JUST A TRACI of rata fell here

Man at a comfortable level all

ALL RYIS AND ears have been
ew TV and radio since the Presi-
dent's announcement of the estab-
lishment of missile bases in Cuba
by Russia and the intention of the
U. S. to place into effect a naval
blockade of Cuba (which has now
been put into effect). There is a
great possibility that this action
may lead to a shooting war; even
so, the President seems to have al-
most the unanimous approval of
the American people. Most folks
only question our not acting with
more decision earlier in the Cuban
crisis.

MERCHANTS IN Clifton are con-
tinually offering the residents of
this area “good buys”. You'll find
it well worth your time to read the
sale items listed in the various ads
this week; you’ll be able to save
on your food, fall clothing, and
other needs. Clifton merchants are
continually expanding their stocks,
making Clifton a better and better
place to shop.
PERSONALS
IVIN SO, the seriousness of
the situation greatly concerns all
Americans, especially those of mil-
itary age, those serving in the Na-
tions] Guard units and the reserve,
and their families. The fact that
the dispute actually lies between
the two great nuclear powers—the
U. S. and Russia—makes everyone
shudder at the thought of what
could take place in a conflict be-
tween these nations.
WHEN THE President made his
announcement Monday, merchants
from over the entire southwest
were at merchandising centers buy-
ing spring and summer goods for
their customers. The announce-
ment brought a quick halt to much
of the buying, as the local mer-
ehants realized they might not
know who they were buying for in
1983. Take Clifton for instance; if
the National Guard should be call-
ed to active duty, the sales of our
local merchants would be greatly
altered. The President’s announce-
ment had sudden, drastic effects
on many other businesses here and
throughout the nation.
MANY PERSONS and cities are
giving renewed thought to the
need of shelters. Earlier in the
year, a team of investigators in-
spected all towns and cities in Cen-
tral Texas to determine if they
had buildings which could be used
for shelters. They only found one
building in Clifton, the Post Office,
which had an area suitable to be
equipped for shelter use. The Post
Office area is relatively small and
would not begin to take care of
the local population. The City
Council has not felt any demand
on the part of the town as a whole
for construction of a large public
shelter. A few private family shel-
ters have been constructed—but
only a very few.
BOYS WHO would like to have
some fun and possibly win some
real nice prizes should take part
in the "Punt, Pass & Kick” contest
to be held at Cub Stadium Satur-

has been undergoing medical treat
ment in the local hospital since

James Corpier had a telephone
call this week from his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Earl Corpier, who
are enjoying a deer hunt in Colo-
rado, reporting that Mr. Corpier
had killed a 14-point buck with a
horn spread of 29 inches, in the
Durango area. He also had bagged
a smaller 6-polnt buck.

yards in the next four tries; Clifton
took over on its two. Kettler and
Pullin each added a first down as
the Cubs moved to their 30. There
Swenson fumbled as he moved to
the 37, and Alvarado recovered.
The Cuba’ defense was still tough
and pushed Alvarado back 7 yards
during the next four downs. After
taking over the Cubs were penaliz-
ed 15 yards, which brought on the
Cub first punt of the night and
the Indians took possession on
their 35. Again Clifton pushed Al-
varado back, with the Indians punt-
ing from their 30 on fourth down.
Clifton took over on its 40; Town-
send ran for two first downs to the
Alvarado 38, then passed to Pullin
to the Indian 23 as the first half
came to an end.
Clifton’s kick-off opened the sec-
ond half; Alvarado returned to its
38 but had to punt. The Cube took
over on their 47; Kettler circled his
end for 32 yards to the Indian 21.
Alvarado stopped the Cuba on the
13. The Cubs then intercepted an
Indian pass on the Alvarado 30.
Townsend picked up seven; then
Kettler rambled around end 28
yards for a Cub touchdown. Pullin
ran for the extra two points, and
Clifton was out front 20 to 0.
Alvarado returned the Cub kick-
off to its 38 and picked up a first
down to its 48, but the Cubs then
pushed it back to the 41; the
Indians punted with the Cuba tak-
ing over on their 33. Townsend
broke loose for 25 ysrds. Pullin
added a first down to the Indian
31. There Townsend fumbled, and
Alvarado took over, then fumbled
the ball back to the Cubs on the
Alvarado 26. A pass by Murphree
was intercepted by the Indians at
the four-yard-line. Alvarado gambl-
ed and lost when trying for a yard
and a first down on its 18. Kettler
circled end for 15 and another Cub
touchdown on the first down. Pul-
lin added the extra two points.
Minutes later, Townsend, Pullin,
and Swenson made long runs to
add another touchdown, Swenson
traveling 28 yards for the score.
Pat Stewart then sprinted through
the Indians for 38 yards and anoth-
er score; Stewart kicked the extra
point. The Cubs lost little time in
scoring their final touchdown when
Murphree intercepted an Indian
pass and ran 40 yards for the score.
Gerald Carpenter added the extra
point. When the final gun sounded
the Cube had 50 points, Alvarado 0.
Mrs. Douglas Wendt, of Del Rio,
