CONTRACT FOR NEW ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL ARCHITECT PLANS APPROVED
At the Thursday meeting of the, pany and the Richardson School
Carrollton-Fanners Branch School
Board the president, William
Linn, and the secretary, W.' M.
Davis, were authorized to sign a
contract with John R. Thompson,
Architect, for the design of a new
elementary school to be located
near the high school. Plans will be

ally schools are designed so that
a maximum of air flow is possible
which requires more expensive
building with wasted space. Sum-
mer school classes for elementary

new building. It may be possible
to also include high school classes
in the proposed school.

Tuesday’s General Election is
expected to draw record throngs
throughout the nation and Texas.
Local issues will see more than
300,000 go to the polls in Dallas
County alone.
Heading the big day’s event, of
course, will be the race for Presi-
dent of the United States. Lyndon
B. Johnson, Democrat of Texas, is
seeking a full four-year term.
Opposing him is Sen. Barry Gold-
water the Republican.
President Johnson, the incum-
bent who is expected to win by a
landslide vote, will have Hubert
Humphrey as his running mate.
Goldwater will have- William Mil-
ler as ihis candidate for Vice-
President.
Texans will have an opportunity
to vote in an important race for
U. S. Senator. This is one of the
hottest contests of the day with
Republican George Bush seeking
to unseat incumbent Ralph Yar-
borough.
Gov. John Connally is expected
to have an easy time in bis bid
for re-election. He’s being opposed
by Republican Jack Crichton. A
number of other important state
races also are on the Nov. 3 bal-
lot.
This year in Texas there are an
estimated 5,900,000 people over
21, but only 3,110,000 are eligible
to vote.
Dallas County Races Hot
There is no question which one
is the hottest race in Dallas
County. Both Democrats and Re-
publicans will agree that the
Fifth District Congressional race
heads the card. In that one, for-
mer Mayor of Dallas Earle Cabell
the Democrat is trying to oust
incumbent Bruce Alger, the Re-
publican.
The Republicans, for the first
time in the state’s history, will be
making a bid for nearly every
seat from governor on down to
constable precincts. Some party
lever pulling is expected but the
majority of Texas voters, and par-
ticularly those in Dallas County,
are expected to be selective when
they enter the polling booth.
Two local races that should be
noted are that of County Commis-
sioner Distriot 1 and Constable,
Precinct 2.
Jack Blanton, Carrollton banker
and grain dealer, the Democrat,
is gaining votes in his 'attempt to
unseat incumbent Republican
Frank Crowley as Commissioner
of District 1. And Jack Richardson
the Democrat is going against
Harry Crane, the Republican, for
Constable Precinct 2. Richardson
lives in Farmers Branch and
Crane resides in Richardson. Car-
rollton gets to vote in that race
also but only a small part of Irv-
ing and Addison.
Polls to Be Swamped
Needless to say, the polls will
be swamped come next Tuesday.
Area voters were urged to cast
their ballots early or else wait in
long lines. The polls will be open
from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 ip.m.
Here’s where area voters will
cast their ballots Tuesday:
Precinct 101—Coppell School.
Precinct 102—Carrollton Civic
