About

Happy Days Are Here Again,
might well be the theme song of
the week in Albany, if one con-
siders times of long ago as the
happy times of all ages. Certain-
ly, a stranger stopping briefly in
the city Wednesday and viewing
show windows up and down the
streets, was justified in stopping
in at this newspaper office to in-
quire what it's all about. An
elderly man who could well re-
member when "styles" exhibited in
the windows were all the vogue,
he said he was getting a great
thrill out of the sights. Well, who
wouldn't? Throngs of home folks,
as well as scores of out of town
people, have milled up and down
the streets all week viewing the
displays.
Old clothes, including dresses up
to 150 years old and still well pre-
served, have attracted a great deal
of attention. Naturally, styles of
clothing are more attractive than
some other articles of window dec-
orations, but all are certainly
worthy of mention. No one could
imagine there was such a wealth
of interesting old clothes, pictures,
documents, letters, iron and china,
furniture, and the thousand and
one odd articles, both useful and
ornamental, stored away in Albany
homes.
AlT>any has put her whole heart
and interest into this year's Fan-
dangle and no stone has been left
unturned. Patience and endurance
on the part of the director, Bob
Nail, and his capable assistant,
Alice Reynolds, and the untiring
cooperation of many who are
taking part in the production, will
find a reward in the success of the
show that is so different and en-
chanting. It is truly a Cavalcade
of the West, or possibly of Shack-
elford county, but one which would
do credit as a feature of the Dal-
las Fair, or any state sponsored
entertainment.
Practically all daily newspapers
of Texas have been wiring in this
week for stories, - f>r making ar-
rangements for their staff writers
to get stories on the wire as soon
as the first performance has been
completed. Life Magazine, one of
the nation's top news magazines,
had their photographer and staff
writer here by Wednesday, and
many others were arriving here
later. We predict that Hollywood
will send photographers next year
and make the Fandangle into a full
length movie show. It certainly
would be something different on
the screen.
The Fandangle Is to get a fin-
al mention oil the air waves Sat-
urday at 12:80 with an esti-
mated one million listeners to
hear about our show. The Home-
town Editor of WFAA-570, has
advised us to remind our read-
ers to dial this station at that
hour. However, he failed to say
whether or not he was going to
get out for the show.

Old Vol. 38, No. 35—New Vol. 9, No. 26
Albany, Texas, June 26,1947
CORRECTION
Due to typographical errors
which occurred in the ad of the
First National Bank of Albany, in
the Fandangle edition of the
Leader last week, the ad is being
rerun this week with corrections
inserted.
Moody Burnett, assistant cash-
ier, put in many hours of research
to present the comparison in fig-
ures and we urge readers to note
the advance from the earliest date
records were available, until the
latest report in the bank state-
ment.
As we finish up this bit of copy
before closing out to go to press on
Thursday evening, we might add a
line or so about the Fandangle
parade, which was pronounced one
of the most colorful and interest-
ing affairs ever presented in Al-
bany. It was the Fandangle in
part, although in a different form
because there was neither music
nor dancing, which makes up the
greater part of the Fandangle
show. We doubt if there were a
dozen people in their homes in Al -
bany, and maybe not many more
in the county, as it looked as if
about all the 6500 population of
the county lined the streets for the
parade. In addition, we had a
large crowd from Abilene and
nearly every town in Texas had
representatives here. But they
surely got their money's worth for
coming.
Alathean Class Has
Picnic Supper and
Gift Shower
The Alathean class of the First
Baptist church held their monthly
social meeting Tuesday evening at
the water plant with a picnic sup-
per combined with a gift shower
for Mrs. Nora L. Fade, who lost
her home by fire last week.
Mrs. Lee Sanders was hostess
for the supper and furnished
drinks, bread and pickles, with
each member bringing a covered
dish. Following the supper hour a
nice assortment of gifts were dis-
played for the honoree. Unable to
attend the meeting, Mrs. Fade was
presented the gifts at her apart-
ment at Hill Top Courts, where
she is making her home.
Attending the picnic were Mrs.
A. J. Tippett, class teacher, and
Mmes. R. C. Harris, Lynn Pate,
V. B. Cotten, Esther Mitchell, R. O.
Rogers, J. T. Cockrell, Harper, W.

Soil Conservation
District News
Harvesting of vetch is in full
swing and district cooperators of
the Lower Clear Fork of the Braz-
os Soil Conservation District are
reaping a bumper crop.
W. E. Cannon, district coopera-
tor in the Moran conservation
group, harvested his vetch and rye
last week and reported a yield of
300 pounds per acre of vetch-rye
mixture. The vetch was planted
about October 15, 1946 on a sandy
loam soil. It was double-rowed
and 100 pounds of 4-12-4 fertilizer
per acre applied. Mr. Cannon
states that he is well satisfied
with this crop and will increase
his acreage another year.
Vetch is not only a good soil
improving crop, but also has furn-
ished abundance of grazing during
spring months. It is also an ex-
cellent cover crop during winter
months.
Max Anderson, in the Morris
conservation group, located 4
miles east of Moran, harvested his
40 acres of fall sown vetch with a
yield of 400 pounds per acre of rye
and vetch. Mr. Anderson believes
when he gets the vetch and rye
seperated, that he will have 14,000
pounds of clean vetch seed. Mr.
Anderson has been planting vetch
on his land the past two years as
soil improving crop and a cash
crop. This is in accordance with
the district coordinated soil and
water conservation program.
Vetch seed will again be scarce
this year. District board of super-
visors wish to urge farmers and
ranchers to get their seed needs,
as well as fertilizers, immediately
for next fall seeding.
Soil conservation service tech-
nicians at Albany, assisting the
farmers and ranchers in the Lower
Clear Fork of the Brazos Soil Con-
servation District, have been
working- with farmers and ranch-
ers in the district in planning and
apnlication of coordinated soil am'
water conservation programs.
In a district board of supervis-
ors meeting Tuesday, conservation
plans were approved on the fol-
lowing farms and ranches: Ben
Morrison farm, Pitzer and Sons
ranch, and Tom Blanton Jr. 7-Tri-
angle ranch.

New Ellenburger
Discovery Reported
On Davis Ranch
Hickok & Reynolds, Inc. No. 1,
Merrick Davis, opened a new El-
lenburger lime pool of great prom-
ise with flow of 35 barrels hourly
on short flow tests after washing
with 500 gallons acid 8 feet casing
perforations from 4949 to 4957
feet. Located northeast of south-
east quarter section 14, block 12,
T&PRR on southwest flank Hope
shallow pool 7 miles west of Al-
bany.
The shallow production area in
Throckmorton county 15 miles
southwest of Throckmorton has
been picked as location for an El-
lenburger test by Owenwood pool
No. 3, which will drill the No. 26
Howsley-McCord 660 feet from the
south anfl west lines of the east 80
acres of section 28 Comanche In-
dian reservation survey. Slated to
test to 5,000 feet, the well is to be
drilled with rotary.
Location for two new shallow
tests on the T. W. Lee ranch two
miles southwest of Albany have
been filed by P. S. Kendrick of
Abilene. They are the No. 1-B,
220 feet from the north and west
lines of the south half of section
16, block 11, T&P survey, and the
No. 2-B 220 feet from the north
and 1,200 feet from the west line
of the same lease. Both are to go
to 1,500 feet with cable tools.
In Throckmorton county, 10
miles southwest of Throckmorton,
Ashland Oil and Refining Co., No.
1-A Matthews will be a 4,750 foot
rotary test located 330 feet from
the south and east lines of scction
67 Comanche Indian Reservation
survey.
Official gauge of 103.74 barrels
of 42.5 gravity oil in seven hours
has been filed for the Phillips Pe-
troleum company No. 1 Compton

was through 16-64 choke with 1,-
42o pounds pressure on casing and
960 on tubing from 80 perforations
in casing at 4,270-90 feet. Total
depth was 4,292.
Our office had callers through-
out the afternoon — many old
friends we had known in other
places and almost forgotten, or at
least had lost track of them, but
we appreciated their visits and
were happy to renew friendships.
But that is one of the fine things
about the Fandangle—every home
is open to the throngs who time
their visits for this special occa-
sion. It is qu'te amusing too, how
many old friends meet each other
here while visiting relatives and
friends, although neither ever lived
in Albany. All week long messages
have poured in by wire and other-
wise, advising their acceptance or
regrets, but with assurance they
will attend next year's Fandangle.
Greetings from Calcutta, India,
were received this week by Robert
E. Nail, from a former narrator in
the Fandangle, Jean Anderson,
who was too far away to return
for the show this year. Jean and
Laddie, who have been overseas
only a few months and plan to be
away two years, are evidently
thinking of the Fandangle and
have their hearts in Albany re-
gardless of the long distance from
home.

Moran Pioneer Here
Recalls Early Days
L. P. Jones, pioneer resident of
Moran, is here this week from his
home at Truscott, for a visit with
his niece, Miss Ollie E. Clarke, and
to attend the Fandangle. Mr.
Jones was agent at Moran for the
old Texas Central railroad soon
after the trains began to run out
this way from Waco.
He also recalls many other inter-
esting experiences of pioneer days
in this county. Notably, is the
time his mule team balked while
he was carrying the mail, on the
star route from Moran to Eolian,
a postoffice which was discon-
tinued many years ago when
Eolian became a ghost town. - He
declares if a farmer patron on the
route had not come to his aid, he
might still be trying to coax that
mule team to complete the mail
route.
Incidentally, he was thoroughly
enjoying his window shopping tour
on Main street in Albany this
week, more especially, the old
photographs displayed in the San-
ders Appliance Store window
where likenesses of all the early
pioneers are on parade. It is re-
markable what a memory he has
after the many years he has lived
away from Shackelford county.

Fandangle Parade
Opens Performance
Of Three-Day Show
No more colorful and interesting
parade ever traversed Albany's
Main street than the Fandangle
ensemble which marched through
town Thursday afternoon and cir-
cled one block at the south end of
Main to return by the same route
and disperse at the show grounds
on the high school football field.
The parade was an assemblage
of some of the best horse flesh
that has ever been viewed in West
Texas, nicluding gentle cow ponies
and prancing steeds that held
heads high pulled at the bits for
faster action; old time buggies,
surreys, farm wagons; and other
conveyances except that no mod-
ern or motor driven vehicle was
permitted in the parade.
Performers included all ages of
the county's population, from tiny
3%-year-old Mollie Caldwell, to 70-
80-year-old cowboys. Typical of
the pioneer days in this area, the
affair was also a style parade for
the ladies with scores wearing the
same costumes that had been worn
by their mothers or grandmothers
in former years.
John H. Sedwick, parade chair-
man, is due much credit and praise
for the success of the Fandangle
parade, which far outclassed any
ever given in Albany. He has
worked untiringly for several
weeks and commendation for his
success was most heartily express-
ed by scores of those viewing the
parade.
Prizes awarded following the
parade went to Uncle George New-
comb for most typical cowboy
over 55; Guy Slay, most typical
cowboy 21-55; John Lewis, most
typical cowboy under 21; Janice
Hightower, most typical cowgirl
under 21; and Mrs. Joe B. Mat-
thews who wore the most typical
costume. Most typical vehicle in
the parade was the Webb family
surrey, with five members of the
Webb and Matthews families as
passengers.
