COUNTY JUDGE ^5
Erath County
G. D. (Bob) Collett and a group
of Houston sportsmen are conduct-
ing an Inspiring conservation pr©-
jgl •’ 'T;
Collett and friends have learned
the true spirit necessary to pre-
serve the traditional sports of
hunting and fishing. When any of
their group has tpen given per-
mission by s fancier to hunt quail
on his lapd, they «fre hack the
next day with the pxact number
of live quail to replenish the pre-
vious day’s take.
. Members of this group have been
raising quail just for n*e in re-
placing those which they killed in
pursuit of their favorite sport.
Whenever a hunter has a good
day on any farmer’s land, he may
take that many live quail from the
club’s stock to restock his bene-
factor’s land. T
This ia one of the finest con-
servation projects we have ever
heard about, Sad it deserves the
praise and admiration of every
If this spirit ©f conversation
existed with all sportsman across
the nation, America would soon
represent a happy hunting ground
for all.
There is nothing afcoat this ad-
n#*He project that would pre-
vent o‘her hunting md fishing
dubs from adopting it. It h
unlimited possibilities that can ap-
ply to both game and fish.
Bob Collett and his group of
sportsman have demonstrated be-
yond question that the preservation
of hutting and fishing can .pr
accomplished through proper con-
servation.
While nothing would seem more
conspicuous than a full-grown
moose, these huge animals ean
travel unseen and unr*ported hun-
dreds of miles from the nearest
known moose range.
And sometimes they emerge at
the most unKtcely spot.
To -the bewilderment of Troy,
N. Y., suburbanites and the am*le-
nient of wildlife administrators,
a moose recently dropped in on that
city for a visit, No moose have
been reported in New York state
for SO years and Troy is 200
thickly settled miles from the
nearest ragge.

WE’LL BE HAPPY
Sally Rand to
Live in Houston
Houston, Dec. 80. (B— Houston,
famed as the’home of oilmen and
socialites, added another celebrity
to its list today — fan dancer
Sally Rand.
Shapely Sally said she planned
to make Houston “home” because
“It is such a wonderful city.” She
added, “The climate is perfect for
raising my two-year-old adopted
•on, Shawn.”
Mias Rand said she had leased
the Southern Dinner Club from
John Edgar Payne and will operate
It as well as perform nightly with
her fans.
She also planned a television
shew. “IL Is out of this world,
she said, ’Vnd I think this is the
•pot to try It.”
Dec, 88. HP—Two Uni-
versity of Texas stars who hope
to deal • bit of misery to the Uni-
versity of Tennessee's Vols in the
Cotton Bowl next Monday have
swapped positions since gaining
all-stste fame in high school, but
they're not interested in swapping
back.
Richard Rewsn, an all-state
wingman at Breckenridge High ia
1948, is quite happy at the center
poet in the Longhorn tine.
And, Ben Procter, ni> all-state
center et Austin High near the
Longhorn campus, is equally
with hie tasks of catch-
ing passes from an end position.

£xecution Ends
One of Oldest
Murder Cates
Michigan City, Ind., Doc. 30.
<W— Franklin Click, 81-year-old
father of five, was executed early
today for the sex slaying of a
pretty high school girt, Phyllis
Conine, more than five years ago.
Click’s death in the electric
chair climaxed one .of the strang-
est murder cases ever recorded.
Less than an hour before he
was taken to the death house,
Click told Warden Alfred Dowd
of the Indiana State Prison that
he was^innocent of the rape, and
murder *of Jfiss Conine.
Click was taken into the death
house a few minutes after mid-
night and was pronounced dead
at 12:07.6. The Rev. Richard
Grunenberg, Roman Catholic chap-
lain of the prison, administered
the last, rites.
Indiana law permits no wit-
nesses at an execution and only
two reporters waited outside the
building as Click went to his
death.
The prisoner lost his last chance
for life only a few hours before
the execution. His attorneys en-
tered an appeal in a Fort Wayne,
Ind., court asking for a writ of
error.
They wanted to let the court
hear a wire recording pf statements
Click made* while under the in-
fluence of “truth serum.” The
attorneys claimed the recording
mould prove Click innocent.
.The hearing on the appeal was
continued to today but the judge
took no action to stay the execu-
tion and Click went to his death on
schedule. An appeal to Gov. Hen-
ry F. Schricker earlier this week
was refused. “
He was found guilty last De-
cember of killing Miss Conine.
Prosecutors charged that he raped
her in a field near Fort Wayne,
beat her with a rock, and then
raped her again as she lay dying.
Click was arrested in August,
1949, for the kidnap and rape of
another girl. While being ques-
tioned, he confessed the sex mur-
BEL CANTO CHORUS WARD'
CONCERT HERE FRIDAY NIGHT
Mors than 160 persons attended
a concert by the Bel Canto Chorus
Friday sight at the Church of
Christ.
Under the direction of I. Tom-
linson, the chorus composed of 80
high school students at Botes
string midway of his freshman
season in 1946 and he's been there
ever since. Unspectacular, he
hasn’t received all the acclaim due
him, but retiring Head Coach Blair
Cherry wouldn’t trade him for any
center in the conference.
He’s an expert blocker and his
806 pounds pack a lot of wallop
when he gets in there on defense.
Hell be the most “bowlwise”
player on the field New Year’s
Day.
It will mark the third holiday
classic in four years for the rug-
ged center. Texas’ 1948 Sugar
Bowl triumph over Alabama, 27-
7, and the 1949 Orange Bowl rout
Of favored Georgia, 41-28, were
the others.
Rowan, incidentally, wears con-
tact lenses. He forgot them once
—for the Orange Bowl game—and
played the most terrific game of
his career.
Procter, a six-foot, three-inch,
193-pounder, started his career
with Texas as a center. But, Line
Coach Ed Price, who will succeed
Cherry to the head man’s job
after the Tennessee game, soon
changed that.
Procter Had Slow Start
Price shunted the big-handed
Procter, who has ambitions of be-
coming a history professor, out to
end by mid-season. He caught only
two passes that year, both against
Texas Christian for 12 yards.
A knee operation sidelined him
la 1947. _
In his sophomore year, he IwT
■the club with 18 catches for 255
yards and three touchdowns.
By the time he suited out for
his junior season, Procter had de-
veloped a knack of working his
way into the open better than
anyone in the conference and he
topped the loop by a wide margin
with 724 yards gained on 43 passe*
hauled in. Five went for touch-
downs. And, most of this fine work
came in the games that counted in
the standings. In six title games
he caught 30 passes for #05 yards
and four touchdowns.
Caught ’em When Needed Most
This past season, Texas didn’t
emphasize passing quite as much
as some of the conference teams
and Procter dropped into a re-
spectable fourth spot among re-
ceivers with 24 for 453 yards and
five touchdowns. But, again most
of it was accomplished in confer-
ence games.
With this sort of success, it’s
little wonder that he and Rowan
would not care to swap bad
their old positions for the
games of their collegiate careers
against Coach Bob , Neyland’s
powerful Volunteers.
Army Develops
Substitute Drug
For Morphine
Washington, Dec. 30. <W— The
Army has developed and used in
hundreds of cases a pain-relieving
morphine substitute drug so good
that “pain just floated away on a
cloud.”
The <lrug is iso-levo-methadone.
The new pain-killer is a synthetic
drug made from cheap common
chemicals called nitriles. Army
medical spokesmen said grain for
grain, it is the exact equivalent
of morphine in relieving pain. They
said there is plenty of it and that
it can be made in any needed
amounts.
The drug was developed from
'tyrmulas discovered by the Army
in the secret files of the German
I. G. Farbenindustrie in 1945. It
was tested during three years of
study at Massachuietts General
Hospital on surgical patients.
Dr. Henry K. Beecher, profes-
sor of anesthesia at Harvard and
chief of the anesthesia department
at Massachusetts General Hospi-
tal, returned recently from Korea
and Tokyo where the drug was
used on hundred of wounded Ma-
rines.
Beecher said one wounded Ma-
rine on whom the drug was (used
said “my pain just floated away
on a cloud.”
“There is no longer any neCes-
sity for stockpiling morphine,”
Beecher said. “I don’t make state-
ments like that lightly.”
Morphine is made from opiura,
of which Red China is the major
producer.
Temporary Mail
Carrier Admits
Ditching Letters
Fort Worth, Dec. 30. (IP— Postal
inspectors atempted today to de-
termine whether a temporary mail
carrier, who dumped Christmas
mail into Marine Creek, took
money from any of the letters.
The carrier, Don Gilford. 22,
admitted ditching part of his mail!
but denied he took anything from
any of the envelopes. Postal in-
spector B. F. Stanton said at least
three letters had been opened.
Gifford, who was arrested yes-
terday, was ordered held under
*1,000 bond. Federal prosecutors
•aid conviction could carry a
5-year prison term.
Home, Quinlan and originated a
year ago, sang the following te-
lacttona:
The Lord Is In His Temple,
Thanks Be To God, Be With Me
Lord, The Heavens Declare The
Glory of God, God So Loved The
World, Now That Every Tongue
