WHERE DISCIPLINE IS NEEDED
Hie following Item appeared in the Dallaa Times Herald a few
days ago under heading: "Unwelcome Oator Ouest Crashes Back-
yard Party.” _ _
• Watering the lawn has Its hazards these days, Mrs. J. C.
Sanderson, 3922 S. Marsalis, agrees.
•Mrs. Sanderson was peacefully watering shrubs *ln her
back yard Thursday when a baby alligator about 17 inches long
crawled out to greet her.
• A Fourth of July barbecue party the Sandersons
were having with some friends quickly broke up after
somebody mentioned that the baby alligator's ‘Mama'
might be somewhere in the shrubbery. No more 'gators
were found, however.
"Mrs. Sanderson’s son, Clark, It, saved the day. He grabbed
a fish net and captured tho vtlllan, put It In a coop, and the

we had a rather exciting 4th of July right at home"

Puppies invariably make a mess of homes—until they are
sternly disciplined and taught to be clean and decent members
of the family
One wishes that similar discipline could be imposed
cn the "Litterbugs” who strew discarded paper, beer
cans, empty bottles and all manner of nibish and dirt
along the highways, in recreation areas, and in beauty
spots throughout the nation.
The Jitterbugs have the crude manners of untrained puppies
—without any of the puppies' excuses. ' * -

Arthur McGirk of Austin made his first visit to the Eagle
office in 50 years one day last week. He is the son of late Mr.
and Mrs. M McGirk. He moved away from here in 1908
In relating some of his experiences here he disclos-
ed that at one time during 190& he set type with Lida
Thompson Byrnes at the printing shop where the Harry
Allen tin shop is now located. He related that he built
the building and rented it to the printing company who
published a church paper for several years.

Who is the lucky guy who can come to town and report to
his fishing friends that he caught two one and one-half pound
bass on one lure? That ts something of a record indeed-land-
ing two bass of that size at the same time. We are looking for
the guy who set that record to get full Information—and maybe
a bit of evidence in the form of you-know-what.

APATHY AND POLIO
We Americans were generous when we contributed millions
of dollars to fight paralytic polio.
We were triumphant when, after years of research, our
scientists developed a vaccine against it and the number of
cases dropped 47 per cent last year.
Now we are shocked to hear that, according to a recent esti-
mate, 58 million Americans under 40 who should get this simple,
effective protection have negelected to do so.
What is the word for this neglect? Polio authorities, like
the National Foundation for infantile Paralysis, call It apathy.
The dictionary defines, apathy as "lack of Intelfest" or “Indif-
ference.”
But can anybody afford to be indifferent about polio? When
"it strikes it leaves ruin In its wake—crippled bodies, disrupted
homes, wage-earners unable to go on with their chosen work.
Indifference In the face of this kind of risk Is folly. Better
roll up your sleeve and vaccinate before It's too late!

_ Seems that we are haying a hard time this year peeping
up with results of games played by Little League, Pony League
and the Pee Wee baseball teams of the county.
We have tried for several weeks to get records and it de
velopes that records apparently aren’t being kept up as the sea-
son Is progressing.
Little League President L. J. Ward has been work-
ing on the project and from all indication* there are too
many games going on and for sonar reason, or other, so
far this season record books ate not complete.
It takes a lot of score keeping to record everything when
games are going on three and four nights a week.
