trees and shrub . Albany Mas plenty of fine water,
• so there is little excuse now for not having beauti-

the food you raise will mean more food for the
Allied armies, and for 'he people in the countries
laid waste by the ravage- of conflict.
Between Friends
FEBRUARY, 1945, patted out with the bin-
gaet m>w and sleet of the winter. The tleet
fell Monday night, accompanied by a thunder
•form of rampaging spring proportions. The
•leal turned into snow Tuesday morning. Tem-
perature dropped to just below freezing, but
by Tuesday night most of the ice had melted.
Ice and snow made the pavements danger-
ous, but we have heard of no accidents.
Albany citizens drove to the post office 'for
their mail Tuesday morning, and as they tried
to back out, found their wheels could find no
traction on the ice. The car3 had to he pushed
back into the street.
The ice and freeze may have damaged some
••rly blooming fruit trees, hut it is thought
the cold helped hold most of the fruit back, and
maybe we'll have a fruit crop yet.
MOST KNJOYAKU; entertainment of the yeat
was the band concert last Friday evening at the
high school auditorium. The band was at its be t.
and doubtless it was the best concert ever given by
a lociil hand. Director Kussell McKiski had worked
hard with the group, and he and the band member ,
as well an those who sang with the band, and gave
special numbers, are to be highly commended. One
of the attraction w.;is the presence of Dr. John l.ew
is of TCU, who directed ottie of the number
Members of the Albany Service Club, believing
Albany people should attend these band concert
for their own sake, as well as for the band' in
stituted a program of advertising which resulted in
practically everybody in town receiving a post card,
which wus followed by phone calls'. We don't think
Albany people will have to be "sold" on attending a
band concert next time: because everybody enjoyed
the music.
THE ALBANY CHAMBER of Commerce it
talking about neon lights around the four facts
of the famous old court h u e clock. A com-
mittee hat been appointed to investigate the
neon situation, under war-time conditions, and
thit committee finds the lights can be put in.
The commissioners' court will be propositioned
This old clock, we are told, was made in
Switzerland. It kept Alhanyitei on time for
many a year, and then went on the blink, and
had to shipped bark across the sea to Switzer-
land where it wan repaired, and returned to
Shackelford county. The clock hm operated
efficiently, day and nighf, since, with a num-
ber of caretakers. Just now S. R Plunmier
expert on time-keeping, is in charge and you
can set your watch by the court house clock
and then bet on it being right.
Neon lighting around the faces of the clock
would be a beautiful addition to the court
bouse square.

I be di -astrous. Dr. F. Stanley
Jones, in his hook The Christ of

newspaper ad which offered
"skunk-dyed o'possum furs" for
sale. He also tell of a prominent
Hindu author who wrote i reply-
to the book Mother India entitled
L'ncle Sham. We do have a great
deal of sham in America. "Things

be said of what Dr Jones calls
"our camouflaged unreality."

many of our citizens will be going fishing pretty
regularly during this month and next Won't have
to wait until May 1st this year.
Incidentally, we hear some pretty good fish have
been caught at Lake McCarty within the pa t few
weeks. Five, six and seven pounders. Of course, it's
all .hearsay, and we didn't ever ee the fish.
It seems the game department gave the hill it-
official nod, and also decided bass 7'i inches long
could be taken, and no limit as to size ha been
placed on crappie. Streams and lake are getting
overstocked, they report. Thus we get to fish all ' Forg.se me for the e weak and
