Cats Drop Verdict
To Warriors, 7-6,
In District Start
By CLARKE KEYS
Early defensive lapses put Sulphur Springs in a
deep hole Tuesday night and the Wildcats lost their
opening District 6-AAA baseball game at Bonham 7-6.
The defeat overshadowed some hitting heroics
by senior second baseman Billy Cromer.
Cromer lashed out singles in the first, third and
fifth innings, setting up two runs, then cracked a
bases-loaded, two-out triple in the sixth frame to
pull Sulphur Springs into a 6-6 tie.

Consumer* have been vic-
timized by the practice of some
manufacturers in placing un-
realistic and excessively high
“pretieketed” retail prices on
their merchandise thus permit-
ting retailers to make the false
claim that they are offering
a cut-price, bargain. The Fed-
eral Trade Commission has re-
cently ordered some firms to
discontinue misleading the pub-
lic with these non-existent
bargains.
Moonlighting or the holding
of two jobs by one worker, is
frowned upon by some ecom-
ists who think jobs should be
rationed, but most dual job-
holders work relatively few
hours at their second jobs, and
research has developed that
| only a very small portion of
1 the unemployed are interested
! in the type of work found in
j the supplemental job culegory.
Also, enterprising Americans
should not be denied the op-
portunity to improve their eco-
nomic condition to the best of
their abilities and energies.

Red .River Army Depot: This
facility, located at Texarkana,
is vitally important to our local

than many people realize. The
depot has over 4,000 civilian

civilian and military, is more

There are almost 160 buildings
on its 35,000 acres, all of
which is valued at about $70
million. Close to 10,000 acres
are planted in pine seedlings.
Each month, the depot does
$235,000 worth of business

Cliff Dwellers
Puzzles Solved
By Scientists
Washington — A disaster
not unlike the Dust Bowl of
the depression probably drove
mysterious Indians from their
mesas and cliff homes in the
American Southwest about A.
D. 1300.
At last a picture is shaping
about the vanished Anasazi of
Wetherill Mesa, Colo. Surpris-
ingly, they built apartments
with p r e f abricated mortar
blocks, had indoor latrines, ate
plants now missing from the
mesa, tamed turkeys, and
drank from ceramic mugs that
would not seem out of place
in any modern gift shop. Also,
though archeologists intend no
implication, the vanished peo-
ples smoked cigarets.
The Anasazi story did not
come in dazzling revelation
from any newly u n e a r thed
scrolls, stela, or records. It is
the sum of a five-year study,
by the National Park Service
and National Geographic So-
ciety, of tree rings, charcoal,
shards, soil, pollen, bones, fe-
cal matter, and other clues.
Dr. Douglas Osborne, direc-
tor of the Wether ill Mesa
Archeological Project, tells in
the National Geographic about
“Solving the Riddle of Wether-
ill Mesa.’
The Park Service scientist's
article, which unfolds like a
detective story, is illustrated
with more than a hundred col-
or photog raphs, paintings,
drawings, maps,( and details
of artifacts. A special port-
folio of pictures demonstrates,
as Dr. Osborne points out,
that “in sunny pueblos far to
the south, almost i d e n t ical
artifacts show that many of
the ways, if not the blood of
the cliff dwellers, survive to
this day.”
Wetherill Project experts
called on 28 different sciences
to explore the mysteries of the
mesa, a part of Color ado'*
Mesa Verde National Park, one
of tiie great outdoor museums
of the world. Some of Wether-
Hl’a ruins eventually will be
open to visitors.
Explains Dr. Osborne: “We
archeologists can find out
what was here. But we have
to range into other fields to
find out why it was here —
gnd then, why, suddenly it
was not”
Tree rings indicate drought.
The project uncovered new evi-
dence that severe water (and
possibly wind erosion may
have made life hopeless for an
Indian farmer in the 1200’s.

For Action
Comment — The East Tex-
a Lions will journey to Monroe
Saturday with one week to go
before the Lone Star Confer
ence track meet to the North-
east Louisiana Invitational.
The Lions, who were idle
last week, met Northeast Louis-
iana in the All - College meet
Mar. 7, and the Louisianians
won the meet by a slim two
points, 76-73, after reshuffling
of the points for third place
finish of the 440-yard dash.
Although there will be oth-
er good track teams in the Mon-
roe meet, Northeast and East
Texas figure to battle for the
title. “Northeast is awfully
strong, especially in the 440
and 880 - yard dashes and the
field events,” says Lion coach
Delmer Brown.
Northeast Louisiana set a
new 440-yard relay meet re-
cord with 41.7 in the All-Col-
lege meet. East Texas, with
the fcAirsome of R. L. Lasater,
Steve Sartor, Ronnie McNeill
and Morris Kyser, established
a new meet record in the mile
relay the same afternoon with
a time of 3:15.1.
East Texas was second in
the 440 and Northeast was
second on the mile relay. East
Texas has since done 41.7 in
the sprint relay and 3:12.8 in
the mile relay.
Russell Polbemus, husky 210-
pound sophomore, will be the
top Lion competitor in field
events Saturday. Polhemus had
little trouble in winning the

meet, but in the discus, Gary

a herd of 49 adult deer were

This herd has now increased to
the limit of the carrying ca-

and hunting have been author-

tions. The depot has always
been managed with great effic-

Nov. 8. But the only way to
be certain you have some say
in who is elected president
next fall is to become one of
the 10 per cent in each politi-
cal party to participate in a
precinct convention.
These conventions in the
state’s 6,000 voting precincts
will be held on Saturday.
To take part in a precinct
convention, you must first be-
come a “qualified member” of
a party by voting in the primary
Saturday. The election judge
will stamp “Republican” or
“Democrat” on your poll tax
receipt This qualifies you to
attend the precinct convention.
There, a delegate for each
26 votes cast in the precinct
for your party’s 1962 candi-
date for governor will be elect-
ed to the May 9 county con-
vention.
At that convention, county
delegatee to state conventions
to be held on June 16 snd Sep-
tember 15 will be elected. Meet-
ing in June will select and in-
struct delegates to the na-
tions! conventions. Also, at that
time, candidates for presidential
elector will be selected.
September meeting will write
a party platform and select
state executive committee
which runs your party’s affairs
between conventions.
To put it briefly: When you
go to the precinct convention
you elect the county delegate,
who elects. the state delegate,
who electa the presidential
elector, who then elects the
president.

The flying sour was origi-

ecutive director, Dr. R. G. Gar-
rett, who felt that anyone rep-
resenting animal health inter-

come well-acquainted with the
fever tick problem at the bor-
der, and understand the screw-
worm eradication program by
seeing its operation first hand.

—S even samples of acrew-
worma were confirmed in
March by state and federal

ure this is an indication of
phenomenal success of the

come to about 8,000 acrew-

POODLE’S CHICK
Fremont, Neb. IP —- Mrs.
Robert C. Perry of Fremont,
the mother of seven children,
says friends, who didn’t think
she had enough to do, gave her

and put it to the canal carry-
ing water from the lake to the
city reservoir.
Trostle called George Neeley
to check the report. Neeley
called G. V. Holamon, after
hie inspection, and asked help
in removing a 25-foot tree ly-
ing serose the canal at right
angles.
The two tugged at the tree
but couldn't budge it.
The next morning they re-
turned withe bulldoser. To
their amazement, the entire

downstream, the top ahead.
Beavers, they decided. Only
heaven could plan and executo
the fall eo precisely and push
the entire tree into the water,
They looked eloeer at the
stump and it appeared that
heaven’ teeth had cut the tree.
The area of the remaining
stump waa tracked well by lit-
tle feet.
More small trees nearby also
had be«n cut down and placed
in the top of the larger, float-
ing tree.
What the beaven didn't un-
derstand is the canal's concrete
lining. They apparently expect-
ed the loaded branches of the
tree ti snap on the sides of the
stream, giving the heavers a
baas on which to build a dam.
But their key tree simply
floated downstream.

structed seven) dams on Willie

built the dams almost table
high, just tall enough for wa-

The tree finally was hauled

a dam would upset the water
