LON COLVIN
LON COLVIN
By Alice Gilroy Like many veterans, Lon Colvin, is reluctant to tell of his part in World War II. However history books have recorded the heroic acts of Colvin's group in depth. As part of A Company, 10th Armored Infantry Battalion, 4th Armored Division, 3rd Army, Colvin served in the European Theater of Operations, and was part of the failed POW rescue mission of "Task Force Baum". Born and raised in Lockney, Colvin was an 18 year old senior in High School when called to war. Colvin joined the Army on October 10, 1944, and was unable to complete his senior year or earn his diploma. He was sent to England and France within 4 months of enlisting. Colvin enlisted with Uel L. Arthur, of Ralls, who became his closest friend. The two were never apart during the war and were shipped back home together in 1946. Colvin became part of General Patton's 3rd Army. "Patton was a good general--but he was tough," said Colvin. "He told us once that if we get killed there is plenty in the U.S. to take your place." Colvin believes Patton was right about many things that were controversial during the war Referring to Patton's desire to advance in to Russia, Colvin said, "If we had listened to him then we wouldn't be in the mess we're in today." Colvin saw continuous combat as Patton's armor and mechanized infantry fought across Belgium pushing the resisting Germans back toward their homeland. In the final stages of the war Colvin participated in "Task Force Baum", also known as "Patton's secret mission". The mission, which was personally approved by Patton, was a daring operation in which an American task force of the 4th Armored Division attempted to advance 50 miles into enemy territory to liberate the prisoner-of-war camp OfLag XII in Hammelburg. The task force was named after it's commander, Cpt. Abraham Baum. The prison camp was known for housing many American officers, including Patton's son-in-law Lt. Col. John Knight Waters. According to Military Magazine.com among the prisoners at Oflag were a group of captured officers from the Battle of the Bulge, North Africa, and the Normandy Invasion--a total of about 1,500 American officer prisoners of war. Colvin says he was part of an advance patrol sent to look for the prison camp and "get Patton's son-in-law out". "We were on a patrol ahead of the front lines," said Colvin. "When we got to the camp where we thought they were, there was no one there. They had been moved. We (approximately 200) were subsequently captured, on March 26, 1945, while on this patrol, and spent 34 days as Prisoners of War. "The Germans marched us every day farther into Germany, and away from the Americans. "I lost about 30 pounds on that march." Colvin stayed a prisoner until the war ended. "When the war ended two guys rode up to us in a jeep and told us the war was over and you can go. We then went to 'Tent City' for a few days and were flown back to England." On the same day as Colvin and his patrol were captured history records the special task force breaking through enemy lines at Aschaffenburg, Germany on their way to liberate Oflag. The battalion and many POWS met with disaster. The task force consisted of 54 vehicles, 10 medium tanks, 6 light tanks, 3 self propelled Howitzers, 27 Halftracks, and eight jeeps, all manned by 307 officers and men. Task Force Baum fought the entire distance to the prisoner of war camp, attacking German troops, boats on the river, and trains. The camp was reached by late afternoon the same day and blasted their way into camp. With armored US force overlooking the camp, a delegation of American prisoners, including Patton's son-in-law walked out under a white flag. Mistaking the group as escapees, a guard fired and seriously wounded Patton's son-in-law, Col. Waters. Waters was saved through an emergency operation by two Serbian doctors. The prisoners joy at being rescued soon turned to a new kind of despair. Captain Baum was expecting 300 prisoners and found he was overrun with 1,300 prisoners instead. There was not enough room on vehicles or enough rations. The battalion had also suffered considerable casualties. Hundreds of prisoners sadly returned to camp. Approximately 200 others climbed onto vehicles, only to find themselves in fierce fighting on the way back to friendly lines. German tank destroyers, panzerfausts and machine guns brought the mission down. Of the 307 members of the task force, only 15 U.S. Soldiers reached American lines. Those that lived, who had come to release the prisoners, became prisoners themselves in the very same camp. Gen. Patton later said this raid was his only major failure of the war. Colvin, said he remembers some very cold months during the European campaigns. "I remember one time we were pinned down in the snow. One guy said he wasn't going to lay around in that snow any longer and he just got up and started walking toward a forest. He made it all the way without getting shot. We couldn't believe it. I guess he figured he didn't have anything to lose. He didn't care if he got shot. He was just tired of the snow and cold." While serving, Colvin trained personnel in combat techniques and tactics. He received Decorations and Citations for: serving in campaigns in American Theater, European, African, and Middle Eastern; and also earned the Good Conduct, Distinguished Unit Badge, and Victory Medal. Discharged May 7, 1946 Colvin returned to Lockney and to farming. He worked for Lockney Gin for 22 years and 18 years for the Coop at South Plains before retiring. He married Lois Morgan in 1967. The couple has no children. In March of 2002 Colvin received a long awaited decoration-his High School Diploma. In a ceremony at Lockney High School, Superintendent Raymond Lusk proudly presented Lon C. Colvin with his 1946 high school diploma. A Senate Bill passed in 2001 allowed a school district to issue a high school diploma to a person honorably discharged from the U.S. armed forces, if they were scheduled to graduate from high school and had to leave the service for WWII. The
diploma carried the signatures of the 1944 Superintendent
H.P. Clemons; principal Mrs. Henry Hodel; Board President
Hugh Carroll; and board secretary Edgar Hayes.

TONY PEREZ
By Coach Prather Tony Perez, a senior at Floydada High School will compete for the 3rd straight time at the State Cross Country Meet in Round Rock, Saturday, November 12. He has been one of the most dedicated athletes at the high school during this time period. He finished 22nd and 39th respectively the last two years at State and expects to be in the top ten this year. He has also competed in track and power-lifting during his high school career. His numerous accomplishments include: Cross Country: four year Regional Qualifier; two time District champ; ran on the team that qualified for the Regional Cross Country Meet four consecutive years and won the District Championship for 3 consecutive years. Track: 3 time Regional qualifier in the 3200 meter run, one time Regional qualifier in the 1600 meter run; 2 time District champion in the 3200 meter run and District champion in the 1600 meter run during his sophomore year. Power Lifting: State Qualifier. It is evident that Tony has worked hard to have had all this success, but the one that may not be so evident is how big Tony's desire and heart are. He continues to amaze almost everyone that is around him for any length of time. Even at the Regional Meet this past Saturday, the winner spoke of how he wasn't for sure he was going to catch Tony, although he is at least a head taller than Tony. Tony
has demonstrated to me through these four years that he may
have the biggest heart of any athlete that has ever attended
Floydada High School. It has been a remarkable four years
and a time in my life I will cherish as long as I live.
Truly it has been a privilege to see Tony mature as a runner
and as a person. I expect great things in the future for
Tony.

Juan Gonzalez, 74, was killed in a tractor accident, Wednesday, November 3, on County Road 244, 1/2 mile east of Floydada. Gonzalez' daughter, Rosa Gonzalez, became concerned that her father had not come home and at approximately 12:00 midnight went to the field where he was working. According to Floyd County Deputy Toby Brazee, Gonzalez had been driving a 1950 Farm All Tractor (with no cab). "He was pulling a pipe with two boards wired to it to knock down weeds," said Brazee. "Apparently when the tractor was turning around the chain got wrapped around the left tractor tire. The chain was then pulled up over his back which forced him down. He was still in his seat but doubled over." EMS and Fire Department personnel were called to the scene. "No vital signs could be found," said Brazee. "The fire department had to get him out. "He had a severe head injury but it is not known at this time if the head injury is what killed him." Gonzalez was born September 11, 1931 in Valle De Zaragoza, CHI, Mexico to the late Juan and Soledad Sotelo Gonzalez. He married Emilia Soto on March 12, 1955 in Valle De Zaragoza, CHI, Mexico. He moved to Floydada from Olton in 1990. He was preceded in death by two sons, Humberto Gonzalez in 1966, Humberto Gonzalez in 1989, and a brother Eduardo Gonzalez. Survivors include his wife, a son, Luis Gonzalez of Mexico; six daughters, Leticia Perea, of Lubbock, Virginia Gonzalez of Phoenix, Rosa Lina Gonzalez, of Floydada, Olivia Banda, of Phoenix, Dora Gonzalez, of Springlake-Earth, Ismelda Luna, of Lubbock; three sisters, Consuelo, Esperanza, and Cliofas Gonzalez, of Mexico; three brothers, Concepcion Gonzalez, of Mexico, Manuel Gonzalez, of Denver, and Santiago Gonzalez, of Dimmitt; 21 grandchildren, and 14 great grandchildren.

Dear Editor Last Thursday November 3, after each team finished their ballgame, I decided to announce that this was the last football game for both teams this year and gave the record of both the home and visiting team. I included both sides as it was the end of their football season also and they had a fairly good size number of fans, as we did at the stadium. What I was attempting to do, was to have the people in attendance of the games make each player from either side feel like they had accomplished something in their first School District football season, regardless of the number of games that were on whatever side of the scoreboard. During the time that you play athletics, you must build determination, loyalty and leadership to have any success within your school years. Without people applauding the team, the athletes will never know that they accomplished anything. My goal was to get someone to applaud the team members for their actions and accomplishments on and off the field. I am very sorry if what I said was not understood as I meant it to be, and that I upset players and left them with the idea I was making fun of the record they ended with. It is my personal opinion that records mean nothing. The only thing that matters is your determination and loyalty to your team. I again deeply apologize to all players that I upset with what I said on Thursday night. Sincerely, Chuck Martin
By The Way | by Alice Gilroy My choir director always has cute granddaughter stories to share, and a couple of them have really made me laugh. Berkeley (who turned 5 this week) recently spent the night with her grandmother. She was jumping on the bed and bounced off and hit her head on the edge of the nightstand. Berkeley cried loudly and grandma knew she was hurt. A huge bump came up on the side of her head and grandma (who is a firm believer in the power of prayer) began to pray and ask God to touch her head and heal her pain......on and on. At the end of the prayer Berkeley asked Grandma if she could add one thing. "Of course", grandma replied. "Dear God," said Berkeley, "When you touch my head, be careful and don't touch it too hard, because it hurts". Berkeley is the same one who was telling her grandmother about her day in school. She said her class had talked about what to do if a stranger approaches you. Grandma asked Berkeley, "What are you going to do?" "Well", said Berkeley, "if a stranger starts coming towards you, you should start yelling out 'Jesus, Jesus!'. "And then what happens?" said Grandma. "Jesus will come down and kick some butt," said Berkeley. I like the way Berkeley thinks. Go Jesus!!
This was a funny sent to me by one of our readers. It came from "Harmony Herald". It may take a minute for some of you to understand it--but newspaper people get it right away. We get "suspicious" letters to the editor all the time that should really be paid "Thank-yous", or advertising of some other kind, so this made me laugh.
Dear Editor, I was appalled to learn of the outrageous price to advertise in your newspaper. Ten dollars for a three-line ad in the classifieds! I am a God-fearing widow and don't have that kind of money to throw around. It's all I can do to put gas in my low mileage, very clean, two-door, 1979 Ford Granada, which I only drove to church and am now selling for $450.00. You should be ashamed. Mrs. Ruth Harmon 555-9834
A View From The Lamplighter | by Ken Towery Our President has pulled back the name of Harriet Miers to be his nominee for the next Justice of the Supreme Court, replacing his original nominee, who was intended to replace Sandra Day O'Connor on the court, with Samuel Alito, who is currently serving on one of the Appeals Courts. Harriet, ostensibly, pulled back her own name after her nomination caused such a stir among "Neo-Conservatives" in the body politic. In the process, the whole issue of our next Supreme Court Justice became a very important cog in the overall machinery of American politics. The "Neo-Conservatives," to be blunt about it, are almost completely what used to be called Jewish intellectuals on the fringes of the liberal political establishment in the United States. Having only limited success within the liberal establishment, which was their natural home and where they felt most comfortable, they gravitated gradually to conservative circles, where their reputation for intellectualism made them most welcome. But they had to maintain their own identity as "caring" conservatives, hence the name "Neo-Conservatives", or new conservatives, or conservatives with a heart. Conservatives, in those early days, felt somewhat bereft of brainpower simply because most intellectual activity was on the Left, and more than a few conservatives, who had fought the good fight for many years, were seeking leaders who could go toe to toe with creatures from the New Republic, or The Nation, or the New York Times, or any number of left-wing rags that espoused Democratic politics. We looked with admiration to those like William F. Buckley who not only had the intellect to engage in combat with the Left, but had the intestinal fortitude to do so. Needless to say, it was under those circumstances where many of us felt alone and somewhat betrayed when George W. Bush came forth with the announcement that he was to be a "compassionate conservative," as distinguished from the old regular conservatives, a base from which many of us had fought political wars long before we ever knew that young George had a political thought in his head, and, for that matter, before young George even knew he had a political thought in his head. At any rate, young George, in complete opposition to his father, went about the process of currying favor with the Israeli lobby in the United States. Young George, as we have said many times before, understands politics much better than did his father. His father was out of that Northeastern Republican upbringing that said people with money owed something back to society, and about the only way to achieve that was put your name out there and let people decide. Unfortunately, it made them sitting ducks for the Rockefellers and Scrantons of this world, people who would spend the family fortune to achieve and keep political power. The first thing young George did upon gaining the nomination was choose a Vice President who had complete acceptance within that same lobby. Ditto with Donald Rumsfeld, who was chosen to head the Department of Defense. We know of no two men who toe the line more closely with Ariel Sharon more than those two. The intelligence operation of the two countries was, for all practical purposes, combined, with the summaries and outputs being all but identical. Rotten, sorry, intelligence fed into one agency's pipeline was credited by other intelligence agencies with being gospel truth, simply because it came from sources other than our own, rather than being looked on as suspect for the same reason. In the Grand Scheme of politics, Democrats could do nothing, as many "consultants" in politics relayed to an eagerly awaiting press the predations of Palestinians, and the heroic response by Israelis. They could not go to the core of Bush's (the elder Bush) support in the Gulf War, lest they be accused of anti-Semitism, and they had depended on that source of income for generations. Ever since former President Harry Truman, who endorsed the idea of a Jewish state in the Holy Land, the Democratic Party had enjoyed a near monopoly of support within the Jewish community. Their vote totals for Democrats ranged above the 80 percentile range. Their financial contributions were in the same category. Bush was determined to change that, if he could. The nomination of Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court placed a new factor in the traditional machinery, one that Bush, for all his political smarts, overlooked. She was, or she professed to be, a born-again Christian. What then could the Pat Robertsons and the Jerry Falwells do, since they who also professed Christianity but supported Israel in lock-step fashion? What could they do when so terribly many "neo-conservatives," came out against Miers for entirely extraneous reasons. They most assuredly could not take issue with their long-term benefactors. The conservative movement, of which the "neo-cons" had become a very vocal part, was split between the Christians, who looked on Miers with a mixture of hope and suspicion, and the more vocal newcomers, who had their own suspicions. The good thing about politics is that in a few months, no one will remember Harriet Miers, except perhaps George W. Bush and others in the President's office. Alito will be confirmed and take his seat on the High Court. The country will, unhappily, be spared the so-called "nuclear option", for now. But it will happen some day, and it should. Senators go to Washington to represent their constituents, unless, of course, they want to chicken out, like Pete Laney, and head for a hiding place. (Correction: A recent lamplighter identified Mac Thornberry as being from Cleburne. His hometown is Clarendon and we want to apologize for the error.)
