DIFFICULT QUESTION:
you want it to rain?
zzzzzz
It’s hardly up to the time when
more moisture is needed particu-
larly, but a good many people are
afraid to see these clear days, with
a slightly warm wind out of the
west. They have been looking a
good deal like some other days
in the past that were not so good.
ZZZZZZ
Summer time began with the.
calendar Tuesday, when there
were about 14 hours of sunshine.
That may be good for crops and
laying hens, but it's too long to
work. And for tl\ose who have
to have darkness for sleeping, they
do not have much chance,
zzzzzz
About the most important hap-
penings of the week have been
Father’s Day and Emancipation
Day. Heretofore the colored peo-
ple have not had any competition
on their ‘‘Juneteenth,’’ but this
time Father's Day barged in on
them.
zzzzzz
Seriously, though, we don't think
the colored folks have any cause
for alarm. They have really been
emancipated, and the fathers have
not. Still, the old boys were well
remembered that day, and they are
as happy as if they were boss,
zzzzzz
Ever hear this?: ‘Well, you
worried around till you got it,
and now you don’t want it.”
zzzzzz
Last week some mention was
made of Willie Pazderny’s truck,
and we said it was 20 years old.
That was pretty far wrong. As a
matter of fact, the machine is a
1917 model. Willie has been think-
ing a little about trading it off,
but is afraid he might not know
how to keep one of these modern
outfits on the road. (We had to
confess to Willie that George Shaw-
ver told us that story about his
radiator).
zzzzzz
The cartoon, Funny World, gave
a picture of two women talking.
One of them said: “She’s engaged
all right, but I hardly think she
contemplates marriage.”
zzzzzz
H. V. Wade says the other time
it took years to kill vaudeville,
but that was before the days when
the customers ate popcorn aloud
in the theatres.
zzzzzz
Somebody mentions that Victor
Hugo said 40 is the old age of
youth and 50 is the youth of old
age.
zzzzzz
Which reminds the writer of this
column that he is now a grand-
father. We have to confess that
the change came on gradually and
so far we have not been able to
see much difference. Probably the
granddad business will become
somewhat more apparent later on.
ZZ7ZZZ t
Within the life of a grandfather
there are usually a good m*#y
events occurring, with some of
them recurring several times. For
instance, the drouths of West Tex-
as. Just now there is a good deal
of argument over whether or not
we are going to have another de-
pression soon.
zzzzzz
This column refuses to predict.
For one thing, if we knew there
was a depression coming it would
not be our policy to say so. Go
ahead and enjoy prosperity — if
you have it. Hard times are bad,
of course: but it is barely possible
there might be some, with fixed
incomes, who would be glad to see
the time again when a dollar bill
is looked upon with respect.
7ZZZZZ
One of The Banner’s former edit-
ors is in town, in a captain’s uni-
form: and we are wondering this
week if there are not quite a few
around here who wish the Captain
was back After all, the communi-
ty is entitled to a pretty good news-
paper.
ZZZZZ7
Gracie Allen was telling about a
woman who was scolding her
youngun. She said: "When I pay
good money for you to see a show
I want you to enjoy it.”

Robert Ripley's column says that
the words, ravel and unravel, have
the same meaning.

“Bugs” Baer says the problem
before the 1949 graduating class
is. Can we afford to win another
war?
zzzzzz
Another columnist says: “The
older generation thought nothing
of getting up at 6:00 o'clock in
the morning—and the younger
generation today doesn't think
much of it either.”
zzzzzz
A Mangum pastor and his fam-
ily started out on their vacation
without knowing where they were
going to spend It. That’s interest-
ing all right: but if there was not
any place they wanted to go, why
go anywhere at all? After all,
home beats some places.

COLLOQ.: “Can you find out
what makes the thing not go?”
Good Attendance
And Interest in
Youth Program
James Johnson, director of the
boys part of the youth program,
reported this week that everything !
is going along very smoothly and {
that interest and attendance is |
good. So far he has had 172 boys
to enroll. Average daily attend-
ance first week was 93 in the morn-
ing and 87 in the afternoon. The
second week's daily average
dropped under this mark some,
which was caused by one rainy day
when a number of the boys didn’t
show up.
Johnson has five softball teams
organized, and two of these met
in a game Monday night as a pre-
liminary to a city softball league

All-Stars Beat
Stamford 2-1
Wednesday Nite
| state, from Castro County, had
previously been beaten by the
Baylor County boys, and they won
at Lubbock over other teams that
placed near the top at College Sta-
tion.
Going back a little. Agent Mc-
Clung and his boys had attended
the elimination contests at Lub-
bock on June 4th. In the district
of 20 counties the Baylor team
won first place, and was then first
in an elimination of four districts.
Not only that, but our team won
first, second and fourth in indi-
played last night at Stamford. The
Seymour All-Stars won by the
score of 2 to 1, which is the same
score that resulted from a previous
meeting of the teams.
Stamford scored in the first
inning, when a batter was hit and
sacrificed to second, coming on a
hit by the next batter. In the
fourth inning Clifton Rogers of
Seymour hit a homer. Then in
the ninth we scored again on two
hits and a high infield grounder
by' Charles Hatter. In the last
half of the ninth George Ray, sec-
ond baseman for Seymour, fielded
a sensational one-handed catch of
a line drive that literally raised
him off the ground.
Seymour had 2 runs, 5 hits and
no errors. Stamford got 1 run.
5 hits, and haefe 1 error. E. W.
Mickler struck out 6 of our men,
while Red Johnson got 8 of theirs.
Last week me All-Stars* won a
well fought game with Electra,
6 to 0. The Electrans held solid
for five innings, and then could
do nothing against the heavy hit-
ting of G. L. Forester et al. In
that game Red Johnson pitched a
1-hitter and struck out 14 men.
Not only that, but he hit a home
run in the fifth, with one man on.
Friday night at Wichita Falls,
Southern Select shut out the Sey-
mour team, 2 to 0. Myron Ramey
of Select and James Johnson for
the All-Stars each pitched a one-
hit game. Two errors in the third
and fifth, cost Seymour the game.
The All-Stars have now won 16
games out of 21 starts, which is
not a bad percentage.
Next Wednesday the All-Stars
go to Graham for a game. Then
two games will be played here
the latter part of next week.
NICE SHOWER
After several days of fair and
warm weather, the clouds came
back Wednesday afternoon, and
last night they gave us .17 of an
inch of rain. Also, they brought
the coolest temperature for the
week. 68 degrees. Mrs. Daughtery
reports high of 99 on Tuesday and
Wednesday.
The shower was just what we
needed. After so much rain the
top of the ground had become
baked, and this will soften it up.
The stretch of fair weather has
enabled the wheat farmers to fin-
ish up with their crops. Most
of the cotton and feed crops are
up, and the shower will benefit
them. In a few instances these
crops are still being planted.
According to Johnson several boys
have learned to swim already. He
will not permit them to go into
deep water until they are able to
swim across the pool. As soon as
the boys are all swimming he in-
tends to start lifesaving practice
and demonstrations.
Also several of the boys have
enrolled in Mrs. Horace Ledbet-
ter's leathercraft class and have
completed their first projects, that
of making key eases, billfolds, etc..
George Sims Jr. has been help-
ing Johnson, especially in softball
games, by umpiring and giving in-
structions, and is also helping in
the swimming classes.
No report has been turned in on
the girls' part of the program, but
it is understood that all is going
well.
The above photo shows the Waggoner Estate fogging machine in op-
eration in Seymour. The machine is the properly of the Waggoner Es-
tate and is placed at the disposal of cities in this area for the purpose
of controlling insects. A DDT solution is used and the fine fog pene-
trates the weed patches in the alleys and along the streets, killing flies
and mosquitoes. I. N. Ronhovde, Tity secretary, stated that every thing
possible is being done to keep down disease-bearing insects. Recently
the city purchased a new mowing machine and it has been in constant
use cutting weeds in the alleys and on vacant lots in an effort to de-
stroy insect breeding places. At the present time a deal is under way
to spray the city from the air, with Bob Chisholm of the Seymour Air- i vidual contests Our team is com-
port doing the spraying. City officials are urging property owners to posed of Garland Vandever, Gcr-

While in College Station the
boys attended the state 4-H Club
meeting, for boys and girls, and
they had a great time. The pro-
gram was one well worth going
that far, and there were splendid
entertainment features. While the
meeting was in progress, Tuesday |
and Wednesday of last wteek. the
club members were taken for a
tour of A. & M. College and the
grounds. About 15(H) club mem-

SAFETY ASSOCIATION
WARNS AGAINST BLIND
FLYING’ IN AUTOMOBILE
AUSTIN, June 22.—Would you
drive with your head tucked under
the dashboard of your car?
It’s as sensible to do that, State
Highway Engineer D. C. Greer said
today, as to ignore warning signs
along the streets and highways.
"Either one represents a case of
flying blind,” Greer said, "and cars
aren't equipped for blind flying."
The Texas Highway Department
is cooperating this month with tfce
Texas Safety Association in an ef-
fort to impress the importance of
traffic markers on motorists and
pedestrians alike.
"Traffic signs and signals and
pavement markings cover almost
every situation that can be antici-
pated, yet the regularity with
which they are ignored is appall-
ing," Greer said. "A contientious
observance of traffic signs would
help greatly to reduce traffic acci-
dents.”
Greer pointed out that traffic
i signs are easily recognized by their
distinctive shapes, even at a dis-
tance that makes their lettering il-
legible. And he urged drivers to
increase their own traffic protec-
tion by learning what these shapes
are.
"Round markers are used to in-
dicate approaches to railroad cross-
ings," he said. "The familiar ‘cross-
buck' marks the crossing itself. Ob-
long signs indicate speed limits or
other regulatory instructions. Dia-
mond shape signs warn of danger
ahead. Eight-sided signs are used
only for stop signs.”
The Highway Engineer empha-
sized that every sign has a mean-
ing and a purpose, and is installed
for the protection and guidance of
the people only after study by traf-
fic engineers has established its
advisability.
July 28,29,30
The Chamber of Commerce had
its last luncheon for the summer
yesterday, at the Club Cafe. It
was voted to suspend meetings
during July and August.
Henry Arledge received the
guest prize, a free dinner.
One visitor was introduced, Capt.
Olin C. Harrison of Fort Knox,
Ky., who was formerly one of the
most active members of the Sey-
mour Chamber of Commerce. Ced-
dric stated he had two furloughs
per year, both of which are spent
here, and he is stiyy very much
interested in his old home. The
Capt. gave a little insight into his
work and into army life, which
was of interest to his buddies here.
Three new grandfathers were in-
troduced, Joe Cox, Carl Snyder
and O. C. Harrison.
President Judson Balch called
on W. B. Flewharty to report as
chairman of the advertising com-
mittee of the rodeo, and he stated
that the work of his committee
was well advanced. T. E. Crad-
dock and L. P. Nolen had made
a canvass on the matter of floats
for the parades, and not too much
interest has been shown in this
feature. Mr. Flewharty made men-
tion of publicity that is hoped to
be received in state papers re-
garding the rodeo.
Most of the remainder of the
session was given over to the rodeo,
and this data is given in a sep-
arate article in this issue.
Another feature of the luncheon
was a report by County Agent
Roy McClung on the 4-H Club
boys stock judging team; and a
separate story is being carried on
that.
Sec. O. McDaniel made mention
of a new veterinary. Dr. E. B.

CLYDE KEITTS TO MOVE HERE
Seymour people are very happy
over the news that Mr. and Mrs,
Clyde Keitt of Hubbard are to
become residents of this place.
They have bought the Bob Baskin
home in the northwest part of
town, and will move here as soon
as the house can be redecorated.
Mrs. Keitt is the former Miss
Mattie Fancher, and was born and
reared at this place. At her new
home she will be near two other
sisters, Mrs. Hattie Caldwell and
Mrs. Ella Ketner of Long Beach Mrs. J. E. Culver. Of late she has
was a caller Thursday morning at
The Banner office to renew her
paper. She stopped here for a
little while on her way back to
California from a trip to Missouri
and on to some of the eastern
states. One main point of inter-
est was Washington, D. C.. where
she saw President Truman, Gen.
Clay and the president of Argen-
tina. Mrs. Ketner has lived in
California for a number of years,
and enjoys the fine climate. But
she says they have all kinds of
people, including hot radicals, and
she is wondering Just how far
out country is going in the mat-
been bothered with arthritis, and
feels certain she will be better of
it in this climate. All hope so.
The Keitts have lived at Hubbard
ever since their marriage, and
Clyde has been in the banking
business there. He has sold his
banking interests, and it is pre-
sumed he and his wife may make
other investments here. It wiff be
a great pleasure to have them with
us, and we hope they will be as
happy here as is given to mere
mortals.

Preston A. Taylor, Pastor
veston on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday of last week. There
were 17 who went from here, as
follows:
FirC Chief Julius Orsak, Fire
Marshal Bob Nix, together with
Mrs. Nix and Douglas and Doyce;
George Mocek; Mr. and Mrs. How-
ard Hurd, Howard II and Char-
lotte: Mr. and Mrs. O. K Hoyle,
Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Thurman, Mr.
and Mrs. Floyd Shaver and Shir-
ley Holmes. Orsak, Hurd and
Hoyle were delegates from the
local department. Mrs. Lessie Ross
also went down with our dele-
gation and visited her sister in
Galveston.
There were 519 registered dele-
gates at the meeting. A number
of big shots attended, and there
was plenty of talent on the pro-
gram. Olin Culberson, railroad
commissioner, was present, as has
been his custom for many years.
The Department of Public Safety
was well represented. In the hose
race there were 39 teams com-
peting.
The entertainment features in-
cluded a square dance and a reg-
ular ball, with sailing on the Bay.
The Seymour delegation went out
to the San Jacinto Battlefield, and
also went on the Battleship Texas.
It rained on our party all the
way down.
Much advertising will be done
at the Archer City Rodeo this
week and the Cowboy Reunion at
Stamford next week. Members of
the Remuda Club will attend these
events, shipping their horses by
truck, and will ride in the par-
ades. Sam Jones reported to the
Chamber of Commerce meeting on
activities of the Remuda Club,
in the absence of President Floyd
Davis. At Archer City the club
members will serve their own bar-
becue dinner, and will ask for no
special favors from their hosts. A
group of 50 seats was reserved for
the Archer City show, where it
was expected that all Seymour
will be seated together.
At the Archer City Rodeo Sey-
mour will be represented by Miss
June Prichard as sponsor. Miss
Prichard had the misfortune of
getting her horse hurt, but H. P.
Arledge, general chairman of the
Seymour Rodeo, came to the res-
cue by furnishing a splendid mount
for our sponsor.
Chairman Arledge reported to
the Chamber of Commerce meet-
ing that considerable work has
been done on getting the south
road to the rodeo grounds gravel-
ed, and it seems that the project
will be undertaken. The north
road is already paved, it being a
portion of the county’s first farm-
to-market road.
Mr. Arledge stated that a new
set of stalls has been put in at
the rodeo grounds, and everything
will be ship-shape for the big e-
vent. It was pointed out that
with Seymour's double arena, we
have an advantage over other af-
fairs of this kind that might as
well be pushed. And our show
is being talked up everywhere.
Every individual here is asked to
help spread the news between now
and rodeo time.
Mr. Arledge stated that stock
has again been contracted for with
"Goat” Mayo. This time Mr. Mayo
has contracted to feed and care
for the stock, hiring whatever
help he may need for this work.
While he was here M. L. lien-
yan had us to put him down to
receive The Banner for a year,
to be sent to Route 1, Box 17,
NEW BUSINESS FOR SEYMOlt*
Bill Brock and wife and their
little daughter are new residents
of this place, moving here from
Wichita Falls. Mr. Brock has liv-
ed there most of his life.
The Brocks have bought nine a-
cres from Mr. and 51 rs. T. J Prater,
on the west side of the Brazos
bridge. This is a little way down
the Throckmorton highway, and
second door north of the Prater
home. On the two acres fronting
the highway will be built a resi-
dence for the family, together with
a building to house the stock of
parts Mr. Brock will carry. In
fact, he already has a pretty good
stock of parts, and has them dis-
played the best way possible. '
An ad is carried in The Banner
this week in regard to the new
busineses. Mr. Brock says he in-
tends to carry parts for nearly
everything that goes. Some of
them will be second hand and
some new. The public will hear
more about Mr. Brock's new busi-
ness.
