Tuesday, April 3, is the date

Despite the fact there will be
no face for the office of Mayor,

a two-year term last April, there
is expected to be considerable
interest in the forthcoming elec-
tion, since three councilmen will
be elected at that time for a
two-year term. •

Another wildcat has been
slated for King County, 17
miles southeast of Guthrie and
and four miles southeast of the
Ross Strawn reef lime pool. It
will be the No. 1 Moorehouse,

NEWUNETO
INCREASE CITY
WATER SUPPLY
Paducah’s water supply press-
ure should be increased by app-
roximately 30 per cent within
two or three weeks when install-
ation of four blocks of 8-inch
lines will be completed.
Maintenance crews under
supervision of City Water Super-
intendent Andrew Carroll have
this week completed laying four
blocks of 10-inch lines.
Barring unfavorable weather,
completion of the whole project
will be from two to three weeks,
Carroll said. New lines will deter
the water shortages experienced
during the past summers.
Traffic Violators
Harassed By Boy
Scouts, Saturday
Fines collected by Boy Scout
patrolmen totaled over $96 when
the sound of the last police
whistle had died, Saturday. From
10 a. m. to 5 p. m. the boys pat-
rolled every important intersect-
ion in Paducah. Money collected
went to their troop funds.
Scouts met at the city hall, an
hour before they took over, for
election of their city officers and
to be given the oath by W. S.
Heatly, city attorney.
Jimmy Culberson was elected
Mayor. Doyle Conner was elevat-
ed to the post of City Attorney
and Richard Wilson, Judge, to
round out the Scouts’ legal mach-
inery.
Seven patrols were then form-
ed by the boys and each assign-
ed to a certain area.
After a final admonishment
by Heatly “not to blow your
whistles promiscuously” and a
reminder by Scoutmaster C. C.
Prude they were still under the
scout law, the youthful officers
went to work and cracked down
on offenders until late in the
afternoon.

County Gets
Another Light
Shower, Sunday
Despite the fact, low, heavily-
laden clouds were prevalent for
several days last week-end, and
it appeared Cottle County could
not help but receive a good rain,
only 18-100 of an inch fell here
according to the gauge at A11L
son-Paschall Feed Store. •
The 18-100 of an inch received
Sunday, plus 27-100 recorded
February 20 helped considerably,
but a two or three inch rain is
badly needed over the county.

NOTES
Annual School
Census To Be
Taken This Month
The annual scholastic census
will be taken during the month
of March, according to School
Superintendent, Alton Farr.
A list of those persons who
will be engaged in taking the
census was printed in last
week’s Post.
Every child who will be be-
tween the ages of six and eigh-
teen years as of September 1,
1951, must be enumerated.
Supt. Farr pointed out the cen-
sus is very important to the
school district, since the schol-
astic population is the determ-
ining factor of the per capita
state educational aid the school
districts will receive.

PLANS SHAPING
FOR OPENING
SWUNG POOL'
Herbert Henry," Bill Heatly,
Wylie Boyle and E. A. Gordon
were in Wellington a few days
ago obtaining information as to
the type, cost and installation
of a water filter system at the
loqal swimming pool.
From the report the committee
brought .back the purchasing of
the purifying system and install-
ation would cost approximately
$3500.00. Another $2500.00 will be
needed to make needed repairs
on the disposal system, pool and
buildings, thus $6,000.00 must be
procured to place the pool in
operation.
Farm Federation
Plans Membership
Campaign Here
Plans for Texas’ Farm Bureau
Federation’s membership drive*
were laid at a meeting in the
courthouse, Tuesday night. Mar-
vin Carter, organization director
for the federation, was in charge.
Campaign workers will first
be solicited for the drive.
Delwin will be visited March
5 and Finney, March 7, in initial
steps to recruit workers.
The drive will get underway
after a kickoff supper, March 12.
Elbert Reeves, Matador, was
mentioned tentatively as speak-
er for the occasion.
Leon M. Lane, Field worker for
Texas Farm Bureau Federation,
will assist in the campaign.
Simular drives will be in pro-
gress throughout district 3.
A countywide meeting of
members will be held following
the membership campaign,
March 19. New officers will be
elected and constitution and by-
laws passed.
Cottle and King countians at
Tuesday’s meeting included: L.
L. Goodwin, J. M. Townley, Don-
ald Blount, Kenneth Moss, Peck
Young and G. J. Lane, county
agent.
Car License Tag
Sales Are Slow
Cottle car owners seem in no
rush to put on new 1951 license
tags. Only 281 have been sold,
according to Jack Robinson,
assistant tax collector.
Tags must be on all vehicles
subject to road tax before April
1. They may be put on if pur-
chased now, however.
Series for Cottle county this
year run from AL 8750 through
AL 9999 and from AM 10 through
749.
According to County Agent, G.
J. Lane and ACA Secretary, Rich-
ard Alexander, Cottle County’s
cotton acreage for 1951 will ap-
proach an all-time high, and
will be more than double the
cotton plantings in 1950.
Between 110,000 to 120,000
acres in the county will be
planted to cotton in 1951, Lane
said, in comparison with 51,000
in 1950. The county’s quota in
1950 was around" 57,000 acres,
but that figure was not reached.
Main reasons for the increase
in cotton acreage will be due to
several reasons such as price,
the fact farmers have been en-
couraged to plant more cotton
and dry weather will have a lot
to do with the increase, since
many wheat farmers have had
to plough-up wheat and will
turn to the cotton route.
Cultivated land in Cottle is
around 181,000 acres.
ANNUAL RED
CROSS DRIVE
OPENS TODAY
With the business, residential
and rural workers already ap-
pointed by fund raising chair-
man, Verne Jackson, the an-
nual Cottle-King Chapter Ameri-
can Red Cross membership drive
gets underway, today, Thursday,
March 1.
Most of the workers over the
two-county area have already
received their supplies, but those
committeemen who do not have
their work sheets are urged to
drop by the Jackson Tire Com-
pany and pick them up.
Due to the fact the opening
date for the Red Cross drive
falls on the first of the month,
the “all-out” drive to 'raise
funds will probably not get un-
derway before Friday or Mon-
day of next week, Mr. Jackson
stated.
The quo’ set to be raised
by the Cottle-King Chapter A
$1,531.00, but in speaking of
the drive, Verne Jackson, who
has headed the membership
drive the past twb years re-
marked, "I believe we can,
and will raise between $2,000
and $2,500."
Reports will be released by
the Paducah Post the next few
weeks on how much money has
been subscribed through the lo-
cal chapter.
Remember, “you don’t give to
the Red Cross—you give to your
fellowman through the Red
Cross.”
