NOVEMBER 19, 1974 in a By JUDY BAGGETT Staff Writer What’s the talk of the town small place like Navasota? Recently it has been a newspaper article in the Oct. 18 issue of “The Battalion. ” Dolly Ruth Armatys, then chamber of commerce secretary, was interviewed by Rodger Malli- son, a Journalism 403 student. Journalism 403 is an advanced writ ing course. Armatys is no longer secretary for the chamber. She told a Batt repor ter that she was fired because of the article. However, Armatys later re fused to say whether she quit or was fired. Bob Rule, manager of the Chamber of Commerce, said that Armatys quit because of the article but she was not pressured to do so in any way. She has a job with higher pay now, he said. Armatys looked strained and tired after her last day at work. She spoke bitterly of the article. The townspeople look down on me be cause I talked negatively of the town, she said. Armatys told of problems in Navasota such as too little recrea tion for the young people and racial splits. The article said the home football games and Miller Theatre, the only theatre in town, don’t keep the young people busy. The theatre is open Thursday, Friday and Satur day and plays the same movie all three nights. The article said beer guzzling was a popular sport. Other recreation in Navasota in cludes tennis (the courts are lit at night). Little League baseball, rodeos, swimming and church- sponsored activities. The First Baptist Church is very active in providing entertainment for youth of all denominations. Rule said. “I’m through with ‘The Battal ion’ and the Chamber of Com merce,” said William Miller, member of the Board of Directors of the Industrial Foundation, at a meeting with several of the town leaders. “That article made me mad.” The article stated that efforts were not being made to draw indus try to Navasota. The industrial foundation was formed to attract in dustry to Navasota. Jimmy Grice, manager of Pattout’s, a department store in Navasota, said that land is made av ailable at a fraction of normal cost and provisions are made for sewage, water and gas services. He said land can be sold cheaply because it was bought several years ago at a low price. Fifteen new industrial businesses have come to Navasota within the last four years. When asked to point out dis crepancies in the article, Grice said, “Maybe not too much was misrep resented, but there was not enough of the good in it. The main gripe of the town is that a one-sided picture was given. Several people pointed out that Navasota has a lot to he proud of. “It is rated second to none in the state school system,” said Grice. Navasota has “become a model for small towns, said Rule. Several other small towns such as Winnie and Conroe have written the town and asked for information on its growth. The part of the article about racial splits came up later in the meeting. “We have no problems, Miller said. “Why stir up something like that?” Grice agreed with Miller saying, “We haven’t had any racial prob lems.” The article was called "a prime example of negative reporting” in an editorial by Bob Whitten, editor of the Navasota Examiner. “I would like to see some concrete figures to prove that a majority of our young people are so bored with it all that their favorite sport is beer guzzl ing,” stated Whitten’s editorial. The beer guzzling part of the arti cle was termed “cowardly writing” by Rule. He said the town was seemingly complimented by saying that Navasota does have some re creation for the young people and then listing a few things to do. The compliment, however, just led to the dig about beer drinking. Navasota has a lot of pride. The citizens are proud of their accomp lishments. “We re not afraid of a true pic ture, said Don Davis, president of the Chamber of Commerce. They want their true picture, however, to include the better as pects of Navasota. Campaign money raises questions (Continued from page 1) Duval County political bosses George and Archer Parr. Briscoe said Manges delivered the $15,000 to Uvalde after the May 1972 Democratic primary. Most of the money was in $100 bills, the governor said. “I was not here at the time, Bris coe said in a telephone interview from Uvalde. The interview closely paralleled his deposition state ments. Briscoe said his ranch manager, Edwin King, accepted the money from Manges and gave him a re ceipt. Briscoe said he was campaign ing at the time and when he re turned to his ranch, King told him the money had been left. “I told Ed we could not accept it.

This went on for some time and he did not come by, Bris coe said. Later, there was some difficulty about picking up the money “and the money remained in its original packet — the one it was delivered in. “It now remains in the possession of Mr. Reynolds, the governor said. Briscoe said the last time he met with Manges “we agreed to turn it over to our attorneys and let them work out returning the money. It was at that time 1 turned it over to Mr. Reynolds.” The Governor said he last talked with Manges “approximately two months ago. E>ven after the money was turned over to Reynolds, Briscoe said he continued to attempt to return it to Manges. “I felt that I should not accept it, and I did not accept it. And he said he woud pick it up, so therefore it was not reported, Briscoe said in the deposition. Under questioning by Mrs. Farenthold s attorneys, while giv ing the deposition, Briscoe said he did not have a copy of the receipt that was reportedly given Manges for the money. Briscoe said the cash — still in the little brown wrappers that it comes from the bank in — remained in a vault at his office until it was given to his attorney about six weeks ago.
