in which a young man joins the
ranks of the clergy. Then fol-
lowed the four orders of porter,
lector, exorcist and acolyte.
Though in the present discipline
of the Church, the functions of
these orders are exercised ei-t

conferred in an impressive cere
mony.
Pat will return to his studies

girl, if she does not usually
live at Crowell, may draw $5

The school will run for three
/ears, each course taking 44

be done in the local hospital,
if it is approved, for the pro-

needed for the course will be
provided and paid for by the
school. The actual classroom

cated.
Paducah’s title-seeking Dra-
gons will test their strength
against the Matadors, when they
clash on Dragon Field Friday
night.
Workouts have been going on
for a month and two scrimmage
games — Wellington here and
Spur there, have shown up the
weak and strong points on the
Dragon squad.
45 boys reported for prac-
tice at the first of school, and
things look pretty good. Only
seven seniors graduated from
the squad last spring, so Pa-
ducah has an experienced cen-
ter of operations to start with.
Coaching trio G. W. Maxfield
Dub Johnston and Bill Alexander
have worked with the boys in
morning and evening workouts.
Returning players from last
year’s squad are: Dick Bates,

Saturday In Car Accident
A former Paducah man,
Leonard Vernice Vaughn, 20,
and a Pampa man, Willie Har-
per, Jr. were killed Saturday
morning in a car accident on
US 287 about four miles north
of Estelline.
The men were traveling south
or and failed to make a curve
running off the roadway. Both
men were thrown from the
vehicle and killed instantly,
according to the Texas Highway
Patrol.
Vaughn, the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Nathaniel Vaughn, Dunbar,
Paducah, was born January 25,
1046, in Sulphur Springs, Texas.
The family moved to Paducah
in 1960 and he was a student at
Dunbar school. He was on his
way home to Paducah when the
accident occurred.
Funeral services were held in
Antioch Baptist Church in
Paducah, with Rev. Eli Cooper
officiating. Burial was in Gar-
den of Memories under the dir-
ection of Norris Funeral Home.

Labor Day almost turned into
a tragedy for W. I. (Bill) Davis
of Delwin, when he fell down into
a cistern on his farm. Quick
On Friday, August 26, at St. action by his wife and the
Lucian’s Chapel in Amarillo, Paducah fire department was
the Most Reverend Lawrence credited with getting him out.
M. De Falco, bishop of Ama- Davis, who farms in the
rillo, conferred minor orders Delwin community, saidhis cis-
tern had caught full of water
with all the heavy rain they had
received lately, but as cisterns
sometimes will, it cracked or
burst, and all the water leaked
out. Thinking to clean it out
and repair and plaster it while
it was dry, he was letting him-
self down on a rope into the well; this does not mean anything de-
he doesn’t remember what finite, yet, but things look pretty
favorable and we have high
hopes of the* grant being app-
roved.”
Lester Moss, president of the
Cottle-King County Insect
Control Association, reports
that they are stepping up their
spray program in the two-
county area, since the wet
weather and sticky hot days have
really begun to increase the
boll-worm and weevil popula-
tion.
The spraying now being done
every 5 days. Last week app-
roximately 8,000 acres in the
area were sprayed .. this being
the seventh spraying since the
program began this year.
Four planes, two each belong-
ing to Prater Flying Service and
Fell Flying Service are used for
the spraying.
Moss said, “Farmers should
really be keeping a close watch
on their fields now, and if En-
tomology service is needed,
please make a request for it.
We have it available and that’s
what we are here for.
Also farmers should turn in
their spraying needs, acres and
money at the Insect Control
office in the Heafly Building. If
you turn in your entomology re-
quest there too, or see me per-
sonally, we will try to tend to
it immediately.”
