RAINDROPS FALLING . . .
Many around the area have had
inches ol rain, but we have been
missed up until Tuesday morning.
Now we do have raindrops fulling
and everyone is grateful. I .awns
Were being watered to keep them
green and gardens were burning
from the lack of moisture. With
the rain we are reminded that Fall
is just about here with football
and all I he other goodies.
The Float travels to UiOrange
on Saturday of this week for the
opening of the Ttrd Annual Pay-
ette County Fair. Parade time is
:!:!(() p. m.
It is certainly a nice feeling to
l>c able to travel with the float
and not have the horrible fei ling
Dial most any minute you could
have a Hal Thanks to the First
National Bank the float now has
four new tires and ready to travel.
It was through the combined ef-
forts of the City of I'.asirop, Lc*
ter's Auto and the Hank that tins
was accomplished. Our remaining

ambition
is to have a suitable
place to store the floal and the
props that are used in the decora-
lion of it With the cost of float
materials what they are today, it
will certainly pay us to have a
place for proper storage of these
decorations.
Bastrop will soon have some new
scenic post cards which will be
available to all merchants who
wish to sell them. The pictures
have been taken and will be view-
ed by a committee to select those
most desirable to sell in retail
stores. These will be scenes of
Lake Bastrop, Bastrop State Park,
Museum, and other places of in-
terest to the visitor.
They will tell a story of their
own, and will be of interest to
visitors to the area. Tourists al-
ways buy post cards to send to
friends and relatives and those
who purchase cards from the
Chamber of Commerce will get
their money back and also enable
the Chanilier office to mail out
cards to inquirers. Those at the
meeting agreed that tills was one
of the best means of gelling the
Bastrop Area before the public
in faraway places.
It has been brought lo our al-
tention that Bastrop receives much
publicity from their representatives
in the Austin Aqua Festival. The
honors bestowed on these girls are
fantastic and each time that she
is introduced, her hometown is
mentioned. Although we know that
we cannot compete with Austin,
we are hoping that as lime passes
we will be able to honor those
taking part in our Homecoming
Festivities to a greater degree.
This is our aim in trying to raise
funds to make this possible. F,very-
one knows thai these things are
not accomplished without proper
funds and our only means of rais-
ing these funds is through football
games, collecting, etc. The charge
for the Beauty Pageant this year
was a means to help defray ex-
penses and have a little beginning
for next year. Soon . . , Go out
and support the things that are
Hying to belter us and make Bas-
trop a better place for all of us.
Don't forget the Mexican Dinner

Bl 1.1.Y ON A BI S
Rus driver Hawkins noticed that
one of his passengers, obviously
drunk, was getting belligerent to-
ward a young woman. Hoping
things would calm down, Hawkins
did not interfere.
But things did not calm down.
On the contrary, the man climax-
ed his outburst by giving the
woman a vicious kick in the shins
In due course, she filed a dam-
age suit aganlst the bus company.
And a court in led that the com-
pany was indeed liable. The judge
said Hawkins had failed to live up
to his legal responsibilities as the
"man in charge" of the bus.
As a rule, a bus driver has the
duty to do some basic policing of
his vehicle. When one passenger
menaces another, the driver can-
not just take refuge in the role of
a neutral bystander.
In fact, lie may have to take
affirmative actions not only against
group-up bullies but also against
youthful rascals. In another case
several teenagers, armed with
rubber bands, began firing paper
clips around the interior of their
i school bus,
I Again, the driver followed a
hands-off policy. But when a girl
was struck In the eye and injured,
the bus compnay was held liable
I in court The judge said the driver
i had an affirmative duty lo halt
this dangerous game.
Nevertheless, since he is not
really a policeman, he does not
have te go out of his way to search
for trouble Thus:
An intoxicated passenger Jabbed
a large pin into another man's
hip The indignant victim later de-
manded damages from the bus
compnay, pointing out that his at-
tacker had been quarrelsome and
profane even before thrusting the
pin.
But it also appeared that the
fellow had been sitting far back in
j the bus, and thai the driver had
simply not been aware of his mis-
behavior. Accordingly, the court
found no grounds for placing blame
upon the driver.
"His primary duly," said the
judge, ''is to give his full alien
lion to the operation of the bus.
If he concentrates upon this ail-
! important duty, he cannot give at-
tcnlion lo the actions of the pas-
sengers unless so unusual as to
demand it."
