is one of th first things he remembers
seeing. Mr. Claxton was reared from
early childhood in this family.
The first white lady to set foot on |
American soil at Plymouth Rock was
holding this pitcher in her hand. She
stepped upon the rock and displayed
the pitcher in her hands as a symbol
of her recollection of her mother
country, England. It was then an old
relic in the family, according to leg
endary history. According to Mr.
Claxton, old Aunt Martha Smith did
not know how long the pitcher hal
been in the family at the time of the
sailing of th* Mayflower.
REWARD ... for honesty
I don’t recall a newsp^peF'story in
a long time that struck me as con-
taining such pleasing elements as
at of Frank Gregee. who found a
•wallet full of securities in the snow
in Wall Street, turned the treasure-
trove over to the police and went back
to his dollar-a-day job as “sandwich
man,” carrying a sign through the fi-
nancial district. Now this man of 67,
who came to America from Lithuania.
47 years ago, has cash in the bank, a
new suit of clothes, and a steady joh
as a reward for his honesty.
The “Cindeftlla” theme is always
appealing. Everybody likes to hear
of somebody rising from poverty to

and prosperity among the inhabitants.
Today, the Brazos drains a terri-
tory wherein live more than 27 per
cent of the population of the entire
state of Texas, more than a million
and a half people. From the first
settlements there have sprung 39
| cities with a popula’ion of more than
, 2,006 neonle, and a vast number of
, smaller hamlets scattered up and
down the farming country and the
I western ranges. The density of PrtP*
1 is one and two-thirds the density of
the rest of the entire state as a whole.
A number of years ago the Mis-
I soiuri Pacific Railroad Reclamation
' Departrpent issued a repoit on
' Brazos which stated: “Th-' R’
' River is one of the most violent of
I Texas streams. It traverses a popif-
( loos and highly productive region,
i subjecting its inhabitants to periodic
floods which have brought enormous
damage in years past.”
The flood damage, according to the
United States Weather Bureau,
amounted to two million dollars year-
ly from 1913-1929. More than 350

The name Brazos o’"ginated from
Spanish tradition. Before white
