The Bastrop County District
Committee, Boy Scouts of Amer-
ica, Capitol Area Council, met
for the regular monthly meeting
September 9th at the Courthouse
Annex in Bastrop. This meeting
marked the first anniversary of
organized scouting in Bastrop
County and the approval by the
district committee of those nom-
inated previously to carry on the
activities of the District for an-
other year.
The retiring chairman, Dr. J.
Gordon Bryson, reviewed the ac-
complishments of the past year
and challenged the members pre-
sent to do even a better job .dur-
ing the coming year. Officers
nominated for the purpose of con-
tinuing this good work are Paine
Williams, of Elgin, chairman; O.
W. Craddock of Smithville; Dr. R.
W. Loveless of Bastrop, and Paul
R. Abel of Elgin, vice chairmen.
The newly nominated chairman
Williams appointed the following
to serve as chairmen of the six co-
operating committees for the
year: Mr. C. C. Creighton of Bas-
trop, chairman of Organization
and Extension; Mr. R. W. Behal
of Smithville, chairman of Lead-
ership Training; Mr. Paul R.
Abel, of Elgin, chairman of Fin-
ance; Dr. C. G. Goddard of Bas-
trop, chairman of Health and
Safety; Mr. S. Q. Lee of Elgin,
chairman of Advancement; and
the Rev. Claude Faust of Rockne,
chairman of Camping and Acti-
vities.
Boy Scout Troops in existence
or operating in Bastrop County
one year ago had dwindled to
three negro troops. Previous acti-
vities were hap-hazard and for a
period of many years there would
have been none of this work with
any of our boys, had it not been
for the efforts of a few persons
acting individually. The lack of
interest generally and the lack of
organization and financial support
was reflected in the absence of a
continuous and expanding pro-
gram. Those few individuals who
worked alone through the years
were instrumental in getting the
Boy Scout work in this County
nedy, secretary to the State Exe-
cutive Committee, and Johnson
from certifying Johnson’s name to
the Texas Secretary of State as
the senatorial nominee.
And so, the people sit back
again to await the next move of
this game of political checkers.
The Dixicrats were ousted from
the convention late Tuesday af-
ternoon, and Truman - Barkley
forces took their place. President
Harry S. Truman won the Texas
Democratic Convention Tuesday
two to one.
It was a spectacular and noisy
meeting, to say the least.

is very important that this pro-

life and progress. The interest
and support of all good people
should be solicited and the bene-

The six operating chairmen will
soon be selecting from the various
communities additional commit-

programs. Any and all persons
interested in any phase of scout-

men according to their individual
interests. Now that a good start
has been made, the people of this
County will not let our boys
down. The boys’ appreciation of
your interest and support will be-
gin paying dividends now which
will increase manifold as they
reach maturity and take their
places in our communities.

DR. T.B. TAYLOR
OBSERVES 86TH
BIRTHDAY
Dr. T. B. Taylor of Jourdan-
ton,. former physician in Elgin,
and father of Mrs. J. F. Metcalfe,
Sr., recently observed his 86th
birthday, and in honor of the oc-
casion, Dr. E. J. Anderson, of
Jourdanton paid a beautiful tri-
bute to this venerable doctor,
whom so many in Bastrop County
love. Appearing in the Atascosa
County Monitor, issue of Sept-
ember 9th, it reads:
“Dr. T. B. Taylor, well known
Jourdanton physician celebrated
his 86th birthday last week, and
on Sunday morning he preached
the Layman’s Sermon at the First
Methodist Church. Dr. E. J. An-
derson, who has been ill for the
past weeks, invited Dr. Taylor to
fill the pulpit and in his genial
manner, Dr. Taylor accepted the
invitation and preached a good
sermon to an interested audience.
Dr. Taylor enjoys an enviable re-
cord in more than one field of
endeavor.
He has practiced medicine for
more than 63 years which is a
long time to do much good tow-
ard people. He and Mrs. Taylor
have been happily married for 61
years, and thus Mrs. Taylor has
shared her husband’s full life
for a long term of years, but
even more so, with a most beauti-
ful Christian spirit.
» Dr. Taylor and his family, are
members of the Presbyterian
Church, but his Christian exper-
ience is much larger and more far
reaching than any denomination-
al lines. The writer of these lines
feels that the most remarkable
thing possible did take place at
the First Methodist Church of
Jourdanton on Sunday morning,
September 5th, 1948 and it was
this: Dr. Taylor, 86 years of age
with all the physical, mental and
spiritual facilities of a young
man, preached a marvelous ser-
mon to an appreciative audince
of friends. We wish for him and
his family a long rambor of years
of happy life, and for all of us the
benefits of Dr. Taylor’s Christian
experience.”

SCHULENBURG
FALLS TO ELGIN
WILDCATS 18-0
In a game played on a soggy
field with misting rain falling most
of the night, the Elgin Wildcats
defeated the Schulenburg Short-
horns 18-0 there Friday night.
It took Elgin thr.ee plays from
scrimmage to score after Hilla
Hendricks gathered in the open-
ing kickoff on. his own 20 and re-
turned it to the Cats 30. Hend-
ricks then hit the line for 5 yards.
Harry Burke broke through for
15 and a first down at mid-field.
Then Hendricks lugged the leath-
er for the remaining 50 and the
Cats initial tally of the 1948 sea-
son. Burke’s attempt to kick the
point was blocked.
In the third period an exchange
of punts gave the Shorthorns the
ball on their own 9 yard stripe. A
penalty for too much time and an
incomplete pass brought about a
hurried punt that was gathered in
by Jack Lane on the Shorthorn
30 and raced back to the 22. After
a no gain fumble, Joie Hughes hit
the line for 7, Hendricks picked
up 11 on an end sweep, and then
on the next play line plunged the
remaining distance for the Cats
second T.D.
Still in the third frame, an at-
tempted Schulenburg punt was
partially blocked. Jim Christensen
fielded the bounding ball on the
Shorthorn 32 and carried it to the
18. Hendricks swept the end for
2. Burke picked up 10 through
the middle. Hendricks then
crashed the line for 6 yards and
the Wildcat final touchdown.
Burke’s attempt to hit the line
for both of the third quarter
tallys were squelched.
