Specialty Shop Style
Show Spotlights New
Things For Fall
The Specialty Shop was the scene
of the Fall style show on Tuesday
ufternoon, with Bouniu Donovan
commentatinsr.
Whatever the occasion, whatever
the college, Specialty Shop combined
with Mrs. Donivan’s talents and her
exclusive line of fashions to he worn
on any and every campus this fall
was most interesting and beautiful.
Mrs. Trent Nabours and her little
daughter, Jane started the colorful
parade of finery dressed in typical
Texas cow boy regalia, down to the
minute detail of clinking spurs.
Then came the parade of cordu-
roys in flaming reds to warm depth-
ed ruby, greens from the emerald
to the muted tones of martin’s olive;
rich dark colors and the forest shades
of brown to paler shades are dstiu-
ed to predominate the season 1849 and
1950. Straight green or erd cordu-
roy skirts and jackets, the ever pop-
ular collegiate’s favorite to serve a
double duty purpose worn with white
or colored shirts.
The eye-catching team in a clever
color-fabric combination of nonsag
jersey, cottons and bold colors of
sash trim is a perennial “must” on
any college girl’s shopping list. Also
shown in corduroy were four piece
suits, including slacks.
Black will dominate the dinner
hour shown in slim fluttering lines
and overall slinderizing effect. Shown
for the college girl to be worn at
twilight of evening were a gorgeous
array of Carole Kings Junior frocks
made up in velveteens, irridescent
taffetas and dreamy satins.
In these exclusive lines were shown

tucks and un-pressed pleats to team

SPECIAL TRAIN TAKES
LOCAL UNIT TO CAMP
By LLOYD ALBERTSON
“You’ve never had it bo good.”
That old wartime Army phrase
could be dusted off and used to des-
cribe the somewhat roundabout trip
which Battery C and other units of
649th Anti-aircraft Artillery Battal-
ion made by special train from
Temple through West Texas and part
of New Mexico to El Paso, where
they arrived about noon, Mountain
time, Sunday after coverir.-g approxi-
mately nine hundred and twenty-five
miles.
The Guardsman were en route to
Ft. Bliss to begin two weeks of field
training in conjunction with the New
Mexico National Guard. They were
transported by army trucks to final
few miles from El Paso to their bar-
racks in Ft. Bliss.
The special train that carried the
approximately 200 officers and en-
listed men of the Battalion had its
own kitchen car and the Guardsmen
also enjoyed complete Pullman ac-
commodations. For some of the newer
Guardsmen it was their first train
ride. There were some humorous com-
ments about “touring with the Na-
tional Guard”, and of practically
having Sunday morning breakfast in
bed. One Guardsman, in fact, was
heard to remark that he hoped to go
to heaven, but in case he couldn’t,
then he would like to go to the other
place by Pullman.
Training began for the Battalion
promptly at revielle on Monduy, Au-
gust 1st.

Indian Hieroglyphics
Attract Attention
Here; A Rare Find
If you are a Hieroglyphist of any
sort you will be interested ir; a frag-
ment of sandstone found in a gravel
pit near Marlow by Allen Edward
Dodson, Jr.
Allen Edward Jr. is just 5 years
old but goes out with his cousin Glen
Dodson who is getting well up with
an Indian collection.
The stone on which are drawn the
pictures of animals, is now the pro-
perty of Glen Dodson. On the stone
ure drawings of a buffalo, deer and
another animal the identity of which
has baffled many.
The hieroglyphics stone is at The
Herald. It will remain there for sev-
eral days and will go back to Glen's
collection. So far as known it is the
only such find ever made here. The
pit is on the east side of the river
at the end of the McClaren bridge.
Beyond is the old Story farm where
Indians once had an extensive village.
No doubt tire heiroglyph originated
there.
Glen Dodson is a Boy Scout and
interested in getting a big collection
of Indian relics. He has set up a
small museum at his home.

Rom where I sit... Ay Joe Marsh
If They're Wild,
They Belong To Tiki
Saw Tik Anderson lsst week and
was reminded of the first time 1
ever spoke to him. The missus had
sent me out one Saturday afternoon
to hunt for some blackberries.
I took a long hike and couldn’t
find any. Finally, I came to Tik’s
house along that low stretch east
of the fork on River Roud. "Hi
there,” I says, “any blackberries
uround here?”
Tik says, “There used to be—but
I don’t know much about things
that grow wild.” Later, I found
how Tik supports his family by
picking berries. Ever ice, I’ve
been like the rest of folks in town
—respectful of his right not to
tell where “his” berries grow.
From where I sit, respecting
other folks’ rights comes natural in
our town ... in America for that
matter! Whether it’s a person’s
right to enjoy a temperate glass of
beer or ale, or whether it’s Tik
Anderson’s right to keep secret
where his berrieB are, it’s all a big
part of a real democracy!

In particular—compare this beauty with the sixes—
and ask yourself why you should pay for straight-
eight power and not get it.
You have, remember, three smart body types
to choose from—the tidy, three-passenger Coupe
6hown here, a neat 2-door, six-passenger Sedanet
and a smart 4-door Sedan with the roomiest
interiors ever found in a Buick Special.
They’re going fast, as you might expect. Getting
a firm order in is a smart move just to insure
early delivery.
How about dropping in—the first minute you can?
