Dancing and snakes
Citizens ban ‘vices'
United Press International
HENRYETTA, Okla. — Public
dancing is about as popular as
poisonous snakes among the
townspeople of Henryetta, who
voted to ban both in a referen
dum election Tuesday.
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

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.
Inquiries should be directed to
the Special Programs Division at
Henderson Hall on the Texas A&M
campus
