Big WPA Project
At Seymour Park
Comes Along Fine
After an Interim of several weeks
work has begun again on a beauti-
fying project for the city park at
Seymour, In reality there have been
two separate project*, but so far as
the work Ik concerned they will
blend In together, and some of the
thlngM that were not completed with
the first appropriation will be fin-
ished with ttii- last, one.
The appropriation which was ex-
pended last year was In the amount
of about $30,000, and the one now
lii progress will be |n practically the
same amount, The one which be
gun 'his week will continue for ap-
proximately eight months, and It Is
now employing II men,
{ The superintendent on the present
; Job Is W J. Lafforty of Fort Worth
i He has Just finished up with a school
j Job a' Glllllund, and his wife has
remained at that place until they
can get ii house here Mr Lufferty
hns been In contract work for sever-
al years, arid hurt proved tils ability
on every Job where lie tins boon the
superintendent. The time keeper 1#
now Marvin Barker, ii home man,
who takes the place of Mr, Nelson,
who has been transferred to Knox
county.
The first project has not been des-
cribed In The Banner, and a word
about It will Introduce the new por-
tion of the work The work last fall
consisted partly In extending the
grandstand at Fair Park, where the
football games and rodeo take place
( An extension of 40 feet, was made
ori the .south arid 20 feet on the north
side. Entrance to the stands was
formerly on the north end, but now
the stands have ari entrance In the
center, with a concrete ramp, and
another one of these Is on the south
side, fn the center two others lead
down to the space between stands
and the Iron fence. In this way no
rt.ep» hove to be climbed, enabling
riowds to be handled more quickly
and more safely. The west stands
will now seat about 2,000 people, and
500 or more can be accomodated on
the east side.
The former Job completed two of
the finest concrete tennis courts to
he found anywhere, With high net
wire backstops, that arc supported
with heavy Iron pipe uprights, The
grounds have been surrounded for
the most part, with rock fences, that
correspond to the picturesque setting
of the park, Seymour creek Is now
crossed by two new rock bridges,
which will prove a great convenience
The former project Included a con-
siderable amount of landscaping. In
all there were 000 mnv trees and
shrubs set out, including 200 redbuds.
There are pecans, sycamores arid
other varieties of different kinds.
The most Important, single Item on
the original project was building a
permanent, home for the keeper. This
is located a short way south of the
old house, and the oh! house will
be sold and moved away, The new
home is built of rock with shingle
roof, nrid It Is nice enough for any-
body to live |n The building Is 30x
40 feet, with four rooms arid bath,
The two south rooms are large ones,
the living room being 10x24 feet
The floors are of hardwood, plaster
walls and Masonite board on the
celling. The kitchen Is provided with
cabinets of every description, every-
thing neatly finished and convenient,
The bath room Is also neat and com-
plete Concrete stoops for entrances
on the north and xouth. The borne
is equipped with electric lights, gas,
water and sewer connection, The
new keeper Is Floyd Whetsel, who
has been for a number of years with
the highway department. He will
live there with his wife and mother.
The rock bath house was nearly
finished with the former appropria-
tion, and the finishing touches will
now be put on, It has two units,
one for rnen and one for women,
each unit being 30x30 feet. Rooms
arc provided along the sides, and
each unit will have toilets and Show-
ers. The house ts built of stone,
with plaster walls, concrete floor,
and Celotex overhead It Is located
on the west side of the new swim-
ming pool.
The new pool will be 00x100 feet,
with the depth varying from 2 1-2
feet on the south end to 10 feet deep
on the north end. The pool will
hold approximately one-thlrd of n
million gallons of water. The Inlet
will be from the bottom, and as fresh
water comes In there will be an over-
flow all round the sides into scum
gutters, Which will maintain the
water's purity. A vaccuum cleaning
apparatus will clean sides and bot-
tom without emptying the pool.
An Item In the new project calls
for clearing out the creek below the
park, whtoh would prevent the prop-
erty from overflowing during a big
rain. Another item will be building
the rock fence from the McLain street
entrance on up the hill Another
big rock fence will be one seven
feet high, to be erected on the west
side of the football field Two rock
toilet* have been built there with
two other* near the purk proper. The
rock now being used In being hauled
from the Collie Jeter place on Cache
creek.
Quite a good deal more playground
equipment will be built, with perhaps
u littli bought More park units are
to be added on the north side of the
grounds, and these grounds are to j
be improved.
Mr Lufferty ‘date* that he knows
Whit Whiteside Is
New Golf Champion
In the 30-hole finals match for the
annual tournament of the Seymour
Golf and Country Club Whll White-
side emerged the victor, by rather a
top-heavy score Ills opponent was
Cluis. Richmond, who the day before
had nosed out Tom Craddock In their
semi-finals match. Richmond had
previously taken a one-up victory
from Wallace Alexander In the first
matches, lto was obviously off his
game in the finals.
Whiteside reached the finals after
opposition that at times had him wor-
rier!. Me eliminated n man In the
first round who had sold highest In
the Calcutta, Dudley Carter, who did
not sink a putt on tils first nine
holes and still had a 41 He carried
Wbleslde to the 21st hole, losing there
by missing a putt of Inconsequential
length, Whiteside's next match was
against O. C Harrison, who hod him
two down and four to go, but the
champion took a tremendous spurt
and .nnk a putt from Him edge of the
green on the IfMh hole for the match.
Lott. Keffer came back strong In
the second nine of his finals match
against Foster Bunkley In the second
flight, after being down five holes
al one lime In the first nine. Keffer
had a 311 on the second nine, whlrh
was a tilt too good for second fllgh-
Icrs. lie came up to the finals by
wins against Roy Lankford and a-
gnlnst George Morris. Bunkley hurl
defeated Otis Thomas and F,d Mur-
phy.
The flrsl flight consolation matches
were all played out, Alexander beat
Jones, arid Carter beat Orr. Carter
then showed he was championship
caliber by practically eliminating On-
on the first, nine, taking seven holes
along that route. Carter then wort
In the finals against Alexander, 4-3.
In the second flight consolations
Hart forfeited to Thomas and Wheat,
forfeited to Lankford Then Lank-
ford became the champion by de-
feating Thomas 2-1.
Whiteside has been runner up be-
fore In the local tournament, but hus
never been given the cup before, and
seems to have been dim for It. And
the chances are that the man who
takes It over him another year will
be shooting u good brand of golf.

Wether for Week Great Revival Ends British-American
Gets Another Good
Well in E. Baylor
Varies Hot to Cold,
Crops Look Good
After the splendid mins of la. I
week the weather has been a varia-
tion ol .ummer and winter, Monday
nnd Tuesday (tie mercury crowded
the century mark, with a drying wind
from the west, Tuesday night there
wa* a cloud from the north that gave
a little shower of rain, and on Wed-
nesday there was another dip In the
tohiperature that must have given
freezing temperatures at points con-
siderably north of here, Thursday
morning ts clear, with the norther
not quite ployed out.
The cooler weather Is an advan-
tage to grain, but row crops may
not be bencfltted. Also, It would
be better on the large amount, of
feed planted tills week If more rain
Should be deferred for a little while
but the more we* have, the better It
will be for wheat. There Is not very
much subsoil moisture, and It will
take plenty of moisture to make a
normal grain crop.
The freeze of last week was not
badly damaging Some fruit was nip-
ped, tmt there Is plenty left. Most
ol the garden truck that, was grow-
ing wa* of varieties that stand quite
a bit of cold, and not much feed crops
had been planted. Vegetation, In-
cluding grass, Is coining along now
In gnat shape, and with another rain
or two this country will blossom an
the rose.
