Folks who grew up on ham
hock and beans with an oc-
casional slab of side meat are
a little slow to get around to
some of the finer things of
life.
Rattlesnake steak, for in-
stance.
Somebody must eat them
because stores which special-
ize in exotic foods put cans
of the stuff on their shelves.
The prices alone are enough
to kill a man's appetite.
East Texans are going to
be a while getting hungry for
rattlesnake steak. Or for fried
bees, chocolate-dipped ants, or
any of those other fancy vic-
tuals.
Chitterlings, maybe, or a
fat possum with sweet pota-
toes baked around it. They're
all right.
But that's good old country
fare that an effete easterner
would turn up his nose at.
He doesn't know any more
about what's good than he
does about what's good for
him.
An East Texan will dress up
his supper plate some but he
does it with sensible food.
He'll drip a little red-eye
gravy over a mess of black-
eyes boiled soppy and it gives
him a ^il that will stick to
hif*\
1 BJ gravy is not a cure-
s'/good on ham and pork
roast and salt meat, but on
beef, it's a little out of place.
Pore-sop, or sawmill gravy,
is better then.
Housewives now don't like
to take the time to prepare
such sure-enough nourishing
foods. They'd rather open a
can, let it sit on a burner a
few minutes, and then dump
it onto a. plate.
That habit doesn't rule out
the fancy fare. You can get it
in a can, too.
Read the small print on a
can and you'll find such treats
as these:
"Beef tripe, water, cereal,
beef lungs, beef hearts, beef
and pork snouts, beef spleens,
salt" and other flavorings.
Look a little closer and you
can find something with beef
hearts and beef cheeks, also.
Those things are included
in a can that East Texans buy
and eat pretty regularly.
But rattlesnake steaks and
fried bees? No sir-ree!

of deputy sheriff with an as-
signment to the north end of
Morris county.
He was hired after Jim
Presley was unable to contin-
ue to serve as constable for
reasons of poor health.
Norton's resignation left the
Naples precinct with neither a
constable nor deputy.
However, a successor was
to be chosen by Mrs. Helen
Howell, sheriff, Friday.

DAiNGERFIELD 13
.. traffic circle
No sign can be put at Dain-
gerfield indicating the route
to Naples because Naples is
not on Highway 26, highway
department employees say.
But Daingerfield is not on
Highway 338, which goes only
from Naples to Rocky Branch.
So — these two signs, both
at the intersection of High-
ways 338 and 67, point the
way to Daingerfield.
The signs are okay in this
case, the highway department
employees say, because Dain-
gerfield is the next incorpo-
rated town going that way.
All Naples wants is a sign —
a little old sign — showing
that it exists.

11, , as
interviewed on a Shreveport
television station Sunday eve-
ning.
Rumania has been occupied
both by the Nazis during
World War II and the Com-
munists since that time.
Princess Caradja's estate
was located near oil refiner-
ies where several bombing
raids took place during the
war.
Many American flyers crash-
ed there during the raids and
were taken to the POW camp.
She was able to help more
than 100 of them in 1943-44.
She operated an orphanage
for more than 3,000 children
until 1949 when the Commu-
nists took over and ordered
her to lea\e her home.
Princess Caradja is well
qualified to tell what life is
like under a Communist re-
gime as she had this experi-
ence for eight years before
escaping to the free world.
The Rev. Clifford Longino,
pastor of the Omaha church,
issued an invitation to every-
one in this area to attend the
service.
Boots and Saddle Club mem-
bers elected nine directors in
balloting in the last week.
The three who received the
highest number of votes will
serve for three years, the next
three for two years, and the
next three for one year.
Elected to three year terms
were Grady Betts, Ikey Harte
and J. M. Lasater. Winning
two year terms were Lewis
Rogers, Homer Cole and Jack
Vissering, and those with one
year terms are A. T. Brian,
Ed Thompson and Tommy
Coker.
All members of the club
were considered nominees and
were eligible to receive votes.
The directors will meet at
5 p.m. Saturday at the office
of J. M. Lasater and elect of-
ficers to serve for one year.
The full membership will
meet at 8 p.m. next Monday
night, Oct. 16, at Bohannan's
Cafe.
The trades day drawings
will be resumed here if a
majority of the merchants
want it.
A canvas will be made and
merchants will be asked to
vote their sentiments on the
trade promotion.
They'll be asked (1) if they
lavor resuming the drawings
for money and (2) if they will
agree lo participate for a peri-
od of six months if a majority

The promotion died last
year because a large number
of merchants dropped out or
did not give out the tickets to
their customers.
The proposal to canvas tbp

Brakmas
DeKalb here Friday
The Pewitt Brahmas play
another key game Friday
night on their home field.
The DeKalb Bears, who
are virtually eliminated from
the District 13AA title pic-
ture, will come here for the
Brahmas' second conference
game.
The Bears will be one of the
strongest teams Pewitt has
faced this year. Thev tied the
Daingerfield Tigers, and have
lost conference games to Lib-
erty-Eylau and Clarksville.
Pewitt won over Clarksville
in its only district game this
season.
A capacity crowd is expect-
ed to see the game. All re-
serve seats are sold in ad-
vance.
Pewitt went out of the con-
ference last Friday night and

Scoring salute..
The Pewitt Brahmas score and the fireworks
start. Doc Smith of Marietta, Pewitt school
bus driver, Brahma booster, and an unofficial
coach of a sort, has rigged up a cannon to fire
when Pewitt makes a touchdown. It got a
good workout last Friday night at Linden-Kil-
dare. It belches a cloud of white smoke and
startles unsuspecting spectators. Smith has
just fired the contraption in the picture above.

lo 23.
Linden-Kildare went to the
air in an effort to break the
Brahmas' undefeated record.
The Tigers threw 25 passes
and completed 11 of them for
200 yards. They made only
77 yards on the ground.
Pewitt gained 266 ground

The Tigers scored first on
a 12-yard pass but the Brah-
