Anderson Goodson Sellers Made Transferred to Odessa VVTU Manager At Rule The youngest man ever to come president of the Hamlin Rotary Club, is Forrest Greenway, who began his service Wednesday, July 2. His place as Secretary is now filled by Robert Campbell, another young member, and the latest one to be initiated as The program Wednesday was taken up in committee assignments, and that means nearly every one has two or more places to fill. It might be interesting to the public to know just who is who in the Hamlin Rotary Club.

There are 22 members as of July 2, nacely: BOB Campbell, TATE May, Forrest Greenway, TOM Teague, JIM Harrell, EDDIE Jay, FRANK Waggon- er, BOWEN Pope, IVY Witt, BOB Barrow, STANLEY Carmichael, JIM Moody, CLEM Ball. ARTHUR Albritton, CLYDE Smith, MAC Brundage, ELMER Rodgers, RAY Jones, PAUL Bryan, ELMER Feagan and IRA Clements. The plan of Rotary is that some person in every community, where there is a club, should be asked to represent his classification. Looking back at the above list, you see no two persons have the same work in the Hamlin community. Yet there are a number of businesses in the Hamlin community not represented.

This comes about, in some cases, because men who have been elected to the club have For several weeks, Mr. and Norman F. (Andy) Anderson, who epresent the Texas Company in Hamlin as Field Foreman, have been preparing to move to Odessa, where Mr. Anderson has a similar job with the company. In Odessa, Mr.

Anderson will have supervision over what is knowm as the North Cowden Dis- trist, which is now very active in drilling and production. Mr. Anderson began here with the Texas Co. when Hamlin's first w'ell on the Stephens ranch came in, and that was in 1928. They had a nieij home in Hamlin, the Arnett place, which this week becomes the property of Mr.

and Mrs. Ball, Agent for the Santa Fe. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson have built up a fine friendship in Hamlin, and everyone who knows them wish them all success in their new field.

They will have a new home in Odessa and comfortably situated. This week Hamlin is losing a finu young family to Rule. We refer to Goodson Sellers and family, who have made their home in Hamlin since 1938. Mr. Sellers has been Cashier-Bookkeeper for the Texas Utilities Company in Hamlin and is being promoted to a agership at Rule.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Sellers and their little 10 year old daughter, Bobbie Starr, will be missed. During the time this family has lived in I Hamlin, they have been active in Uunday School and church work and in civic and social circles in Hamlin. Blakeley Campbell will become Cashier-Bookkeeper in the Hamlin office, taking the place vacated by Mr.

Sellers. -----------o CORRECTION This Glorious 4th of July Finds Hamlin Very Quiet, Contented Mrs. F. I. Walker Died Last Friday Morning, June 27 One of the esteemed and highly honored pioneer women of Fisher County and Hamlin, Mrs.

Hamlin, Saturday afternoon, at 3:30 following the funeral in San Angelo at 8:30 that morning. Final rites were in charge of Minister Bruce Proctor of Hamlin. Herman was born in Hamlin, September, 1910. He had not lived here permanently for many years, but often came back to visit and sometimes to supply as a market man in the Safeway Store. At the time of his death he was the market man for the Nuway Store in San Angelo.

His death was the result of a prolonged and complicated case of appendicitis, and according to re- Dorts, his death came rather sudden- unbounded patriotism THIS DAY. Before another 4TH comes around this world of nations will no doubt be much different to what it is today as the sun over the eastern boundaries. It is hard for Americans to evaluate their Sunday heritage, their position on the globe, their responsibility and tohe necessity for them to go along closely knit into one great people for one noble purpose, and to do that such a morale can best be built up by giving sway to outbursts of that inner feeling within our 135 million breasts.
