Points Told Club
By Local Coach
Members of the Breckinridge
Lions Club heard from Coach
Truett Holland Friday noon points
concerning the coaching school re-
cently conducted in Dallas and at-
tended by about 2,000 coaches.
Introduced by Bill Creagh, Coach
Holland stated that while a pur-
pose of the school is to hear lec-
tures on several phases of football
and other sports, in reality the
| coaches get about as much in-
j formation mingling and talking
with each other as they get from
the prescribed courses. It is a
J coaches clinic.
1 A phase of the purpose of the
school seldom heard, is its contri-
] butim: to needy or injured players.
I Coach Holland told of one case of
a football player severely injured
i who has been materially aided fi-
I nacially.
Much publicity has been given
'Coaches Wilkerson, of Oklahoma,
Wyatt of Tennessee, and Jackson
of ACC, who lectured the state
ment of Wilkerson that a player
must first be good on defense be-
j fore being consideration being giv-
en special emphasis Holland said.
: He added that the lecturers will
' talk freely of any play they have
! used.
Coach Holland explained that del-
egates to a meeting to be held in
. December will discuss rule changes ....

period ending at 6:30 this morning i
was I '« inches at Nell, west of

Yesterday's maximums ranged

Children Over
18 And Disabled
Get SS Checks
Some disabled children over age
18 received monthly social security
checks in February, according to
C. M. Vaden, Jr. field representa-
tive of the Abilene Social Security
Office. Recent legislation provided
for these payments to start for the
month of January 1957. A number
of applications have already been
filed, and more are being received.
Under the new provisions, chil-
dren who are disabled may receive
social security benefits after they
reach the age 18, if they were
disabled before the age 18, are
unmarried and dependent upon a
deceased insured parent. The term
"parent" includes natural parent,
and in many cases, step parent or
adopting parent.
It is not necessary that the child
himself have any record of work
under the social security law to be
eligible for benefits as a disabled
child. However, he must have a dis-
ability severe enough to prevent
him from engaging in any sub-
stantial gainful activity. The dis-
ability must be medically determin-
able.
Disabled children over 18 who
believe they qualify or persons car
ing for them, should inquire regard-
ing benefits by writing the Social
Security Administration. P. O. Box
1.641, Abilene, Texas Vaden advised.

N. S. Holland, brother of Mrs. j
C. B. Newby of Breckenridge, and
formerly superintendent of schools
here died early this morning in
Dallas .a telegram received by Mr.
and Mrs. Newby revealed.
Mr. Holland, known to many j
hi re as Nick Holland, died 'follow-
ing a heart attack about two weeks

(loose ("reek as school superintend-
ent arid after a few years there,
went to Dallas where he operated
a book store. He was succeeded
here as superintendent by John F.
riatiev, also retired.
Mr. Holland during the number
: of years he served here was great-
ly interested in football, and at one
time proved so lucky in calling
I coin flips to decide where a game
! would be played after conference
play, that he gained the nickname
t/i" "Flip" Holland.
While serving in Breckenridge,
Dr. Holland secured his doctor's
degree from Columbia University.

The Community Chest directors
voted to ask the Breckenridge
American to conduct a poll of the
community whether there should
be one drive or six separate drives.
The directors of the Chest expres-
sed the opinion that the decision
should not be theirs, but the com-
munity's. They resolved that "the
basis for democracy is voting and
the privilege . I.' selecting public
representatives, or a way of life,
is the heritage and strength of a
nation, state and community and
that a vote of the citizens of the
community should express the de-
sired route to take."
For several years there has been
an increasing number of new chari-
table drives placed before the citi-
zens of the community. They start
in January and continue into No-
vember. This continuous "driving"
has promoted many individuals of
Breckenridge and Stephens County
to ask. "why can't all these drives
be combined into one?"
Proponents iff a united system
say they are constantly plagued
and harassed by solicitors of the
many organizations seeking funds.
They feel that much overlapping
of effort can be reduced. Many go
so far as to say they would be
inclined to give more if called upon
only once a year.
Opponents of such a system say
that the budget would he so, high

It is the duty and choice of each
giver in the community to decide
how he or she wants to give; to
mark his or her gift as a generous
one, or to some specific charity;
to assume our obligation to char-
ity as we may see 'fit it, was said.
If a majority of the people of
this community say there will be
six separate charitable drives
spread out through the year, then
it shall continue as in the past. If
the majority votes for one concen-
trated single drive for till charities,
then there will be a United Fund
Organization established to pro-
mote one drive each year for all
charitable organizations seeking
funds from this community.

of Breckenridge to express their wishes by ballot on whether all
drives this year shall be included in one drive, the United Fund, or
whether as in the past there shall be six or more drives, one for the ,

TELESCOPE MADE HERE MAKES
PRINT CLEAR 8 MILES AWAY
By MERLE MATTLOCK
(AMERICAN STAFF)
Would you like to be able to
read the print on a golf hall eight
miles away? If you'll set up the
ball, there's a man in town with
just what you'll need. He is the
city's foremost astronomer, Paul
R. Hudlow of the Bell Telephone
Company, who has recently com-
pleted his latest telescope. The tele-
scope, a 10'' which is best for ob-
serving the moon and plants, is
located at the observatory built by
Mr. Hudlow at his home at 1004
N. Liveoak. The observatory is
a building 12 feet by 12 feet with
the telescope tube being 10 feet
long and thus leaving ample room
for observation. Mr. Hudlow uses
a roiloff roof type A-\{, which is
ideal for amatures.
A twenty year veteran of tele-
scope building, Mr. Hudlow started
his first telescope in 1937 although
he admits it wasn't quite as good
as the other three he has made. His
present one is one of the few per-
fect lens in existence and is the re-
sult of about $1000 investment and
many hours of work.
Building Cost $500
The building itself cost about
$500 and the rest was spent on the
scope. The lens gives a perfect im-
age with fine detail and is the same
type that used in the McDonald Ob-
servatory. 4th largest in the world
at 8-'! inches.
One inch magnification is the
general rule, Mr. Hudlow said, and
Imine has 115 inches or 115 power
! with a one-inch eyepiece. "1 use
a half inch eyepiece, however,"
. he said, "increasing the magnifi-
cation to 230 power." 1 also use
an Erfle eyepiece and a Barlow
giving 720 power, Mr. Hudlow add-

Back Home From
County 4-H Camp
Forty-eight 4-H boys and girls
and twelve adults returned from
the annual Stephens County 4-H
camp at the Northwest Lodge of
Community Public Service Co. on
Possum Kingdom Thursday after-
noon.
The two day camp was planned
to develop leadership and offer
opportunities of study in safety,
records, cra'fts and wildlife.
Roger Broyles and Judy Lewis
gave instruction in water safety,
artificial respiration, and snake-
bite first aid.
Gwenna Lee Keith. Nancy Brown
and Botindee Lenoir conducted the
crafts work. Spatter painting and
clothes brushes were made by the
campers.
Dixie Anderson and Barbara Ki-
le 11 held workshops on keeping
good 4-H records.
David Kuperman, Wanda Lewis
and Dale Keith conducted work-
shops on wildlife, discussing types
of wildlife demonstrations and
wildlife records.
Co-chairmen for the camp were
Dixie Anderson and Roger Broyles.
Council chairman Judy Lewis pre-
sided at the general assemblies on
Wednesday.
The success o'f the camp can
greatly be contributed to the adult
leaders who performed the many
necessary chores around the lodge.
These leaders included Mr. and
Mrs. Tom B. Lenoir. Mr. and Mrs.
Jesse Garrett, Mr. and Mrs. Paul
Roberts, Mrs. H. L. Clements, Mrs.
M. F. Davis, and Mrs. Jack Gres-
sett. Ben McKennis, of the Texas
Electric Service Co., was in charge
of the swimming activities. Addi-
tional supplies were transported by
boat to the camp by Joe Hulin and
Don Peaks. Visitors to the annual
outing included J. G. Simmons,

The floor has a five inch floor of
reinforced concrete.
The telescope is a Newtonian
type with a modified Springfield
equatorial mounting' and 14" bear-
ings.
Ten Inch Is Best
The ten inch lens size is best
Mr. Hudlow says because that size
cuts out atmospheric dust and uses
the best available light. The scopes
built by Mr. Hudlow range from
a 4" to a L21 -" and the present
one gives the best image. The lens
itself is made of pirex and is at
least 1/3 the diameter thick. The
grinding tool used to form the lens
is made of plate glass and is of
convex curvature forming a con
cave lens. Fight grades of powder
are used as to lens is ground to
proper contour.
A flour like powder called Barna-
site is used to accomplish the final
polishing of the lens by marking
off the lens in one inch squares
with 1/4" channels between the
squares. The lens is shaped to
a parabola which shapes the light
to a perfect point and requires
about 20 hours of polishing to ac-
quire. Mr. Hudlow added.
Mr. Hudlow has sold the other
telescopes he made to either Uni-
versities or individuals.
