Check Your Compass
Before leaving home be sure
to check your pocket compass
so that in an emergency you
can quickly locate the four
compass points.
When in strange surround-
ings it is easy to become con-
fused as to which end of the
compass points North.
Since North and South are
painted different colors on
most compasses, it is wise be-
fore going afield to mark on
the back of instrument which
color represents North.
***
Air Mattress Holes
Small holes in cloth-covered
air mattresses are virtually
impossible to locate.
Try washing your mattress
with soapy water. Then when
scrubbed with a stiff brush,
even the smallest leaks will
start to bubble.

Editor’s note — Fol-
lowing is the fourth and
final in a series of ar-
ticles outlining prospects
of football teams in dis-
trict 24-AA for the com-
ing season.
You can circle Nov. 4
and put a notation “Wild-
cat Stadium” beside it.
Although the regular
season stretches a week
beyond that date, the dis-
trict 24-AA championship
and a berth in the state
football playoffs will like-
ly be decided that night
when Dayton comes to
Wildcat Stadium.
On the way back to foot-
ball prominence, the Bron-
cos are expected to field
their best club in at least
four years this fall after
a dry spell that spread in-
to every part of the Day-
ton athletic program.
Coach Kenneth Almond
inherited the remnants
from a winless 1964 squad
when he took over the head
job at Dayton last fall.
After a slow start, he
herded the Broncs to a
4-5-1 season with a 2-2-1
district mark.
And things look abun-
dantly better at this stage
for the coming campaign.
Almond has 10 starters
back — a couple of both-
ways players, five defen-
sive starters and three of-
fensive regulars.
The Broncs are general-
ly credited with the best
defense, on paper, in the
league. And with three of-
fensive backfield starters
back, they should be able
to move the ball.
Defensive stalwarts in-
clude senior end Robert
Thornton, 170; senior tack-
le Greg Bell, 210; senior
guard David Barrett, 194;
senior guard Bobby Gar-
rett, 215; senior halfback
Bobby Faulkner, 161; senior
halfback Ralph Hood, 136;
and junior halfback Tinker
Hewitt, 152.
Faulkner and Thornton
were both-ways starters
last fall.
On offense, Almond wel-
comes back senior tackle
Doug Butcher, 175; senior
fullback Frank Gajdosik,
180; and senior quarter-
back Randy Wilson, 155.
The both-ways players,
Thornton and Faulkner, a-
long with Gajdosik draw
highest prise from Almond.
Gajdosik is ranked along
with Humble’s Charlie
Lindsey as the standout
backs in the league at this
point.
Almond will stick with
the wing T formation on
offense.
He picks his Broncs,
Humble and Anahuac as the
best in the district, Hum-
ble for its depth and ex-
perience, Anahuac for its
depth and size and Dayton
for its experience.
All of this trio, he be-
lieves, have a good shot
at the district title.
If there is a weak link,
Almond believes his Bron-
cos may be shy on speed
and depth, but can point
to “strength, quickness and
the desire of athletes.”
In non-district play,
Dayton will go against
Buna, Hull-Daisetta, Li-
berty, Livingston, East
Chambers and Woodville.
Assistant coaches at
Dayton are Jack Harris,
Bruce Pruett, Louis Cave-
ness and Alex Sanchez.

in better laundries...
natural gas
makes the
BIG difference (costs less, too)
rr
Ever wonder why professionally laundered clothes look so sno wyw hite? Smell
or the bleachesflBut the professional laundry owner knows better. Much of it
is in the hot, hot water (heated by gas, of course) and the gentle drying process
(gas dryers, naturally.) Next time you talk to your laundryman, ask him. Next
time you visit a do-it-yourself laundry, notice that they’re heating the water
and operating the dryers with gas. Natural gas makes the big difference. Does
the big jobs a lot better. Costs less, too. Do you have a gas water heater and
dryer m your home ?
