Said The Commissioner Of
Alpine to the Mayor of Marfa:
Marfa-Alpine rivalry this week
extended to include a limited debate about the water supplies of
the respective cities.
The debate reached the public
when W. E. Lockhart, Alpine City
Commissioner, sent a letter to
Mayor Coffield, a copy of which
was also submitted to the Big
Bend Sentinel.
The letter, wagered that Alpine
pumped more water during June
than did Marfa.
The debate ended very suddenly
when Mayor Coffield replied immediately showing that Marfa, a
past year, given by Mr. Knight, —Huge bell near taber- smaller

Read 1 Timothy 6:IS
I have learned, in whatever
state I arti, to be content. (Philipplans 4:11, RSV.)
One of the rewards of a proper
adjustment to life is the attainl ment of patience. One man who
| claimed this spiritual heritage for
I himself was the Apostle Paul,
who is really the Job of the New
Testament. During his ministry
he suffered inner turmoil, frustration, fatigue, starvation, shipwreck, beatings, and Imprisonment. Insead of being broken in
spirit, Paul rose above adversity.
From a prison cell in Rome, he
found himself able to write, "I
hove learned .... to be content.
Actually, what is patience? Is it
not a word for complete trust in
the goodness of God's will for our
lives, whatever the circumstances
in which we find ourselves? Paul
said that the secret of his ability
to face life was finding strength
in Christ. Therein lies our success
or failure. Contentment and patience in life come through getting
ourselves in harmony with God's
purpose. We accomplish this only*
through the strength Christ gives
us because of our faith in Him,
PRAYER
Our Father, teach us to seek for
the possession of the things that
really matter—Thy love and
peace, the abundant life in Christ,
and the reward of Christian service. In the Saviour's name we
ask it. Amen.

far are YOU willing to go? A-Jittle way? Half way? Completely
around the world??? Have YOU ever heard His command, "Go ye into
all the world...?" Well, what are you doing about it? Have you answered
that call? This is the moment of decision. It is,a personal decision...
a positive act of the will. It must be performed in the lonely solitude
of your soul, in the presence of its Maker. Then, Choose YE this day.
Decide right now just how far YOU are ready to go for Him, Qilder said,
"As for me and my house, if Jesus Christ were a man and only a man, I say
that of all mankind I would cleave to Him, and to Him would I cleave alway.
But if Jesus Christ is God and the very God, I vow I will follow Him through
Heaven and Hell, the Earth, «nd Sea, and Air!" How far will you go???

Captain Bob Crawford, commanding officer of the Big Bend
Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol,
said the issue with the local group
was not so much the actual money
involved as the fact that they
could not be reimbursed because
the request for participation in
the search did not come from the
proper authorities.
Mr. Rutherford placed the facts
of the situation before the House
of Representatives at its meeting
July 16, and also wrote to General
Agee, Commander of the Civil Air
Patrol, asking that restitution be
made to the Big Bend CAP.
/
Captain Crawford and local patrolmen, meeting Monday evening,
said they hoped local contributions would eventually take up the
slack in their finances.
Some donations have been received, however more have come
from a distance than locally, Kenneth Mellard, member of the
squadron, said. Several contributions have been received from a
distance from people who read in
the papers of the search for Mrs.
White.
"People who have traveled in
this area and said they appreciated the hospitality extended to
them have sent us checks as a
means of saying 'thank you' for
courtesies received," Mr. Mellard
said. Another check came from a
seaeman who ships out of Houston, but had at one time lived in
this area.

The second will be held in Alpine Thursday, November 14, at

seasons concerts on March 7 at S
