“Sends make the moon tain,
monaente make the year, and
trifle*, life.” Edward Young.
Assuming that we were acting
In the best interests of our read-
ers we purchased a new print-
ing press at the Dublin Pro-
gress. It was new to us, at any
rate, and so it was christened
last Wednesday night, with the
42nd. issue in the 75th, year of
printing j)f the Dublin Progress,
which issue, incidentally, is a
-rarity, as the new equipment
turned out to have a voracious
appetite for paper. After feeding
it all the newsprint in the house
we tried copy paper, wrapping
paper &nd even cardboard, and
still were unable to satiate its.
tremendous hunger, which is a
roundabout way of saving that
we ran out of papers before we
reached the newsstands. -
We named it Monstro, for
while not exactly man-eating, a
printing press does in some
way's resemble a whale. It Is
certainly a man-hour-eating, an-
imate object that, in a manner
of speaking, speaks for itself,
though we hope ours spetiks for
the people too. It 'to. likewise

and shop a new wall had been
erected betwtwsn the press room
and other equally important
areas of activity, some of which
led directly to the out of doors.
When the new press arrived it
would not go through a man
sized door, nor a double door,
nor even an elephant sized door,
and furthermore, the old press
had to go out as the new one
came in and was almost as mas-
sively proportioned as Monstro,
It ended up with the entire new
wall having to be tom down,
and this innovation took place
just as the weatherman chose
to confuse Texas with Alaska,
climatewise. ami fresh air is a
comodity that would be hard
to sell around this office these
days.
After going through the whole
football season without ever
once confusing the Sharp boys
we were shocked to see that we
called •‘Ronald" "Gary” last
week in the basketball lineup.
We can’t even find a handy
place to lay the blame for this
blooper and will just have to
chalk it up to bad spelling, and
hope for better luck next time.
Winfield Sanders is a sports-
man of some repute, favoring
the passive type of outdoor en-
tertainment such as fishing, we
have long suspected that there
hadn’t been told, but we think
Winfield has hit on a different
angle. First, he hunts a body of
water where the fish aren’t like-
ly to bite, and then if he is so
unfortunate as to get a bite he
throws the fish back in te wa-
ter so he won't have to dean it.
It might simplify matters if he
left the hook off the line, but
it would be-poor sportsmanship
he says, and without the line
and the pole it wouldn’t even be
fishing.
Getting a .picture of the new
president of the Dublin Young
Farmers rpally took some do
Ing, for while Wilbur Jurney is
not’ difficult to catch he is dif-
ficult to hold, when he finds out
he is being held for a photo-
graph. On the., other hand. Joe
Logan is ndt hard to hold at
the business side of a camera,
but is difficult to catch between
pidurcs. While waiting we dis-
cussed various uses for the all-
important newspaper and Wil-
bur (who is a reader, and there-
fore forgiven) came up with a
new one, which we do not rec-
ommend in this weather. Ills
novel idea was to stake it out in
the bean patch, to scare the
crows away.

Both boys and girls visiting
teams demonstrated that they
were well balanced and well
coached teams. The boys were
particularly impressive on both
their offensive and defensive
patterns.
Coach Eric Looney stated, aft
er Tuesday night's game, that
Granbury defeated the Lions in
Granbury an\ made it four dis-
trict wins against no defeats.
The Lions have lost two district
games and won none.
"It was another case of a
poor first quarter for our boys,”
Looney said. "We scored only 3
points while allowing Granbury
20 in the first quarter. We had
a similar game against Hucka-
bay, scoring only 4' points in the
first quarter.”
"I believe if we can break
this habit of starting slow our
boys will be lough, for anyone
in the district to handle. Wo are
looking forward to Friday when

ing we can get into the win
