A letter from A. L. Look of Dolores, Colorado, informs us that his son Alfred has resigned his position as advertising man of the Groden Mercantile Company of Durango, and has accepted the position of leading man for the Navajo Film Company. Al Look left for Farmington where he will begin to train for the strenuous life of the films. The only advice we have to give him is to beware the Ides of March. Look not upon the vamp in her allure and drink Animas river water when available.

Skinner has many fond memories of those visit including fishing, the cows, the milking barn and watching Mr. Reed run his farm.

SPOTLIGHTING THE YEAR...1964

What Was Going On 14 Years Ago

The Keith Clevenger Address at the Opera House was heard by a mere handful of people, owing partly to the very short period of advertising, but mainly to the fact that there was sickness in nearly every Stockton home and the night was cold. It was a talk that would have electrified any crowd we might have furnished, notwithstanding the speaker made it brief and hit only the high places in his regular speech. Mr. Clevenger was for 20 years in Kansas newspaper work, during which he was one of its most widely quoted writers. He is secretary of the state Chamber of Commerce, and publicity man of the United Telephone Company. He has made a hobby of civic improvement and is remarkably well versed in all that makes for the welfare of communities, possesses the talent of presenting his thought with force and elegance of diction. It is a delight to sit under his spell. He says he will come again whenever we want him, and we trust it will not be long before he returns.
