By DORIS HENDERSON
You no doubt have heard the
story and song about the little
broken down steam engine try-
ing to pull too big a load up too
big a hill, huffing and puffing
and wheezing out, “I think I
can, I think I can, I think I
can . . and then finally mak-
ing it to the top of the hill and
scooting down, he triumphantly
puffed, "I knew I could, X knew
1 could, I knew I could.”
1 ''hat is the way I felt as I
Vsu jned to the rain on the roof
^arily Tuesday morning. I knew
t Jjould rain in West, I just
kn»w it could, and it did. The
little puddles of water in the
street looked as enchanting as
the big, blue pools I have seen
in the mountains. X know they
were just little mud puddles, but
to me they looked as promising
as the pot of gold at the end
of the rainbow.
Even mud puddles from a
tenth of an inch of rain can
hold lots of hope and beauty
with the new morning sun mak-
ing them glisten like little dia-
monds.

Last week end I was excited
as I could be, and full of hope
and glee for I was going to Aus-
tin to see my team play foot-
ball. Being a loyal Texas Ex I
had read the stories released by
Coach Ed Price, and I felt that
I would see the Longhorns play j
ents’ touchdown passes as the
Longhorns. In fact, they may
have completed more of them,
for they sure made more touch-
downs.
I'm not unhappy that Texas
doesn't have a good football
team1 this year, but why did they
sell tickets to the game if they
weren’t going to play? Since I
witnessed this game, X don’t
feel morally obligated to go see
Texas and Oklahoma play. The
Oklahoma coach said they
weren’t worried about Texas this
year; I’m not worried about
them either, only thing I’m wor-
ried about is the fact that for
the first time we have tickets
to that game that are not only
not in the end zone—but they
are on the 50 yard line.
Now what should I do? If I
do go to the game I’ll be sorry,
and if I don’t I’ll be sorry. After
all the day of miracles is not
over—look what SMU did to
Notre Dame. But then the
Ponies believe eleven men can
play football all at the same
time.

It wasn’t that California fail-

they sent the whole team, and

the crowd was grateful. It was-1 -o-
n’t so much that the California
coach felt sorry for Texas, but
he had to find out if they were
good enough to sign long-term
contracts.
Other schools do give schol-
arships, but I hear that is out
of date at Southern California;
there they sign contracts. I sup-
pose that has something to do
with the Hollywood influence,
but it dors produce good foot-
l—ll teams.
Since the platoon system has
gone out, the Texas coach has
figured out a way of keeping
his team from getting tired. He
only lets about a third of the
team take part in each play.
I’m not sure how they decide
who plays when unless they
draw straws when they are in
the huddle, for they don’t have
any different plays, so they
must do something.
It looks rather odd to see four
men step back on each play
year.
Miss Crabb will not only ride
in the opening day parade, but
she will ride in the Grand En-
try of the rodeo each night. She
will also take part in the crown-

Oct. 3 has also been set aside
as Firemen’s Day at the HOT
Fair. The West Volunteer Fire
pepartment has been cordially
invited to participate. Activities
scheduled for the day include
registration between 9 and 11:30
a.m. and an address by Judge
Olin Culberson at 1:30 p.m. Wa-

Kiwanis Kid’s
Day Was Great!
Approximately 150 children

Sept. 22. The program consisted
of feature length movie, "Drum-

several comedies. All the chil-
dren who attended reported a
mast enjoyable morning.
On previous Kiwanis Kids’
Days, children from West have
been taken to James Connally

movie idea here at home seem-
ed to meet with wide approval.

Mrs. Grimmett
Killed in Wreck
at T’ Wednesday
Mrs. Blance Miles Grimmett,
66, of White Oak connnuniay,
was killed and three Waco men
injured in a two-car collision
at the intersection of Oak St.
and Highway 81 here at 8:40 a.
m. Wednesday.
Injured were Tom Coultre,
Elmo Wagner and W. A. Walns-
ley. They were treated at a clin-
ic here. Doctors said Coulter re-
ceived possible broken ribs and
cuts and bruises. Wagner and
Walnsley had cuts and bruises
and Walnsley a sprained ankle.
West Chief of Police Hollis
McMahan said Mrs. Grimmett
was driving alone. Coulter was
driver of the other car.
Wagner told officers Mrs.
Grimmett drove out of the in-
tersection in front of them.
Coulter’s car, going north,
struck her car at the driver’s
seat on the left side, McMahan
said.
The Grimmett car was thrown
62 feet across the highway from
the place of the collision.
Witnesses said Mrs. Grimmett
was thrown from the car and
the car ran over her.
McMahan said she apparently
was killed instantly.
Her death was the first traf-
fic death in West this year and
the 28th in McLennan County.
Funeral arrangements for
Mrs. Grimmett are in charge of
Aderhold Funeral Home here.

unveiled by Ford dealers in 19 body styles, of which this is the four door Victoria, a member of
the new "Fairlane 500” series. I’airlane models are nine inches longer and four inches lower than
their 1956 counterparts. Though the new models are lower, interior headroom is as great as last
year, since the car’s chassis and floor are re-designed for a lower center of gravity.

Dear editar:
According to an article I read
in a newspaper yesterday aft-
ernoon while I was out here
hard at work managing my
farm, some people might think
it was a queer use of the word
manage to be sitting in the
shade watching the sky and
wondering if a cloud way off in
the distance could work itself
up into a rain storm, but they-
’re the kind of people who can’t
understand how a man In town
can be managing his store by
standing out on the curb in
crises unreported and Washing-
ton never heard about them, the
chances are they might fizzle
Out on their own, like a tree
falling silently in the woods
with nobody there to hear it,
but when Washington has half
a billion dollars to turn loose,
I’m interested, doesn’t make any
difference if I’m not a foreign
country.
Here’s the thing. I’ve got a
little land in the Soil Bank, but
the income from that won’t
quite see me through. Now I
don’t have a ship, but thunder,
I could start building one,
couldn't I? And besides, Wash-
ington’s not going to balk at a
front watching the traffic go technicality. When you're deaL
by or arguing football with some
friends, at any rate, according
to this article, the United States
is considering putting up half a
billion dollars to pay ship own-
ers not to use the Suez Canal.
If they'll go the long way round,
the U. S. will pay them the dif-
ference In cost.
Now it’s not my job to pass on
ing with a threatening crisis,
hang the expense.
For a reasonable figure, I’ll
agree not to send any ships
through the Suez Canal. I’ll do
even better. I’ll agree not to
send any the long way round, or
anywhere. All I want is a little
canal money to go with my Soil
Bank money, until the world sit-
