There’s an old saying that some-
thing is wrong with people who
don’t like pets—but we’ll turn that
around and say there is something
wrong with people who don’t like
trees and won’t plant more of them.
A sight to behold is the persim-
mon tree at the back door of the
Bill Scoggin home. Many bushels
of orange colored fruit as large as
apples hang on the tree. The only
thing wrong—you have to pucker
to eat the fruit.
The banana trees around the
swimming pool at Howard Grooms
have grown by leaps and bounds
this summer and are about 8 feet
above the fence. Since the
Grooms can grow these trees, why
can’t other people in Rocksprings
plant them?
Mimosa trees are scattered here
and there about town. Mrs. L. E.
Jones and the Browns at the Mesa
Courts have several started and
the Orville Cowscrts have two
large specimens of these lovely,
lacy trees.
The sumac at the corner of the
hospital is beginning to turn into
fall colors of orange, red and
brown. This native shrub is also
seen along the highways to Junc-
tion and Barksdale.
Bougavillas are in bloom at
Mrs. Ed Matthews’ and also at
Mrs. Jones. These arc beautiful
vines, but there is a trick to the
trade in getting them to bloom.
They do better potted so the roots
can mat up, which will make them
bloom instead of going to too
much vine.
The dahlia bed at the J. P. Kings
has provided beautiful blossoms all
summer and fall, and has been es-
pecially enticing to deer, who have
sneaked in during the night hours
to snip off a tasty blossom. Two
big bucks and a doe were seen in
this block the other night.
Deer are not the only animals
that like night life in Rocksprings.
A great big polecat is making his
home in the neighborhood of the
waterworks plant. He rambles
around among the homes like he
is a pet—but this is one pet that
won’t be welcome at any time.
But returning to the subject of
trees, let’s plant more trees, shrubs
and roses and now is the time to
start planning and planting. Quite
a few yards are looking shabby and
a neat trim before winter will make
the whole town look better.
GIVE OUR SCHOOL
CHILDEN TAX LESSONS
Texas taxpayers of tomorrow
should file the most accurate Fed-
eral income tax returns to date,
according to Gregg C. Waddill of
Houston. Mr. Waddill is chairman
of the Texas Society of Certified
Public Accountants’ committee on
cooperation with educational insti-
tutions.
"Texas CPAs, 3,000 strong, will
help — when possible — high school
and college teachers in 1,500 Tex-
as schools, give Internal Revenue
Service’s Teaching Taxes courses”,
Mr. Waddill said.
Two Federal tax courses are
available: a general course for city
students, another for their farming
and ranching cousins. Teaching
Taxes kits may be ordered, with-
out charge, from Internal Revenue
district offices in either Austin, or
Dallas.
MERRY HEARTS AND

It was guest day for the Merry
Heart Club, Wednesday afternoon,
at the Park Building and a most

for the occasion.

Land this summer and while show-
ing the slides, he gave a narration

Jesus ministry around Galilee. He
also illustrated with pictures drawn
by the English missionary and au-
thor, Miss Wood.
Arrangements of pyacanthea ber-
ries made colorful notes in the re-
ception room. The tea table had
copper appointments from which
were served hot punch and tea,
cakes and nuts.

The Craig Family.
Ray Futch and Curtis Knobels-
dorf of Houston were in Rock-
springs, Saturday and were among
the crowd viewing the panther kill-
ed on the Gilmer Ranch. The two
men had come to Edwards County
to get their hunting camp ready
on the Jack Grafa Ranch. The
ranch has been leased to the same
group of 10 hunters since 1954. Mr.
Knobelsdorf is in the insurance
business and Mr. Futch is with the
Green Chevrolet Company. Mr.
Futch formerly lived in Florida,
and had seen several panthers kill,
ed in the everglades, hut these
were smaller than the Edwards
County specimen and were black.

When the day comes that the
U. S. dollar is a weak currency,
and when devaluation and inflation
follow one upon another, to a con-

of the U. S. will be ebbing, and
we will have frittered away a
sound dollar and much of our
power. The wild spenders should
keep this in mind in their efforts
to arrange for the government to
furnish every taxpayer with every-
thing he needs.
