parts of 43 counties.
More than 80 applications from
farmers and ranchers have been ap-
proved. and water facilities are be-
ing constructed on approximately
22,000 acres.
In addition to this work, these

and for livestock, and the repair-

Eli R. Need, the first farmer to
receive assistance at Abilene under
the water facilities program, had
been driving his dairy herd one
mile to water. This problem was
solved by Mr. Need when he re-

given autoists. Among the com-
plaints listed were reckless driv-

and running stop signs. Some auto*
ists were warned that repetition
of offenses will result in tickets
being given them.
City Marshal J. C. Myrick is de-
termined that lives and property
of citizens must be protected a-
gainst those who carelessly or wil-
fully violate rules of safety, and
again warns all autoists to in-
form themselves upon local traf-
fic rules and regulations, and then
abide by the same.
Parents are also warned to in*
struct their children to observe
rules when riding bicycles; to keep
to the right, and to avoid weaving
in and out of traffic. There is lit-
tle the officers can do with the
bicyclist who disregards traffic
rules; after all, they say, it is up
to the parents to give the chil-
dren proper instruction.
