Dragons Rap Ralls; Now
In Second Place Position
By outscoring the Ralls Rab-
bits, 13 to 6, in a District 4-A
Conference game played at Ralls
last Friday night the Paducah
Dragons are now in second place,
in 4-A standing, due to the fact
Spur and Floydada are tied for
first honors.
The Dragons have won three
games and lost one in conference
play, this season and have three
games left on the ’46 schedule
and by the way—two of the re-
maining tilts will be played on
the home-field—so the Dragons
have an excellent chance' of!
finishing second, and could tie for
top honors.
In the game with Ralls, Joe
Edd Sandlin, Evers, Beck Rochelle
and Harrison sparkled for the
Dragons, and Heathington stood-
out for the Ralls “11”. Paducah
received the opening kick-off and
in ten plays had sacked, away
six points, with Sandlin setting-
up the ball in scoring position.
Beck drove over from the three
yard line for the tally.
Ralls recovered ' a Dragon
fumble on the Paducah twelve-
yard line and Heathington scor-
ed for the Rabbits. At the half
the score stood at 6-6.
The third quarter was score-
less, however one touchdown for
the Dragons was called-baek, on
a clipping penalty.
In the fourth quarter, Joe Edd
Sandlin, driving, slashing, with
mighty end-sweeps worked the
pigskin down to the Ralls one
yard-line, and then hit pay-dirt
for the pay-off. The extra point
was good, and the final whistle
saw the Dragons on top by the
score of 13-6.
Tomorrow evening the Dragons
will fight it out with Petersburg
at 7:30, on the local gridiron—
Ithen on November 15 they will
journey to Spur to tangle with
the high-stepping, hard-charging,
mighty, Bulldogs. The tussle with
Spur should be one of many
thrills as the Bulldogs will be
fighting to establish a beach-head
for conference honors; on Novem-
ber 28, Thanksgiving Day the
Matador, Matadors will invade
this city for a Turkey-Day tilt
to try to trip the top-ranking
Dragons.
Paducah could take the next
three games, but whether they
do or they don’t—the Dragons
now stand with three conference
games in the bag—and that rec-
ord is outstanding in comparison
with the past few years. Last
year the Dragons won only one
game and tied one.
Coach “Stormy” Davis has done
a wonderful job in whipping in-
to shape, a club who at the be-
ginning of the current season
was green and inexperienced.
As the result of last week-end
play the District 4-A Conference
Standing is found below:

of Childress, Cottle & Collings-
worth will close on November 4,
4946 J. B. Johnson, Chairman of
the local board announced today.
“This step marks the conclusion
of almost five years of unpre-
cedented patriotic service by Vol-
unteer Citizens of this area who,
through their thousands of hours
of volunteer work, have prevent-
ed inflationary dangers from
taking effect and saw their neigh-
bors had an equal right to their
fair share of scarce commodities
during the days of rationing,”
says Mr. Johnson.
“Members of Childress Area’s
Price Control Board stayed on
the job for more than a year
after the end of the war. Produc-
tion has had a: chance to catch
up with demand. Now that Presi-
dent Truman has announced the
program for accelerating the re-
maining wartime controls, Price
Adminiistrator Paul A. Porter
has determined that the remain-
ing functions of local boards can
be continued by the District OPA
Office at Fort Worth.”
Mr. Johnson gave the follow-
ing information as to the conduct-
ing of OPA Business in the fu-
ture:
1. Trade and consumer inquires
about price control formerly han-
dled by Price Control Boards
should be addressed to the OPA
District Office in Fort Worth,
2. Certificates of Transfer-
covering sales of used passenger
automobiles may be obtained from
principal auto dealers. Regional
Mail Center at Dallas, Texas.
3. Sugar rationing has been
administered from the District
Office since last January. In the
future, sugar forms required by
the trade and consumers may be
obtained from the District Of-
fice.
4. Pending compliance actions
by the board will be transferred
to the District Office.
5. The local board office will be
closed for the transaction of
public business on November 4.
However, the paid clerical per-
sonnel will continue on duty dur-
ing the month of November in
order to transfer records to the
District Office and to perform
the many other duties involved
in closing the board.
As in the past, supervision of
rent control will ibe administered
by the Childress Area Rent Of-
fice.

well-done. It is nice to be home,
ib-ut. I do miss the Army.”

All 3 Amendments Carry
COLD, RAINY
WEATHER SLOWS
HARVESTING
Cold, rainy weather the first
of this week slowed harvesting
of crons to almost a standstill in
Cottle*County. Until the Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday rain, cot-
ton had begun to move at a fail-
pace, but it appears now that it
will be several days before cot-
ton pulling is in full swing again.
The coal snap which hit Sun-
day, accompanied by 27-100 of
an inch of rain, and dropping
the thermometer into the higher
thirties, sent residents digging
out heavier clothing. A light
trace of moisture fell Monday
and on Wednesday 82-100 of
rain, accompanied by some sleet
was recorded.
Snows ranging from four to
six inches in depth fell in the
upper Panhandle earlier in the
week.

Attending Northwest
Texas Methodist
Conference At Pampa

Appointments for charges will

Mr. and Mrs. Boyd Loar, and
Mr. and Mrs. Bert Loar were in
Amarillo Friday afternoon to at-
tend funeral services for C. W.
Furr, one of Amarillo’s most be-
loved business men and civic lead-
ers. Mr. Furr is a brother of Mrs.
Bert Loar of Chalk and is an
uncle of Boyd Loar of this city.
Rites for the widely known
grocery operator, who launched
the system of Furr Food Stores
from a modest beginning in 1907
in the small town of Kirkland,
was held from the Polk Street
Methodist Church, directed by Dr.
Neal D. Cannon, his pastor. Inter-
ment was made in Llano ceme-
tery with (Blackburn Funeral
Home in charge. An Amarillo
newspaper had the following to
say in regard to the passing of
Mr. Furr:
“One of the Panhandle’s most
substantial business men, Mr.
Furr was widely know as a lead-
er in church and civic affairs,
and all endeavors pertaining to
community welfare, and was rec-
ognized throughout this region
as a man who was loyal to the
Panhandle, its institutions and
its people.
“In 1907, Mr. Furr began build-
ing what has now become a large
chain of modern grocery stores
serving the Panhandle. At that
time he established the Kirkland
Mercantile company in Kirkland,
Texas, near Childress, where he
and Mrs. Furr had moved from
McKinney, Texas. Some eighteen
years later Mr. Furr took the
step which put him in the chain
grocery business.
“A member and vice-president
of the board of Stewards of the
Polk Street Methodist Church,
Mr. Furr took an active part in
church activities and affairs—
Quite and unassuming, never
wanting publicity he devoted much
of his time to charitable works.”

We “dood it”. In last week’s
yre-game football predictions in-
volving the local team and mem-
bers of the South-west Confer-
ence, we hit the “jack-pot”. Be-
lieve it or not we did not miss a
single guess. Out of 35 pre-game
guesses this season we have pick-
ed the winners 27 times and
missed 8. This is the way we see
it for the coming weekend: Pa-
ducah over Petersburg by four
touchdowns; SMU over A&M;
Rice over Arkansas; Texas over
Baylor. (PS: Mr. “Hoss” Curry

Let’s hope this is not so. Mr.
Sarnoff, president of the Radio
Corporation of America says it is
possible that some day man may
control the weather. Yep, be-
lieve it or not the weather would
be controlled by a push but-
ton—one for sunshine—one for
rain, another with moderate winds
with partly cloudy weather and
others for snow, fog, frost, etc.
Since the biggest topic for con-
versation 'today1 is about the
weather, or predicting the weath-
er—what would happen when we
greeted “Bill” or “Jane” on the
way to the office to open our con-
versation. We couldn’t say “Think
it will rain today? or it sure was
hot yesterday wasn’t it, or sure
is dry—because Bill or Jane by
pushing the button would have
taken care of that situation. Then
suppose we tell Junior he had ibet-
ter wear his coat to school and
he had better wear his rubbers
it may rain—and dear little Jun-
ior walks over to the panel of
buttons which operate the weather
and pushes the dry, warm weather
button—then there’s no chance
to continue a good hot argument
with Junior. Suppose we wanted
to go out and shoot a round or
two of golf and the “Better Half
isn’t in accord—she would dash
to the panel and push a “Cold
Blizzard ^Button.”—No, controll-
