Meetings Reveal
Unusual Activity
In City Recently
Meetings of the Chamber of
Commerce and the city commission,
Tuesday evening and Tuesday aft-
ernoon, in the order mentioned,
revealed unusual activity iu Breck-
enridge during the past few
months.
In the city commission meeting
it was revealed that since January
1 jo44,00tl worth of building per-
mits have been issued and this did
not include the courts on the west-
ern edge of the city, as they were
not within the city limits at the
time. No comparison with other
years is available as this is the
first year the city has sold permits.
At the meeting of the board of
directors of the Chamber of Com-
merce activities of the year were
reviewed iu which progress far
and above other years was reveal-
ed, and it was added that this has
been done with less operating funds
than in other years. The program
tor the remainder of the year was
discussed.
Low funds caused a discussion
of membership dues structure
which may lead to the setting up
of a new dues paying standard,
one used by many other Chambers
of Commerce.
Report received from W. M.
Mosley was that 17 blocks of pav-
ing have been installed since April
1 and nine more aie under way.
Future activities discussed were
teachers appreciation day banquet,
oil program week, and the Christ-
mas program. Eleven of the 2<>
board members were present.
In the city council meeting ap-
proval was given to join tile coun-
ty iu purchashing a two-way radio

Breck Musician
Tells Of Course
At Arts Colony
A phrase from a well known
melody says "There is music in the
air" and such was certainly the
case at the Inspiration Point Fine
Arts Colonny where Bobby Brooks,
1955 Breckenridge High School
graduate, spent six weeks this sum-
mer.
The local musician, who plans I"
enter Ranger Junior College this
tall on a full music scholarship,
attended the seventh annual su.ti-
mer camp on a part scholarship
presented by the Breckenridge Fine
Arts Club, a part scholarship from
the colony itself, and with tile help
of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. A.
Brooks of 1304 West Third.
Brooks was the solo cornet play-
er for the symphony orchestra di-
rected by Julius Ht-gyi, director -o"
the Chatanooga Symphony, fomer
director of the Abilene Symphony.
The funds in the Fine Arts Schol-
arship presented to the Breck mu-
sician were raised ill part as a
benefit musical presented by M .
Hegyi and his wife here early
this year.
The Inspiration Point Colony is
located seven miles from Eureka
Springs Arkansas, and is only fif-
teen miles from the Missouri bor-
der. It is built around the shell ot
a castle, which a German had built
at the cost of $80,000 because tli -
country reminded him of his home
country. The boy.-, attending the
colony are housed in converted
tourist courts and the girls lived
in ;i remodeled barn. The "Point"
as it is known is now owned e/
t'hillips University in. Oklahoma
and is rented out the remainder
the summer for other types of
camps and gatherings.
A total of 85 students compose
tilt- orchestra and the opera work-
shop of the colony and were select-
ed from seven states, Arkansas,
Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Mis-
souri, Illinois and Texas. There are
15 on the music faculty.
Brooks said that the orchesL.-a
had sessions in the morning and
afternoon in addition to winti, reed
a n d string section rehearsals.
Each Sunday the musicians we:e
carried by bus into Eureka Springs
wnere tney attended tne church . t
their choice, most of them singing
in the choirs. Sunday afternoons
tne orchestra presented a conceit
at the Point and then on Wednes-
day nights they presented one in
Eureka Springs, in addition to tlu-
several trips to nearby cities were
matle to present conceits. 1 tie op-
era worksnop group made a uu:"-
ber of overnignt tours to towns <n
Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri.
The members of the fine aiii,
colony still had time tor recreation

day was free of lessons and w is
generally the day to do the was.
*' I'he boys learned quickly il you'd
carry a girl into town Monday loi
a movie, she'd be willing to do your
ironing."
In summing up the trip and stay-
in the colony the local musician
said that he would always be grate-
ful to the Fine Arts Club here
tor the scholarship which enabled
him to attend the point "where
everyone shared the same comnn n
interest—music." H e continued

tile doit-gules discussed issu-'si
w hich pel tain to the youth of to-
day.
According to Miss Hunger the
House uot mto a heated discussion
on whether or not eighteen year
olds should be allowed to vote and
that finally the bill had to be
discardi-d because of a deadlock.
A bill was passed in the Gil is
meeting to tile effect that Arling-
ton State College should be made,
a four vear school. One of tile
most heated bills dealt- with tile
proposal to I inil a uniform system
of electing delegates to attend thfj
annual Girls State am! this too was
stalemated, while another bill t.ie
teenage law hotly passed was"
to seek ii peinimaiient home tot'
Girls State.
Ilauiels thanked the local Lions
for making it possible for him to
attend the Boys State, meetig
which was held at the I'nivei'sity
of Texas saying that ft proved to at:
oi I the highlights ot his li.e,
hi then quippt-u. But I believe after
healing I,unlit talk the club made
one mistake, they should have sent
me to Girls Stale and Linda to the
boys meetings."
Daniels gave a brief sketch of
the schedule for each day of the
boys seven da) meeting and said to
linn the highlight oi the entire
week was ii speech bv John Ben
Sheppertl. Most of the boys ses-
sions were held in Butts Audi-
torium on the TI campus and the
political party to which Daniels
was assigned also met in the audi-
torium from early in the morning
until noon and from supper until
ten in the evenings.
This led the l!HX senior to quip,
"After every meal it was back to
llatts aiill nearly drove us batty.,,
In a more serious veoin he stat-
ed that the trip to the state capitol
and a visit with State Supreme
Court Chief Justice Hickman, for-
merly of Breckenridge were things
he will long remember.
The two delegates told the club
that Breckenridge sent five girls
anil eight hoys to the state meet-
ings and that the local group at
the boys meetings was the largest
delegation from any town in the
state.
Mrs. Harold Thomas and Mrs.
