A DAY IN CANYON
The Herald Editor intended to visit in
Canyon an hour or so Saturday, Oct. 21,
but it turned out that the entire day was
spent in the educational metropolis of
Morthwest Texas.
The new West Texas State College
Chapel was dedicated early that morning.
As so many Carson county people gave
so liberally to this fund, this writer deem-
ed it worthwhile to take the time to attend
the dedicatory services.
Dr. A. J. Hill, retired president of the
college, sponsored the chapel, which cost
$45,000 and is entirely paid for. More than
700 persons contributed to the chapel
fund.
Dr. Roy C. Snodgrass, dean of Brite
Bible College, Texas Christian University,
Fort Worth, made the dedicatory address.
As soon as this program wa& over, The
Herald man was watching the homecoming
parade. Shortly afterward this writer made
a quick inspection of the cases being in-
stalled in the Panhandle-Plains Museum
with Newton Harrell of Claude and Capt.
Winfield Holbrook of Plainview.
Then, there was the suggestion, “Just
as well go' to the barbecue." That home-
coming barbecue was the most efficiently
served this writer has ever attended. Ten
short serving lines were used and no one
had to wait more than a few minutes to
be served.
By the time the football game was over
in the afternoon, the sunlight hours were
just about gone. WSTC defeated Sam
Houston State College 39 to 18 in a non-
conference game for its sixth straight
victory of the season without a loss.
This contest reminded the writer of be-
ing around a game with the University of
Texas playing. The Buffaloes were held
scoreless in the first quarter for the first
time this season; once they were held on
the five-yard line. And those High Plains
fans became plain old wolves.
Coach Frank Kimbrough’s Buffaloes be-
gan gaining consistently and eventually
won by a decisive score to the delight of
the WTSC fans, alumni and students, who
were not so sure an hour or so previously.

The Panhandle Herald, Panhandle, Carson County, Texas
Reunion was held for the 25th anniver-
sary of the class of 1925, which has pro-
duced a number of citizens who have made
their mark in the world. Two graduates
are college presidents, one is a medical
doctor, another is a noted geologist, and
numerous persons have achieved much in
business and education. Nine are deceased.
Since the teachers colleges have expand-
ed their curriculum it is doubtless that such
a large percentage of present day grad-
uates enter the field of education. Many
of these graduates are known in Panhan-
dle, as they have lived here.
Among those widely known are: J. Ev-
etts Haley, Canyon, author; Dr. Bryant O.
Baker, Dallas; Dr. L. W. Blau, Houston,
geologist; Prof. Herschel Coffee, WTSC;
President F. D. Golden, Eastern New Mex-
ico University, Portales, and Mrs. Golden;
Prof. Olin E. Hinkle, University of Texas,
and former professor at WTSC and former
editor of the Pampa Daily News; Prof.
Mitchell Jones, dean of men, WTSC; Mrs.
Ruth Pearl Knight Word, Denton, former
teacher at Panhandle; Dr. Ruth Lowes,
WTSC, graduate of Panhandle High
School and daughter of a former Herald
Editor, Joe C. Lowes, deceased; Coach
Odus Mitchell, NTSC, Denton, and Presi-
dent Law Sone, Texas Wesleyan College,
Fort Worth, a former superintendent of
schools at Panhandle.
Visits in Canyon are usually made in
connection with the Panhandle-Plains His-
torical Society and museum, so it was a
pleasant change to look more at the col-
lege side of that city.

The magnetic nail picker of the Texas Highway Depart-
ment will arrive in this county soon to sweep the high-
ways and road shoulders in this area of metal objects.
P. S. Bailey, State Highway maintenance Engineer, points
out to John Nations, Director of the Equipment division,
the screws, nails, spikes and other metal collected on a
short run. Joe Webb of San Angelo is the driver.
DEMOCRATIC PARTY ON WAY
The Democratic party has various de-
grees of popularity, but it seems to be on
an upward swing at an appropriate time
just before the Nov. 7 general election.
When an outstanding GOP leader like
Senator Bob Taft of Ohio is predicted to
lose, it shows that the party is losing more
than ever the common touch with the
voters and people. Taft has been such an
outstanding GOP leader, it would seem
that he should be able to win time after
time.
But national polls show that the rank
and file believe the Republican party is
against the average citizen. In other words,
the Democratic party has become the
spokesman for the average citizen.
With this tendency evident nationally,
it behooves the 18th congressional district
to elect Walter E. Rogers to congress. He
will be able to get things done for the
district because he will be of the party in
charge of congress—and he will have the
backing of the administration headed by
President Truman, Speaker Sam Rayburn,
Senator Tom Connally and others.
It will be only a few days until the elec-
tion, so let s go to the polls and give a vote
of confidence to Gov. Allan Shivers, Ben
Ramsey for lieutenant governor, Price
Daniel for attorney general, Walter Rogers
for congress and other Democrats.

From where I sit... &y Joe Marsh
You Can't Build
A Better Mousetrap!
“They’re not the best-looking
boarders a man ever had,” Hack
Tu ner said one day, “and they’ve
got awful tempers. But I’ve found
it -3ays to have ’em around.”
Hack was talking about a fam-
ily cf barn owls, nesting in his silo
this year. Some folks believe those
little white-faced screechers kill
chickens—and ought to be shot on
sight. But Hack disagrees.
• “Up at State University they’ve
studied barn owls for years—and
never known one to eat a chicken.
Oi} the other hand, a daddy owl
will clean up around 300 mice a
month. Farmers that kill barn
owls are throwing away the best
mousetraps known to man! ”
From where I sit, when someone
shows a prejudice against any
group of animals or humans—-it’s
usually just based on misunder-
standing. For instance, some folks
are plumb intolerant about those of
us who enjoy an occasional quiet
glass of beer. Get to really know us
and you’re liable to find we’re
pretty good birds at that!

Carson Residents
Flock to Canyon
For Homecoming
Carson county residents by the
scores went to Dallas for the State
Fair and the Texas - Oklahoma
football game Oct. 14 and last
week-end there was another large
trek to Canyon, this time for
homecoming and the West Texas
State College-Sam Houston State
College game.
It was also the date for the
dedication of the $45,000 chapel
erected on the college campus
from donations by more than 700
persons. The class of 1925, mem-
bers of which formerly taught or
lived in Panhandle, was held.
Carson county was cited by Dr.
J. A. Hill, retired WTSC presi-
dent, for its work and liberality
in behalf of the chapel fund.
Regional bands directed by for-
mer WTSC students were guests
for the day. Director Charles Bell
had the Panhandle school band
at Canyon and participated in ai
joint program between halves at
the football game. The band also
was in the homecoming parade.

Skellytown IOOF
Has Cornerstone
Unveiling Of Hall
Odd Fellows and Rebekahs
Sunday, Oct. lu, gathered in Skel-
lytown to witness the unveiling
of the cornerstone in the IOOF-
Rebekah Lodge hall.
The building conceived a little
over a year ago, is a 36 by 100
foot, concrete blocks and steel
structure valued at more than
$12,000.
However, with donations of
money, materials and a lot of
labor, Fred N. Anderson, district
Deputy Grand Master, said the
three Linkers are going to get off
with about $5,000 for their new
home.
Before this time Skellytown Odd
Fellows and 'Rebekahs have been
holding their sessons in a little
frame building built from an old
hotel moved in several years ago.
But it was hardly adequate for
the two groups. They have out-
grown it.
The Odd Fellows, organized in
Skellytown Oct. «24, 1941, with
ten charter members, has multi-
plied several times and now the
men can boast of 151 paid up
members in good standing. The
Friday, October 27, 1950
women, starting with 17 members
in March, 1942, have boosted
their membership to over 90.
According to Anderson, master
of ceremonies, he couldn’t tell
exactly when the building would
be completed — the walls aren’t
quite finished and the steel beams
are still to be laid—but he hopes?
it will be \yithin 60 to 90 days, i
They started on the building aboutS
two months ago. A
They’re making plans for a
dedication service anyway.

LET’S QUIT MARKING TIME!
• The Panhandle needs a Congressman who
will STICK — and who will STAND UP for his district—
• It is only through seniority and experience
that he can give the Panhandle the representation it needs — and MUST HAVE, if all
our interests are to be protected.
• Our all-important agriculture, our industrial
development, the Canadian River dam, our rightful place in the Defense Program ... a
stabilized economy and a future offering continued prosperity — all of these DEMAND
that we send to Washington
• A DEMOCRAT
as our Congressman. Any other approach
is to ignore our own self-interests and to sleep on our rights. It is time to WAKE UP,
and to be realistic.
• WALTER ROGERS, our Democratic nomi-
nee, is mature, able and well-qualified. He offers balance and stability and is pledged
to fight for all the interests of our district.
• Let's quit wasting time!
VOTE FOR WALTER ROGERS
