Rep. Olin E. “Tiger” Teague,
(Dem.) of Texas, chairman of the
House Committee on Veterarss
Afrair's, yesterday was named
the first “Man of the Year” by
the National Association of State
Directors of Vets Affairs' in St.
Petersburg Beach, Fla.
Presentation of the award was
made at a luncheon at the Co-
lonial Inn.
Teague was selected in rec-
ognition of his contribution to
veterans- during 18 years as a
congressman.
He was cited as the author
of more veterans legislation
than, any other man. A veteran
of World War II, Teague was
a patient for two years in a
U. S. Army Hospital, recovering
from wounds received while
leading an infantry battalion in
Europe.
In his acceptance speech,
Teague predicted that the vet-
eran’s pension bill, recently
passed by the U. S. House of
as to both restaurant and motel,
excellent. And the fine way in
which owners and staff deal with
the public also is to be commend-
ed.”
Jack McKay, Chamber of Com-
merce manager, said:
“This is a wonderful installa-
tion—which helps the whole
community. We are proud of
Dorothy and Billy (Munn) for
building such a fine facility.
They like to make people hap-
py—and this is certainly a fine
step in that direction.”
The toastmaster asked for re-
marks from Mr. and Mrs. Munn,
the proprietors. They pointed
out that they were delighted
with the response to their new
business and stated that they
felt that it will aid in real unity

Tex. Schoolboy
Grid Is Getting
Season Going
Brownwood crushed Stephen-
ville 34-6 in a significant game
opening the Texas schoolboy
football campaign last night. It
showed that Brownwood
thoroughly deserved a rating of
third in Class 3-A behind Pharr-
San Juan-Alamo and Palestine—
which didn’t play. Stephenville
was supposed to be a rugged
test for Brownwood. It had been
rated in the top six itself. Rock-
wall—the fending champion of
Class 2-A—flung another mighty
challenge as it rolled over well-
rated Grapevine 34-0. It was
Rockwall's 14th straight victory.
Albany, one of the favorites of
Class I-A—didn't do so well in
its start. It lost 20-15 to Class- 2-
A Olney. This, however, did not
indicate that the Lions will be
weak in their own class.
