John Hough County Clerk SEAL 41 NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE NO. 252 OF THE VILLAGE OF DEMING, NEW MEXICO Aqui Estamos By Evilvo (Mrs. Noah) Scott Another week and another column to write so I will tell you about that trip to the Culberson ranch the babies and I were going to take. It was fun, though it took us quite a space to get there. To begin with we joined the Army as we left Deming and you know how the Army does things.

Slow like. In case you wonder how come we joined the Army or possibly doubt that we did I'll explain. They were already on the road when we startedmiles upon miles of them jeeps and trucks, trucks and jeeps an endless procession. They were spaced far enough apart that you could pass the one in front of you but it wasn't much use. Up ahead there was another one and another, and another, and so on, ad infinitum.

All going the same way we were. And as I said slow like. All the way to the overpass to turn off for Hachita. Phillip and Jamie got a bang out of so much passing. When I just tagged along behind a truck for a spell, they got impatient.

"Speed, mother, speed! Pass him," they urged, bouncing up and down in the excitement of their eagerness. And I shuddered a little to think how little they knew what could result from a trifle too much speed. It was good to turn off and have the road to ourselves at last, and soon we were in Hachita and visiting. Which is usually the reason why any trip Legal Notice NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Deming. New Mexico, will at the next regular council meeting to be held at the City Hall on Monday, November 3.

1:09 NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT OF EXECUTRIX ANCILLARY ADMINISTRATION Notice is hereby given that the undersigned Charlotte M. Lindberg was on the 20th day of October, A. D. 1958, duly appointed Executrix for Ancillary Administration of the said estate. All persons having claims against the said estate are required to present the same duly verified within six months from the date of the first publication of this notice, the time allowed by law for the presentation of if such claims, and not so presented and filed, the claim will be barred by virtue of the statute in such case made and provided.

All persons indebted to the said estate are requested to settle with the undersigned Charlotte Lindberg William Zimmerman, Esq. Attorney at Law Suite 722 Shukert Building 1115 Grand Avenue Kansas City 6. Missouri I Smaller Deming New Mexico Attorney for Executrix 41 takes me a long time. Oh, I can go to Deming without stopping on the way, but that's about the only place. To Hachita and Animas there are just too many people I know along the way.

And never see any other time. We had dinner with a dear friend, and were starting to leave when who should chance to walk by but Mrs. Garland Livingstone, SO we talked to her for a minute before getting under way again. How swiftly the days of our lives do go by. I realized, with a sense of that it has been twenty years since we lived in Hachita for a year or so, and my husband was working out at Livingstone's remodeling their house.

I can see such a sweet picture of him having come in from out there one evening and sitting in the door, holding his baby in his arms, just visiting with us. That baby is grown up, now. In years at least. His name is Elbert. And why I should remember that one ordinary evening and forget so many others I do not know.

Anyway! Out of Hachita and on our way once more. Past the school houses in- cluding the very commonplace looking one that was the only one there when I was a freshman in high school, and drove in from Granite Gap each morning. Past the black little cemetery where our second son sleeps and has for so long. On out toward the Big Hatchet mountain past Twelve Mile mill down a road I once could have followed in the darkest night and I don't know but what I still could! Past the old Barney Parker homestead where EuniceGene was born. Past the Peterson place where Cley Oley and Maggie lived when I was a lonely teen ager cross the way at the -miles from any other young people except my younger brothers and sisters.

I think I was lonelier there than I ever was any other place in my life. I hated it with all of a teenager's intensity. The other places have lived I am sentimental about. But not the Worthington. The road stretches out ahead -it is a long way yet.

I concentrate on getting there as fast as I reasonably can considering the condition of that road the worst I have ever seen it. Past the Cienega where the Bill Killians live think about driving out over there but decide against it. It's too late in the day. Past the road to the old Jim Robertson ranch past the road to the Humble Oil wildcat -past the U-ranch road--past High Lonesome the grass is thick and high for here. I have never seen it more beautiful.

The road veers from the south to the west up into the hills, swings back toward the north and there is the Culberson -rimmed in by hills and mountains remote from the world. A glad reunion with our Daddy. And unknowlinglywake Ressie up from her nap. She is Mrs. George Upshaw.

Such a nice person to visit she makes you so gladly welcome. George, too. So good to be here. Much talk and laughter, Soon it is night and one of the cowboys comes in the kitchen. Noah introduces him as Roy Foreman.

Then I get a shock. Roy points to my youngest son, and says with certainty, "And this is Phillip." It is but how did he Seems they met up outside and Phillip made himself known with a "Helio mans! My name iS Phillip Scott." The chap driving the huge Cadillac couldn't shake the little foreign car behind. Finally, as the Cad. reached 90 miles per hour, the small car pulled up along side and the driver yelled, "Say, do you know anything about this make of car? I can't get it out of low gear. W.
