Picnic Here Thursday
One of our council goals “Coop-
eration and Unity of Citizens of
Bosque County,” was certainly
pushed forward at the Home Dem-
onstration clubs county picnic at
Clifton Aug. 12.
Mustang, our baby club, proved
it is old enough to start walking.
Look out, Busy Bee and others.
Some of our political friends and
town citizens of Bosque County
could have learned a few lessons
on this day.
Under such efficient leadership
of our agent, Miss Jessye Courtney,
the booth exhibits revealed that the
club ladies have been busy.
Thanks, Mrs. Earl White, Merid-
ian, for sharing your talent with
us. You helped prove that club
ladies appreciate 'beauty also and
like to use what we have in flower
arrangements.
Who said “Club ladies don’t
know how to play”? This statment
was proven false during the recrea-
tion period. In her report, Flora
Mae Stryker, 4-H girl, made us
feel proud to have had a part in
encouraging our young people.
The final feature of the occasion
was the “Farm Products Hat Show”
conducted by Murray Cox, R.F.D.,
from radio station WFAA. Hats
made of cotton, hegari, corn shucks,
grain, feathers, watermelon, fruits,
and even a hens nest with eggs
brought forth loud applause. These
hats were really fine. Ladies from
the Busy Bee Club, Clifton, had an
outstanding display and their
booth placed first.
Mrs. Jake Seljos was crowned
“Queen Club Gal of Bosque Coun-
ty” by Mr. Cox. Judge Martin
was scheduled to do the crowning
but due to illness of his mother he
was unable to be present.

ment about the health meeting on

Arthur B. Poston Dies
At Home Sunday
(Miss Stella Vickrey)
Arthur Britton Poston died at
his homa in the Lanes Chapel com-
munity last Sunday, Aug. 15, at
about 8:20 p. m. from a heart at-
tack. Funeral services were held
Tuesday afternoon at the Lanes
Chapel church with interment at
the Clifton Cemetery. Rev. Hayden
Edwards of Fort Worth and Rev.
James Shuler of Valley Mills con-
ducted the services.
Mr. Poston’s neighbors and
friends were shocked and deeply
grieved when it was learned that
he had passed away. Although se-
riously ill only one week, Mr.
Poston had not regained his full
health after a sunstroke suffered
about two years ago.
Mr. Poston was born near Mo-
sheim on April 3, 1883, the son of
Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Poston. On
Dec. 26, 1906, he and Mrs. Poston
were married in the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Tim Dodgion near Mo-
sheim. They spent their entire
married life around Mosheim, the
last 30 years on their present farm
in the Lanes Chapel community.
Mr. Poston is survived by his
wife, six children, Tillie Poston of
Gruver, Brit Poston of Ontario,
Calif., Mrs. Creola Lane, Lanes
Chapel, Mrs. Marie Carlson, Mrs.
Rosalie Grosman, and Miss Sally
Poston of Fort Worth; five grand
children; three brothers, J. S.
Poston of Hamilton, G. C. Poston of
Fort Worth, and D. T. Poston of
Mosheim; and three sisters, Mrs.
Sally Callan and Mrs. Myrtle Hord
of Valley Mills and Mrs. Annie
Gibson of Meridian.
The deceased lived a useful
Christian life. He had served as
steward and trustee in the Meth
odist Church, had been president
of the Mosheim and Lanes Chapel
school boards, and an active Mason
and Woodman.
He loved his many friends and
he never let an opportunity pass to
aid them in time of trouble or ill-
ness. The weajh«5 a ever became
top disagreeable or time too busy
for him to go to the bedside of
a sick friend and remain as long
as his services were needed. His
acts of kindness and good deeds
will linger in the minds of his
many friends for years to come.
He was a devoted husband, a kind
father and a friend to all—he has
earned his reward in heaven.
Pallbearers were P. E. Dansby,
Jess Todd, Ivan McLemore, C. A.
Townley, C. O. Bergman, and Otis
Blue.

Right-of-way differences between
the County, Highway Department,
and the Hamilton Ranch owners,
Norman Hamilton and W. B. Ham-
ilton, were settled last Monday
morning in Meridian before Judge

that the right-of-way and fencing
done and proposed to be done by

School Budget For
194849 Approved
Tuesday night a public reading
was held on the budget which had
been approved by the trustees for
the school year 1948-49 for Clifton
Public Schools.
The budget calls for the esti-
mated expenditure of $90,950 dur-
ing the coming school year just
ahead. The year which has just
been completed saw the expendi-
ture of $96,524.50; this was $5,-
783.50 more than the estimated ex-
penditures when the school year be-
gan a year ago. The increase in
money spent over the estimate
came about through the construc-
tion of the new vocational agricul-
ture building; before starting this
building the question of bonds for
this building was voted upon by
the tax payers in the town.
Next year, as in the year just
closed, teachers’ salaries of $55,-
113 make up the largest item. Next
major Item is transportation which
amounts to an estimated $2,800 in
salaries and $9,200 for new buses
and maintenance of other buses.
Summary of the expenditures for
the year just closed and the es-
timated expenses for the coming
school year is broken down into the
following divisions:
Administrative expenses (includ-
ing salary for superintendent):
1947-48—$5,588.06.
Est. ’48-’49—$5,955.00.
Instructural service including
teachers salaries except superin-
tendent) :
1947-48—$54,295.59.
Est. ’48-’49—$54,534.00.
Operation of School Plant:
1947-48—$3,220.
Est. ’48-’49—$3,740.
Maintenance of School plant:
1947-48—$314.23.
Est. ’48-’49—$500.
Auxiliary services and coordinat-
ing activities (including transpor-
tation):
1947-48—$10,651.60.
Est. ’48-’49—*11,426. *
Fi.x3i Charges:
1947-48—$1,362.13.
Est. ’48-’49—$1,770.
Capital outlay:
1947-48—$15,321. :
Est. ’48-’49—$6,200.
Debt service:
1947-48—$5,771.
Est. ’48-’49—$6,826.
Total expenditures:
1947-48—$96,524.50.
Est. ’48-’49—$90,950.00.
It is of interest to note that total
current expenditures amounted to
$75,432.50 for the year just closed
and the total revenue receipts for
current expenditures came to $77,-
581.61 (current expenditures do not
include capital outlay or debt serv-
ices.)
Of the school tax collected in the
district, 65 per cent will go for cur-
rent operating expenditures and 35
per cent for paying off indebted-
ness this year.
It is estimated that $19,453 will
be collected from taxes in the
school district and that the State
and Federal government will sup-
plement this with $56,827 for salary
aid, transportation, federal aid for
vocational education, and per capita
allotment.
