After having established that
the house into which the Wil-
liam Seider family was alleged
to have moved was vacant and
had been vacant for some time,
the Texas Education Agency,
pointed out that what had been
presented to It and to the Mills
County School Board as reason
for a Priddy duplication of
Goldthwaite School bus route
.number-8 did not exist.. It did
propose grading of a hill on a
comparatively new road In the
Mt. Olive area so that the
Priddy bus could pick up child-
ren of the Roberts and Ridge-
way families without encroach-
ing on Goldthwaite territory.
No formal action, at least,
wps taken on that suggestion
when the Mills County Commis-
sioners’ Court met last Monday.
The matter had not been refer-
red to the Court by the County
School Boprd which, as the'

Minister Fry was Principal of

The course of his career was
altered, Minister Fry says, be-
cause of the profound Influence
on his life of his father, a de-
vout Christian, and because so
many of his close friends pre-
vailed upon him to devote him-
self exclusively to religious
work.

tion. If constructed now, these

Waterways‘are the vital link of
the terraces system and should
be In good ^condition before
emptying terraces Into them.
• A number of farmers co-
operating with the District have
had success with their water-
ways. Edwin Drueckhammer of
very much had happened. He
grinned happily, however, and
so did his parents.
Dana's Gtrimd , Champion will
compete, according to present
plans, at the Houston Fat
Stock Show while Bob Parker's
Reserve Champion will be ex-
hibited at the Southwestern
Exposition and Fat Stock Show
at Fort Worth.
