IS VETERANS DAY-wMel oM
called Armistice Day. Nov. 11 was
M a very special day lor more
twenty years when the outbreak of
farld War fl changed things. The "War to
Wars," the JM4-1S conflict, was believ-
4 to he the end of great wars.
Peli«iriag World War II, Armistice Day
changed to Veterans Day, and is a
lal holiday. This day is set aside to
veterans of all wars.
The Mat office Is elosed in observance of
tfda special holiday.
TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY is the other
groat November holiday—Thanksgiving. This
» one of the five holidays observed in Albany,
and business places will be closed. The News,
we hope, will be able to come out on Wednes-
day, 1 fov. 24, so the News force may join the
community in observing the holiday.
THE HOLIDAY SEASON cemes quickly
after Thanksgiving.
We, and all Albany people, are pleased to
know the Albany Nativity will be performed
rl this season. The Fandangle Associa-
sponsors the Nativity.
lie Fandangle Association is beginning
(Is membership drive for the coming year.
Year membership fee not only aids the
Fandangle production, but also the Albany
Nativity production.
THE 1MB FOOTBALL SEASON is about over
for the Albany Lions. This is quite a different
actuation from many past seasons when the
Liana want into post-season play-off games.
The Lions go to Ranger Friday night for the
final game with the Bulldogs, and if Albany
wins this game, the Lions will be runners-up
to the DeLeon Bearcats in District 10-A.
Albany should beat Ranger by a couple of
touchdowns. However, if Ranger's fine quarter-
back is back after injuries suffered several,
weeks ago, the Lions could have their hands
full.
We pick the Lions to win, 20-7.
THE THROCKMORTON Tribune and the
Baird Star have changed hands in recent
weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Don Morrison have
sold the Throckmorton paper to Mr. and
Mrs. Billy M. Comedy of Lamesa. Don is
also postmaster at Throckmorton.
Mr. and MTs. Clifton Burfield are the new
sfrniers and publishers of the Baird Star and
the Clyde News, which is published in the
Baird office. The Burfields came to Baird
from Loraine, where they published the
Mitchell County News. The Baird paper has
been under the management of Norman
Fisher, who has returned to Abilene to re-
same work with the Reporter-News.
THE ALBANY JAYCEES will begin their
drive to raise funds for new street signs and
numerals for homes and business houses Sat-
urday. The Jaycees will have the help of the
Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and the Student Coun-
cil of high school, we are told. These young
people will canvass the town, accompanied by
a member of the Jaycees, and receipts will
be issued to each property owner when they
pay their $2.00—or more if possible.

MORE SHOWERS the past week brighten
grain propspects. Grain fields are already
up in many places, and with the added
moisture there should be a lot of grain for
grazing during the winter.
This ?">ar has brought ample moisture,
with the total rainfall several inches above
the average for a year. Farmers and ranch-
ers are going into fall and winter with am-
ple stock water, and Lake McC'arty Is near-
ly full.

WITII WINTER COMING ON we are reminded
that there is enough mesquite timber in Shack-
elford County to supply half of the world with
fire wood. Farmers and ranchers, with the help
of the soil conservation agencies, have been
spraying and bulldozing mesquite at a rapid
rate—and we wonder what they do with all that
timber that is on the ground. Many rake it up in
piles, and some burn it.
No one in West Texas should want for wood
to burn.

charge (February, 1946 to Feb-
ruary, 1956) and then one year
for each 90 days he was on ac-
tive duty (there are 11 such 90-
day periods in his two years
and 11 months of service) we
reach February, 1967, as the ex-
piration period for his settle-
ment. However, he should check
with his VA regional office to
make this more explicit by using
the actual date of induction and
discharge.

Starting below Miami, the
Florida Keys extend like a half-
moon string of pearls 130 miles
south and west. Blazing hot in
summer, windy in winter, rack-
ed by storm, their dubious shel-
ter might yet be known only to
land crabs, pirates and ship-
wrecked sailors—except for two
fishes. Tarpon and bonefish first
called the masses to these is-
lands. They are still the main
attraction.
Tarpon move in schools
through the myriad cuts and
channels the tides have carved
through the flats that surround
all the Keys. Sometimes live
bait is used for them, some-
times artificials. With either,
you generally try to cast to the
fish. Across shallow sheltered
Florida Bay, a 20- to 40-mile
run from the most popular
Keys, is what guides call "the
back country.'' Here the man-
grove swamps of south Florida
meet the sea in a maize of fab-
ulous tarpon- (and other fish-)
producing waters. Endless deep
channels lace through impene-
trable jungle and open up into
large unexpected lakes filled
(you hope) with the silver flash-
es of rolling tarpon.
Often, but not always, the
guides are hunting for tarpon,
they hope to see the schools
moving through the clear wa-
ter, and since tarpon average
between 50 and 150 pounds.

U. S. Senate Judiciary com-
mittee has made available to
Carr testimony of federal At-
torney General Nicholas Katzen-
bach purportedly acknowledging
the Texas poll tax is not used
for racial discrimination.
Carr maintains that, in view
of testimony, Congress could
not have had Texas in mind
when it authorized suits against
the levy as a voting require-
ment under the new voting
rights act.
Case is set for trial Dec. 1
in Austin.

"There was a man In Cesa-
roa called Cornelius, a centuri-
on of the band called the Italian
band, a devout man, and one
that feared God with all his
house, which gave much alms
to the people, and prayed to
God alway. He saw in a vision,
evidently about the ninth hour
of the day, an angel of God
coming in to him he was
afraid, and saying unto him,
Cornelius. And when he looked
on him he was afraid, and said,
What is It Lord? And he said
unto him, Thy prayers and
thine alms are come up for a
memorial before Got). And now
send men to Joppa, and call
for one Simon whose surname
is Peter; he lodgeth with one
Simon a tanner, whose house is
by the seaside; he shall tell
thee what thou oughtest to do.'
Acts 10:1-6.
Immediately therefore I sent
to thee; and thou hast done
well thai thou hast come. Now
therefore are we all here pres-
ent before God, to hear all
things that are commanded of
thee of God. Then Peter open
ed his mouth, and said, Of a
truth I perceive that God is no
respector of persons: But In ev
ery nation he that feareth him,
and worketh righteousness, is
accepted with him. The word
which God sent unto the chil-
dren of Israel, preaching peace
by Jesus Christ: (He is Lord
of all)."
Acts 10: 33-36.
"And they of the circumcision
which believed were astonish-
ed, as many as came with Pe-
ter, because that on the gentiles
also was poured out the gift of
the Holy Ghost. For they heard
them speak with tongues, and
magnify God. Then answered
Peter, can any man forbid wa-
ter, that these should not be
baptized, which have received
the Holy Ghost as well as we?
And he commanded them to be
baptized in the name of the
Lord." Acts 10 : 45-48.
