Clarendon mourns
Johnson's death
BY LEE ANN PALMER
Last Monday',Our President" passed away. This was the
terminology felt by most of the people in Clarendon when
asked about their emotions concerning the passing of form-
er President Lyndon Johnson,
"His administration did more for the farming and ranch-
ing businesses than the present one -- to date. The man
was strong and very decisive and wl'at's more, he stuck by
what he believed in." These were Wayne Riggs' personal
comments about the complications of Mr. Johnson's terms
in office.
In response to our questions Dean Beryl Clinton replied.
"I was very pleased during his administration, I admired
and respected the man greatly. We've lost a fine influence In
our government."
Mrs. Frank Phelan had these reactions, "He (Johnson) did
a remarkable job. You can't remake what's been handed to
you in Just five years. I really can't understand why they
didn't perform an arterial transplant after the other heart
attack, unless, of course, he wouldn't permit it."
Harold Phelps reflected, "We have suffered a great loss.
The man did so much for our country."
"I think he did quite a bit for the average American citi-
zen. We've lost a fine man. His foreign policies were com-
parable to those of the lateF.D.R." were Mrs. Mary CookePs
instantaneous responses.
Jerry Lohoefer remembered the former President and
his "devout concern for the common American. He had
the people at heart. He was the one who introduced Medi-
care for the elderly."
David Croslin said he couldn't help but feel the pity of
loosing two former chief executives in such a short time.
"Two outstanding leaders are gone and it's a shame."
"George Christian, my brother-in-law, was President
Johnson's Press Secretary for the last three years. So as
you would imagine, we followed his term closely," stated
Mrs. Tommie Saye. "George felt that under the circum-
stances, Mr. Johnson as doing what he or anyone could
do and so do wet"
Mrs. Viola Graham told us she was "very saddened.
He was a fellow Texan. He was responsible for my school-
lng. You know he directed the N.Y.A. in Texas which en-
abled me to attend college." (The National Youth Admin-
istration constructed during Franklin Roosevelt's Presi-
dency). The program financially aided college-bound stu-
dents during the years 1936 and 37."
Bill Greene laughingly admitted, "The thing I remember
most about President Johnson is when he became Presi-
dent. Our entire line of Open Road Stetsons became L.B.J.
hats and sold extremely well"I
In retrospect we have indeed lost a great man. A man who
fought for the freedoms of this country and it's people. I
have heard it said that "great men are rewarded many
times." For former President Lyndon Baines Johnson his
honors will become two-fold. His deeds and thoughts will
be preserved in annals of the finest country in the world

Eldon Lyles, manager at Pay-

700 bales have been ginned in
Clarendon since the weather
cleared up, bringing the total
ginned here to near 2,500bales.
Some 300 bales were in the yard,
ready to gin, Tuesday afternoon.
Lyles said that the harvest is
about G0% complete inthe coun-

are not getting the yields they
anticipated, but he attributed
this factor to high estimates,
not the weather.
In the meantime, cotton trail-

farmers began to see glimpses
of the end of their harvest.
