lege, and further s tudy in the
Texas University.
Prior io 1934 he was a machin-
ist for the T&P Railway Company
at Fort Worth. In May of that
year he moved to Breckenridge
taking up the position he now has.
"I find few problems in my pro-
fession; it never has a depression
or .1 letdown. It continues to pro-
gress because boys are easer for
this kind of work," was a state-
ment made by Mr. Hallauer con-
cerning his profession.
Mr. Hallauer became a regular
member of the Lions Club in De-
cember, 1935.
Fishing and boating prove good
recreation to Mr. Hallauer as well
