his office at Jimtown, and did not
get to see him. Another of the
place's most pronainent citizen*, J.
B. Bishop, and his wife were also
on outside duties. The Bishop place
is encltued with a good looking
board fence, with some of the
planks running slaunch-wise; the
same as the home of Mrs, Bishop's
parents, In Westover, Mr. and Mrs.
J. F. Martin. At the Bishop place
we saw Sam M. Smith of Plain-
view, who hud come down to help
with the wheat harvest.
Which recalls that some of the
wheat in that community looked
amazingly well, considering the
long period of dry weather. Two
or three fields were being grazed
off; but mc/it of it will make some-
thing, and part of it will fool you.
At Westover a stop was made at
the Howell Hail grocery and the
post office,. A daughter of the
Halls was there, Nannette, with
seven-months-old daughter who
who has the distinction of having
taken a 1,000-mile plane ride when
she was only four weeks old. The
husband and father, Jerry Swill-
ing, has been in the navy for nine
years, and will probably stay with
it He is now in Japan, but te ex-
pected back in this country next
August. His wife and daughter
stay with hini when he is in this
country.
It was stated that Mr. Hall had
gone to Olney on account of the
wreck about noon that day involv-
ing Joe and Rufus Martin. Rufus
had to stay In the Olney Hospital,
but Joe got back home while the
paper man was there. He got out
with light injuries.
We also learned that A. D. Hall
was in a Wichita Falls hospital for
treatment of kidney stonew. That
made the fourth different hospital
that Dee has visited as a patient.
W. F. Gray was seen at the store,
and he has been a citizen of West-
over for 30 years coming there
from East Texas.
While the paper man was present
the carrier on the Jacksboro Star
Route, S. M. Moore, brought in the
mail from Seyirwur. In July Mr.
Moore will have carried the mail
on this route for 12 years. He
(makes the round trip each day,
and lives in Jacksboro.
W. W. Parker was seen at the
slore, and he confessed to not being
in the best of health. He gets
around just like anybody else, but
says they don't want him to work
—and he doesn't want to work;
which makes it mutual.
It looked strange—and unhappy
— to look over in the east part
of town and see that school is no
longer being maintained at West-
over. The world is going some-
where all the tin.'e, and we hope
it is in the right direction. All
the same, a lot of memories cling
to Westover people in connection
with their school, which at one
ticne had a good high school.
At L. B. Pierce's place he took
tiie visitor around to the back of
his store and showed us his night-
watchman. It is a big bulldog, as
fierce looking as you ever saw.
The paper\s Westover correspon-
dent, A. G. Cockrell, drove up
about that time, and we were afraid
he was going to get into a domino
game. However, we understand he
can take care of himself pretty
well in an affair of that kind.
The reader will probably think
this article is already long enough,
and the outside rrtan thought so
too, so he headed for Olney about
this time. Probably it is of no
general concern what he did down
that way. You never can tell what
an otherwise nice i'eilow will get
into when he gets away from home.

Erosion Is Costly
How much is this flully costing you? No, it's not
your gully and it's not on your land, but erosion destroys
more than soil. It cripples agriculture and weakens the
whole national and economic structure We are paying
almost four billion dollars every year as the cost of ero
sion. It is a needless price paid for wasted soil, declining
crop yields, highway and railroad damage, flood loosses,
abandoned farms, and silted lakes and reservoirs Pity
inent for losses caused by this gully comes from every-
one s pocketbook.

NEW FROM THE CONGRESS
Just recently the Congress paused
the bill thit would authorize the
creation of an Air Force Academy
similar to the Military Academy
at West Point, New York, and the
Navy Academy at Annapolis, Mary-
land. The Secretary for Air, Har-
old E. Talbott, has appointed a five
man commission which will rec-
ommend the site for this new Aca-
demy.
It must be near a community that
has a variety of educational insti-
tutions and religious, cultural, and
recreational facilities readily ac-
cessible to the site; it cnu'Jt be lo-
cated in an area that has a ntild
climate; a fvvoJjer supply of at least
3,000,000 gallons of water per day
snail be available; good transpor-
tation facilities must be at hand,
as well as public utilities such as
electric power, natural gas, or
other fuel. The establishment of
an Air Force Academy has been
uerlously considered for several
years. Several Texas sites have
been among those that have been
seriously investigated, Among
these Texas sites Is one a short
distance southeast of Denton.
The Air Force plans to activate
the Academy on a temporairy basis
at an existing Air Force base just
as soon as practicable. The first
class of 300 cadets will be en-
rolled in July 1855, The number
of vacancies that will be allocated
to each State is proportionate to
that State's representation in Con-
gress. Texas will be allocated 12
vacancies for the first class. Each
Member of Congress from Texas
will be allowed to make nomina-
tions not to exceed ten persons.
Those nominees then will take
competitive examinations for the
vacancies, and the appointments
will finally be made from the
qualified candidates in the order
of their merit.
This week the House passed and
sent to the Senate a $304,000,000
appropriation bill to finance the
operations of the Interior Depurt-!
nttht for the next year. The amoun*
approved In the House was more
than 12 percent below the $422,- j

ern Power Authority and boosted
