West Texas Art Show set for Snyder next February
The West Texas Art Show, sponsored by the West Texas Chamber of Commerce, will be held in Snyder on February 18. Rules and instructions are available from the WTCC office in Abilene, with copies requested from Panhandle, El Paso area, and Southwest Texas. County Attorney George Killam theorizes global fragmentation drives economic risk in banana economies and suggests regional amalgamation or postwar trend reversal. Southwest Conference football shows gradual strength, with two wins, three losses, and three ties, some against top 20 opponents. High School District I-AAA teams lack nonconference games, but observers see overall district strength rising.
