Howdy!
By Dick Reavls
Last week we wrote of little Ed-
die Mata, the brave 9-yeiTr-old city
boy who was just home from a
large hospital, where the doctors
had done everything they could for
a bey as sick as he is,
Eddie wanted a guitar. He needed
other things, to be sure, but he
heeded a guitar most, to pick out
simple melodies in the long hours
In bed he has ahead of him.
Eddie's story told itself. Al-
most as soon as it was printed
Thursday, his guitar was bought
by a Coleman man. The paper
$as hardly delivered in Santa
Anna when a man there came
directly up to do the same
thing, and our phone rang Fri-
day with other offers.
These things transcend thanks
and, wonderfully, they require
none. If Eddie is happy, and
happiness has many levels, that
is enough.

One day someone will come up
with a flying saucer complete with
three-legged men, and all the pooh-
poohers hereabouts will suddenly be
very quiet.
After last .week’s story on three
“saucers” seen over town appeared,
florist Forrest Caskey admitted
that he had seen an object that
agreed In all details with the three,
a few days before these were seen.
Forrest was coming In from
south of town when he spotted
the aerial object. He hurried to
get closer to It, and then it
scurried away across the skies.
He was afraid to mention It
Forrest said, hut he saw it,
whatever It was. »

Walter Gann was an early-day
county cattleman, and a member
of a pioneer county family. In 1918
he left the county for an action-
filled career as a peace enforce-
ment officer In Kansas, and then
with the Union Pacific Railroad.
He turned an unusual writing
ability into two well-read west-
ern books. "Trail Boss” and
“Tread of the Longhorns,” that
many of-you have read. Now he
has a new western story,
“Fighting Words," scheduled
for October short story mag-
asine.
He is one of a colony of county
writers who have produced a shelf
or so Qf readable material. We’ve
mentioned before Kathryn Crav-
ens. nationally known reporter and
radio figure who last year com-
pleted the much-read “Pursuit of
Gentlemen.”
Another is Elithe Hamilton
Kirkland, a former D-V editor,
who recently authored the his-
torical novel, "Divine Average.”
She is the wife of an Austin
doctor and has been on the
Texas University teaching staff
until recently.
Beatrice Grady Gay of Santa
Anna did a history of the county,
“into the Setting Sun,” several
years back that Is still selling.
One we’ll remember for a long
time is Russell Blrdwell, a top-
level public relations man who lived
here for a time as a boy. Blrdwell
wanted to write a few years back,
and he went about it directly. He
was In Dallas at the time and dis-
pleased with certain tendencies In
the country. »
He wrote purposefully for a
while then bought a full page
ad in the Dallas News io be
his own publisher. From its top
blazed one single question:
“Where in Hell are We Going?”
Got a readership of 200,009, the
News says.

Coleman had its hottest day
of the summer Monday, as the
temperature rose to 111 degrees
which was two degrees above
the previous high of 109 of
August 8th.
The extreme heat preceded a
cool wave, which hit late yes-
terday afternoon, and saw the
mercury drop to 62 degrees
early this morning. Some rain
has been reported from yester-
day’s clouds. W. J. Stevens
states he received .45 inch on
his place four miles east of
Coleman. Also, there is an un-
confirmed report of some hail.
Regardless of the future,
Coleman County citizens are
glad to be rid of August—the
hottest month oh record—and-
they know that September is
bound to afford .some relief
from the torrid weather, ,
After readings of 100 degrees
or better for every day In the
month, August seemed determ-
ined to "cook” the population.
First, it cooled down to 100
degrees on the 27th and 29th,
which threw the public , off
guard, and then came back with
a finale of 108 on Sunday, Aug.
31, second hottest day in the
month, and just one degree be- «
low the high of 109 on Adg^Sth. )
Thus August, with its 21 (lays
of 100-plus temperature, will go
into the record books, and local
citizens are glad to be rid of it,
regardless where it goes.
There were cool moments
though, according to records of
W. J, Stevens, local weather ob-
server. For instance, early on
the morning of August 30th,
the reading dropped to 66 de-
grees and found people reach-
ing for cover.
There was even rain. Offic-
ially, the precipitation ^amount-
ed to .03 inch, with tbace of
rain on three other days.
High readings for the last
five days of the month were:
27Ui, 100; 28th, 101; 29th, 100;
30th, 103; 31st, 108.
County Demos Have
Cross-filing Worries
Coleman County Democrats to-
day have cross-filing worries as
county delegation make plans to
attend the state Democratic con-
vention at Amarillo next week.
The Amarillo convention is ex-
pected to hear a plan that will al-
low Texas Democrats to name a
slate of Democrats electors bound

lican presidential candidate.

ment are Oov. Allan Shivers and

structed to follow Gov. Shivers,
lead in the state meeting, at the
county convention that named them

are going to vote as a unit in the
state meeting.
Earlier Shivers had indicated he
might “go fishing” on November 4.

Cong. Sam Rayburn, speaker of the
U. S. House of , Representatives,
both are urging support of Steven
son by Texas Democrats.

,Miss*Johnson th'is week is mak-

$18-million figure for her report. A
final, definite county figure will be

“It will be a record value figure,

was $17,481,830, she added, a record
to that tirfie. *
The county commissioners court
this month completed equalization

Stale FHA Directors Outline 1953
Emergency Crop Loans For County
As a result of serious drouth con-
ditions in many acres of Texas many
farmers are faced with an emer-
gency need for credit not available
through local sources to buy feed
for jheir livestock and seed and
fertilizer for the planting of fall
grain and pasture crojK. according
to L. J. Cappleman, sfllte Director
of the Farmers Home Administra’-
tion of Dallas, who has received re-
ports from every section of the State
on conditions as they exist at this
time.
Cappleman has been told that if
such asssistance is not provided it
will be necessary for farmers in
these drought stricken areas to re-
duce sharply, or in many instances
to liquidate entirely, their livestock
enterprises because of the lack of
feed stuff and pasture grazing. In
the interest of the farmers con-
cerned, the agricultural economy of
the areas affected and the welfare
of the farming interests of Texas,
the Farmers Home Administration
is taking every reasonable step to
prevent the liquidation of desirable
productive livestock by drought
stricken farmers. . .
The FHA office pointed out that
in order to accomplish this purpose
and to help farmers continue in
business county offices of the Farm-
ers Home Administration are In a
position immediately to make dis-
aster loans in any county in the
State of Texas to qualified appli-
cants in accordance with published
instructions and revised policies
outlined at a meeting of State Field
Representatives in Dallas last week.
At the meeting held in Dallas,
the FHA received reports of serious
crop,losses through drought and that
fanners and ranchmen are in urgent
need of funds to buy feed, seed and
other supplies to continue their op-
erations for the remainder of this
year. In many instances it was
pointed out that these farmers will
require emergency credit to put' in
their J953 crops and funds are av-
ailable through the local Farmers
Home Administration county office
now for. the purposes indicated.
These funds are available at 3
per cent interest for crop produc-
tion needs, under the provisions of
Public Law 38.
The purpose of the disaster loan
program authorized by Public Law
38, said County FHA Supervisor
John H. Curry of Coleman Is to
provide a source of temporary or
emergency credit . to ^assist farmers
in designated areas' ’who have suf-
fered serious production loSses as a
result of drought or other natural'
causes and who are unable to ob-
tain” from other established local
sources the credit needed to con-
tinue their farming or ranching op-
erations.
The Coleman County office of the
FHA is located in the Agricultural
Building in' Coleman and applicants
may contact Curry there.

Gliders Pay Coleman Visit
Coleman bad a part In the ,19th
National Soaring Contest, which was
staged out of Grand Prairie the
past two weeks.
Although few people knew It, .two
gliders paid this city a visit last
Friday, one landed and one just
0ew over, and the one that landed
didn’t Intend to originally—he just
ran out of air currents to keep him
aloft.
The first visitor is quite famous,
holding two world records In the
glider contest*. He is Dick John-
son, University of Mississippi stu-
dent, who holds the world distance
record for gliders, with 535 miles,
which he accomplished when he
piloted his motorless croft from
Odessa to Selina. Kansas, lastgyear.
At Grand Prairie he set an unof-
1
ficial speed record for a triangular i The glider, with’ wingspread of .gelo, his goal. Once he reached thg
course of 80 miles, with a speed of over 50 feet, but weighing only 500 | North Concho Airport there, and
53 miles per-hour. I pounds, was about 2.000 feet up
In his visit to Coleman, he was when it circled the airport. Just
attempting to set a new world rec- [ after Johnson headed back, to full
ord in the “goal and return” contest.
The glider in which he was soar-
ing, the RJ5, was designed and
built by Johnson Rnd a friend, and
is recognized as being the best per-i
forming glider in the world.
Johnson left Grand Prairie at
11:06 Friday, arrived in Coleman at
2:35, circled and headed , back. It
has not been learned here whether
or not he was successful to his
record attempt. Officials who veri-
fied his arrival In Coleman were Ira
Gallaway and Nathan Cliett. A
small group was on hand at the
airport to witness the flight
view of those at the airport, he
caught uplifting currents and spir-
aled up to an estimated 4,000 feet
before heading out again.
Later in ,’e aftejmoon, a glider
landed at the' local airport. The
pilot was Dave Johnson, brother of
Dick Johnson, ’who was trying to
get to San Angelo, but just didn't
make it. His crew, following in a
car with a special trailer, pickdB up
Johnson and the glider and took
them back' to
son had tried twice to make the
flight to Goodfello*- Field, San An-
the other time he landed between
Miles and San Angelo.
As they begin their flight, the
gliders are towed to 2,000 feet, there
they cut loose and are on their
own. They must depend upon up-
drafts to maintain flight. When
they find one, up they spiral to
higher altitude, then head off in
their predetermined direction, look-
ing for another updraft.
