The Coryell County Sheriff's Posse furnished mounts and riders, the Gatesville High School Stingettes performed as can-can girls, and local men and women appeared in pioneer dress to give the judges an authentic idea of what The Grove would be as a movie set. They looked as if they were all ready to perform as extras in a western production. Sam Powell, working through the Gatesville Chamber of Commerce, was the "daddy" of the show put on for the obviously delighted visitors. They were Warren Skaaren, executive director of the Texas Film Commission; Mrs. Charles Bybee and Houston Daniel, Texas history buffs; and Frank Tolbert, Dallas Morning News columnist.

THE JUDGES visited several rural areas in Bell County before coming to Coryell County and The Grove. "The area is perfectly suited." Skaaren commented. "There are so many kinds of terrain. The old towns have not. been developed or changed like some of the more urbanized areas-and that's good.

There's no reason to change Texas into something it isn't. There's already plenty here to be proud of as it is." The new commission which Skaaren heads has been in op- toleration about four months. Its 41 members were named by Gov. Preston Smith to develop a new industry for Texas. "We hope to tell the rest of the world what we have here in Texas," Skaaren said.

IN HIS Tolbert's Texas column in the Dallas News, Tolbert called The Grove a "Wendish town" and said that "the Wends, who founded The Grove (the town was named for its motts big live oak trees) in the 1870's are deeply religious Lutherans of German-Slavic descent. For instance, you're not permitted to laugh during a Wendish church service or even 'to laugh as in sport outside the window or door of a Yet the Wends and the non-Wends around The Grove have their lighter side." itors.

In the past years it has been unlawful to hunt game birds or animals such as deer, turkey and quail from a motorpowered vehicle. This year the law has been changed so a person may hunt a game bird or animal from a motor vehicle except from a public right-ofway or road. This does not include the hunting of mourning dove, white wing dove or any type of waterfowls.

White wing dove, mourning dove and waterfowl of all species are controlled by the Migratory Bird Act. This act is a treaty among Canada, the United States and Mexico and states are not allowed to supersede or change, its laws. This means this year, if a hunter so desires and has mission from the landowner, he may drive over the rancher's property and shoot quail, turkey or deer from the vehicle.
