(Me Wins
Over Gonzales
By Danle Reporter
the Deule Gobblers closed their
1955 baseball season here Satur-
day night in a win over the Go-
phers of Gonzales by a sco
9-1.
The Gobbler’s season was a
schedule of ten games, all of which
were district games. The DG's
completed this schedule with a 7-3
record which is unofficially a sec-
ond place honor.
Last season, the Gobblers finish-
ed with the same record but were
In a tie with San Marcos. The
latter won the playoff 4-1.
The coaches and the under grad-
uates of Gobbler team feel it is
proper to dedicate this second
place honor to Raephel Brown and
Joe A. Mathis, who are the seniors
of the team. Brown is a four year
letterman in football, two years of
which he served is co-captaln and
CaptSin respectively; a trAckster
fdr three years and played all in-
nings of twenty of twenty-one
games in baseball for two seasons.
This reporter feels that the other
qualities Raephel has shown as a
student should enable him to be-
come nothing short erf a useful
citizen.
Mathis’ record is as outstanding
as Raephel’s. He is a three year
letterman in football; ran track
one year: played basketball three
years and baseball two seasons.
A useful citizen, too, he should be.
As reporter of athletics and a
coach, I wish to commend each
supporter of these activities weath-
er it were as a boasting fan or an
informer of the activities for help-
ing the participants succeed as
we feel that they did. We say they
succeeded not because of the num-
ber of victories and defeat, but be-
cause we see evidence of the values
the participants have gotten and
the support we have gotten from
you.
I feel that I am voicing the senti-
ments of my aid, coach Sampson;
record performances ever staged
outside the Olympic games.
The big marks were like this:
1. A Texas tegm composed of
Dean Smith, Alvin Freidman, Jer-
ry Prewit and Bobby Wilson ran
the 440-yard sprint relay in 40.2
seconds; nipping the old, 18-year-
old mark by three-tenths of a sec-
ond.
2. Held broke his own world
mark of 263-feet, 10-inches, twice
during the evening with tosses of
266-feet, 8 1-2 inches and then one
tremendous heave of 268-feet, 2 1-2
inches.
33. Santee, after training relig
iously all year to break the four-
minute barrier in the mile without
success, turned to the half-mile and
bettered the existing recognized
mark. He was clocked in 1:48.5,
to top Mai Whitfield’s 1953 record
of 1:48.6. However, Lon Spurrier,
who finished second to Santee Sat-
urday night, has been clocked in
1:47.5 earlier this year, and his
mark is up for approval.
The Texas runners, incidentally,
picked up a first place in the 880-
yard relay and another in the two-
mile relay; and a third in the one-
mile relay to gamer 34 points and
win the team title from USC,
which had 32 1-2 points.
"I never dreamed we could win
the team title with out 11 men,”
said a Jubilant Texas Coach Clyde
Uttlefied. “If I had thought we
were in contention I would have
had somebody broadjumping and
someone else running the hurdles.”

Special to Central Press
TBTA8HINGTON—Labor department officials say the future was
W never brighter than it is for the men and women who graduate
from college this spring. They point out that the class of 1955 is the
smallest since 1948 and that a booming national economy is waiting
with open arms to greet them into the ranks of wage earners. In
fact, in some fields such As engineering, there won’t be enough gradu-
ates to go around.
However, things will be a lot tougher for the high school senior
who doesn’t want to attend college. While there
are quite a few jobs for them, competition will be
fierce. For this is the largest high school graduat-
ing class in history and college degrees are becom-
ing more and more necessary in many industries.
Of course, the fact that this year’s high school
class is so large Indicates larger college enroll-
ment in the future. In fact, more young men and
women—2 V4 million—than ever before entered col-
lege last autumn. That means 1959 will probably
see a flood of college graduates vying for Jobs in
a labor market which seems likely to be quite a
i b,t Ughter than today’s.
Temerrew • |obt 0 ANNUAL SQUEEZE—Congress is under great
pressure as usual to make changes in the Social
Security system. Members report that they are getting a large
amount Of mail from retired or a bout-to-be-re tired persons urging
liberalization of the present law.
However, key legislators dealing with Social Security legislation
report that nothing will be done this year evsn though scores of bills
have been introduced.
Congress made several changes in the law last year—an election
year—and probably will make some more in 1956, when a presidential
election is in the offing. Lawmakers responsible for handling such
proposals say the change most likely to be mads would allow retired
persons to earn more outside income without losing social securtiy
benefits.
This so-called "work clause” was changed last year ta re tee the
allowable outetde income from $T5 ta 4lW> a month. Many proposals
now eall for removing all limits, but action on these Is doubtful Any
Increase in benefits next year undoubtedly would be accompanied by
» boost in the wage base on which the social security tax Is psld, or
e.se ih the tax itself.

0 NO SURPRISE—The forthright statement of Chief Justice Earl
Warren about any intention of being a Republican candidate for
President In 1956 was just what his fritndt expected.
The former vice presidential candidate (1948) and former governor
of California made it quite clear that his name is not
to be considered in any way .. . ‘‘under any circum-
aUnees or conditions."
wsrren’i friends have Said all along that ht was
disturbed by polls and political speculators whe lifted
him as a possible candidate IT President Eisenhower
declines to run. /
The chief justice himself said such forecuts were embarrassing to
Elm because they implied that he wu not fully settled in his role
ifa * Supreme Court member.
Following Warren’s statements, one political observer called it the
isnoot definite disavowal of tny presidential ambitions since Gen. Wil-
liam T. Sherman made his famous statement in 1883. Sherman said,
•If nominated, I Will not accept; if elected, I will not serve."

pop out when the weather warms

Health Officer, says you can ex-

ants and spiders; if not at home

The mosquito is a famous car-
rier of malaria. It’s eradication,
both because of the bites spread
disease, is adviseable. Mosquito
bites itch intensely, and the more
you scratch them the more they
itch. The itching can be lessened
if you wash the spots with soap
and water or alcohol, and then
apply a soothing lotion.

this ru«k three bedroom home
would be ptrtkuUrly pleasant in
house. The two rear bedrooms
feature large sliding door ward-
robes. The central room can be
a country setting. A rather miff:, used as a den and an arch or
imum floor area is used for this
very, workable floor plan. The
square footage is 1112. The rooms
are quite large and well arranged.
A large porch is placed on two
sides of the building.
UVING ROOM
This room is very large and
features a large picture window
on the right wall. With even the
large amount ofi window space
there is still ample Wall space for
very fine furniture arrangement.
Notice the excellent traffic setup.
It is possible to move thru the
living room without crossing thru
the furniture arrangement. The
dining room is an alcove off the
living room thus making the two
rooms seem much larger. A Urge
coat-storage closet is also provided
in this area.
KITCHEN — SERVICE
A corner sink and counter ar-
rangement is the feature in this
room along with the breakfast
nook in the opposite corner. Ample
work space is provided and a
very convenient sliding door sepa-
rates the dining room and the
kitchen. The use of colorful lino-
leum, curtains and leatherette in
the nook would make this a very
light and lovely kitchen. A service
space is enclosed at the rear, near
the back door.
BEDROOMS
All the bedrooms are large and
well spaced. The main room is
at the left rear away from the
noise of the front portion of the
folding doors can be placed in the
wall between this room and the
living lOom. If this room is to
be used as a den, a fireplace can
be placed On the outside wall with
french doors at both sides. The
bath features a recessed Ihib' erm]
which glass shower doors can be
placed. Also featured is the jagl-
man type counter around *the wash
basin. In the hall is a large linen
closet and also the centrally, lo-
cated heater. Z,

tuberculosis, and dysentery are
known to have been spread by
flies. It is important to protect the
whole community from flies and
for everyone to take measures to
get rid of them.
At home, put garbage in a met-
al, leak-proof can with a tight-
fitting lid. Flies breed in filth and
the food they find in and around
garbage cans. If they get into the
house, they will carry germs 1o
your food, and even to nursing bot-
tles and the mouths of babies.
Good window screens and doors
will keep flies outside if you teacf^
your children to close the doors
quickly when they come in or go
out.” The yard, chicken houses,
stables, and other likely breeding
places should always be kept clean
so that flies cahnot find food and
want to stay around. Clean, sani-
tary homes, alleys, and places of
business do not attract flies,
Chigger bites are more trouble-
some than mosquito bites. If .you
take a bath after you have been
exposed to them, you will wash
off most of the larvae before tl* r
burrow into the skin. Sulphur on
the legs and ankles will prevent
many bites.
