Cisco Rodeo Dotes
Are Postponed
The Cisco Roundup Club an-
nounced today that their Fourth
Annual Cisco Rodeo, previously
arnounced for August. 14 and 15,
has been postponed temporarily,
due to unforeseen conflict with
other neighboring show dates.
New dates will be set and an-
nounced in a few days, according
to information from the club presi-
dent,, and every effort will be made
to advise contestants and spectat-
ors of the new show dates as
promptly as possible.
In spite of extensive advertising,
it was decided to change show
dates in the best interests of the
cowboys and cowgirls planning to
participate in the two day rodeo,
as well as for the convenience of
the many patrons of former Cisco
shows.
It is reported that several addi-
tional events will be added to the
schedule of contests.
Early Days Recalled At Reunion
By MRS. STELLA ROACH
American Correspondent
Our president Tom Cunningham,
if Denton, said in his program
sheet. "The subject of continuation
of this reunion can be important
part of our business meeting Sun-
day afternoon, and was he surpri-
sed at the enthusiasum shown
from the beginning.
Tents were pitched for the an-
nual reunion, August I and 2, and
the hundreds of old timers, former
and present residents recalled old
tim-s and enjoyed a weekend of
visiting with former acquaintances
Cunningham, president of the

others quickly took charge and re-
paired the benches and chairs at
the old camp meeting grounds, ma-
king the event more comfortable
for those attending.
One of the largest crowds yet
to attend this affair was present,
reminding us of the day, long ago,
when the first train, the Wichita
Falls & Southern rolled into town
for the first time.
Chairman of the program com-
mittee, Dr. John W. Yancey of
Port Worth and members of the
committee provided an excellent
and very entertaining program for
the large crowd.

Two Elections
On Farm Matters
Are Slated Here
Stephens county farmers ami
ranchers have two elections coming
up, one this week ami one next
week.
First will he an election on Fri-
day, August 14. a referendum to
decide whether farmers and ranch-
Ms will throw overboard the
wheat marketing quotas in l!>54.
The second will be to elect coun
!y committeemen, this to open o'n
August I" in which one week will
l>e given to return the ballots which
have bee'n mailed out.
11 the wheat referendum Caddo
voters will ballot at Cooks station;
Oakley voters at the school house;
and the remaining three division.-
at the court house.
Farmers growing 15 acres of
wheat or more are eligible to vote.
The occasion will be a national
referendum in which 800,000 of the
nation's two million wheat farmers
will be eligible to vote. A decisive
approval of the marketing plan,
which requires a two-thirds ma-
jority, could help convince the 851 rd
Congress the farmers want manda-
tory high price support for all
I!t54 basic farm products.
A rejection—and farm state
eongtessmen are betting against it
—would be regarded as a procla-
mation the farmers are fed up with
government "interference" and
want to return to a system of
"tree enterprise."
In advance of the vote, Secre-
tary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Ben-
son has taken a neutral attitude
but his department has gone all-
out to inform tin- farmers of the
probable results of an affirmative
or negative vote.
Many millions of crop dollars
hinge upon the outcome and also
the probable course President Ei-
senhower's farm policies will take
next yeai.
French Strikers
Returning To Jobs

the 2 million workers taking part
'ii France's worst strike in 17 years
began returning to their jobs Sat-
urday despite Communist pleas to
extend the walkout beyond the

strikers who crippled communica-
tions, transportation and essential
public services Friday to ignore
the agreed midnight deadline and
stay on strike. But the Socialist,
Catholic and independent unions
ordered their members to honor

YOUNG SWIMMER SAYS MANY
TEAMS COULD BE MADE UP
Swimming teams for Brecken-
i idge are advocated in a plea made
by Bob McCathren, son of Mr. and
Mrs. K. R. McCathren, who states
there is only one obstacle to a
number of crack teams being form-
ed here.
This one obstacle is coaches, ac-
cording to McCathren, himself ,i
swimmer of ability.
"If we could get a lead or. how
many coaches, arid there should
prove to be a number of men and
women who have a knowledge of
competition swimming, there could
be formed a, "Little League"
swimming team.
"We could really get started.
Workouts could tie arranged for
the convenience of the coach,
morning, noon or night.
The sport would be for contest-
ants in all age groups, McCathren
said, and there would be plenty
of swimmers for all coaches that
will volunteer. There are many
girls interested in snychronized
swimming. No swimmer would be
excluded.
There are many kinds of events
the swimmers could compete in in
local meets, and ir. a year or two
two crack all-stars could be select-
ed to go as teams to the big
meets.

American Staff
Winn Broyles, 7!), ont> of the few
old-timers of Stephens County
still sporting the once famous
handlebur mustache, has an unus-
ual collection of Indian arrow-
heads, rattlesnake rattles, guns
and other prize relics.
Broyles, who will be 80 on Aug-
ust 17, is still an active man and
has been a carpenter /or 4ft years.
He can still work afull eight hour
day at the job, but days that he
isn't working are spent fishing or
hunting arrowheads.
He first began collecting arrow-
heads and rattles about 20 years
ago. Going with friends introduced
him to the hobby and he has been
at it ever since. He and his wife
both enjoy searching around old
Indian camp areas for the chisled
j rocks of flint and other tndian
wares.
"If she was able to go today,"
Broyles exclaimed, "we'd be out
someolace looking for them." Ill
health has prevented Mrs. Broy-
les from accompanying her hus-
band the oast few years.
Ft. (iriffin Gun
Not only has Mr. Broyles a lar-
ge collection of arrowheads and
rattles, but he also possesses many
antique guns, pistols and swords.
Some of the guns came from old
Fort Griffin. These guns, along
with other items are locked in a
glassed-in display case at his
homu.
One of the fin--weapons hears
the date 1849.
Broyles displays part of his lar-
ge collection of arrowheads nnd
rattles in a unique manner. They
air> glued inside a large design of
a hunting Indian on a horse, which
is drawn on a board four foot
square. Many pictures have been
taken of these displays, he said.
Before coming to Breckenridge
in 1940, Broyles lived in Woodson
for many years. While living there
he spent ten years hunting rattle-
snakes.
He said they used to catch them
alive and those unharmed in any
way were placed in cages and ship-
ped to Brownsville. "There was
nothing wasted about a rattle-
snake there," he said. "Th-r-y ex-
tract the venom to treat people
bitten by the snake, eat the meat,
and use the skins to make ladies
shoes and handbags."
Caught 98 Rattlers
Each year many of the venom-
ous creatures were dragged, from
the dens in that area and surroun-
ding counties. Their largest haul
was !)8 rattlesnakes from a den
located east of Breckenridge. He
explained how they captured the
snakes with a simple wire hook,
several feet long.
He was never snake bitten.
The rattles in his collection
came from Stephens and Throck-
morton counties and most of the
arrowheads and other tndian items

"A person doesn't have to go far
to look for either the arrow heads
or rattlesnakes," Broyles said.
A native of Texas, Broyles was
born in Cherokee County, coming
to Stephens county at the age of
seven. He boasted proudly, "I've
lived in the trade distance of
Breckenridge for 54 years."

Lions Are Felled
With Few Words
And Very Simple
Members of the Breckenridge
Lions Club at their weekly lunch-
eon Friday were entertuined with
a spelling bee, six chosen members
to the side with Howard Swansoi;
thi' winner.
Swanson did not have far to go,
although when those on the two
teams were viewed it might have
been thought he would. He had to
spell only three words.
Lined up with Swanson were
Judge Jesse R. Smith, Frank Hur-
rell, Vic White, G. R. Whitney and
Jerry Ferrei, selected by D. T.
Bowles, while against them were
John Culwell, Joe Gracey, C. M.
Hall, P. M. Faulkner, J. Lee Jones,
and Henry Nahtn, selected by
Robert Bowers.
Words given out by George Jor-
dan mowed them down like wheat
before a scythe. Some of the
words missed were occurrence,
sacrilegious, Gorillu, colonel, ir.
other words simple words, but
John Culwell who got gorilla was
told it was an animal, and the
word was guerilla, one with a dif-
ferent meaning, but he was loudly
counted out. Joe Grace was not re-
tired on his first miss by an over-
sight and got to miss u second.
Coaching was not allowed and
Bernice Trammell, acting us tail-
twister, collected quite a sum in
fines from those trying to help.
The program was presented by
Jordan and Ox Emmons.
