Midgets Undefeated
-Too Much P. D.
Clifton Midget ball club had a
narrow escape in keeping its
record undefeated Tuesday night
against the Young Grocery team of
Waco; but the Clifton youngsters
won in an extra inning game 5 to 4.
It was a case of too much P.D.
Wallace for the visitors, who was
ably assisted by his teammates.
Young Wallace knocked two home
runs to keep the Clifton team in
the game after an erratic start and
kept the Waco visitors striking out
with regularity.
Waco scored its first run on a
ground ball which took a bad hop
and got away for a home run. The
others came from walks and try-
ing to catch base runners off base,
the ball getting away. Wallace’s
second home run tied the score in
the last innittg; in the eighth Ken-
neth Gene Nelson reached third
on a walk and passed balls; then
Bobby Lane Ibit a nice one which
the third baseman fielded, but it
pulled ,him out of position to cut
off the.winding run in home.
Friday
The Clifton Midgets will play one
of Waco’s strongest teams, the
Pure Milk Co. Team, at the City
Park in Cliffon Friday night at 8
p.m.

Both issues which were before
the citizens of Clifton in the bond
election Wednesday passed with
good margins; vote for the sewer
and drainage proposition (No. 1
on the ballot) carried 197 to 104;
the water extension issue (No. 2
on the ballot) carried by a vote of
214 to 86.
Considerable interest had been
Town to Receive
Spraying of DDT
The flys and mesquitoes, which
have been noticeably bad of late,
will receive a dose of DDT early
next week—probably Monday or
Tuesday evening.
Joe Enochs, Clifton theatre own-
er, has donated the DDT and has
arranged for the use of the fogging
machine from his former home
town of Granbury.
The machine will create a heavy
fog which should penetrate most
every place one finds flies or mes-
quitoes. It is the understanding of
the Record editor that home owners
should leave their windows and
doors open to permit the fog to
enter the homes in order to kill
any flies, mesquitoes or insects
which might be in the homes. It is
harmless to furniture and humans.
It is not known definitely that
flies and mesquitoes carry polio,
but those towns which have used
DDT and the fogging machine have
noticed a decline in polio, where it
had been bad before the fogger.
CJC Withdraws From
Conference Football
Clifton Jr. College representa-
tives this week stated that the
college had withdrawn from the
Junior College conference in foot-
ball because of the expense in-
volved.
The college plans to have a foot-
ball team with Coach Pat McLcad
coaching. Five games had been sche-
aroused over {he issue and there
was more talk pro and con on the
bond issues this week in Clifton
than on the election candidates last
Saturday.
For a city issue, the turnout of
over 300 at . the polls Wednesday
was relatively heavy.
One of the things that has made
Clifton an attractive place to live in
over the years has been the pro-
gressive spirit of its citizenship.
Throughout its history the people
here have voted time and again
for city improvements. This they
believe is another step in keeping
Clifton out in front as a town they
can proudly call their home town.
Passage of city improvement
bonds requires a simple majority.
Support Price
Given On Grain
Will C. Pallmeyer, Chairman of
the County Committee says farms
in Bosque County will be able to
obtain price support protection on
wheat, oats, and grain sorghum
this year.
Wheat, U. S. No. 1 will be sup-
ported at $2.04 per bushel.
Oats will be supported at 77c
per bushel.
1950 grain sorghum will be sup-
ported at $1.90 per hundred.
Loans and purchase agreements,
as in 1949, will be used in carrying
out the 1950 program. Mr. Pall-
meyer points out that the level at
which price supports for oats and
grain sorghum is set takes into
consideration the feed value, price,
demand, and other relationships
among these grains and between
them and corn, the major feed
grain. For grain sorghums, the
relationships are largely to com
produced outside the commercial
corn area, since practically all of
the grain sorghums are produced
there. Corn acreage allotments do
not apply in the non-commercial1
area, and corn price supports there
are directed by law at 67.5 per cent
duled prior to the decision of Hills- c . o iayw
u!™ offieials to dis‘ of'pa'rityTcom"support" prices'are
at 90 per cent of parity within the

Junior college football has be-
come considerably commercialized,
as other college football; the ex-
pense of operating a team in the
conference has run the Clifton Jr.
College athletic fund deep into the
red.
The CJC football teams the past
several years have had a number
of outstanding stars and the boys
have accounted for themselves in
fine shape considering the lack of
reserve strength and the fast com-
pany in which they were playing.
Lionism Subject
At Tuesday’s Lunch
C. G. Bronstad gave the Lions
Club a sincere talk on “Lionism”
Tuesday at the regular luncheon
meeting; he pointed out the ob-
jects and creed of the Lions Club,
something that,the members some-
times forget.
Regret was expressed at the loss
of two members, R. G. Pearce by
death, and Clint Hennig because
of change of address. The club vot-
ed to advise the Alvin Lions Club of
Jthe able member Mr. Hennig had
proved to be in Clifton.
The club voted to defray ex-
penses of posting the election re-
turns Saturday.
Visitors present to enjoy the'fine
dinner served by the Trinity Lu-
theran ladies were Rev. Allen Nel-
son of Roland, Iowa, Charles Ken-
nedy Jr. of Dallas, Ernest Draper
of Gatesville, and Roy Moffett of
Clifton.
J. W. Blewett Jr. became a new
commercial area.
