TRIFLES
Jay Cuter said that the Ro-
tary dob spelled down the loot-
ball {toys in a runaway match
Monday night at the Public
Schools Week Opep House, leav-
ing four Rotarians standing un-
opposed when the whistle blew
on the final round. Jay said the
‘four, Charlie Foust, Dewey Ra-
ley, Coy Perry and Joe Hender-
son, could spell every word in
the book, and the football boys
weren't too/cut up about their
defeat. Those rascals could spell
down anybody, he said.
With the three-day measles
making the rounds and knocking
the average daily attendance
into a cocked hat there were
probably more people at school
by night than by day on Mon-
day. Sue Jumey was a charm-
ing hostess in the third grade
room, explaining every exhibit,
including her own, which was
neatly arranged with all A-plus
papers on top. After all, who
would be nosey enough to look
underneath to see if it was that
way all the way through?
Over in the Ag building shop
we saw a gun rack made
Jimmy DeWeese that could hold
its own with pride in any cabi-
net sliop. But we didn’t see any
creep-feeders o r de-homing
gates or corn bins and wonder-
ed if agriculture might be get-
ting over-domesticated along
with everything else these days.
Or maybe they just don’t use
those things any more.

Candidates Run
For Trustee Election
* Clyde Leslie of Santa Barbara,
Calif., renewed his subscription
to the Dublin Progress for an-
other year and told us to men-
tion some of the old-timers --
people who’ve lived in Dublin
40 years or more. Perhaps he
doesn’t realize that that is not
an easy line to draw, though we
have been told that a surefire
way is to ask a person if he re-
members Mae West. If he re-
calls the actress he is over 40,
and if he recalls a life-preserver
he is not.
Nobody could tell by looking
at Walter Hamilton that he is
a day over forty; so, when his
old friends see his picture in the
paper they probably think he is
somebody else. The Frank Ham-
iltons and the Walker Whitfields
have grandchildren, and natu-
rally any time we interview
them we just get news of the
grandchildren, but then, when
their old friends read about
them, they probably think they
are not old enough to have such
interesting grandchilrden. Tom
Sparks is not dated by progeny,
and he still wields the sharpest
scissors in town. So with some
trepidation we approach hijm on
the subject of 40 years ago. Sur-
prisingly, he readily admitted
to remembering gay times back
then. Some people don’t seem
to take advantage of an easy
way out when they have one
ready made.
Growth and progress -are al-
ways welcome In Dublin, but
only recently did we find out
the real reason for the building
expansion project at the Dublin
National Bank. It seems they
are drilling an oil well out cm
the Carr place at Bunyan, and
Bill Carr and Oleta Carlin , have
decided between them that the
extra space will be needed when
the well comes in to hold all
the money it brings.
Our youngest, who has optim-
istically been expecting to break
out with the three-day measles
everyday this week, has now
pessimistically given in to the
notion that he will fall ill cm
Friday, a school holiday. This
would allow for an ample recu-
peration period by Monday
morning, and would therefore
be the most ill-fated piece of
timing, he thinks, since the
year Christmas fell on Sunday.
Seven candidates have an-
nounced for the trustee election
as of 12 noon March 4, to fill
