and interest —and this year s stag-
ing was unquestionably best of all.
The clever stage setting, with its
background of purple cellophane
streamers, surmounted by a field of
stars, and with ornamental columns
at either side of the stage, set
off the ceremonies to exceptional
advantage. And none who ever
graced the throne was more queen-
ly or gracious than was Queen Vera
of the House of Tomlinson.
* * *
A big "Handie,” too, goes to F. M.
(Buck) Richards and Alf Reeves,
those veterans of McCullochland,
who headed the Jubilee parade;
riding their mounts like centaurs of
old. Nothing could have been more
fitting. Mr. Richards donated to
the citizens of Brady and McCul-
loch county the beautiful park
wherein are staged all the activi-
ties about which the Jubilee is cen-
tered, and Mr. Reeves just natur-
ally belongs in any picture emble-
matic of the hospitality for which
Brady and the Jubilee has become
famous.

NEXT WE SALUTE the Brady
I Municipal Band, looking like
the proverbial “Million Dollars” in
their natty, spanking new uniforms
of purple and gold. Brady’s band
is a real asset; it has always been
so. And that this fact is generally
realized is evidenced by the willing-
ness of the citizens to back up the
move sponsored by the Brady Lions
Club to provide the band with uni-
forms in keeping with the excel-
lence of their service to Brady up-
on any and all public occasions.
* * *
Nor can we deny a hand—and a
big hand at that—for the Coleman
High School Band, one of the nifti-
est musical aggregations that ever
trod a parade ground in the Heart
o’ Texas, or that made a gala oc-
casion even more gala because of
their stirring music. It is not dif-
ficult to see why the Coleman
Band received first award and the
designation of the official band of
the West Texas Chamber of Com-
merce—it is just such a band as is
truly representative and one of
which all West Texas may well be
proih ...
T LT GENERAL CHAIRMAN G.
• C. Kirk take a bow, and with
him each and every member of
the Jubilee Committees, both spe-
cific and general. Theirs has
been a big task, well performed-
this year just as it has each year
for the past dozen years. Unques-
tionably the committees perform
their several tasks well, faithfully
and efficiently, else they could not,
year after year attract attendance
at the Jubilee such as is at once
the pride and the despair of every
other community celebration in
West Texas.
* * *
Just to be candid, folks like to
come to Brady. They find here that
free and easy hospitality for which
West Texas has long been famed;
which has, in fact, all but become
legendary. Folks who gather in
Brady for the Jubilee are never
strangers—they are friends, spon-
taneously so. Everyone has a
smile, a cheery word and a friend-
ly greeting for everyone else.
And now a hand to Dick Dyer,
Brady’s premier chef, who never
fails to “bear down” on his job
with all his 350-pounds of weight.
Dick and his helpers fixed up a
"son-of-a-gun" of a barbecue for
the Jubilee officials, the commit-
tee members and notables last
Thursday night. And everyone will
have to admit that Dick just sim-
ply radiated geniality thruout the
serving of the supper.
BRADY’S JULY JUBILEE has
D grown into a giant organiza-
tion. It takes, a lot of the old
dinero to operate—and the only
source of income is from sale of
concessions and from sale of ad-
missions and reserved seats to the
races. Should storm, flood or oth-
er disaster overtake the celebra-
tion, the organization would be in
for a sizeable loss. So our next
"Handie” is proffered the “guar-
antors” of the Jubilee—the one
hundred or so business men and
citizens who have each year signed
a guarantee to protect the Jubilee
from loss. So far, the Fates have
favored them—never has a guaran-
tor been called upon to make good
•0 much as a penny's deficit—each
year the Jubilee has not only paid
an’t -menses, but it has put a tidy
su: 1 the sinking and improve-
metht funds. . -
How about a Handie for Perly
Samuelson, loud speaker at the
race tracks. And when Perly an-
nounced, “Everyone who wants to
stand up at the rail must SIT
DOWN!” he was handie-ing it out
himself! ...
Asked one of the cold drink ven-
dors, as he piled his bucket high
with iced bottles, if sales were go-
ing good. “Oh, boy,” he replied.
That was an answer.
The Carnival is all spic and span
in new paint, new attractions and
renewed interest among young

The man had good luck in catch-
