■ Canadian Wildcat cagcrs

of the new season Tuesday
night when they breezed past
the Memphis Cyclones 45 to
40 in a fast-paced basketball
game.
The Canadian girls lost
their conference opener in the
first game of the evening,
bowing to the Memphis girls
38 to 27.
In the girls contest, the
Memphis girls led by a slim
margin at half - time, but
gradually increased their lead
in the third and fourth per-
iods as the Canadian forwards
were unable to hit the basket
with any regularity.
( Kay Sessions of Canadian
was high scorer for the game,
And bagged twenty of her
beam's 27 points. Judy Ere-
man scored 3 points.
Clayton of Memphis had 15
points, and Townsend scored
13.
In the boys game which fol-
lowed, the Cyclones and Wild-
cas battled it out on even
terms through the first half,
With the Wildcats clinging to
a two-point lead at half-time,
'but the Wildcats widened
their lead in the third quarter
and faintained the pace all
the way.
Tommy Lemons was high
scorer for the ball game with
18 points; and the Wildcats'
vest-pocket guard, Jerry "Pea-
nuts" Cole, racked up eleven
points . . . many of them
from the free • throw line
where he gave an "Annie Oak-
ley" performance. Burnett of
Memphis scored 17 points,
and Dea ver was next with 8.
Tuesday night's game was
the only conference contest
scheduled before the Christ-
mas holidays. The Wildcats

Lions share is $500:
Lions Club seeks public aid
for street marker program
New street markers for Ca-
nadian's city street intersec-
tions are definitely going to
be purchased and installed
very soon, Charles Vignal,
chairman of a Canadian Lions
Club service committee, said
this week.
Purchase of new street
markers is a community ser-
vice project of the Lions Club.
To make sure that the pro-
ject gets under way, the Lions
Club has appropriated $500
from the club treasury to help
buy the metal markers and

the two-inch pipe standards
on which they will be mount-
ed.
"This is the Lions' share of
the cost," club members de-
clare. "Now we hope that
enough city residents will
come through with individual
contributions to make up the
rest of it."
About $1100 will be required
to pay for enough of the met-
al street-name signs to mark
the 165-odd street Intersec-
tions within the city limits. In
addition to this, pipe must be
purchase for mounting the
signs.
The Lions are asking local
residents to donate $4 for each
intersection to help cover the
costs.
Residents of a block who
want to be sure that their
nearest street Intersection is
marked early can chip in to
make up the four dollars, then
urn it over to Lions Club Sec-
retary Dub Adams at the First
National Bank to be earmark-
ed for that specific Intersec-
tion.
About a dozen Intersections
have already been taken care
of this way, and the Lions
are hoping that public re-
sponse in the next few days
will take care of a lot more.
The first batch of street
markers are already on order,
and the club would like to
add to the order as quickly as
possible.
The first signs will probably
go up shortly after January
1, Vignal said.
The street markers will be
metal "four • way" signs
mounted on 2-inch steel pipe
sandards. The signs will be
white with black lettering,
and the standards will be
painted with aluminum paint.
Paint for the posts has al-
ready been donated, and City
of Canadian crews will help
the project by erecting the
signs.
A sample street marker has
been on display in front of the
Municipal Swimming Pool at
the comer of First and Pur-
cell streets.

Two queens will be present-

sen a Queen by secret ballot,

surplus, and more than $400,-
000 of combined capital, sur-
plus, undivided profits and
reserves.
Wilbur explained that "now,
under the law, we will be
permitted t o make larger
loans than were heretofore
possible, and be better able to
take care of the borrowing re-
quirements of this area."
There will be no cost to
stockholders involved in the
move, he explained, because
funds for the 50 per cent stock
dividend will be transferred
from the undivided profits ac-
count of the bank. Each stock-
holder, he said, will be en-
titled to share in the stock
dividend in proportion to their
respective holdings of com-
mon stock on the effective
date of a certificate of ap-
proval to be issued by the
Comptroller of the Currency.
The First National is now
completing a $30,000 addition
which will add some 1500
square feet of floor space for
machines and other equip-
ment.
The public will be invited
to inspect the new quarters as
soon as the addition is com-
pleted . . . probably around
January 1, the president said.
