a contract with you. This plant
is designed to treat 4,000,000
gallons per day. Did you know
^ that the average daily yield of
our 25% of Bardwell Reservoir
is only 2.1 million gallons per
day? This plant can, during
short peak periods treat as much
was 6,000,000-gallons per day or
nearly three times our average
daily yield.
"This same plant can, at a
minimum of expense be enlarg-
ed to 13,000,000 gallons per
day, and at peak demands treat
much more or nearly 20,000,000
gallons per day. The entire safe
yield of 9600-acre feet annually
computes to an average of only
a little over 8% million gallons
per day. Thus you can see that
we have the capability of treat-
ing not only our water re-
quirements but those for the
entire area, even including those
of Waxahachie if they so desire.
“The purpose of all these re-
marks is to support our request
for a committment from you for
additional water from Bardwell
* Reservoir for the future of En-
nis and the Ennis area. You
have offered to enter into a con-
tract with us for additional 20%
of the safe yield, thus giving up
.45%. This same offer you have
made to Waxahachie and
you would the nretain the other
10%. Our reason for being here
today is to request that we be
offered a contract for an addi-
tional 30% thus making our
share 55% of the safe yield. In
other words that the TRA not
retain the 10% according to
your usual policy but make it
available to the City of Ennis
and the Ennis area. Our reasons
to again briefly summarize, are:
1—That the intention was or-
iginally that Ennis needed and
required the larger share of
Bardwell Reservoir in order to
e bring into balance the entire
water resources available to
Ennis and Waxahachie.
'2—That the needs of the re-
servoir area are being met by
the City of Ennis and the need
for TRA to retain 10% for this
purpose does not exist.
• 3—That we have the treat-
ment facilities to handle the
presently available yield and
can easily expand these facili-
ties to treat ecen more than
55% of the total yield.
4—And finally that the citi-
zens and leaders of Ennis have
worked long and hard for Bard-
well Reservoir, have always sup-
ported the TRA in its endeavor
ported the TRA in its endeav-
ors an dfeel that such efforts
should be rewarded by a slight-
ly larger share of
Reservoir.
“Thank you very much
Bardwell
for
your interest and attention. Your
favorable action on our request
will be greatly appreciated by
all our citizens and panticu-
farly by our delegation in at-
tendance here today.”

Crusade Training Meet, Film Showing
portance of early diagnosis in
the cure of cancer.
With a number of Volunteer

the Sam Houston School Gym,
followed by an open showing of

Texans In
Sports
By HAROLD V. RATLIFF
A. P. Sports Writer
In the golden twenties of
sport there was the Oil Belt—
a district of the Texas Inter-
scholastic League that included
oil towns like Ranger, Cisco,
Breckenridge and Eastland.
That was in the days when
there was no transfer rule and
the most important rules to
meet were the age limit (of 20
years) and the resident rule. The
latter required that a player
must live where his parents re-
side as of Sept. 1.
It was difficult to establish
ages since there were few birth
certificates filed and the “ear-
liest documentary” evidence was
used. The family Bible might
even be changed.
It was not hard to enforce the
resident rule but the absence of
a transfer rule only made' the
resident clause to the advantage
of the schools. Ambitions
coaches just recruited players
and moved their families in.
Once a sports writer, Boyce
House, picked the entire Cisco
team on his all-state. He pointed
out that only one player was ac-
tually from Cisco and the others
came from other towns. “This
represents the state more than
any team I can find,” quipped
House.
Those people who have clam-
ored for a rule that would cir-
cumvent the transfer rule and al-
low a boy, whose parents had
moved into a Texas town, to be-
come eligible immediately just
can’t realize how much trouble
it might bring.
Of course, the people wanting
to change the rule, were talking
about so-called hardship cases,
such as the son of a service man
who has moved or the son of a
minister, who was transferred.
But this is only a small part of
the picture and eliminating the
transfer rule would lead to a
situation tantamount to the old
Oil Belt.
Interscholastic League offi-
cials said that even in the so-
called hardship cases, there
could be skul-duggery in the

Dr. James R. Jeter, upon in-
vitation from the East Ellis Unit,
was present for the film showing
and to answer questions from the
audience following the. film. The
responsive audience asked the
physician numerous questions
which he graciously answered,
emphasizing further the impor-
tance of early detection in the
cure of cancer.
Don Walker, president of the
East Ellis County Unit, presided
at both meetings. He introduced
Ronald Burns of Dallas, execu-
tive director of District 14, ACS,
who conducted the Training
Meeting and, of course, Dr.
Jeter, at the open showing of the
film that followed.
-rush to get the good athletes.
All this prefaces a case of re-
cruiting as reported by a Texas
superintendent.
He wrote the League that a
New Mexico town had attempted
to recruit two athletes through
the process of giving their step-
father a job in a service station
paying $100 a week.
The superintendent added
that the offer included a sixroom
house will all bills paid, a job
for the mother of the boys and
also an agreement to pay back
rent and utilities owed by the
step-father and mother.
The superintendent said the
first person to make contact
represented himself as a coach
of the New. Mexico school, the
next was a man identifying him-
self as a school board member,
and finally a truck and trailer
showed up and the driver said
he had been hired by a service
station to move the family.
The story further related that
the boys accompanied their par-
ents to the New Mexico town but
returned and the step-father
said he would come and get
them later. The boys had been
promised jobs and “anything
else they needed” by coaches
from the New Mexico town, said
the Texas superintendent.
Rhea Williams, athletic direc-
tor of the Interscholastic League,
said his organization could do
nothing about it since no Texas
school was involved but that
New Mexico’s interscholastic
league had been informed.
“New Mexico has no transfer
rule but it does have one
against recruiting,” said Wil-
liams. “But recruiting has to be
proved for any action. This may
be a difficult thing to do.”
Anyway, it illustrates the im-
portance of a transfer rule.
