to
tonan and its water shortage
Jed a bit of publicity in a
Carolina newspaper last
It seems a gentleman from
state visited Texas the past
ner, and while in this area,
at three days In Coleman. He
that this country was the
test he has ever seen, and told
we are Jiftpyoif water from
bwnwood, but the thing that im-
fcssed him was the optimism of
Pieman citizen, and thteir faith
the future. Re recalled talking
merchant who exclaimed
re It" bad, and we don’t
|tpect anything better now, but
st wait, thq rains will come." The
orth Carollhian pictured Coleman
punty some better In other re-
ects. He stated the soil here Ls so
rtile that fertlhzer is unknown,
pd when it does" rain, the farmer
akes a killing on cotton and feed
gins. Our visitor made some mls-
Ikes. He reported Coleman as hav-
Ig *.000 population and quoted a
lerchant as saying If he were to
111 he could only get 10c on the
pilar for his property. But he was
L-olutely right In that Coleman
are optimistic about the sit-
pticn, and that we are looking
ard to that ’.made-to-order"

RED HOT’ KITTENS PLAY
SAN ANGELO HERE TONIGHT
Coleman, as we know, is not
the only town suffering from
lack of water. For instance, a
California city had to restrict
water use for health and sani-
tation only. Residents there
used Ingenuity and saved dish
water, bath and laundry water
and sprinkled It on their flow-
ers and lawns. Others paid 2c
per gallon for-water brought
from outside the restricted
ea. We have an idea that
heir shortage was not quite
sustained as the one we are
LIONS and cm OFFICIALS are shown here with some of the 100 new two-way metal street markers
*hich will be installed soon on some of the most used streets. The new markers arrived this week Shown

It. First don't miss the Junior
game tonight at Hufford
fid. Second, we enjoyed the
day afternoon practice of the
cats. There was one Incident
ch we especially enjoyed. The
che* were emphasizing down-
ed blocking. On one play, a
nt end run. big Tackle Wayne
Uaenhan and two other boys were
fining Interference for the boll
frier. Two defenders approached,
[lowed closely by Guard Jake
■ner. who was trying to Join
Interference. Brusenhan threw
■low roiling block, got the two
tender* and Turner too. He
laned the field. The ' coaches
(uld find no objection to that
rendered the matter was
taken- up. and a few months ago
100 two-way signs were ordered.
They arrived this week.
The City of Coleman agreed to
go fifty-fifty on the cost of the
street signs with the Lions Club.
The total cost ls approximately
$1200. The city will start Installing
the new markers, which arc out-
standing, in a few days. The In-
stallation is being delayed due to,
paving program on West 5th Street, i
leading to Hufford Field, which1
is being rushed to completion.
As shown in picture on this'- page,
the metal street markers are at-
tractively designed with two-way
markings, and wilt be installed on
pipe set In concrete.. The one hun-
dred signs will be a starter in the
street marking program which Ls
expected to eventually spread over
the entire city.
The city wiU place the 100 mark-
ers on some of the most used streets
so the greatest number of people
will be benefltted. It would take
several hundred signs to cover the
city properly, but It ls hoped by
all concerned that the program will
continue by some means, until all
streets are marked.
The street markers will be placed
