that Pope Paul will deliver his

A proposal to set athletic

Her ef-inteut agreement with the
big eight conference.
The big eight has a one-year
limit on scholarships and wants
the Southwest Conference to
have one so that recruiting can
be better equalized.
The conference may also take
action in the NCAA-AAU dispute
over control of amateur athletics
in the nation. It favored the
NCAA in a resolution passed
years ago.
Whether there will be .any
action on a limit of the number
of athletic scholarships that can
be issued in football was not re-
vealed. The Big Eight has a limit
of 35 coming in in 1965. The
Southwest has an agreement
among the schools that there
be no more than 100 in football
and 20 in basketball.

The Ellis-Prairie Soil Conser-
vation District has progressively
moved forward since its organi-
zation in August, 1940.
The main reason for the pro-
gress made in the field of Soil
and Water Conservation is due
to the fact that landowners and
operators have realized the
necessity of planning and apply-
ing the right combination of
conservation practices on their
farms, it has been explained.
The district believes in the
use of each acre of land for that
which it is best adapted, and the
treatment of each acre according
to its needs for its protection
and improvement.
The Ellis-Prairie District is
comprised of approximately 636,-
272 acres in 3.610 farms. It is
locally organized and an operat-
ed subdivision of the State of
Texas. Its operation and admin-
istration are the responsibility
of five supervisors who are
elected for a term of five years,
with an election held in one of
the supervisors zones each year.
The supervisors of the district
presently are: Miles Hastings,
chairman, Waxahachie; Weldon
T. Blair, vice-chairman, Itasca;
Marvin Borders, secretary, Waxa-
hachie; W. J. Hamm, member,
Red Oak; and Ernest Haskovec,
member, Ennis.
District accomplishments of
conservation practices for 1964
are as follow:
Terraces, parallel, 210,276
feet.
Terraces, gradient, 130,099
feet.
Waterways, 138 acres.
Ponds, 143.
Pasture planting, 8,532 acres.
Contour farming, 62,834 acres.
Basic conservation plans, 154.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
“People come in three, classes:
the few who make things hap-
pen, the many who watch things
happen, and the overwhelming
+ majority who have no idea what
L happened.”
$*******.
A concerted effort has been
exerted in the direction of filling
the pews here in Ennis Sunday,
in this season of the anniver-
sary. of the Nativity. Will you
be there? . . . Our community
is fortunate to have able and
dedicated preachers and inspir-
ing sermons, with soul-lifting
music, too . . . Your attendance
will be greatly appreciated by
the churches—and you’ll find it
most worth while!

Twelve rooms in the Sunnland

them were demolished.
