further endorsed by Eddle Cocke-
rell, secretary of the club. “I wish
the town a* a whole would get be-
himd the Boosters to help put over
that program," he said. “I don"t
think there are many thing* more
worthwhile than the aims of the
ctub."—-
An eight-point program for civig
achievement in 1938 was announced
by the young business and protes-
atonal men s club last weekend.
They propose to build inter-city
friendships to interest more In-
dustries in locating here, to en-
courage oil activity, to seek a more
versatile entertainment program, to
back a movement tor more parks,
to sponsor organization of a mer-
chants’ protective association, to
support organization of a commun-
ity cheat, to urge all citizens to pay
their poll taxes and vote in every
election.
Perhaps it's fitting, then, to cap
these civic New Year* resolutions
with the more abstruse "wish tor
1938" of Max Bentley.
"I think that if the people of
Abilene are to maintain the super-
iority which they share with other*
of west Texas the gregtat hanoi-

“I would like to see some beau-

rightofway of the Texas A Pacific
railway," Mrs Harry Tom King
announced aa her No. 1 civic aim
for 1938. She discussed with and-
mation plans which already have

city'* official shrub, in landscaping

IPOEr IMPROVEMENT
Ben M Davis favors Improve-
ment of facilities at the municipal
airport. Improvements there were
s recent center of controversy
when the aviation committee of
the chamber of commerce reached
an impasse in efforts to secure *
westbound plane stop and round-
trip air travel for Abilene real-
den to.
With our teat of purchasing
th* rightofway finished, I should
like to see the Cross Plains high-
way built,” said County Judge Lee
R. York, who with County Com-
missioner Luther Webb spent much
of his time in effecting the pur-
chase within the sum allotted by
voting of s bond issue in 1937
"And I’d like also to see the old
county jail remodeled Into a coun-
ty agricultural building.” Com-
missioners al have approved that
project and it 1* to be submitted
for Works Progress administration
approval.
A. Bandeen. manager of the West
Texas chamber of commerce. Re-
moval of the chamber* headquar-
ter* here from Stamford stirred
bitter opposition there. Said Man-
ager Bandeen: “I resolve to start
no more tighu this year—and to
join all peace socleties."
FINISHED DAM HIS DREAM
"I hope most of ail to see the
Fort Phantom HUI dam completed
and water in its basin," said
Mayor W. W. Hair, Launching of
the project, inherited from the
previous pity administration, has
been a major objective of the city
since Mayor Hair took office in
1937, a
Mrs. B L. Harwell is another
park proponent. "J think'* real,
hones-to-goodness park ia one of
our biggest needs," she decided.
“It should be centrally located,
where the greatest number of peo-
ple could take advantage of it.
