The final vote in the rural eastern Oklahoma town of 6,500 was 851 to 504 in favor of keeping a 20-year ban on public dancing. The tally on an ordinance forbid ding snakes within city limits was 886 for and 418 against. The 1,350 voter-turnout was much higher than in last week’s statewide primary election. The vote angered Tom Stringer, an attorney for a busi nessman who wants to open up a discotheque in Henryetta. "It’s an insult to the intelligence of everyone here. Stringer said. Tt appears there is more con cern about stopping your neighbor from dancing than who will run the government, he said. Tm amazed there are 850 people in this town willing to say I’ll walk all over you because of a moral issue. Stringer said his client, Gary Moores, will take the issue to court. The attorney said if Moores gives up, the attorney jHENRYETTn •.. 171 WANTED ■for -WANTED • 1 I dead or alive for Cold-bl«d<d: i l ' • Women helped with programs THE BATTALION THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1978 will not. Snakes came under fire in Feburary when firemen respond ing to a blaze above a fur shop encountered cages of live rattlers. It was the company’s practice to keep the snakes alive until time to skin them. The vote means Neville Edgar will most likley have to find another place to tan his rattles nake skins. His wife Wanda said she tried to convince people she and her husband weren’t in the business of handling live snakes. ’’We didn t win strictly be cause there s been too much publicity and because of the ig norance of the people, Mrs. Edgar said. Dallas Cowboys letting this fan attend games for only a song United Press International DALLAS — Tommy Loy figures he has played his trumpet before five million persons in the past 12 years, and if you count national TV audi ences, raise that total a couple hundred million more. Despite his exposure, he only draws $600 a year for his perform ances. But I get into all the games free,’ he added. The games he refers to are the Dallas football home games and in a city where Cowboy tickets are often hard to obtain, the deal seems more than worthwhile for a man who has played music all his life. Loy, as most Cowboys fans know, has played the national anthem be fore almost every Dallas Cowboys game since 1966. Loy, a diminutive and balding man, is an accomplished musician who has worked in many of the na tion’s major recording studios and plays in his own Dixieland band when he’s not on the football field with his trumpet. He plays the na tional anthem without fanfare or ac companiment. "Somehow, I think maybe that’s the way it was meant to be played,’ he says. “People can relate to it and get involved with it when there’s just a trumpet player out there. It’s a very simple approach, but there’s beauty in simplicity. ” Loy got his job because a Dallas radio station executive knew only one trumpet player — a man who had been stationed with him in 1951 at San Antonio’s Lackland Air Force Base. The radio station official Was called by a Cowboy aide one day be fore Thanksgiving in 1966 and was begged to somehow, somewhere, find him a trumpet player im mediately. The radio station executive knew of only one trumpet player, his Air Force friend, and tracked him less than 24 hours before the game. Loy and a high school band both auditioned and rehearsed the morn ing before the game. Lon- remem bers the tension well. “There were 81,()()() people there, said Loy, ’but I didn’t have time to get nervous. I just marched out to the 50-yard line and played it. Loy has been playing the trumpet solo ever since. Two programs, to aid displaced homemakers and to locate women in jobs traditionally clone by men, have been established by the Texas En gineering Extension Service at Texas A&M University. Structured to help women in Brazos County, the programs will operate in the special programs training division of the Extension Service, said director James R. Bradley. Patricia R. Turner directs the special programs division and is act ing head of the new programs. She is also director of the South Central Regional Training Center in San An tonio. Bradley noted that the new pro grams are related and complemen tary to 14 other training divisions in the Extension Service. Pamela S. Horne and Susan R. Yoselow have been added to the special programs staff to work with people in the new programs. "These programs are unique to the university, to the extension service and the communities, Mrs. Turner said. Through counseling, job training and placement and auxiliary serv ices, the displaced homemaker program—for women or men— assists an individual’s health and welfare and enables him to be inde pendent and enjoy economic secur ity, Mrs. Horne said. "This is self-help program, ” she emphasized. "We promote client in itiative and motivation to become employed. The displaced homemaker, as de fined by Texas law, is middle-aged or older, has worked previously without pay as a homemaker, is cur rently unemployed and has de- pended on a family member’s in come that is now lost. Also, the nontraditional job prep aration program headed by Miss Yoselow will assist women in over coming difficulties encountered in enrolling in and participating in the nontraditional job market. “Skilled nontraditional jobs offer better pay and upward mobility to the woman who suffers from a dead-end, low-paying career. Miss Yoselow said. Women can also be trained in the extension service’s other divisions, which enrolled 2,100 females last year. Each participant goes through four program areas: counseling, test ing, job development and job follow-up. Time in each will depend on individual need. In its second phase, the program will seek to locate and train women looking for non-traditional jobs. The nontraditional jobs program is expected to eventually serve other parts of Texas through exten sion service regional centers in San Antonio, Houston, Floydada, Wes laco and Arlington. Both new programs will have in tercommunication with already existing placement services on cam pus and with Texas Employment Commission. Program participants will be referred from a variety of other sources also, including attor neys, the Brazos Valley Develop ment Council, Texas Employment Commission and adult basic educa tion programs.
