June 19, 1925The City Park was the scene of a most

delightful evening Tuesday. The Hamlinh Band delivered their weekly concert from seven-thirty to eight-thirty and then Mr. S.M. Gloyd, of Oklahoma City, president of the Texas Cement Plaster Company delivered an address on his recent “round the world” trip. Mr. Gloyd is just back, and this is his second time “around” and also his second address before a Hamlin audience. Mr. Gloyd is one of those plain earnest kind of fellows who appreciate the opportunity of seeing the friends. He is a West Texas product having ridden the mesquite as a cowboy in the early days. He has appreciate the opportunity of seeing the world and then telling about it to his friends. He is a West Texas product having ridden the mesquite as a cowboy in the early days. He has prospered in everything he has attempted, whether it was in the cattle busi-ness or the manufacturing of cement plaster. He is president of one of the largest plaster cement producing companies in the whole nation. Everytime he comes to the big plant at Plasterco, he brings a message that does every employee good.

For several weeks there has been under construction at the South end of Central Avenue one of the most attractive and up-to-the-minute filling stations in this part of the

country. It is a combination affair. Two gas stands modernly operated, a good sized store room for accessories and for groceries and cold drinks, and still that’s not all. Up in the second story are rooms for the people to live in who operate the plant. Electric lights and city water complete the station proper. Near the traveler, who enjoys all that a modern station can furnish, lights, water, air, groceries and auto accessories.

This plant is owned by Dr. L. P. McCrary, but the operators and owners of the stock are B.E. Sparks & Sons. Grandpa Sparks and his son Leslie will be the “power behind the counter” and these boyes are turning on the current and yelling come-on , right now.

June 21, 1940Ivy R. Witt, incoming president of Ham-

lin Rotary Club, returned Sunday from Ha-vana, Cuba, where he attended the Rotary International Convention. He made a fine report to his club Wednesday.

Congressman Clyde L. Garrett makes an important statement:

All mails are bring me daily such sgtagt-ments as these: “Please support the Presi-dent’s proposal to rush aid to the Allies.

“Your constituents do not feel that Con-gress should adjourn during this interna-tional crisis.

“We believe that you should remain in Washington.

“Your friends will look after your interests here, you look after ours therer.

In view of the above, let me say to my constituents that we are making every effort to speedily assist the Allies, by furnishing them with supplies and materials.

Did you know Hamlin’s Oilers, the Gen-eral Crude “boys” are still the ranking tops baseball team among the Independents in West Texas. Last Sunday in Hamlin City Park, the only thing that slowed the Oilers down was a soggy field, but theydefeated the Abilene Aces, 3-2.

June 16, 1950Friday will find gala throngs in attendance

Early in the Spring a contract was let for erection of an addition to the original structure and remodeling to Hardeman & Pittman, local contractors.

The fireworks display after dark will follow the gospel singing which will be directed by Freddy Weaver.

medals in the Quad County Major League Championship Tournament. The tourna-ment was held June 16-18 at the Anson City Ballpark.

Hamlin Black Sox participated in the Quad County Baseball Association South Zone against the Hamlin Longhorns and three Anson teams. After competing in a very challenging South Zone the Black Sox where tied for 1st place with the Anson Boll Weevils. Each team only had one lost against each other. In a play off game the Boll Weevils narrowly defeated the Black Sox. Both teams won the right to represent the South Zone in the Championship Tour-nament.

Cashley Clawson continued from page 1

Foundation. She was scheduled to attend the state FFA convention July 8-10 in Dallas but that, thanks to COVID-19, has been changed to a virtual format with webinars on Growing Our Future going on that started June 30th through July 7th. She is currently an officer in the Hamlin FFA program.

The Foundation seeks to strengthen agricultural edu-cation and the FFA program. It should help each student to develop their potential for personal growth, career success, and leadership in a global marketplace. It's not just about showing animals but covers so much more!

To become an ambassador there is an application pro-cess to go through with the application then being eval-uated. In this application the applicant will describe how they are involved in FFA, what leadership skills they have, and how they are utilizing their skills not only in the program but in the community as well. Only 70 out of the 129,000 members enrolled in Texas FFA programs are selected. To be selected twice is quite an honor and just goes to show this young lady's char-acter, commitment, and smarts! These ambassadors serve as the face and voice of the FFA program. If she was able to attend the con-vention Cashley would be assigned to a VIP to serve as their respective host for the week. The ambassadors receive extensive training

for this week of service to prepare them for their du-ties. Those duties include taking care of the sponsor, or VIP, they are assigned to. They are taught how to introduce and present themselves and how to help their sponsor during the convention. They have a very unique opportunity to experience, firsthand, the behind the scenes activi-ties that go on in preparing for the complexities that occur in an event of this size. Their ambassadorship should serve to enhance the experience of the con-vention. The Texas FFA Foundation also offers an option for ambassadors af-ter graduation to continue to serve, if they so desire, as an instructor in the pro-gram. This option has to be applied for and only 4 applicants are selected.

Besides serving as an am-bassador this year, Cashley serves as the HCISD FFA Sentinel. She is an active member in the program showing goats,serving on judging teams, and the public relations team. She is also busy in her home church, Central Baptist. She is in their youth min-istry and also participates with the First Baptist and Church of Christ youth ministries as well. In school she has been involved in sports, cheerleading, and taking college classes while having a goal of be-ing on the school yearbook this coming school year. Congratulations Cashley! We are proud of you!

J e n n a Va n C l e a v e continued from page 1 2nd in the region after just 2 track meets. At the Long Sleeve Relays she threw a distance of 106-4. Last year at the Regional meet in San Angelo she threw a personal best of 115-6 so her chances of advancing to state were very very good. Jenna also runs cross country and has been a cheerleader for the past 3 years and will be cheering again on the sidelines for the 2020-2021 school year. In school she is a member of the National Honor Society and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and is currently ranked 2nd in her class. She wants to maintain that ranking or move up in order to qualify for either valedictorian or

salutatorian honors. You will also see her out in the community as she is a very active member of the First Baptist Church Youth Ministry and is on the mission group. This year they worked to raise money and send it to Pueto Rico.

With all that being said she is in the spotlight with the younger kids watching her and is a great mentor to them. According to Athletic Director and head football coach, Russell Lucas, Jenna “is always involved around town and stands out both academically, athletically, and in the community. She always puts her all in ev-erything she does. With her “bulldog mentality” she has a bright future ahead of her!” Congratulations Jenna! We are proud of you!

Billy Scott continued from page 1payers and the people of Jones County first and foremost, as well as to perform all of his duties in the most economically feasible and time efficient manner possible. He feels most importantly that he “enjoys driving around on smooth roads and feels like everyone else does too.”

Billy’s love for Jones County runs deep. Billy hopes you all will all come out and vote in the upcoming elections on July 14, 2020 from 7am to 7pm. Billy would also like to thank each and every one of you in advance for your vote and confidence in him. In Billy’s words, “I believe everyone in Jones County has a voice and it would be an honor to be that voice.” God Bless the Incredible Folks of Jones County. (Pol. Paid for by Billy Scott)
