Richmond Wilson made a
week-long business trip to
Los Angeles recently. Rich-
mond called home by"
telephone to say that he was
going "deep sea fishing."
Back home, Richmond
sheepishly admitted that
most of the time on the boat
was in the harbor with the
fishermen working on the
boat engines. "But it WAS
funl The whole trip was
fun[" Richmond reports.
The Bunch brothers and

Joe Greiner, a senior at C.
E. Donart High School, has
been awarded a month at
Nairobi, Africa. Joe departed
by plane from Tulsa last
week.
Joe works at one of the
local supermarkets, but was
allowed the time from work
for the time he would be
away. Joe also prepared
advance assignments in his
school work which includes
two courses in math, so that
catching up would not be too
strenuous when he returns.
Joe will visit his sister
Sally and family (Mr. and
Mrs. Tom Roach) who are
stationed at Nairobi with the
CARE program.
Joe is the youngest son of
Billie Greiner (Mrs. K. D.
Greiner) and the late Mr.
Greiner.

Shop In Perkins First
Why? Because it helps you[ For every
dollar that you spend in Perkins, four or
five dollars worth of business is created in
Perkins because that dollar is spent again
in Perkins for other goods and services
and the chain reaction goes on and on.
Every time that dollar changes hands,
additional money is generated to increase
stock in local stores, so you will have
more selection, to help provide more
services, better streets, better fire and
police protection, better hospitals, etc.
through increased sales tax collections,
and to provide more jobs so you or your
children can be employed in Perkins.
If you spend your money in some other
community, you are helping to build that
community's economic base. You're
helping that community have better
schools, better streets, better police and
fire protection, better shopping selections
and the list could go on and on. At the
same time, your one dollar spent out of
Perkins has reduced business in Perkins
by at least four dollars and probably
much more[
