as to the probable starting date
for construction on the Waxaha-

beginning of construction would
be very difficult to predict at
this time; however we are pleas-

preparation of right of way data
and actual purchase of right of

Engineer in Dallas informs us
that field parties will move in
around the first of March to

Frigid Arctic air is flowing
across the state following the
wild seige of storms in East Tex-

The mercury plunged to nine
degrees at Dalhart around dawn.

from Eastern Nebraska to upper

Blowing snow with winds to 40

is one of these,” said Mr. Bar-

worked on this sizable project.
Teenagers, both white and

sideration shortly.
If approved, the Youth Code

I DO THE VERY BEST I can—the very best I know how,

“The adults, young people
and intermediates will be study-
ing a book found in the Old
Testament of the Bible — Deu-
teronomy. It is felt that the Lord
Jesus Christ quoted more from
this particular book than from
all the other Scriptures,” the
pastor said. This Bible study will
be led by the pastor, the Rev.
Carl E. Bilderback.
The junior age—9 to 12 year-
olds, will be taught by Mrs. P. J.
Gregory. They will be studying
the subject “Before Jesus
Came.”
The primary children will be
led by Mrs. J. N. Jordan Jr. and
her helpers. „
Mrs. Marvin Hosek wil be in
charge of the beginner children.
The nursery will be open to
children 3 years old and under.
“Every one is cordially invit-
ed to attend any session of the
study. Those desiring credit,
through the Southern Baptist
Study Course Plan, will need to
attend each session or answer
the questions for the sessions
missed.”
Mr. Smith’s address and color-
ed slides concerned the munici-
pal government and institutions
and their facilities and he gave
a rapid-fire narrative as the
slides, nearly 200 in all, hit the
screen. He was introduced by
Judge C. W. Duke, who explain-
ed that it would be “a tour of
the city.” The meetings, as usual,
was held at the Community Cen-
ter.
The city manager explained
that he felt the program would
be of interest. “as the city gov-
ernment affects all of the people
every day.”
Mr. Smith also pointed out
that “the city is growing fast-
er than, I’m sure, you realize”—
and some of the scenes develop-
ed this fact, business and institu-
tional wise, as well as residen-
• tial.
He took up the various depart-
ments that serve the citizenry
and gave pertinent photos and
spent considerable time on that
modern million dollar property,
Ennis Municipal Hospital.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
“He'll is paved with good
Mr. Smith emphasized that the
city scene is mostly good but
that, of course, there are some
problems — and showed some
ramshackle places, along with
their discards, to illustrate. It
is the hope of the city that these
situations will be eliminated.
Judge Duke’s movie was made
up of barbecue and parade
scenes, back in the late fifties,
with the homefolk happy and
either parading or eating, and at
times doing a bit of “hamming”
for the camera. Len Gehrig, for-
mer mayor, all duded out in the
years-ago film, gave an especial-
ly sharp performance, including
an elaborate hat-tipping flourish.
The Kiwanians, in a brief
business session, on motion of
Mayor C. W. McCaskill voted a
contribution of $25 toward beau-
tification of the Cerf Medallion
Home, sponsored by the Ennis
Heritage Foundation.
The club voted, as in the past,
to sponsor one boy of the group
from here to go to Boys State of
the American Legion in June,
having received a letter from
Col. O. H. Lumpkin about this
project.
Guests for the meeting includ-
ed Mrs. Harry J. Stone, with
Mr. Stone, and Bill Wymond of
Dallas, with Garner Dunkerley I
Jr.
The banquet was attended by
175 persons — club members,
their ladies and other guests, at
the Valentine-season occasion,
honoring the wives. President C.
O. (Skip) Onstead was master of
ceremonies and the Rev. Lively
Brown, pastor of the First Met-
