Crops were at just the right stage

THE BRADY ENTERPRISE
Vol XIII No. 34
Brady, McCulloch County, Texas. Tuesday, July 5. 1932
Race Meet OCS to Auspicious Start
But, and when, the rain fell in
sheets, and yards and yards of
sheets, and then some more sheets
by the yards—well, too much of
anything is more than enough. The
which aptly describes our pre-Jubi-
lee rains.
When Brady creek can be put on
a rampage that forces it far and
wide out of its banks, just merely
by a local rain—put a pin there,
that is some rain! Had Eden and
Melvin contributed a like deluge
at the same time, boys and girls,
there would undoubtedly have been
a repetition of the disastrous flood
of October 6, 1930. Fortunately,
the upper reaches of Brady creek
did not send such a flood—or rath-
er, the flood which was so contrib-
uted, came after the local overflow
had had time to pass and subside.
* * *
WELL JUST have to break
down and confess that matters
looked bad—it really looked like
the big Jubilee would have to be
postponed. The big flooding rain
was bad enough, but when Sun-
day morning’s early contribution
was added to the general deluge,
it looked worse than bad—it really
looked damp bad!
Surmounting all difficulties, Brady’s Seventh Annual
July Jubilee and Race Meet got off to an auspicious start on
schedule time yesterday morning, and the first day’s events'
augur one of the most successful of any celebration ever stag-
ed here. The Brady Municipal Band started the ball rolling
at 10:00 o’clock when, under the inspiring leadership of Les-
ter Callaway, band director, it gave one of its enjoyable
concerts at the improvised speakers stand on the Richards
Park picnic grounds. Later the regular speakers platform
was moved to a position astride the dump forming a wing of
the Brady Creek dam, and the park benches were assembled
conveniently about the stand. Mrs. Phebe K. Warner, can-
didate for Congress-at-Large, was the opening speaker on the
morning program, while on the evening program, following
the races, a splendid crowd heard Roy I. Tennant, Jr., speak
in behalf of the candidacy of his father for Railroad Commis-
sioner and who was followed by Gib Callaway of Brownwood,
who addressed the voters upon his candidacy for District
Judge of the 35th Judicial District of Texas.
FULL SPEAKING PROGRAM IS
ASSURED FOR TODAY
A full speaking program is as-
sured for today. Opening with a
band concert from 9:30 to 10:00,
there will follow political speaking
by C. V. Terrell, candidate for re-
election to the State Railroad
Commission. His address will be
at noon, the final day's program is
certain to see a large attendance
by reason of the three leading gu-
bernatorial candidate- being on the
program, either in person, or by
representative.
The days events will be opened
with the band concert at 9:30 a.
m., following which Brady will do
honor to Governor Ross S. Ster-
ling and his party. The Governor
will personally address the citizens,
and will be followed by a member

ernor Sterling will appear on the July Jubilee program
Wednesday morning.
| With Brady Creek on a rampage, the carnival attrac-
tions of the Bill H. Hames Cotton Belt Shows, and as well the
various concessionaires, were denied the early start-off they
had hoped for the past week-end. In fact, a number of them
were forced to move to higher ground for the time-being But
with returning sunshine Sunday afternoon, they were quick
to re-establish themselves, and by noon Monday, were going
ahead as though no interruption or danger had ever threat-
ened. The carnival and picnic grounds, being well-packed by
and thru constant use, dried out in surprisingly short time.
The barbecue pits and grounds, several times under water, as
well as having been under several feet of water, are also dry-
ing out in good shape, and will be ready for the lighting of
the fires tonight for the preparing of the meat for the big
barbecue scheduled as the climaxing event on the third day’s
program tomorrow. The free moving picture show was given
on last night, as announced on the programs, and will feat-
ure the programs again tonight and tomorrow night. As al-
ways, this is one of the most enjoyable parts of the entertain-
ment programs, and is appreciated by old and young alike.
Sunday morning, with one eye on
the soggy race track, and the oth-
er on the overhanging clouds, which
occasionally spit a drop of moisture
into even the most experienced of
weather eyes, it was hard to say
where the most moisture was to
be found—overhead or underfoot
—in fact, it looked almost like a
50-50 break. And there were those
who said it would take a week to
dry the sodden ground out beneath
the trees at the Richards Park pie-
grounds.
Alas, for the faulty vision and
foresight of mere man. A glimpsel
of sunshine, and a faintly stirring |
breeze, and all the world looked '
rosy once more. Sodden tents were 1
spread out to dry; scattered para-
phernalia was re-assembled, a drag
was put on the race track; hasty re-
pairs of nominal damage was
made, and the glad word went
forth—the big show would go on;
there would be nothing to interfere
with the full carrying out of the
program.
And so it was! And is!
WHAT MIGHT be a good topic
for a "Believe It or Not,” was
that parking grounds which Sunday
looked like they might bog down a
mud scow, were Monday afternoon
in shape to park cars without the
least bit of trouble and with scarce-
ly a showing of mud.
Perhaps only after such a near-
miraculous recovery from threat-
ened delay or damage can we fully
appreciate the excellent layout for
a Jubilee celebration that we have!
