Tuesday morning this teacher made a telephone call which like to tell everyone about One of my grandsons had left his coat at his home The aunt sent the coat to school by her little son grandson No 2 After time when it was apparent that the owner of said coat was absent the teacher became concerned She called my home to ask about the child She was worried He was with me at my home because he was ill Could a teacher be more alert more concerned or more thoughtful? I think not My thanks to a wonderful teacher Mrs Cheek fourth grade teacher at Crockett School MRS WYATT 765 Elm Butt's Remarks Bring Criticism Dear Editor I write with reference to the1 recent news coverage about the Texas Baptist decision in San Antonio to refuse to allow Baptist colleges in Texas to secure federal loans The major speaker for the opposition was Mr Howard Butt Jr well-known Corpus Christi to be mournful when at rwirts? ffs fast tjSahSSteS mature enough to dirun tt the deep emotion we feel There was the time she kept the children away from the snake in our yard until her constant barking brought us running Then mere was the time a neighbor dog ran away with our little stuffed teddy bear and Nicki stopped the dog and took the other end of the toy in her mouth and growled until the dog released the toy and she brought it back and laid it at my tearful feet Nicki was to at my grandparents ranch in Wayland beneath a big oak tree and believe me each spade of dirt lifted meant a tug on the heart strings of our entire family Each bit of earth was mixed with tears of genuine love and the first shovel of dirt for a covering was very very heavy It is so hard to find comforting words for an eight-year-oM girl and a five-year-old boy But we can tell them this: there is a dog heaven you can be sure Nicki is No dog could have loved a family as Nicki loved us without getting some reward for her loyalty and devotion If the driver of the car had only come to our door and told us about the accident perhaps with immediate attention Nicki might have lived At least maybe our daughter could have been spared the heartbreak of finding her even if Nicki have survived her injuries I am sure that it would be impossible to notify the owners of every pet that is struck by a mature enough to discuss with his parents MRS CARL WOMBLE 4341 Mary Lou Lane Insurance Deal 'Misrepresented' Dear Editor: The Abilene Assn of Life Underwriters and Better Business Bureau of Arkansas Inc (Little Rock Ark) are to be highly complimented for rendering a most worthy service to the uninformed public through publishing its recent ad Representatives of the insurance companies selling those special profit-sharing policies pay to attend a brain-washinging school in some luxurious motel The trainees have to learn the sales talk verbatim (word for word) Any departure from the memorized talk would either be an outright lie or rcverl that the policy (thought to be too good to be true and it is too good to be true and therefore is not) is reducing term policy that will not pay as much 20 years from the day the policy is bought as it was cm that day The brainwashed huckster says: anything were to happen to you today you would get $40000 plus all you paid He does not tell you that you have to die that DAY to get all you pay into it back In fact he does not know this much about the policy When he learns the truth about the policy if he is an honest man he quits He cannot stomach the misrepresentation that goes with a THE ABILENE REPORTER-NEWS Putollihed twic ditiy except wee Saturday and Sunday by the REPORTS It PUBLISHING CO 2nd I Cypma 0 Bex Pti 471-4271 AbUene Tcxai 72604 Andrew Shelton President and PuMIdier McCarty Vice Prrildent General Manager Ed Wbhcamper Vice President of Editorial Frank Pruitt Vico President Circulation Second class postage paid at Abilene Texas SUBSCRIPTION RATES: BY CAR RIER-DELIVERY IN WEST TEXAS Morning and Sunday or Evening and Sunday $225 per month Morning and Evening and Sunday SSfS per month BY MAIL In Texas Morning and Sunday or Evening end Sunday one month S2ll 3 months SI SI OTHER STATES: Morning and Evening and Sunday 1325 per month Sunday i per mo ASSOCIATED OP TNI PRESS The Associated Prase Is entitled ax ot all local new printed In Rile new paper as well as the AP news dla-duslvety lo the use tor republlcatlen patches i Briar np-front fashions that lead the crowd TREND COORDINATE SWEATERS ENRO CONTOUR SHIRTS Liven it up show your spirit in zesty coordinated Trend Cardigan Sweater and Short Sleeve Knit Shirt Easy to care for comfortable to wear link stitch acrylic Fashionable choice for you to make the scene casual like Oriented to today's new fashion traced trim and young calculated to follow body lines with the grace of a fencer's shirt The secret lies in the sculptured back panels symmetrically designed to eliminate excess bulk assures you of perfect contour fit Deep opulent colors Permanent press Cardigan 00 15 Knit Shirt DOWNTOWN RIVER OAKS RIVER OAKS OPEN TIL 9 THURSDAYS Pork Free Any Downtown Parking Lot 4 i.
