Suzanne and Rob our grand-
children showed us places nor-
mal eight and six year old chil-
dren want to visit when they
spend a week-end in Dallas.
After registering in a Dallas
hotel last Friday evening we
visited the John F. Kennedy
Memorial. This marker erected
near downtown Dallas com-
memorates the spot where Pres-
ident John F. Kennedy was as-
sassinated during a motorcade
on Nov. 22 19G3. The inscrip-
tions had to be read to the
vnuncrsters. The window of the
Texas School Book Depository
(from which the assassin shot)
had to be nointed out.
Saturday morning we visited
the State Fair Park. There we
visited the Cotton Bowl Stadium
which seats 75504 fans for ma-
jor collegiate and professional
football fans. Of course our
grandson Rob insisted we
make this stop.
Suzanne suggested a visit to
the Historical Wax Museum.
Amazingly life like figures of
some of those who gave Texas
a colorful background were on
exhibit. Some of these were:
the President and Mrs. Lyndon
B. Johnson the late President
and Mrs. John F. Kennedy Gov-
ernor and Mrs. John Connally
Stephen F. Austin Sam Hous-
ton Davy Crockett Billy the
Kid Bat Masterson Geronimo
James Bowie Col. Travis the
James Brothers the Dalton
Brothers and Sam Bass.
In the Texas ports Hall of
Fame we saw pictures of many
of those who excelled in sports
in recent years .such as Kyle
Rote Doak Walker Sammy
Baugh Ben Hogan Babe Did-
rikson Zaharias John Kim-
brough and many others.
The Midway which includes
33 permanent rides seemed like
a ghost street compared to the
hustle and bustle of the fall
when the nation's largest an
nual State Fair is held on these
same grounds. Millions of peo-
ple tread the Midway streets
each year during the month of
October.
After having lunch we head-
ed for the Six Flags Over Tex-
as amusement park which is
located between Dallas and Fort
Worth. Fun rides are blended i
with the colorful history of
Texas in this huge recreational
park which draws several mil-
lion visitors each year.
The six sections of the park
are devoted to Texas' colorful
past under the flags of Spain
France Mexico the Republic
the Confederacy and the United

Dog Poisoners
Strike Again
To whom it may concern:
Dog poisoning has started
once again and it may not be
dogs orte day who get the
poison. There are' quite a few
children living in this town.
To me dog poisoning is un-
kind brutal and inhuman. So
I wish people would think be-
fore they do it.. I wduld.Bure
hate to see some" child fget wh'at
a dog did this week. "-'
A dog like any othor animal
doesn't know when meat or
anything else is filled with poi-
son. We have this every' year here
and I wish "whoever it may con-
cern" would think of not only
dogs they poison biit also the
children that run around 'and
play. You can always replace a
dog but our dear cttUdirtxjf cun
never be replaced. lfot
