City of Howardwick seeking law enforcement
The City of Howardwick has found itself with no law en-
forcement. And city councilmen are looling into possi-
bilities to cure the problem.
Bill White, who has served as city marshal for the past
year, resigned to accept another position. The duties were
given to deputy marshall Carroll Rippetoe.
Rippetoe, who has other irons in the fire, the biggest
chore being his full-time Job with Sherwood Shores, re-
signed his position also, saying that he doesn't have time
to do the Job.
This has left the city of Howardwick, which surrounds
the north side of Greenbelt Lake, with no law enforcement.
The city asked the county to provide a deputy for Howard-
wick, since the county provides a deputy to patrol Hedley,
which is smaller in population than Howardwick. The
county will consider this request at its next meeting in
August. Mayor M. L. VanArsdel said he has talked to
Precinct l Commissioner Gene White about the situation.
If the county does not agree to put a deputy at the resort
rea, the city ,ould have to find another law enforcement
officer. And the Texas Municipal League says that a
marshall must be elected, not appointed.
Sheriff Frank Lindsay has agreed to patrol the area at
Howardwick until permanent arrangements can be made.

DOCTORS TOM CHATTON and Gordon Jtran visit with
Claude residents Saturday during a reception in the doc-
tor's honor. The two doctors opened their practice in
Claude Monday morning. (Press Photo by LeeAnn Palmer)
Doctors arrive
The Claude Medical Center was the setting for the wel-
coming reception in honor of Drs. Gordon Juan and Tom
Chatton last Saturday afternoon. From 1 to 4 p.m. the two
former Milwaukee County General Hospital interns met
with approximately 300 of their new friends and neigh-
bors.
The doctors, beth 26, came to the Armstrong County
seat through a government project called the National
Health Service Corp which is overseen by the department
of Health, Education and Welfare.
The basic aim of the N.H.S.C. is to provide young gen-
eral practitioners for communities throughout the country
that do not have quaIified physicians serving them. Al-
though the project begins with government financing, it is
the proposed intent that the town itself, after a period of
time, will begin to supplement the various municipal med-
ical needs. Hopefully, after the doctors have served their
required 2 years, the community can undertake complete
financial control.
Both of the doctors hail from large cities, Chatton com-
ing from San Jose, Calif. and Juan from Washington D.C.
When questioned as to why they chose Claude for their
semi-private practice both doctors replied that they
"like the small town rural atmosphere. It's people, and
the setting will provide both intellectual and vocational
challenges unlike those found in more populace'places."
"Out of necessity we'll be working closely with the Am-
arillo hospitals and will probably send our seriously ill
patients to one of the three medical facilities there,"
stated Chatton.
"We've been very pleased and honored with today's
turnout and sincerely hope our service to the town of
Claude will be met with great satisfaction," said Juan.
Six Claude residents will be employed at the medical
center. Helping the physicians open the office for patients
last Monday morning were Orla Hughes, business director
and receptionist; Jewel Chauveaux, registered nurse; Sha-
ron Cope, x-ray technician; Maciel Knierim, custodian;
C. E. Welch, ground keeper and Donna Detten, reception-
ist and summer help.
FEEDLOT
(Cont'd. from Page 1)
Many, many new and modern facilities have been added to
the feedlot, along with the most modern equipment.
Charles Payne, president of the feedlot organization,
founded the facility by digging post holes with his own hands.
The feedlot grew from a 2-man operation to an operation
which employes 20 persons and handles as high as 20,000
head of cattle.
The operation is one of the highlights of Donley County's
economy.
Complete details of the big grand opening will be given in
next week's Clarendon Press.

13 Chamber of Commerce members met at noon for a busi-
ness session and lunch.
