not turning into fish, which is
what any good self-respecting
worm was bom to do.
Jack and Lois Noel went fish-
ing down at Proctor and stayed
out long enough to get well
blistered. Jack caught buckets
full of big black bass, but noth-
ing would bite Lois’ hook except
carp. She kept throwing them
back and changing sides of the
boat with Jack and having
worse luck anyway until finally
one little fellow tugged at her
line that bore the marks of two
previous catches. She threw him
back too, but not before ad-
monishing him that if he couldn’t
grow up at least learn from
experience and stop biting on
every hook he sees. After all,
who did he think he was, Tuna
fish Charley?
★ ★
But the best fish story we’ve
heard happened to the E. C.
Stratton family Saturday night
at Proctor. TTiey were sailing
along, not having bad luck, but
taking things easy, too, because
they were out for d frolic as
Well as fish, wttw^uddenly a
five pound bass jumped into the
boat with them, flopping his
fins as if in salute and seeming
very happy about the whole
thing until he realized he was
out of his native atmosphere.
Montez Watson, who was telling
the story, £ai(F the Strattons
could not figure out how it hap-
pened. If they could, they would
patent the method under the
trade name of "How To Build A
Better Fish Trap.”
A few citizens interested in the
opportunity of getting Proctor
water piped to Dublin were dis-
cussing the majjec down at the
bank after hours one day this
week when T. C. Granberry ask-
ed Grady Swindle if he would
like- a cup of coffee, a cold drink,
or something. Quick on the up-
take, Grady said he would have
a little of the something, please,
whereupon the banker promptly
handed him a drink of water. It
doesn’t always pay to be too
clever around bankers.

Good news about Proctor
water is that it is soft. When we
get it we won’t have lime and
mineral deposits corroding our
hot water heatbrs, evaporative
coolers and washing machines
and discoloring our plumbing
fixtures. S6ft water will save us
lots of soap and scrubbing and
bubble bath addicts will be in
paradise.

We noticed that Walter Hamil-
ton was wearing a-Future Farm-
ers of America pen in his chat
lapel, which he sdid was award-
ed to him at the annual banquet
in 1940. We thought that was
quite a compliment to pay to
the FFA, and asked why he still
wore it. He said he was proud of
it. . %

Needless to say a project of this nature is very expensive The
use of this water will necessitate the increase of water rates to the
consumer of from 50% to 65% plus a .25 (twenty five cent) month-
ly increase in sewer charges. Below you will see a few rate com-

Your city Council realizes that this is a lot of money, and we
feel that this is too big a dicision for us to make alone—hence
the election of May 16.
The Cities of De Leon, and Comanche are voting on this issue the
same day as Dublin. Hamilton has already accepted the proposal,
and will be drinking Proctor -water this summer. De Leon has had
some water rationing over the past few summers, and Comanche
has rationing and some pretty foul tasting water Hamilton
has been in bad shape at times. It has been a long time since Dublin
has been very short on water. We still have a good supply, although
we may run a little low if we have an extended dry spell this sum-
mer. We do not want to allow ourselves to get in the shape of these
above mentioned towns-
When you go to the poles on the 16th please consider the issue
very careftilly and keep the long range outlook for the City in
mind, just as your council is trying to do.

Reading Is The Key
To Better Living
Anne Morrow Lindbergh calls
her new' book, "Dearly Beloved,”
reflections in a fictional frame.
In many respects it is a contin-
uation of her earlier book, "Gift
from the Sea.” in which she re-
flects on the meaning and pur-
pose of lile from a woman’s
.point of view.
Mrs. Lindbergh entered the
active world of her husiband
when they were married in 1929.
She accompanied him on many
of his flights, and her experienc-
es on these flights resulted in
the writing of her first books.
“Dearly Beloved” fits its nar-
rative into the framework of a
June wedding, as Sally marries
Mark "in the 'sight of God and
the face of this company.” The
ceremony is a peak from which
the onlookers survey not just
this couple, this occasion, but
their own lives and hopes and
fears.
Mrs. Lindbergh has always
alternated writing with action,
not only on flying trips but in
raising, a family of five children
and setting up homes in various ,
parts of the world. She. has liv-
