Hundreds Attend
Barbecue at Moran
Between 1,200 and 1,500 people
attended the barbecue at Moran
Friday evening, which was held to
celebrate the completion of the
new concrete bridge across Deep
Creek west of Moran. The barbe-
cue was given at the bridge, where
four goats and two beeves were
barbecued. Other edibles were
served with the barbecue, provided
by the merchants of Moran.
The meal was served at 7:00
o'clock, followed by a program,
with Karl Wallace of Fort Worth,
district Wl'A administrator, as the
principal speaker. Judge Homer
T. Bouldin was master of cere-
monies.
People from all parts of Shack-
elford county, and from adjoining
counties were present for the bar-
becue. A large number of Albany
people attended.
The bridge west of Moran was
started in 1939 as a Wl'A project,
and replaces an old steel and plank
structure that served the people
living on the Moran Baird road for
many years. The new bridge was
designed by Fred Buford, Abilene
architect.
The News is asked to extend
thanks to the Wl'A and Moran
Luncheon club committees who
planned the barbecue under Com
missioner H. C. Knight. Thanks
are also extended to C. B. Snyder,
L. A. Waters, Floyd C. Pool, and
Samuel Diller for donations of an-
imals for the barbecue.

the local ballot, with -tate candid-
ate bringing the total up to prob
ably the largest in -everal year
It is expected that more than
2,000 Shackelford county people
will vote Saturday, as some of the
county and district races are creat-
ing much interest. State candid-
ates have thus far caused little
interest in this county.
One of the most interesting
races, for local people, will be the
Congressional race, in which I'hos.
L. Wanton is making a very active
campaign to regain his old post.
There are five in this race.
The county judge race i, open
this year, as Homer T. Bouldin,
present incumbent, did not make
the race this year. Shackelford
county people seem to prefer three
gubernatorial candidates this year,
O'Daniel, Mines and Thompson.
Little comment is heard on the
other races, although many are in-
terested in the race for Chief Jus-
tice of the Supreme Court, as
Judge James I'. Alexander, broth-
er of F. W. Alexander of Albany,
and who is well known here, is
one of the leading candidates.
Shackelford county people will
vote in ten boxes this year. A new
box in Albany will divide the city.
Those living west and north of the
highway are to vote at the old
Ben Franklin store building while
residents living east and -outh of
the highway will ca.-t their ballot-
at the court house.

World War soldier and member of
the Reserve Corps, startled a large
crowd here Tuesday evening when
he graphically related America's
lack of preparedness ill event of
war. Not only was American lack-
ing in war materials, Col. Perkin*
said, but we have done away with
discipline for our youth, and instill-
ed into them pacificism that placet
our country in a difficult position.
The mass meeting was held in
the football stadium, where a loud
speaking system had been set up
by John King so that all could
hear the message of the speaker.

most of the members knew as much
as he did about the action of the
convention in selecting President
Roosevelt as nominee for a third
term, and the selection of Secre-
tary Wallace for vice-presid -tit,
and dealt ill
way on the sidelights of the con
vention. lie stated that the Texas
delegates arrived in Chicago Sun-

went into a conclave to select com-
