Houston Oilers
Defeat Dallas 14-6,
Heel Raiders Sun.
"Who said the Oilers were dead ?
After two disappointing per-
formances against Denver and Dal-
las respectively, the defending
American Football League champ-
ion Houston Oilers came to life last
Sunday in the Cotton Bowl in
Dallas to hand the Dallas Texans a
rocking 14-G setback.
The Oilers had been humiliated
$)y the Texans the week before, 31-
7 in Houston.
Now coach Pop Ivy and his Oilers
journey West to tangle with the
"winless Oakland Raiders and a
letdown could be disastrous to
Houston's bid for a third straight
Eastern Division crown and league
title.
Game time is 3:30 p.m. Houston
time, and the contest will be car-
Tied by radio on KILT in Hous-
ton and on Television by Channel
13 in Houston.
The Oilers had possibly their
finest defensive game of the season
Jast week in limiting Dallas to
only six points and holding them
scoreless for nearly 59 minutes.
OUR REDEEMER
'LUTHERAN CHURCH
Fourth and Rorem
'Rev. L. Winfield Wickham, Pastor
Next Sunday, Nov. 11th, is Vet-
erans' Day. An act of Congress in
June 1954 made it a memorial
day to commemorate all military
conflicts since 1918. It gives honor
to the some 290,000 dead and to
the more than 22,500,000 who re-
turned from those conflicts after
offering themselves for the service
of their country.
The significance of the day foi
a Christian nation is spiritual, how-
•ever. "Let every soul be subject
unto the higher powers, For there
is no power but of God: the powers
that be are ordained of God.''
Therefore, on this national holiday
Christians will attend worship in
their churches and thank God for
our country. There can be no free-
dom or peace or the pursuit of
happiness without God's will and
blessings. And a grateful people
■will acknowledge that God has be-
stowed such blessings upon us as
He has not done upon any nation
in the history of man.
They will also pray for the gov-
ernment, asking God to give the
President and all his aids wisdom
-and understanding to guide the na-
tion aright, to give them courage
to take whatever steps are neces-
sary to preserve freedom for our
country and for all those who love
freedom everyywhere.
People will unite as one person
behind a definite stand by our
President, and say and do nothing
to weaken it. This is no time to
sit back and criticize. The stand
for survival should be united down
to the last man.
As prayers must ascend to God
for our nation, so, to make it ef-
fective, there must be prayers for
our personal selves. Every person,
a part of the whole nation, should
go in complete humility to the
throne of God and confess their
sins unto God, especially those sins
of failing to acknowledge God
great love poured out upon them
through Christ Jesus. When the
individual heart is cleansed the
^blessing will rest on the commun-
ity and state and nation. "Right-
eousness exalteth a nation, but sin
is a reproach to any people." Let
us fly our flags, but let our hearts
be attuned to God. So much de-
pends on it.
At Our Redeemer Lutheran
Church next Sunday at 10:45 a.m.
the Pastor will speak on the topic:
"'Veterans' Day—A Day for Re-
turning to God". All are cordially
welcome to attend.

\id In Livestock Count
Rural mail carriers from the

livestock survey cards along their
routes beginning November 16.
"Information reported on these
cards is used to set the yearly in-
ventory of livestock and poultry
on Texas farms," Postmaster Tom
E. Friery explained.
Rural carrier distribute the cards
,at random in boxes along their
routes.
"This means that not every box
will get a card," Mr. Friery said.
"For this reason, it's important for
everyone who gets a card to return
it filled out so that USDA can get
A true sample of the State's live-
stock holdings".
Carriers assisting with the sur-
vey are: Guy W. Johnson, Route 1

Facts and figures secured in this
survey are the basis for the Texas

inventories of livestock and poultry
on farms as of the first of the year.
Stockmen and many others use this
information in making business de-
cisions.
