Is Collected
Some people collect diam
onds. Some collect . debts.
Some go for string, others
for antiques, or money! But
even in a nation of collectors,
Henry McCallum has to stand
out.; He collects barbed wire.
' And now the Tyler, Texas
man and his wife, ' Frances,
have written a book about
his experiences. It is called
"The Wire That Fenced The
West " published by the Uni
versity of Oklahoma Press. '
It all started for McCal
lum in the course of his as
signments with Humble Oil
& Refining Company as a
geologic scout, field geologist
and surface geologist begin
ning in 1929. After 10 years
of climbing over, under, and
through fences made of barb
ed wire, it occurred to the
tfcll, lanky Texan that there
were significant differences
in this clothes-tearing item.
Sjnce then he has accumu
lated samples of about 100
types of barbed wire quali
fying for distinctly different
patents. . : :-.'-'--v-i

On Job Until
immediately. I inquired of
the chairman upon what
grounds the request was
based. He said on the basis
a report from the State Au
diting Department. I asked
him for time to read and
study the report. Dr. Bon
ner again asked for my resig
nation immediately. I asked
the board to give me one
week to study the report and
to meet with them again for
the purpose of explaining
some of the items from my
viewpoint. This was denied
and a third request was made
for my resignation. I told
them I needed time to study
the report and to seek legal
advice since my conscience
was clear. I did.not resign
because I am not guilty of
any wrong doing and should
be given an opportunity to
make an explanation to the
board.
