Guerrant in this case, must turn
in a lot of work also.
The teaching program designed
by Crites and Ater to win the ·

that the big pile of tr<~m collected by the Pirates team was
just a little bit bigger than that
of the Mixed team. Both teams
got Baggie Bag-A-Thon caps.
The victorious Pirates also got
nice big Frisbees, courtesy of
Struve Department Store.
The kids who did such a great
job of cleaning up downtown
were Jacob Trevino, Anthony
Johnson, Mitchell Johnson, Ricky
Marquez, Chris Marquez, Jeremy
Oswalt, Aaron Presley, Amanda
Gonzales, Nicholas Gonzales, KT
Lampert, Franky Tovar, Christopher 'Dominguez, Michael
Coughlin, Mark Perez, Eddy
Johnson, Micah Mendoza, Ken
Johnson, Laeresha Watts and Lynette Lindsey.
Women helping with the work
were Bag-A-Thon chairman Lori
Oswalt, WDCC vice president
June Odom, former WDCC presi·
dent Lisa Presley, Jacquelyn
Smyers, Linda Gonzales and
Lupe Marques.
The kids discovered that the
most commoll Utter item is
dgarettci
butu--which
they
weren't encouraged to pick up.
They also passed up broken
glass. The litter problem would
be half solved if smokers would
use trash cans instead of throwing their butts on the ground all
around the post office, City Hall
and stores.
"One thin~ about it--this was
good exerCISC!" commented a
hot, tired little trash gatherer.
Excited by their winning
effort, the Pirates rushed to the
big ballpark south of town and
collected 6ve more 30 gallon
bags of trash. Evidently, trash
is a big problem at the ballparks.
"The Tee-baUer parenu and
kids keep their ball park (by the
school) dean, but the 8-11 age
group ball players and their
parents seem to feel they're loo
big to pick up their trash,• said
a baD player parent. The Teeball players are expected to pick
up trash after games and get
free soft drlnb afterwards.
"Maybe we need to paint our
trash cans with the words
'Don't Mess With Our Ball
Park'," suggested one of the
cleanup kids.
The Bag-A-Tbon kids did their
part to clean u~ the town for
the big celebration and vowed
they're not going to throw any
trash on the ground at the 4th
of July festivities. They hope
you won't either and mess up all
their work.

Bob Adams and Clyoma .Grant met when they both lived in
Goodland. When they decided to get married, Bob was living in
Melrose, New MQico. On the day of the wedding, July 4th,
1939, Bob started the long drive (well over 100 miles) to Goodland but blew out two tire& and had to go haclt to Melrose for
more. By the time be did aD that, it was too late to make the
trip, much less get married.
Thank goodness, they had not planned a church wedding! They
just delayed the ceremony at the justice of the peace's office
and tried again next day.
When asked if they planned to renew their marriage vows at
their anniversary reception, Clyoma said, "Nope, they've lasted

60 Years Of Weekly Review Issues
Safe On Microfilm At Last
Newsprint is so terribly
perishable, but thanks to Arno
Struve, Abernathy's history for
most of the past 60 years is
preserved on microfilm. A copy
of all the microftlm is stored in
the Southwest Collection at the
Texas Tech University Library,
Struve has another copy, and
The Abernathy Weekly Review's
copy will soon be stored in
somebody's vault here io town.
Irreplaceable newspapers were
lost in a lire at the newspaper
office many years ago. A leaky
roof ruined many more issues in
later years. Making the c:ollec·
tion a~ complete as possible and
getting the material preserved
has been a year and a half
project for Struve and Review
publisher Jacquelyn Smyers.
She had· 1..6uise Hudson, a
librarian, organize and catalogue
all available papers and started
a campaign to collect missing
issue&··Which was not complete·
ly successful. Struve arranged
for the microfilming.
Abernathy schools have the
only two microfilm viewers in
town but faculty member Char·
lolle Carter said people can
arrange to use the one in the
Academic Center during the
school year. Should you want to
do some research in Weekly
Review issues, contact the
newspaper.
Ms. Carter said the school has
bound copies of the Antelope
Outlook, the school newspaper
from 1967 to 1985, in the Acu·
dcmic Center. The public can
also usc them.
Another resource is a video·
tape of a 1940 f<>othall game
between Abernathy and Peters·
burg. Team members were Mar·
vin Floyd, Foy McMaster, Amos
Miller, Jack Cox, Carol Cox,
Buford Conn, Buddy Lutrick,
Henry Hope, Joe Lovelace, Joe

Sheepdog Trial
Set For Fourth
The papcn were published
"semi-monthly".
\
the
Members of the West Texas Sheep Dog Aasoci·
arion will host a working sheepdog trial July 4th
at the Abernathy Riding arena.
The f11st recorded sheepdog trial was held in
1873 in Wales.
Since that early begioDing,
sheepdog trials have spread throughout Great
Britain and into the United States, Canada and
Australia.
Sheepdog trials are open to all breeds of dogs
but are pre-dominated by one--the Border Collie.
These dogs have been bred over a hundred and
ftfty years for one single characteristic.-working
ability. They are used primarily for working
sheep and cattle, but are also used for
handling other kinds of livestock ranging ftom
poultry to reindeer.
This trial will consist of two classes, the
Ranch class and the Open Ranch class. The Open
Ranch class will run rust, and i.s the 111ore
advanced of the two classes. The Ranch class,
for less experienced dogs, will follow.
The Trial will begin at 8 A.M. Tuesday and
admission is free. West Texas Sheep Dog Association is sponsoring this event.

Tree Planted At North Park
In Honor Of Davenports
A two trunk red oak tree was
planted at the nortb end triangle part this week in honor
of Buford and Dorothy Davenport. The Davenports were long
time owners of The Abernathy
Weekly Review. Jacquelyn Smyers, most reamt owner of the
newspaper, had the tree planted.
The "Buford & Dorothy Tree'
is the latest of a series of
volunteer efforts to improve the
park. Linda Riddles, who has a
young son, is bead of the volunteers.
"People arc using the park,"
she said Tuesday. 'It looks a lot
better. There was a birthday
party there last week and a big
family picnic. People arc using
it so much that we need a
dumpster to hold the trash."
The park bas been served by
two unawcred trash barrels.
Linda has scheduled a park
work day for Saturday, July Z2
at9AM.
"We ask anyone who enjoys
the park to come help us pull
wecda," she said. "If we have
enough help, we can start
preparing a trench for the
border or (sawed off telephone)
poles along the driveway."
Other people might like to
plant trees at the park in honor
of someone they admire. Contact
Linda at 298-2216 or Jacquelyn
Smyers at 762-3922 for information about the process.

McCunes Celebrate Anniversary
With Special Hawaiian Vacation
A very special fortieth anniversary present for Harold and
Ann McCune of Abernathy was a
trip to the i.slanda of Hawaii.
Glennon and Alice Se:ke, Billy
Wayne Selke (brother of Olennon) of Clairemont, CA, Curtis
and Christina Lebow of San Angelo, accompanied Ann and
Harold on thia dream trip.
Hawaii was no disappointment
to Ann, but she was surprised at
the number of mountains. Even
more surprising were the trees
::::.~~~ ~w;:go:~:tw~~~
WELCOME EXES!
FROM
"ju~t gorgeous", Honolulu was
"wall·to-wall people", the Gar·
den Island of Kauai, known for
its rich greenery (Ann's favorite
island) ·was the most beautiful
island", were some of Ann's
comments about their two week
slay.
They found the people to be
very friendly, "very laid back",
as well as superstitious. Their
tour g~i4cs .c.xr.lai!'ed .\O .. th~m
that the trees and vegetation
are not n:itiVe to · flawilii but
have been brought in by different groups of people from
different countries.
The high elcv .. tion of one
mountain in Hawaii allows for
the accumulation of snow whkh
people have been known to
bring down to lower elevations
and build snowmen. The ski
buffs can ski on the mountain
but have no ski lifts.
Hawaii put on quite a show
for the group while they were
there. An earthquake on the
main island and a live volcano
spewing lava were two of the
main attractious. They visited
four islands during their stay
and wished for more time to see
even more.
"We just didn't have enough
time!" exclaimed Ann.
Laura Waits, 1985 AHS graduate, is in Alaska cleaning up
the big oil spill.
"She's washing rocks,' said
her mother Lclloine. Lclloioe's
brother, who is a lawyer in
Alaska, notified Laura about
available jobs in the cleanup
effort. She i.s the adventurous
type and jumped at the chance.
She'll be there at least all
summer.
She is working at Prince
William Sound and lives with
others of the crew on a houseboat. They arc flown in and out
from the mainland.
Laura's usual job is training
horses ncar Denton. Her parents
arc LeUoine and David Waits.

All present and past AHS Antelope Band
members are urged to rehearse at the band hall

Band director Harold Bufe said he bas no idea
how many reRUiars to count on during this

who will play.
Ball Players Needed
To Carry Giant Flag
Uttle League ball players in uniform are
needed to carry a giant American nag in the 4th
of July parade. Methodist pa.~tor Steve CampbeU
will supervise tbe operation. Ruth Naron made
the 15 foot by 25 foot flag for the t:licentennicl
Celebration in 1976.
Ball players (in uniform) who want to help
carry the flag 5hould meet at the parade formup area around Joe Thompson Implement about
10 AM . They should look for Don Stone and
gather around for instructions.
Class of '73 Cancels Party
The July 1st party for the Class of 1973 has
been canceled. The group, instead, will meet with
all the classes of the 1970's at the Gold Auditorium on Monday, July 3 at 7:00PM.
Mock Accident, Deaths
To Show DWI Tragedy
Abernathy's Emergency Medical Service (EMS),
Volunteer F'tre Department and law officers will
stage a mock accident involving a drunk driver
at 1:30 PM on July 4tb. The dramatic enactment
will be presented at the schoolllng pole area.
The "accident' will already have happened
when tbe action starts. Police officers, the EMS
crew and f11emcn will respond as they do in real
situations. The "accident' will be so bad that the
frre depar\lllent's Jaws of Life equipmeot'"i\ill · be
needed. Don't be surprised if the Flight for . Life
helicopter ambulance •shows up to help. In fact,
don't &e surprised at anything that happens.
The purpose of the dramatic portrayal i.s to
show what terrible things happen to innocent
victims of drunk drivers. This IS the first time
such an event has been presented in this area.
Remember, the 'accident' and resulting "injuries· will not be real, but it won't be fun and
games either. People will see what really happens
al real accidents.
Bring A Chair!
Parade To Take Awhile!
The 4th of July Parade will start promptly at
10:30, according to Chamber of Commerce president Ruben Garcia, and it's going to be long and
colorful.
Three riding clubs, one of which is a skilled
drill team, wiD participate. The 1950s Car Club
from Lubbock is coming, along with several
antique cars. The U.S. Army Reserves is sending
two trucks which reportedly will carry something
special for kids alon' the route.
Garcia expects eight to 10 floats, "depending
on bow ~ go for everybody'. Among them
wiU he the Lions Club, Frontier H~rids, Barrick
Associat.es and the Abernathy Ridmg Club. The
Women's Division Chamber of Commerce float
will carry Miss Palm of the Plains and oth~r
girls of all ages who entered the scholarsh1p
pageant. The Classes of the '50s plan to step
back (rather, 'ride back") in time on their float.
They even bad a dress rehearsal last Monday.
Parade Marshal (and police chief) Ray Naron
and his wife Ruth will lead the parade on horse·
back. Afterwards, everyone will pthc.r in front
of City Hall for the flag raising ceremony,
awarding of parade trophies and drawings for
twowcat ort-."" ..

Lizzie was nine years old.
The bolel had 19 rooms. There
was a foyer, a huge dining room

Closing observations:
AberDathy is a bit 100 fond of
tbe past biJt seems to bold up
remarkably well.
Abernathy's biggest problem is
not the decline of the farm
eeonomy but lack of imagination.
Abernathy's best assets · are
the sehools, jobs close by in
Lubb9ck, aDd that it's a good
plaee for childreD to grow. We
chose this place to grow ours
and they turned oul great.

"Old Red", First Regulation Fire Truck, Still Around
Ed Crow was cleaning out a
closet some time back and ran
across a oopy or the outfittiug
proposal for Abernathy's fust
lire truck. It brought back lots
of memories for lhe man wbo
was fire chief for nearly 30
years.
In the beginning--in Abernathy anyway--people mostly
concentrated their efforts on
keeping a fare from spreading.
When the AndersoD Brothers
Flour Mill burned, the bucket
brigade was so inadequate lhat
Mayor Fritz Scruve decided the
town needed a fire truck.
Soon after, a group of meD
galhered in Struve Hal~ a two
story corri8iited iron building
acrOSS" thl',· !!ley behind Struve
Hardware and Reid Chevrolet
Tbe second Roar was a Masonic
Hall on the south side and a
general meeting hall oD the
north side.
The men at the meeting were
D.Z. Ward, Alfred Hughes, HA
Iverson, Erect Givens, Frank
Tannebil~ LaMar McKenzie, Ed
Anderson, H.H. Blalock, John
Bower, Frank· Roberts, Arno
Struve, Edwin Crow, Olio Curry,
Rudolph Struve, John Duty,
Clifford Johnson and ADdy Reid.
The volunteer fire department
officially organized in May of
1939 with Anderson, Givens,
TaooeiUII, Roberts, both Struvea,
Jaclder, Ward, Hughes, ·Crow,
Curry, McKenzie, J.E. (Dick)
Hughes, H. (Harlow) A. lversoD,
Bob Reid, and H.E. Richter as
charter members.
A man came from Fire F'tgbl·
ing EquipmeDI Compaoy ill
Dallas to help them work things
out. He said if we furnished a
chassis, they would iostaU the
fare fighting equipment. Jack
Hackler was fire c!Uef at the
time; Rudolph Struve was the
first seaetary.
Reid Chevrolet doDaled a used
· 1936 Ford truck with DO bed.
Hackler drove it to Dallas and
they installed the equipment.
It was cooftgured to pump 80
gaUons a minute with 200 feet

of red line (3/4" hard rubber
bose). AberDalhy had to buy the
staJJdard 2 1/2" line. They bad
only fire hydrant pressure and it
amounted lo about 60 pounds.
That truck was used until
World War U was over. That's
when Ed came back from the
war, got on his soapbox and
preached about the need for
modem ftre ftgbting equipment.
WheD there was a lire, the
volunleers had to hook the old
lruck onto a picltup and drag it
to the lire. It met no insurance
requirements and everyoDe in
town bad to pay premillliiS based
on no fire department at aU.
Because Ed was doing the
"preachiDg", they made IUm
firec!Uef for 30 years.
They IAA!ght "Old Red"; a .500
gallons a minute pumper, from
Mae Johnston's father, who was
a representative for Bordman
Company of Oklahoma. 'Old
Red' served weU and is still in
the lire haU, alongside much
Dewer trucks.
The city gave lbe volunteers
aJJ allowance of $2 to ~et their
clothes cleaned every hme they
had to use the big hose on a
ftre. That's when they got the
muddiest. Few men ever drew
tbe money though, and the
unclaimed allowance grew to a
sizeJible amount ill the bank,
and has bought lots of equipment for the department since
then.
