1969: The city of Tucumcari will have a new set of city commissioners and other officials tomorrow when the Tucumcari Camp Fire Girls take over city government for the day.
Teresa Mares will receive the gavel from Mayor Kenneth Schlientz in a special ceremony at city hall at 9 a.m. New officials will have lunch (Dutch treat) at Del’s at 11:45. Carol Ann Williams will be mistress of ceremonies, and entertaining the group with their singing will be Karen Hennig and Ellyn Hamilton. Following the luncheon will be a city commission meeting at 1 p.m. and a 2:15 police court. Presentation of city officials will be at 3:30.
Residents should be on the alert, for the new police officers will be watching for jaywalkers, people walking too fast, taking too long for coffee break, wearing hems too short or too long, stepping off the curb too soon, shirt cuffs showing beneath sleeves, going against traffic lights, illegal parking and persons wearing too much makeup. Those committing any of those offenses will be arrested and must appear before the Police Judge.
