"Sands make the mountain,
moments make the year, and
trifles, life.** Edward Young
Except lor the superstitious,
Friday is an excellent day to
begin the new year- The long
weekend makes it handy for the
travel-minded, and the N e w
Year's Day bowl game classics
won't have to be held at the
first of the week, which always
seems a little improper.
This New Year's day * plan
to write out my resolutions, and
if l don't promise to keep them,
at least it will give me some-
thing to aim at.
Jack Henderson is the only
person I ever heard of who
kept his New Year's resolutions
all year long. Last year he told
Bill Williamson he had made
two; to save money, and stay
out of jewelry stores. Bill testi-
fies that he kept the second, and
therefore assumes that, as a na-
tural sequence, he was able to
keep the first.
Paramount on my list of reso-
lutions will be thoughtfulness of
others. For instance, I intend to
purchase and install a new rib-
bon on my typewriter. Olene
Mathis says it Is like reading
Braille to try to decipher what
1 type as the ribbon is so old
nothing shows on the page but
the indentations, which have to
be felt out.
Under thoughtfulness of oth-
ers 1 also plan to work on my
telephone manners. It is a bad
thing to call people on the
phone and, when they answer,
forget to say who is calling.
But it is far worse to answer
the phone and forget where you
are- Henry’s friends experience
emotions ranging from mild ir-
ritation to shock wlien they try
to call him at home and I in-
sist. ever so sweetly, fhat they
have reached the Dublin Prog-
ress Office. Similarly, it can be
very frustrating when someone
phones in to report a news item
and 1 tell her she is connected
with our Purves homestead.
Out of consideration for oth-
ers I resolve to try on my
Christmas presents next year
before I return them to the
store for exchange. Mildred
Landreth was charmingly polite
while re-wrapping the same
moccasins Bill gave me for
Christmas, after carefully ex-
plaining to me that it was the
size of the shoe that counted,
rather than the size written on
the box; nevertheless, 1 can't
help feeling that the little epi-
sode did nothing to add .delight
to her Monday.
»■*'? Consideration for Dick
prompts me to resolve to put
away the Christmas decorations
someplace where he can get
them out next year without the
use of a wrecking bar. I don’t
remember why It seemed prac-
tical to me to build that shelf
under the Christmas boxes last
year, but they were almost Ir-
retrievable.
Lastly, in this category, out
of thoughtfulness for my whole
family I will write down where
I hide the presents next year.
Our tree was held up two hours
while I hunted for two vitally
Important gifts that were hid-
den in the clothes hamper.
I am not so stupid as to re-
solve to keep up with my bank
balance, but the scare I got
Monday should teach me to ex-
ercise reasonable caution. No
line had formed behind me at
the bank, and Oleta Carlin and
. I were just exchanging a few
innocent remarks about holiday
foods when Jill Granberry said
that Lusk Randalls wanted to
speak to me. With the Com-
munity Chest Drive over, I
could only think that he intend-
ed to ask me to turn in my
check book. I approached the
executive’s desk, wondering why
he didn’t put down the news-
paper that covered his face,
then as I came closer, even
though I was seeing red with
anxiety, It became evident that
it wasn’t the banker’s gray
flannels and oxfords below that
newspaper but somebody elses
blue Levi’s and brogans. Proxi-
mity revealed a familiar form,
and sure enough, it turned out
to be Henry seated in the execu-
tive's chair. Lusk had conve-
niently gone to lunch when
Henry ran out of dimes and
dropped in at the bank to bor-
row the phone. He didn’t prose-
cute, but he didn’t extend my
credit either.

The sale of tickets to the foot-

wishing to purchase tickets is April of 1962- He and his wife,
urged to do so before that, Susan, have both been associ-
time. Tickets are now on sale ated with the Tulia public
at ^1.50 per plate at Hender- schools since that time.
Clayton Keller, formerly of
Dublin, and brother of Lawrence
Keller here and Erath County
Attorney Edwin Keller of Ste-
phenville, has resigned his post
as tax assessor-collector for the
Tulia Public School system to
accept a similar position with
the city of Tulia.
His resignation will be effec-
tive January 1.
“Keller has done an outstand-
ing job and we certainly regret
losing him,” said Dr. John D.
Damron, superintendent of
schools.
Keller was tax assessor-c o 1-
86 and tied nine — one of
most impressive records in
Southwest.
Other high school posts for
Gilstrap were at Wharton and
Cleburne. He had junior college
jobs at Paris, Schreiner, and
came to Arlington State in 1953-
Since ’53 Chena’s Rebel teams
have posted a 79-37-3 record. As
a senior college under Gilstrap,
ASC is dead even at 28-28-1.
High point of Gilstrap’s ca-
reer at ASC came in 1956 and
1957 when the Rebels, then a
junior colege team, won con-
secutive victories in the Junior
Rose Bowl at Pasadena, Califor-
nia. No other Texas team has
ever won in the Pasadena game.
The ’57 Rebels finished the sea-
son 114).
During his junior col lege ^col-
lege coaching days, Gilstrap
was named Texas Jueo Coach
of the Year four times by the
Texas Sports Writers Associa-
tion.
In 1959, the Rebels moved up
to senior college status and
promptly won four and lost
three. The 1960 season was the
best as a senior college with a
9-2 record. The 1961 record was
7-3 and Gilstrap was named the
Southwest's Small College Coach
of the Year.
Highly respected by his fellow
coaches, Gilstrap has served
many times as lecturer at the
Texas High School Coaches As-
sociations giant summer school.
He has also been instructor in
clinics sponsored by the Ameri-
can Football Coaches Associa-
tion.
Supersonic Training Flights By
SAC To Fly Near Dublin
OFFUTT AFB, NEB. Super-
sonic training flights by Strateg-
ic Air Command B-58 Hustler
bombers will be flown January
1 - March 31, 1965 along a route
from a point 20 miles southeast
of Paducah, Texas, over Austin
and ending near Shiner, Texas.
Flights along the route may
occur daily, but normally will
not be scheduled between -10
p.m. and 7 a.m.
Scoring equipment at the Air
Force radar bomb scoring site
at Bergstrom Air Force Base
near Austin will determine the
accuracy of simulated bomb
drops through the use of radio
and radar signal^ No bombs
are caried on these taining
missions.
The bombers will fly at super-
sonic speeds up to March 2 (1,-
300 m p.h.) at altitudes above
35,000 feet. t
Training corridors for the SAC
bombers are rotated periodical-
ly because ealistic training
benefits diminish when crews
become familiar with the land
marks, simulated target com-
plexes and other identifying
characteristics of a particular
area.
One of the features of the B-
58, the free world's fastest
bomber, is its ability to substain
supersonic speed over substan-
tial distances while approaching
and leaving its target. This cap-
ability enhances crew surviv-
al and assures a high probabili-
ty of mission succees despite
strong enemy defensive mea-
sures normally expected over a
target.
A costly supersonic bomber is
of little value in combat if the
crew cannot use its full capa-
bilities because of inadequate
prior training. Consequently,
these aircraft must fly at high
speeds, creating sonic booms
along the route. Because of the
high altitudes, the booms are
comparatively weak in strength-
Although sometimes startling
or distracting in their sudden-
ness, the booms will in no cir-
cumstances cause personal in-
