At the Little Southwestern Live stock Show and Ham Auction Satur day, that’s exactly what happened to cattle, hogs, sheep and horses as stu dents from the Saddle and Sirloin Club competed against each other showing the animals. The livestock show is patterned after the major livestock shows, said Robert Kuck, co-chairman of the show. The one difference between this show and the others is that the students are judged, not the animals. Participants are judged for their showmanship and how well the ani mal is groomed rather than for the quality of their animals, Kuck said. Awards went to a champion and reserve champion in each of the cat egories. The eight winners then showed each type of animal and an overall champion and reserve cham pion were chosen. The overall champion was Alan Harrison from Muleshoe, and the reserve champion was Charles Krackau from New Braunfels. In the swine division, Krackau was champion, and Susan Kuck from Gonzales was named reserve cham pion. In the sheep division, Mike Phillips from Williston, Fla., was named champion, and reserve champion was Joe Shelby from San Angelo. In the horse division, Wionana Anhaiser from Sugarland was cho sen as champion, and Joe Harris from Buckholts was chosen as re serve champion.

The animals used for the show are owned by Texas A&M, Kuck said. Some of the animals are donated to the University for breeding and some for research. For the show, the animals are matched to the contes tants in a random drawing. The students then have one to three weeks to work with an animal, Kuck said. For instance, the han dlers take three weeks to work with the cattle, while hogs only lake a week, he said. Then the big moment comes when the contestants take their ani mals into the show’ ring. Kuck said composure is everything when try ing to handle an unruly animal. The judge also takes that into consider ation if the animal appears to be dif ficult, he said. “The key thing to remember is to maintain eye contact with the judge and hope your animal does not move out of its square (position),” Kuck said.

Just down the street, more tele- E hone employees sawed on the fresh oards of Rita Bean’s new porch, while she reclined in a bedroom and spoke of her devotion to God. Those were two of 18 houses that drew the attention Saturday of 270 Southwestern Bell workers, who do nated their day off to help those less fortunate: the elderly living on scant incomes and the handicapped who cannot help themselves. The volunteers call their program “Christmas in April.” In addition to the telephone em ployees, members of three churches and workers for an area newspaper also participated. Richard Wyatt, Jefferson Coun ty’s “Christmas in April” chairman, said about 16 more groups, rep- A widow and retired housekeeper, Mrs. Levias is a typ ical Christmas in April recipient.

Wyatt said area merchants do nated all materials for the program. Carey Mason, a member of the Southwestern Bell planning depart ment and organizer of the phone company employees, said he origi nally expected only enough workers to repair three homes. “It was surprisingly easy to get volunteers,” Mason said of the turn out that included nearly half of the employees of Southwestern Bell in the county. “I just talked to a few key individ uals, and they just started spreading the word. I always say there are two things people like to do. They like to help children and they like to help people who can’t help themselves.” Last week, program volunteers visited Levias, telling her of their Saturday repair plans in time for her 77th birthday Thursday. “I’m so happy, I don’t know what to tell you,” Mrs. Levias said in a mufflea voice, while outside grind ing drills prepared her front door for a new screen. “This has got to be one of the happiest (birthdays) I’ve had.” v A widow and retired house keeper, Mrs. Levias is a typical Christmas in April recipient.
