telligent, informed voters.
Representatives Charles Mur-
phy and Carleton Moore took
advantage of the occasion to air
their opinions on subjects not
under discussion.
Murphy said that he would
like to consider a question that
was not brought up by the others
concerning unequal school taxes.
While he did not dw’ell on the
t tw'o proposals, he did say that he
thought meetings such as this
| w'ere a hopeful sign.
School teachers w’ho favor ac-
cepting funds from Washington
got special attention from Moore
1 who said he was shocked to think
such people were teaching chil-
dren. He suggested that the
group draw a bill and offered to
get together with them then. He
made a lengthy speech concern-
ing an attempt on the part of
Washington to get control of
Texas, said that American His-
tory should he taught in schools.
Miller told the citizens that
the meeting brought the need for
change to the front and that
change was progress. However,
because he was host to the group
he refused to comment on the
proposals.
Part of the audience headed
by William Michaels, election
judge of Precinct 10, and J. B.
Adoue objected to the plans for
changes. Micheals said that his
friends had no objection to the
change of term but that the spe-
cial election drew only the in-
telligent, informed voters instead
of a large voting body. He seem-
ed to think the school system
was adequate at the present.
Mrs. Carl Olsen and E. T.
Morgan both said they favored
any change that would help the
children.
Plans for the 1950 Scouterversity are formulated hy the Leadership Training Committee of the

dren that they picketed the finest
stadium job in the country.
We don’t want to be picayun-
ish about the stadium, but we did
note a few defects in the plan-
ning.
For one thing the architects
didn't provide any way to dis-
pose of or torture people who
have seats in the middle of the
row' and get iq at the last minute.
That was disappointing. We
thought sure there would be a
chute or a trap door of some
sort to handle that situation.
And another thing no provision
W’as made to make all women
fans go through a shearing de-
vice to cut off the tops of their
hats. We sat right in back of a
lady w’ho had on a felt model of
the Empire State Building and
on top of that she had a pheas-
ant’s tail feather that w-ent up
about 18 inches, then broke at
an angle just right to hit us on
the nose every time she turned
her head. My wrife thought for a
w’hile that I had combination
hysterics and hay fever until I
told her what was wrong.
It didn't bother me long,
though. I bent the feather so
that it hit her husband in the
face when she looked the other
way. The first time the feather
hit him they got up and went
home.
It’s pretty high in those upper
stands, too. One fan, a little on
the tight side, finally found his
seat on the 42nd row’ of the up-
per tier. He took one look around,
turned to his friend and said:
"Shay you haven’t seen ole Bill
have you?”
"Bill?” his friend said, "gad
he's been dead for years.”
"Shure. I know he has,” the
drunk said, "but while we re up
here I jush- thought we'd look
him up!”
