swimming just for fun, too.

A sure “first” will be the

the new Iron Wheel Mesa base
camp has been built just for
this long-term program. At Iron

will use Iron Wheel Lodge, a
most attractive, circular structure
of native stone, for their program
activities and meals.
Horseback Riding
Much emphasis wall be placed
i the study of horsemanship,
with horseback riding a special
feature. During their stay, Scouts

7th Grade Conference Plans
I Jack M. Smith, president of
' Football United National, Inc.,
announced this week that plans
to inaugurate a “7t.h Grade”
conference at F.U.N. stadium in
1962 have been abandoned.
Previously announced plans
were to establish a special “se-
venth grade” conference for boys
who are under thirteen years of
age and have graduated from
elementary school into the sev-
enth grade.
“The board of directors of F.
U.N. were forced to take this
action because of the great ex-
pansion of the elementary
schools already in the F.U.N.
district.” Smith said, “at least
two new elementary schools will
be opened by fall and all nine
schools now in the conference
will field more players in 1962
than any previous year.” Also
in 1962 more games will be sche-
duled for the elementar yschools
bringing to a maximum the

I played at F.U.N. in a single sea-
son.
Mr. Smith said, “there is a
definite need in this area, and
across the nation as well, for sev-
enth grade footbal conferences.
Perhaps some day this need will
be filled, we at F.U.N. hope to
start such a program as soon as
it is physically possible. But, in
the meantime, we feel our first
obligation is to the elementary
childre nwith whom we have
worked since the inception of
our organization six years ago.”
In the 1962 F.U.N. Conference
some 750 boys from a dozen
school areas will play 72 foot-
ball games at F.U.N. stadium.
Spectator attendance is expected
to exceed % million this year
according to F.U.N. officials.
Football United National, Inc.
is a private, non-profit corpora-
tion with its national headquar-
ters at F.U.N. Stadium, 6400
Richmond Road, just a mile west
of Bellaire city limits.
Its president and board of di-
rectors are volunteer business
men who donate their time and
efforts to its operation.
F.U N. stadium boasts a stand-
ard N.C.A.A. football playing
field, an automatic electric score
board, lights, a public address
system, telephones on the field,
a sound - proof press box and
seating capacity for 3218 spec-
tators. It is often filled to stand-
ing room only during the season,
officials say.

HOUSTON TbwT: Waggoner Carr...
is by far the abler and better qual-
ified of the two men seeking the
party’s nomination for attorney
general.
DALLAS NEWS: His knowledge of
Texas statutes, his integrity and
dedication to states’ rights, his past
performance in law enforcement
eminently qualify him for attorney
general of Texas.
SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS: On the
basis of his experience and his rec-
ord in public life, we endorse his
candidacy for attorney general.
LUFKIN DAILY NEWS: For fifteen
years he has been an outstanding
attorney, and is well qualified from
that standpoint to be the people's
attorney of Texas.
ABILENE REPORTER NEWS: Carr is
well qualified by education, legal
knowledge, political experience,
character and temperament to make
an outstanding attorney general.
VICTORIA ADVOCATE: None before
him has been better qualified to
serve the people of Texas in this
high office.
