GRIFFIN STAGES ONE-CENT
SALE BEGINNING NEXT WEEK
The Bowie Jackrabbits win
meet the Newcastle Bobcats at 3
p.m. this afternoon in what may
prove to be the deciding game in
the' District 11-A championship’
race. Both teams have not met
defeat this year although Bowie
i was tied by Archer City, a non-
conference opponent, in the open-
ing game of the season.
The game will be attended
a large delegation from Bowie.
Plans are being made for a cara-
van of 100 cars. Sixty-eight cars
had been pledged to go Thursday
afternoon and many others who
were known to be going were not
included in this list.
The cars will meet at the High
School building at noon and will
leave for Newcastle as soon there-
after as possible.
The Jackrabbits are favored by
many sports writers of the dis-
trict to win the tussle this after-
noon due to their strong passing
attack and stonewall line defense.
Newcastle’s 37 to 13 win over No-
cona last Friday was evidence at
their strength and made them the
only probable contender for the
district crown that has a chance
against t/e strong Bowie squad.
The Rabbits took Henrietta apart
67 to 6 Friday afternoon running
the total points scored against
opponents this season to 1ST.
Only 12 points have been scared
against them all season.

A public hearing on the pro-
posed $10,000 issue of interest-
bearing Waterworks Improve-
i?, bent and Waterworks Extension
dBrrants will be held November
'^Hst 7:30 p.m. at the City office,
it was announced today. A reso-
lution announcing intention of is-
suing the Warrants was adopted
at the regular meeting of the City
Council Tuesday night. The
warrants will be issued to meet
the expense incurred in building
the spillway completed last weelc
at Lake Bowie to replace the one
destroyed by an overflow some
weeks ago. The money accruing
from the sale of the warrants can
not be used for any other pur-
pose Mayor J. C. McNatt said and
only so much as is needed to
cover this expense will be used.
The warrants will draw inter-
est not to exceed five per cent
and will bear a maximum 'mar
•- turity date of not later, than tert
years. They will mature se ’ ’
ly in installments fixed by
council.
The State Soail Conservation
Board has advised County Agent,
Arvle Elliott that the election m
the proposed Upper Elm-Red Soil
Conservation District will be held
on Saturday December 14.
The election date was first set
on October 19, 1940, but., was
moved up to December 7, This
date, however, conflicted with
Marketing Quota elections, and it
was thought advisable to move
the date up one week.
The State Board, and the Mon-
tague County committee on Soil
Conservation are agreed that the
major problem in connection
with a district election is to get
the landlords acquainted with the
•details of the program, and to
vofe in these elections.
After,the election, the land-!
owners themselves will control
the affairs of the district. “It is |
a true democratic way to handle i
our soil conservation problems ”
Mr. Elliott said.--------------■--
