The alumnus magazine of Van-

the article and wrote to Carthage
asking for the date of his death.
The letter reached a former neigh-

was not dead, and forwarded the
letter to Dr. Hardaway.

Austin Dentist
Tired of Being
Reported Dead
Austin, Tex., Nov. 14, (UP) —
Meet an 83-year-old dentist who is
becoming accustomed to, but rath-
er tiered of, being reported dead.
Meet Dr. Ezra T. Hardaway, who
for 53 years practiced dentistry
at Carthage, Mo. First reports of
his ‘death’ occurred in the Car-
thage Press, in a headline which
the newspaper fully intended to
print, “Dr. Hardaway Dean of
Dentistry.”
Instead, the article which Car- i
tiginians read was headlined “Dr.
Hardaway Dead,” and on the sec-
ond line, “of Dentistry.” The im-
plications upon the dental profess-
ion, besides the errouneous report
of his death, were upsetting to Dr.
Hardaway.
“It was disturbing at the time
for my patients felt they should
patronize a live dentist. However,
now I’m used to it,” Dr. Harda-
way admitted.
The elderly dentist moved to
Austin in 1941, where he has been
living with his daughter.
‘ ISoon after he left Carthage,
however, the press did it again. In
carrying an account, accurately,
of the death of Dr. 'Hardaway’s
partner in Carthage, the newspa-
per mentioned t hat the deceased
was once a partner of the “Late

es 2c a gallon for building farm-
to-market roads specifying that

cation in marketing and distribu-

tion with a special request that

how to grade and class cotton,
asking that all but producers, fac-
tors and legitimate commission
men be excluded from trading on
the commodity exchanges; and
asking that Production Credit As-
sociation be excluded from any
move to combine lending agencies

its own financial power to oper-
ate independent of government

Wakefield from a number of con-
gressmen and senators and offi-
cials of the Farm Bureau which
Were sent in response to a resolu-
tion from Ellis County demanding
that some relief be provided in

changes to prevent the sudden re-
versals. in prices which are of
great harm to farmers. All as-
sured the Ellis county producers

cure the evil complained of.

tion will be a social affair, prob-
ably at the Country Club early in
December. As in the last- two

cial featured with old time coun-
try dances.

P&A^NED ACTION
once beyond comparison. Heavy East-West
military traffic flowed with ever-increasing
tempo over Southern Pacific's main line, and,
in order to speed up traffic which was re-
stricted by slow orders over the old bridge,
the progressive management of the Southern
Pacific proceeded with plans for a modern
high speed structure.
Great and endiiring things seldom happen
by chance. Only! through vision and planned
action can mail discover new and better
ways to serve. *
In pursuit of th&s policy. Southern Pacific
maintains a corlstant program of research
apd improvement ... seeking new ways to
better Southern Pacific's services to the trav-
eling public and tmO natioru
Future needs and expansion were anticipated
and the present bridge was built. Into the
building of this1 structure, 1390 feet in length,
went 18 months of labor by 300 men . . .
2700 tons of steel . . . 15,000 cubic yards of
concrete . . . and the combined knowledge
and conscientious effort of many of our na-
tion's most learned engineers. ^
Typical of the accomplishments of this pro-
gram is the new P/ecos River High Bridge,
recently built by tl\ie Southern Pacific at a
cost, of over one million dollars. This giant
structure spaps a g<prge having a depth of
321 feet below rail;£, located on the Pecos
River on SP's fametd trans-continental Sun-
set Route, New Orleans to California. It is
the third bridge to built by Southern Pa-
cific over this crosWng. Southern Pacific's
first Pecos River bipdge was a short, low
structure that, took grains miles out of their
way: in crossing. Letter, the development of
bettdr materials that ipould span deeper parts
of the river made pcfssible the building of a
larger bridge, complected in 1892, which saved
hf trackage and was at

By Garrett PTA
The Garrett PTA will meet on
Tuesday evening, November 19, at
3 p.m. in the school auditorium.
At this time they will present the
Texas Round-Up Gang.
An admission charge will be
made.
The Pecos River project is an outstanding
example of Southern Pacific's policy of con-
tinuous improvement through peace and
war. This program, pursued consistently in
the "retrenchment" days of 1930-35, resulted
in Southern Pacific's ability to meet the tre-
mendous military demands during World
War II. . . today, it enables Southern Pacific
to serve you with the finest, fastest, and most
dependable rail transportation in history.
