W. G. Webb
Resigns From
School Board
ROBERT E. NAIL NAMED
TRUSTEE BY BOARD
W. G. Webb, president of the
Albany Independent School dis-
trict board of trustee-, recently
'pre-ented hi- resignation to the
! board, which ha been accepted,
effective December 1. His place
mi the board w.ll lie filled by Rob-
ert 1-i. Nail, Jr., who was appoint
I i'd by the hoard to serve Mr.
Webb's term.
Merrick Davis, who has been a
member of the board of trustees
since April 3, 1!'33, was elected
president to succeed Mr. Webb.
Mr. Davis' 14 years of service,
together with his business ability,
make him ideally fitted to serve
a.s the board's leader.
Bob Nail was a member of the
1925 class of Albany high school,
and is a graduate of Princeton. He
is a playwright and producer of
considerable fame, and served as
an instructor in the Albany high
school in 1938-39. His interest in
the school and in working with
the young people of the commun-
ity, makes his selection as a board
member a very happy one.
Mr. Nail's father, the late R. K.
Nail, served as a board member
from May 11, 1912, to February
5, 1923, and during his tenure of
office the local school was accred-
ited with the State University.
Mr. Nail, who is at present pre-
paring for the Christmas Pageant
and heading the Camp Fire coun-
cil, was discharged lust spring
from the army, where he rose from
private to the rank of captain.
Elected in 1909
The resignation of Mr. Webb
is a loss to the school and com-
munity. He is indeed a veteran in
school work, having been first
elected trustee Nov. 0, 1909, and
was immediately made treasurer.
He took the place of Henry Her-
ron, who resigned. Mr. W ebb
served until May fi, 1915.
He wa.- elected a member of the
board again April (>, 193a, and
served as secretary of the board
until April <>, 193fi, when he was
made president, and he ha- head-
ed the school board since.
During his last term of service,
the school has added 300 square
miles of area to the district, in-
cluding the districts of Ibex, fort
Griffin, Huskey, Diller, and Post
Oak.

Local Boy Gets
"Shanghaied"
Derrel! Bandell, senior in Al-
bany hifh school, had a terrifying
exp' : ence last Thursday night
when he wa- "Shanghaied" and
took a ride in a box car to Stam-
ford.
Derrell wa- on hi way to the
po t office about lihiO p. in., walk-
ing down the railroad tracks ju.-t
back of IJu Webb Motor <'0. He
pa. i d ome box cars, and some-
one in one of the car readied out
and picked Derrell up anil pulled
hiin into the box car. They wrest
led briefly, when Derrell was
-truck on the head, possibly by a
-andbag, and knocked uncon-cious.
He regained con ciousness later
that night at Stamford, -till in the
box car. Hi pur e had been rilled,
hut he still had his watch. He
got in touch with his father who,
with Deputy Sheriff Lee Donhain,
went to Stamford after Derrell.
No trace of the person who
pulled Derrell into the box car has
been found.
Derrell is none the worse for his
experience, but he gives wide berth
to all open box cars.
Lions Finish
Foatball Season
The Albany Lions, after a very
hard season, have laid aside their
ideated shoes and padded suits,
and are enjoying a few days free
of the rigors of training. Coaches
Wilson and B ebersteiti took a very-
light and inexperienced team
| through the . 0,1-011 w ith some out-
tanding team a opponents, and
the Lion- howed fight and im-
provement all the way. They
were bottom in the.r district, but
are looking forward to 1 947, when
roach Wil on will be able to put
ome boy - with more weight and
1 another year of experience on the
field.
The I.ions ended their season at
Throckmorton last Friday when
the Greyhounds beat them 27-0.
The team wa.- accompanied by the
pep squad and band, together with
local fans.
Reports from the game are to
the effect that the Albany lad-
turned in a good game to end the
season. They proved aggressive,
hut their drives were not sustain-
ed long enough to score, although
a holding penalty prevented them
make one counter
To Lou Four Men
Coach Wilson has only four sen-
ior- on hi- team this year, which
means that his entire line will re-
turn intact in 1947, with Ronnie
Miller, probably the outstanding
half back thi- year, who can run,
pas and kick, back in the back
field. Smith, Smalley, Jumper and
Carlile, who -aw considerable -erv-
ice in the back field thi- year, are
the senior members of the team.

New Welfare Worker
For Shackelford
James C. Wood is the new field
worker for the State Department
of Public Welfare in Shackelford
and Throckmorton counties. Mr.
Wood makes Albany his headquar-
ters, with office in the Masonic
building.
Intake day in Albany is the
fir-t Monday in each month, from
s a. m. to o p. m. Mr. Wood will
be in Throckmorton each third
Monday.
Old people of Shackelford
county who find it more conveni-
ent to go to Throckmorton to see
the field worker, may do so, and
Throckmorton county people liv-
ing near the county line may find
it convenient to see Mr. Wood in
Albany, which is permissible.
The local Welfare office admin-
isters three programs: Old age as-
sistance, aid to needy blind, and
aid to dependent children where
they have lost the support finan-
cially of either father or mother.
Notice, G.I.'s
In a recent communication from
the Texas Land Office, I have
been advised by the Land Com-
missioner that the recent amend-
ment to the Constitution providing
for the sale of land to G.I.'s, that
the amendment was not self enact-
ed, and that it will be necessary
for the ,r>0th legislature, convening
in January, to pa.-- enabling legis-
lation outlining the duties, the
policies and the procedure of the
board and it- operation. 1'ntil this
hue been done the veteran's land
bill will have no opportunity to
j purcha-e surplus federal lands or
| to provide methods of sale.
When this has been done it will
be the policy of the hoard to move
toward consummation of the pro-
i gram a- rapidly a possible, in or-
der to ave time, and to be as in-
formative at the same time as pos-
sible. It will be to the advantage
of the G.I. to register with this
office that his name may be 'for-
warded to the Land Office, if he is
interested in the purchase of land;
-ii that when future nformation
available, it can be dispatched
directly to him.
The Land Commissioner plans
to follow his original suggestion
to the legi hit lire that some
10,000 tracts of land be put up at
the first sale; that purchase be
made on a competitive, sealed bid,
ha is; that purchaser be permitted
Four More Solos
At G. I. School

s, an4
•e well
W. M. Womack, operator an4
instructor at Lone Star AviatiotL
Taylor Field, reports that he ana
his instructor, Bob Bowlin, hav#
soloed four more students the pad
two weeks, bringing the total of
solos to eight. He now has mor
than 20 taking instructions,
some of the first to solo are
on their way toward private
licenses.
Those to solo since our last re-
port are Bay ford Lawrence, Leon
Myers, Kdgar Myers and Jo*
Cauble.
Mr. Womack expects to begin A
new group of trainees within the
next few days, and hopes to hav*
saveral more ex-servicemen come
out and train. The flying course
is given ex-servicemen free of
cost through the G. I. Bill.
Francis Taylor, owner of the
field, has completed the concrete
floor in the 40x80 foot hangar,
and has the foundation down for
the new class room, which is to
be 12x20 feet, built of hollow tile,
located south of the office build-
ing.
The school has added two planea
this week, a PT-19, 165 h.p. army
primary flight trainer, and a side-
by-side Taylorcraft.
Lights have been received for
night flying, and as soon as stu-
dents are advanced far enough,
they will begin their night flying.
Latest pilot to get private
license is Raymond Taylor. Bob
Chism of Seymour, former in-
structor here, carve down Friday
to give Raymond his check, which
he passed nicely.
