NUMBER 17
Dorchester Ousts
Carrollton From
District 26-21
The Carrollton boys, holding
their title for Dallas county, de-

beaten at the close of the game
by only 5 points—21 to 26.
Also losing in the first bracket
contest was the- Forney team
from Kaufman county. Highland
Park of Dallas did the honors by
defeating the Forney boys 38-22.
One thousand fans saw the
Friday’s opening games. The
Carrollton-Dorchester game was
dose all the way, neither team
being able to roll up a big advan-
tage at any time. After trailing,
4-2, at the erid of the quarter,
Dorchester, paced by tall Glynn
Braden, came from behind to
lead 2-9 at the half. Shortly af-
ter the third quarter began, Car-
tollton overtook Dorchester on
field goals by Charles Weber and
Jack Chambers to run the score
up to 13 to 12 in their favor.
Dorchester regained the lead
When Jack Wallace made three
quick field goals on clever under-
therbasket play and Bob Hunter
added another. The local boys
made three more points, but trail-
ed 20-16 at the end of the third
quarter.
Dorchester maintained their
lead throughout the last quarter.
High point honors were made by
Charles Weber for Carrollton and
Wallace for Dorchester, each
scoring 13 points.
In the consolation game be-
tween Forney and Carrollton
Saturday night, the local team
was handicapped |,by the absence
of two players, Parker and Cham-
bers. The Forney team came
out in the lead at the end with a
■score of 26-21.
McKinney won the District 11
championship and the right to
compete in the Region 3 contest

City Secretary C. L. Chastain
last week beat the Garden club to
part of the paint-up campaign by
painting all the fire plugs a
bright orange color.
Mayor J. C. Davis has a new
Real Estate sign in his front yard.
Under the auspices of the Car-
rollton Community Garden club,
other civic clubs and the city of-
ficials, an extensive Clean-up,
Paint-up campaign will begin
Wednesday, March 5, and the
intensive part will continue
through March 12.
For many weeks, Carrollton
has needed only a few things done
to each yard and to the streets in
order to make it the most beauti-
ful little city in this section of
Texas. Several months ago, ef-
fort was made to clean-up the
town, and some trash was
gathered and hauled away.
This year, for the first time in
many, the Dallas County Literary
Meet has chosen Carrollton as
host and will convene here March
14 and 15. Instructors and stu-
dents from over the county will
be coming into Carrollton, and
the Garden club and other civic
minded groups have taken the
lead in preparing the town for
this.
Commissioner Tom W. Field
has arranged for a county truck to
drive up' and down each street to
pick up and remove trash and tin
cans, March 7. These should be
placed in sacks and out near the
streets. Those not having sacks
may secure them by seeing C. L.
Chastain. The Blanton Feed
Mills donated sacks for use dur-
ing the campaign.
Questionaire sheets will be
placed in every home, and these
are to be filled out by the occu-
pant to assist in beautifying the
whole town to a greater degree.
Anyone knowing of unsightly
places or unsanitary conditions
are urged to report them or to
help remedy the situation.

Whitlock Station
Robbed Second Time;
Cash Register Taken
Thieves broke into the Whit-
lock Service Station here Sunday
some time between midnight and
morning, taking the cash register
and its contents and other
valuables.
This is the second time within
the past few weeks the Whitlock
station has been robbed. The
other time, nothing was taken
but some kerosene. However,
when the looters broke the lock to
the building, they found and
took the cash register and its
contents, about $6 in change and
a $9 government check. Also,
the cigarette stock of the station
was taken, along with a cigarette
machine.
Homer Whitlock, manager, es-
timated that in all, about $150
worth of merchandise and equip-
ment was taken.

The Carrollton Chronicle
Gentlemen:
I believe my subscription to
the Chronicle has expired and am
sending a check for $3.00 to pay
my subscription up from October
10,1940, and two more years in
advance.
I do enjoy my home town
paper. It lets me keep up with
my old friends, and I would
surely miss the paper after all
these years. I think my family
has been taking the paper for al-
most 30 years.
Thanks,
Mrs. Phil Kempster

Two More Nationally
Known Writers’ Items
In Chronicle This Issue
Last week, the Chronice began
publishing eight pages as an ex-
periment to see if the readers re-

writers whose articles appeared in
lsat week’s issue were indexed as
to the pages on which they would
be found.
This week, the columns of two
more writers have been added—
The ever-popular column, “The
Once Over,” by H. I. Phillips,
which is to be found on page 3.
On page 2 will be found the
“Washington Digest,” written by

you think of them.

County Commissioners
Vote $25 Salary
For City Library
A salary of $25 per month was
voted into the county budget by
the County Commissioners court
Monday to be paid to a librarian
for the Carrollton Public Library.
The Carrollton citizens’ group
sponsoring the library will use
the money to pay the salary of
the librarian. The city of Car'
rollton and the community agreed
to furnish a building and pay the
cost of utilities.
Mrs. C. A. Good was approved
by the court as librarian. The
library will be located in the
rear upstairs of the Rhoton Dry
Goods Company, and will be
open to the public after March 1.
Five hundred state books have
been promised the local library
and are expected to be received
here by March 1. Mrs. Good
states that any individual having
books'to donate or to lend the
library are urged to do so and it
would be greatly appreciated.
At various intervals during the
past two years, Carrollton has
had state library books to lend,
and during the six-months period
when the books were here last
year, the 500 copies were checked
out 2536 times.
There will be no fees for per-
sons checking out books, and the
books may be kept two weeks.
Exact hours the library will be
open have not been announced
by the county library committee.
Other towns receiving the $25
monthly salary include Grand
Prairie, Irving, Lancaster and
Mesquite.

Paint and Repairs
Added To Itenk Building
Carrollton citizens and travel-
ers are greeted now by a more
inspiring looking building for the
Federal Credit Union.
For the past two weeks, repairs
have been made and the frame-
“That Ain’t The Way
I Heared It, Charley”
Many have heard of the story
of Ferdinand the bull, but Car-
robton’s bull story was not about
Ferdinand—it was about a bull
owned by Charles C. McKamy,
At any rate, W. T. Squibb it
saying around town, “That’*
pretty good, Charley, but that
ain’t the way I heared it.”
“The way I heard it," con-
tinues Mr. Squibb, “was that tha
man who lived on my farm way
back in 1908 had one of the
world’s smartest dogs.
“Now, this dog was a most in-
telligent dog, and he was trained
to go to the pasture after the
cows.
“After the dog had gone after
the cows several times, the owner
noticed a very peculiar though
not dissatisfactory thing. Here-
tofore, he had been running the
fresh cows into one barn and the
dry ones into a feeding lot.
“What so astonished the man
was that the dog soon learned to
go after the cows, bringing back
ONLY the FRESH cows and
leaving the dry ones in the
pasture.”
“And that, so help me—is the—
truth.”

tween the bricks, and other j have been touched up a bit by
places painted about the building. \ the time it got to us.)
