusions:
One of the nice things about
having a teen-ager in the home
is that you never have to bother
about wiping cobwebs or dust
off the telephone.
Nothing looks happier than a
small fat girl who has finally
mastered the difficult art of
keeping a hula hoop in motion
around her chubby body.
It is time to leave a cocktail
party when the guests begin to
cluster and talk in authoritative
tones about what should be done
in Vietnam and which Republican
should be nominated for president
in 1968.
Bluebirds have become so scarce
lately that they should put a few
in zoo aviaries so children won’t
grow up without having seen one
of the loveliest of nature’s feath
ered creatures.
Extension Names
New Instructor
Arnold L. Mott, a 13-year vet
eran in electric line construction
and maintenance, has been named
an instructor in the Electric Line
men’s Training Division of Texas
A&M’s Engineering Extension
Service.
Mott, superintendent of super
visory linemen personnel of Tri-
County Electric Cooperative at
Azle for the past seven years,
will teach the newly developed
six-month electric linemen’s train
ing school for TEES.
Edward W. Kerlick, chief in
structor of the Electric Line
men’s Training Division, an
nounced Mott’s appointment.
A native of Riesel, Mott was
graduated from high school there
and attended the University of
Texas at Arlington State College.
He also completed metering and
electricity short courses at Texas
A&M, and currently is completing
advanced electrical engineering
courses with a correspondence
school.
His experience includes six
years as a lineman for Limestone
County Electric Cooperative at
Mart.
Mott alsa has taught electricity
courses as a member of the U. S.
Navy Reserve. He is married and
has three children.
After 60, a fellow always feels
like crying inside when someone
sends him one of those “funny”
birthday cards. He regards him
self as a living landmark and
expects respect from others, not
cleverness, on his anniversaries.
It makes me sad to see a man
who not only wears a toupee but
also has an artificial flower
pinned in his lapel. You have to
give him credit for hope, but
you can’t escape the conviction
he’s a bit out of touch with
reality.
On the other hand, whenever
you see a man walking majestic
ally in front of his wife as she
pushes a shopping cart through
the supermarket, you get a con
viction that the American male
still has a future.
People who habitually watch
television more than three hours
every day eventually get the same
fixed expression on their faces
as those riding to or from work
on the subway.
There is no point in the wife of
a professional football fan get
ting a divorce between now and
the middle of next January as
her husband wouldn’t even notice
it had happened.
A woman’s sense of financial
security depends on the number
of expensive hats she can’t af
ford to buy but does; a man’s
depends on how many pairs of
shoes he has in his closet.
There is great worry today
about the manner in which man
is poisoning the very atmosphere
he breathes. Between bad air and
hot air we’re all in peril.
It would be a real irony of time
if future archeologists should
judge the art level reached by
our civilization by the beauty of
Christmas liquor bottles they dig
up from the debris we leave in
passing.
You are probably a success in
the business world if you spend
more time dictating memos than
in answering them.
If a neighbor tells you he just
noticed your wife has one blue
eye and one brown eye, it’s time
to build a fence or move to a new
neighborhood.
A tactful clothing salesman who
wants to sell a customer a suit
in another size never tells him
that he has gained, weight. He
says, “Well, you’ve just normally
got big shoulders there—bigger
than most.”
WASHINGTON. <A>) — The
Army announced Wednesday it
will not hold the 1968 national
rifle matches at Camp Perry,
Ohio, citing economy reasons. But
the cosponsor, the National Rifle
Association, said it will hold them
elsewhere.
The Army estimated that its
withdrawal from the matches will
save about $1,1 million. In answer
to inquiries, an Army spokesman
said the matches “do not make
a substantial contribution to the
current national defense effort.
The great majority of the com
petitors are civilians and the
military participation can be bet
ter utilized elsewhere under cur
rent conditions.”
There have been demands in
Congress that the Army stop
sponsoring the matches. But this
is not the first time the service
has passed them up.
They were skipped in World
War I, World War II, the Korean
conflict, in the depression days
of 1932 to 1934, because of econo
my efforts in 1948, and were held
on a reduced scale right after
the Korean fighting.
The national matches have been
held annually in August under
joint sponsorship of the Army and
the National Rifle Association.
Individuals and teams from vari
ous parts of the country partici
pate.
The NRA said the association
will continue to conduct its na
tional matches annually. The ex
act site for 1968 is undetermined.
Secretary of the Army Stanley
R. Resor said the Army cancel
lation is part of a Pentagon effort
“to reduce expenditures and limit
spending to only the most es
sential programs.”
The $1.1 million is the amount
allocated in the current budget
for Army provision of ammunition
and some logistical support for
the matches.
Owners of Tennessee Walking
Horses claim that no other breed
is so consistently gentle, patient,
intelligent, noble and easy to ride.
