A chicken house and some lum-
ber also burned. On the same
day there was a small grass fire
on Jones street. On Sunday the
department went out on the Fort
Worth highway to put out a
grass fire and found on returning
that there was a fire behind t’.—

f cerning action on the Bowie park
« ! request.
, In presenting material to the
$ Parks Board the Bowie Jaycee
< omrnjttee stressed the need for a
1 park in this area. Their infor-
. • i ination included the following:
We are enclosing two maps of
the Amun G. Carter Reservoir
Area, one map showing the im-
'j mediate area around the dam,
and the city property that was
acquired from L. O. Gandy, com-
prising 121 acres, and another
•1 I map showing the entire reservoir.
« The dam can be reached on a
hard surfaced road which will be
completed before January 1, 1957,
Farm Road No. 2094. The dam
- j is six miles from the City of Bow-
■ * it and Bowie Farm Road 2094
i joins U. S. Highway 81 and 287.
Within a seventy-five mile radius

ing to Mr. Coker. He broke the
piggie bank belonging to the
Cokers’ daughter, Barbara, and
loft the pieces on the boy’s bed.
He broke a B. B. gun belonging
to Little Johnny. He helped him-
self to half of a cuke that Mrs.
Coker had baked that morning.
A jar of grease that was in the
reft'igerator was scattered all
over the kitchen. All closets,
dresser drawers, etc., were ran-
sacked, presumably in the hopes
of finding hidden money.
It wps evident that tin- intru-
der wanted food, clothing and
money. Quite a few items of val-
ue were not touched. Sheriff J.

iPh. 1199 304 N. Mason,
McMurray lost 7 yards and then
the roof fell in on the Bowie de-
fenders. McMurray handed off to
Carlyle Strickland who drifted
behind the line of scrimmage and
threw a long pass to David White
who was behind all the Rabbit
defenders. There he went all the
way, 67 yards, for the Eagles only
score. FB Ronnie Elliot ran the
extra point.
Bowie’s second touchdown camo
with 5:02 left in the half. Don
Unger set the score up with a 16
yard scamper to the Eagle 24.
There Unger and Smith carried
the ball to the 9 where Unger
scooted across. Unger kicked the
extra point.
The play that overshadowed
the long Eagle pass was with
only one second left in the half,
Howie took over on the Eagle 27
jjard line. QB Stephens called for
a pass plnj-. Cooper faded'back,
saw all the receivers covered,
tucked the ball under his arm and
ran 27 yards untouched. Again
Don Unger kicked the extra
point.
The half time show by the
Bowie Band was one of their best.
We wish to congratulate Glenn
Cunningham and all the boys
and girls in the band for a won-
derful performance.
When the Eagles came out for
the second half it looked to many
of the fans that they had found
themselves and would give the
Rabbits a hard tussle. But the
Rabbits stopped them cold on
several drives down field then
began to click again themselves.
Unger, Cooper, Smith and Ste-
phens led the parade as the Rab-
bits carried the ball down the
field for their third score. Cooper
again showed his heels to the
Eagles and went 16 yards to
score. Unger kicked his fourth
field goal for the night.
As the game ended, Bowie’s
second string led by Wendell
Smith at QB, Danny Miller and
Johnny Reynolds at Haifa and
Louie Jackson at FB. These boys
showed that they were no slouch-
es at running and passing. Hope
to see more of them in future
Game At Burk Friday Night
To Be Feature Of District flay;
Jackrahl^ils Trounce Decatur 28-7
By GLEN I^VILSON I
The Bowie Jackrabbits will
travel to Burkburnett this Fri-
day night in the feature battle
of district 2A-9. Burk last week
drubbed Nocona 40-7 while Bow-
ie plastered Decatur 28-7. Bowie,
Burk and Olney are atop of the
district standings this week, each
winning its first district game.
The Rabbits are improving each
week they play and will give any
team in the district a tussle for
the crown. All the boys are try-
ing to win and also help each
other. As the weeks go by their
spirits seem to grow better and
better.
The coaches who scouted the
Burk-Nocona game say that
Burk has a well balanced team.
Most of the boys weigh about
the same, around 170 pounds up.
Their heavu^t man weighs a-
rouhd 20O pounds. Burk runs
from the single wing. This for-
mation should look familiar to
all Bowie fans. The Rabbits were
working a defense against this
formation Tuesday and Wednes-
day and should be able to pretty
well stbp Burk. Not going to pre-
dict the winner of the Bowie-
Burk game, you fans will just
have to follow the boys up there
and see who wins. All I can say
is just good luck to you Rabbits.
Hold The Eagles
Last week the Rabbits held
the Eagles the first quarter to 4
plays. Decatur kicked-off to Bow-
ie and the Rabbits carried the
jball to the Eagle 47 before Coop-

This information was obtained through the courtesy of
West, editorial writer of the Dallas News. You may think it strange
for a small Democrat to solicit the aid of a noted Republican as
Mr. West, but we are in worse shape now in Texas than we were
when Franklin D. Roosevelt took over in 1933. In 3 days Franklin
fixed up the banks. Of course latex he gave them ■ shot in the
belly of the small amount of between six and eight billion dollar*
that they kept and don't pay a penny of interest on but it ha* made
them strong. I have not heard of any that have busted since. The
farmers, hog men, cattle men that I have met are praying and cry-
ing for help. They believe the help must come from the Democrat
I party. You have no idea how we feel. Laying-down Lyndon ha*
left Texas. Either the bawling cows disturbed hi* sleep or he is
studying on a gas bill to get one by not only the house and senate
but the president's veto as he has had two vetoed—one by Truman
and one by Ike. Bro. Shivers is in Alaska hunting bear or looking
out for suitable place for a real estate office. (Basten will be out
in a few months.) I guess the President has been pretty sick, but
you will find the "foresaken farmer" down on hi* bed, pale and
forlorn, forsaken by the political doctors—income down 26 percent,
big business up 30 percent. Yes, he is about gone. "Sold sixteen
cows and what did he get?" Another Republican promise and
deeper in debt.

The maps show in “red” the
contours marking the regular
spillway level, and in blue the
contours showing the emergency
spilliAsy level. The land compris-
18ut\ surface acres and 20,000
acre feet- of water. Drainage area
is 110 square miles. The shore
line on city property is approxi-
mately 4miles. Freeze and
Nichols, consulting engineers,
who /engineered the lake, have
the following to say of the fluc-
tuation of the water level to be
expected: “Our evaporation rate
here averages 60 inches per year.
Normal consumption of water for
the City of Bowie is 400 acre feet
per year.” Therefore in normal
years the fluctuation in the lake
should be less than ten feet.
The vegetation on the city
lands is open land, with some
pecan trees and native oak. The
principal drainage area-for the
lake is pasture land, which
should make the lake water clear
most of the time.
The present plan is to permit
fishing and bathing in the lake,
bathing to be permitted only at
ii distance of one-half mile from
the pick-up for the city water
, which is marked in red pencil on
the enclosed map.
This lake is located in beauti-
ful hill country, well wooded
with native pecan, elm, and oak,
and blackberry, and abounding
j m deer, wild turkey, and other
wfld life.
