Rick Wilson, 20, is charged with first-degree murder, first- degree robbery and first-degree theft in the death of Raymond Smith, 60. Smith was found dead in his home with 31 stab wounds and a fractured skull on Nov. 9, 1981. Wilson, being held in the Woodbury County Jail in lieu of more than $240,000 bond, was to have been arraigned Tuesday. Following the opening assem bly, those attending the Round up will assemble on Kyle Field in the shape of a four-leaf clover— the symbol of 4-H — to com- emorate the 75th anniversary of the 4-H program in Texas. Because of the anniversary, segments of the program will be filmed for “Good Morning America” and “PM Magazine.” 4-H is a youth education program of the Texas Agricul tural Extension Service, which is an agency under the Texas A&M University System. The program began in Texas in 1908 with the formation of the Jack County Boys Corn Club. Then in 1912, the Girls Tomato Clubs were started in Milam County. Around 1924 the two organizations merged. With approximately five mil lion members in the United States — 180 thousand in Texas — 4-H is the largest organiza tion of its kind in the world. :-v-V-/•;*->% ' A' j' ,/ . >,/•; - -l ' >»- " x ' N Jt* - V* *' •;* -t* ■' *A l;fyN „ r..^- • tv.*-*-.. . »■> - * •..■tv 7 fir' Follow the leader staff photo by Peter H Fra No, it’s not another registration line.
