Baseball Boys, Jaycees To Kitk-Off
Annual Candy Sale July 4
July 4 will be the kirk off
day for the Baseball Boy’s
annual candy sale project.
The Cedar Hill Jaycees and
80 baseball players have pled-
ged to sell 1000 cans of candy
in the next two weeks.
Two types of candy will be
sold. One is an after dinner
mint and the other is a peanut
crunch. It is sold in one
pound cans at a cost of a
dollar a can.
The five top salesmen
among the boys will receive
a six transistor radio for
selling the most candy.
As most people in town
know, the summer baseball
program has been sponsored
each year by the Jaycees, Each
year the program has grown
in size and expense.
This year two new teams
were added making a total of
six teams. The new teams
required additional uniforms
as well as equipment.
As the number of teams
grow, so does the cost of the

The Reunion has been here
and gone. One woman said
that the best part about the
carnival was that it only lasted
a few days once a year.
The youngsters, however,
would like to see It last much
longer.
We walked over the grounds
a half a dozen times before
we could find someone who won
one of those huge stuffed toys
that were displayed in most of
the booths.
As usual, the firemen mana-
ged to almost get water logged
In their “Nigger Dunk" booth
and their wives baked pies
and served corn dogs until
they were exhausted and glad
that the reunion is a year away.

Bits and Pieces.* We got a
pamphlet in the mail recently
telling how young men could
keep from being drafted.
. The title—“Choosing Your
Draft Classification For The
Young Churchman."
Also Included is copy of the
so called “Berkely Pamph-
let," which describes in detail
how to become a draft dod-
gr.
Some of the suggestions in
the Berkely pamphlet are

of warning about being careful
while mowing lawns this sum-
mer. Each year many people
are injured by pieces of wire,
wood and other things being
thrown from lawn mowers.
Extreme care should be
taken to see that all metal and
large rocks have been picked
up before starting to mow.
This warning comes a little
late for our Pop. He pushed
the mower only a few feet last
Thursday before he hit a piece
of wire and it was thrown
through his shoe and cut two
toes, requiring stitches in
both.

June Weddings: Today ends
the month of weddings for this
year.

Youth Council: In contrast
to the draft dodging material
we received a notice that the
Annual Thxas Youth Con-
ference will be held August
18 to 21 in Austin.

Citizen of the Week: In
an unavoidable mix up, we
eame up lael
baseball program.
Marvin Chapman of the
Cedar Hill Jaycees explained
that the profits made at the
concession stand, the annual
candy sale, and individual do-
nations make summer base-
ball possible. The funds made
at the concession stand are
kept in a separate baseball
fund and are carried over from
year to year.
The $4.65 paid by the
parents for each player pays
for insurance and a baseball
cap only.
Chapman said that if the
boys sell their quota of candy
an estimated $400 will be
added to the fund. The esti-
mated cost of the baseball pro-
gram this year is more than
$1000.
“When a boy rings your
doorbell this week, buy a can of
candy or two and let’s all pro-
mote boys baseball in Cedai
Hill," Chapman said,

******** *«
• Marshall, Riding Modern Mount,*
.’Overtakes, Captures Bad Hombre *
A real western melodrama
unfolded in Cedar Hill Mon-
day night.
The “Marshal’’ spied the
“varmint" rod handed and the
chase began. The culprit was
cornered and captured.
However, the trusty old cow
pony doesn’t got the creditthis
time. The credit goes to a
Volkswagon.
It seems that the Cedar
Hill Jaycees had suspected
that the concession stand at
the baseball field was being
tampered with. On a hunch
the “Marshall.” a Jaycee by
the name of Marshall C. Smith,
came back to Cedar Hill early
from a ball game and turned
off his lights as he entered
the school grounds on the way
to the ball field.
As he came near the field
he turned the lights back on
again and sawarqanrun. Then
th»» chase began, the thief on
foot and the ’Marshall’’ and
his son, James, in the trusty

Volkswagon,
As the man neared a fence,
Smith ordered him to stopand
raise Ids hands or he would
run him down. The thief
walked with hands above his
head in front of the car. to
Highway 67 where Smith stop-
lied and searched him.
Tlie man was then put into
the front of the car. Smith
drove to Lee Smithy’s Gulf
station and called the police.
The police came and the sus-
pect was arrested.
Smith later learned that the
“varmint” was a 30-vear-old
Dallas ex-convict with a long
prison record of arrest for
drug addiction and sexcrimes
as well as theft.
Tiie suspect kept telling
Smith that his buddy was still
back at the field. later, after
a careful check Sheriff’s
deputies, it was discovered
that the man or men were
stealing the electrical wiring
from the ball field and that it
was possible that the partner
had climbed up a light pole
so that Smith didn’t see him
when he drove up.
Wire cutters and wire that
had been taken off the light
poles were discovered by the
deputies.
The suspect told officers
that he planned to burn the
insulation off the wire and sell
the copper.
So, in Cedar Hill this week,
it’s “HI Ho Volkswagon, the’
Marshall rides again.”
