Cars Damaged
In Street Crash
Two mrs were damaged consider-
ably, but no one injured, in a colli-
sion Friday afternoon at the inter-
section of S. Breckenridge avenue
and Williams Street.
A Chevrolet sedan driven north
by Jimmy B. Robertson, Brecken-
ridge collided with a Lincoln that
was being driven east on
Williams by Clarence T. McLaugh-
lin of Snyder, Police Chief Bob
Whitley reported
judiciary subcommitte, and which
has received wide publicity, and
effect of which is beginning to be
felt.
The subcommittee was the anti
trust and monoply committee. Since
that time President Eisenhower has
asked the major oil importers to
state how much they can cut im-
ports, and a better picture of the
oil industry in America has been
spread, to mention two known re-
sults.
Several pages of testimony re-
ported were sumarized by Clark as
follows:
1. We have today two oil indus-
tries in America—a domestic indus-
try, of which the independents are
a part, and an. international in-
dustry, dominated by a few Ameri-
can companies. In this present sit-
uation, the failure to supjply Eu-
rope's needs is the sole responsibili-
ty of these international companies.
2. The domestic industry, the in-
dependents, are under effective reg-
ulation by state laws, but the in-
ternational companies, with foreign
reserves ,are by virtue of special
privileges, largely exempt from the
effect of those same laws and are,
in turn, using their power to weak-
en systematically the position of
the independent.
3. The result of this is that the
independents' position is being un-
dermined, the . consumer's protec-
tion and safeguards are being
weakened, and national security is
being jeopardized.
4. We have in this country vast
reserves of oil which can be devel-
oped and utilized if the independ-
ents have the capital to continue
exploration and development, but
the importing companies—by their
control over the independents' cap-
ital their control over the price
paid to him for his oil—are fol-
lowing a course which retards the
proper development of our nation's
reserves.
5. Finally, the policies of these
importing companies constitute ,on
effort to impose monopoly control
over production and destroy state
regulation meant to prevent mon-
oply since, in effect, they are say-
ing—either they get to produce pre-
ferentially as home or they will by-
pass state conservation lUws by
bringing in unlimited imports from
abroad.

They're tearing her down! No
tears are being shed but a sigh
or two can be heard by listening
closely. Aye, they're tearing her
tattered insides out!
Reference is here made to the
old building behind the present
high school building that housed
the machine and woodwork shop,
the old cafeteria, and also was used
as a band room. Soon it will be
no more.
She wasn't worth much in cash,
it seems. When offered for sale
it brought only $101.50, but there
are considerable memories attached
to it. This can easily be verified
by asking a large number, who
may dislike to admit that many
years, but just the same they went
to school there you see.
They are going to replace the
old building with $182,000 worth of
new building Gaylord Crowley
bought it for the nominal sum
mentioned, to sell what is left for
salvage. He has 60 days to tear
her worn parts away, and the new
building contractor has 210 days kt>
build her back, bright and new.
I thought I had better put
something about her in print.
Some one in the future may be
scanning the pages of the Breck-
enridge American, and suddenly be
surprised" to see there ever was
such a building. So, we called for-
mer Supt. John Bailey.
Mr. Bailey said the building was
used as school building during the
early boom days, until the present
school buildings appeared in 1922.
It was the high school building
then, with elementary wooden
buildings scattered over town.
Originally it was a two story buil-
ding, built about 1908.' Ten or
twelve years later the top wa3
torn off and it became an audi-
torium with class rooms on each
end, and so wore itself out through
the many years.
A lot of building service to bring
in the end only $101.50. Wonder
what the fifty cents was for? I

Jim Rominger, speaking for both
himself and Paul Smith, touma
ment Chairmen, said Saturday
morning that if the rains continue
into Sunday, making qualifying
play impossible, the City Touma'
ment would be postponed one week.
The course was rather damp Fri-
day but there- was a hot beaming
sun at work drying out the course,
but Friday night's rains coupled
with those coming'down at the
time this article was written Sat-
urday morning, didnt help matters
at all.
Bob Cunningham said that about
52 or 53 had already paid their
tournament entrance fees .through
Saturday morning. Another dozen
or so are expected to come forth
by the time play begins.
•In the Stamford invitation wo-
mens tournament held last Thurs-
day, a couple of women from
Breckenridge came through to win
prizes. In the nine hole matches,
Ruby Vincent emerged as low
gross runner-up. Louise Tucker
won low net in this same division.
Girls representing eight towns
played in this outing on a water
laden course.
Three Breckenridge men are en-
tered in the Ranger Invitation Golf

and his first match Saturday morn-
ing pitted him against Graham's

Moisture Sinks
Best In Grass
Covered Land
The recent rains that fell over
the 'Lower Clear Fork Soil Con-
servation District left more mois-
ture in the sqil than has been pres-
ent for several years.
Moisture penetration checks were
made on the Joe Frank farm in
the Ivan, community, on the Fred
McConnell farm about eight miles
south of Breckenridge, on the Joe
Hood ranch in the Gunsight com-
munity, andr on the Dick Smith
ranch four miles south of Brecken-
ridge.
The moisture ranged from eight
to more than forty-eight inches
in the places that were checked.
Where a few weeds but no turf of
grass or cover of dead litter was
present the moisture ranged from
sixteen to thirty inches. Where a
pretty good turf of gross and weeds
were present the moisture penetrat-
ed to a depth of from thirty to
forty-eight inches. Where a good
turf was present, and a good cover
of dead litter covered the land the
moisture penetrated to depth of
more than forty eight inches.
Ed McCanlies, who ranches twen-
ty miles south of Breckenridge, re-
ports that the moisture penetrated
only eight inches on most of his
bare ground, but on his pasture
that was root plowed last summer
he augered to forty-four inches
and at that depth the soil was too
wet to stay on the auger.
The grasses on many of the rang-
es are beginning to recover, but
care should be taken to prevent ov-
er stocking. If the pastures are al-
lowed to rest throughout the grow-
ing season, the grasses should make
some recovery. However, if the
pastures are grazed heavy, the bet-
ter grasses will never have a chan-
ce to make a seed crop, or im-
prove in vigor, even though the
rains continue.'

Breck Gets .86
By 12 Saturday;
Bel Rio Gets 7
Breckenridge by noon Saturday
had received .86 of an inch of rain
as torential rains brought new flood
threats to soggy West and South-
west Texas. More rain was failing
here at the time mentioned.
The added rainfall brought the
total for the present spell to 14.09
and the total for the year to 22.-
52, the latter within 2.81 of the
average annual rainfall of 25.33.
Rains also were continuing over
the state.
A San Antonio woman, 66-years-
old Mrs. Hazel Wood, drowned
when an auto ran into a flood swept
highway east of Del Rio after
rain up to seven inches deluged the
region.
Five other women who were in
the Sedan were rescued by Ser-
geant Leonard Fugelsang of near-
by Laughlin Air Force Base. The
women were en route to Acuna,
Mexico, when their car swept off
the road.
Sergeant Fugelsang also saved
four other persons who clung to
their cars and trees as the water
surged across a low place on U. S.
90 about five miles east of Del Rio.
New flood threats arose as heavy
overnight rains continued in the
West.Central Texas area from Abi-
lene westward to Colorado City and
Big Spring and Southward around
'San Angel9 and Mertzoi).
At Abilene the North" Park resi-
dential area on the north side ftf
town was imperilled the secoiid
time in a week by fast-rising Elm
creek, which loops around the dis-
trict. It was swelled by water pour-
ing 13 inches deep over the ijake
Abilene spillway. Other creeks in
the vicinity also are on the rise.
Rainfall at Abilene by midmorn-
ing ranged up to 2.20 inches by un-
official measurement, and the Of-
ficial guage was 1.25.
At San Angelo .85 inch of rain
fell within half an hour, and at
Mertzon to the Southwest it meas-
ured approximately 2 inches, most-
ly within an hour. One to 2 inches
of rain was general over Iron Coun-
ty, and three inches at Big LakA
on the West in Reagan County.
This raised new flood threats to
San Angelo and Christoval, 20 mil-
es to the South. More water wis
pouring into Spring Creek, whteh
already had six floodgates ODeh
pouring excess water toward S4li

"A man does have to be re-
nowned to be great.... and what
the world needs today is the art
of being kind".
These were highlights of the
message brought Friday night to
about 170 members and guests of
the Rough Neck Bible Class by
Dr. Guy Newman, president of the
Howard Payne College at their ban-
quet at the Baptist Church.
The minister declared that the
greatest thing a man can do is to
"go about doing good."
"True greatness depends ttpon
character—concepts of right and
wrong, a fine setose of integrity
and' honor," the speaker said in
defining greatness.
"Every great man is charitable
toward other people." Dr. Newman
naked hit hearers to "matt a '
to (or §V9ijr
to make allowances fos the mis-
takes of others. You. do not have,
to agree with every one to love
every one" to add that because one
does not believe as you do does
not mean that one is not going
to heaven'.
Frendliness, cordiality and kind-
ness were emphfczed for the minis-
ter to say that God will compen-
sate for tnese in a world dying for
thoughtfultness.
Mrs. Virgil Ransdell and Mrs.
Helen Hanna, accompanied by Mrs.
Edgar Cain at the piano, entertain-
