Services Held
For Miss Dowdle
It was with deep regret that the
many friends in Clifton of Miss
Alva Dowdle, aged 54 years, 10
months, and 2 days, of Refugio,
learned of her death in that city
at approximately 3:00 o’clock on
Saturday afternoon. August 30. Miss
Dowdle was a beloved teacher in
the Clifton Public Schools for 18
years. ’
Having spent the summer months
in Clifton with her brother-in-law
and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Albert C.
Reesing, Miss Dowdle left here on
Monday bf last week for Refugio,
where for the past two years she
had been employed as librarian in
the public schools.
Miss Dowdle boarded in the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Anton Jorgenson
in Refugio, and it was several hours
following the time when her death
evidently occurred that Miss Dow-
dle’s body was discovered by Mrs.
Jorgenson. Miss Dowdle had not
been well during the summer
months, and her friends here did
not have the privilege of being
with her as much as was usually
the case during her visits in this
city.
Fifth of the eight children of the
late James D. Dowdle and Mrs. Mat-
tie Edmondson Dowdle, Miss Alva
Dowdle was born on October 28,
1903, at Purdon in Navarro County.
As the Purdon School had only
ten grades, Miss Dowdle stayed
for a year with an uncle and aunt.
Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Mills, at Canton,
where she completed her high
school education. It was following
her graduation from high school
that she took an examination in
the County School Superintendent’s
office which qualified her for a
temporary teacher’s certificate.
Miss Dowdle then was elected as
a member of the faculty of the
Dresden School near Purdon; dur-
ing the 37 years of 1ier teaching
career she taught at Morgan, Clif-
ton, Van, Kaufman, and Refugio. It
was during the summer months
and by correspondence courses in
the winters that she received her
Bachelor of Science Degree in Ele-
mentary Education and later her
Master of Arts Degree in Library
Science from East Texas State Col:
lege at Commerce. Toward these
degrees Miss Dowdle also took
courses at Clifton College, Sul Ross
State College at Alpine, and West
Texas State College at Canyon.
As previously mentioned, Miss
Dowdle taught for 18 years in the
Clifton Public Schools—from 1929
through 1947. Duripg those years
she was a greatly iMpected teach-
er in the elementary grades, where
her devotion to her profession left
its mark upon, many of the young
people in this vicinity. She was an
excellent teacher, a fine disciplinar-
ian, and fair in her dealings with
her students in whose welfare she
always was interested, even after
they progressed beyond her juris-
diction.
Miss Dowdle’s greatest interests
were her school children and her

I enjoyed having last week off
to do some fishing and hunting,
but I’m certainly glad to be back

ahead of me for the next few
weeks.

00 in prize money and ribbons. The
county’s first place gilt and the
county male pig will be shown in

an excellent one for both parties.
Clifton citizens regretted to learn
that the kiln scheduled to be erect-
ed near Clifton would not be built
at the present but would be added
to the Cleburne plant.
. The lime Company andjthe Santa
Fe Railway are now woiflcing on a
mill-in transit rate whicli the com-
pany hopes will permit vie ship-
ment of the limestone rock from
the former Reese property to their
Cleburne plant. If this takes place
as hoped, a jnodern quarry will be
put into operation which should
furnish employment for about 25
to 30 men, about one-half the num
ber of employees the first plans
called for when a plant was part
of the project.

RETURNING CLIFTON HIGH LETTERMEN will
be the basis of the Cubs’ hopes for another strong
team. The above nine lettermen reported for pre-
season practice last week and are, top row, left to
right, Jim Willenborg, Curtis Allen, Ernest Erickson,
Gary Josey, and Larry Wilkerson, all backs.
Bottom row, left to right, Gary Cash, Jim Bill
Harris, Johnny Borchers, and Robert Rierson, all
linemen.

Cubs Open Against Eagles Here Friday
Clifton High Cubs wound up
their twice a day workouts Wed-
nesday in preparation for their
first football game of the season
against the Hillsboro Eagles in Clif-
ton Friday at 8:00 P. M.
Little is known about the Eagles
this year; after having a poor year
last season, they are starting over
again this year under a new head
coach, Dexter Bassinger, who serv-
ed as assistant coach during their
championship years.
Among the 50 candidates who
reported to the Eagle coaches,
there were nine lettermen. These
are Richard Hollenshead, Herman
Adcok, Robert Curry, Donald Mac-
key, Marvin Tune, Tommy Beavers,
Carter Royal, Billy Wickman, and
Harold Whittington.
The Cubs had two good scrim-
mages during their pre-season
training period—one with McGreg-
or and the other with Granbury.
Clifton looked promising on the
defense, but showed need of hard,
practice to develop an offense that
will be able to move the ball.
The team’s prospects were streng-
thened this week with the addition
of James Nieman and George Davis
to the squad; Cliff Jenson will be
able to.put on the pads next week,
bringing the total returning letter-
men to twelve.
Clifton's squad has shown a lot
of spirit and determination in its
early practice sessions, something
the coaches know they will need
to take the place of speed and ex-
perience that departed with last
