Wood, and Brenda Teague each

Coach Ellen Johnson said

local gym. Joshua has lost
only to Grandview after de-
feating Midlothian and Italy.

By Peggy Mobley
The sleet, ice and snow last
week really slowed down the
pace in Cedar Hill during the
week.
Folks found that they could
just stay at home and relax
since they couldn't even get
to work in some areas of the
county.
We think that folks are just
getting a little sissy as the
years pa^s though. We re-
member walking to school be-
hind the snow plows when we
were a child attending school
in Amarillo. At that time we
only wore a light jacket and
never even worried about get-
ting too cold but now we pile
on as many clothes as we can
and still freeze anyway.
This reminds me of a story
that we heard told at school a
few years ago
One student said that his dad
always reminded him that he
had to walk a long way to school
when he was a boy. He said
that at first his dad had said
lie walked two miles to school.
Later he said that he walked
three mile* to school. Still
later he walked five miles to
school.
We tried to explain that the
distance between home and
school didn’t change, the
father just liked to feel that
he was stronger then than he
feels now.
* **
We remember when we
walked six blocks to the store
and back and thought nothing
about it. Now we do well to
walk to the car and drive to
the store without feeling tired.
Maybe we are getting like
the song that we have been
hearing on the radio lately,
"My Can Do Can't Keep Up
With My Want To.”

This should prive to la* an
exciting year politically with
many campaigns alread\ being
planned.

On a county basis there will
be commissioners and judges
to elect.
The people of Texas will
face a wide open election to
choose a governor as well as
legislature this year.
The big election of the year
vill be the selection of a Pre-
sident of the United States in
November as well as senators
tnd congressmen.

Until he reaches the age of
21, a man’s parents are re-
sponsible for him. After 65,
he moves into retirement and
the government takes over.
Subtracting 21 from 65, a cal-
culation which we borrow from
something called the Detex
Tick Tock, leaves only 44
years in which a man is pretty
much on his own.
iBut of these 44 years, he
will, at 8 hours a day, sleep
one third of the time, thus
cutting the work life to about
30 years. Add in Saturdays
and Sundays off, national
holidays, vacations with pay
and other fringe benefits like
the coffee break and sick
leave, and the actual chore of
working for a living steadily
dwindles. In fact, counting
all the time a man doesn’t
work, you come up with the
astonishing fact that the aver-
age person works only about 7
years of his threescore and
10, or about one tenth of his
time.
Why it should seem so much
the other way is something no
one has satisfactorily explain-
ed.

giving some of the leading
citizens of the town their first
haircut when he had to put a
board in the seat to make them
high enough to have their hair
cut.
Cannady said that he was 78
last April 13 and that he began
cutting hair more than 60
years ago. When he first be-
came a barber he said that
the price of a haircut was 10
cents as was a shave. Later
the price was raised to 15
cents.
He said that he “gets a
kick out of barbering.” He
said that he had done other
jobs and had worked for the
railroad but that he enjoyed

Dale K. McLeod Elected President
Of Cedar Hill Chamber Of Commerce
The Cedar Hill Chamber of
Commerce has elected offi-
cers for the coming year. Dale
K. McLeod has been selected
as president.
McLeod, owner of a Dallas

the local chamber since its
beginning. He has worked
with the group in all of the
chamber activities.
Other officers elected are
Bobby Ammons, vice-presi-
dent; Jack Sapp, secretary;
and Ralph Jones, treasurer.

barbering and had rather do
that than anything else.
Even though most barbers
now-a-days no longer shave
their customers, Cannady has
continued the practice.
He said that the main thing
about barbering was to be
careful not to leave a link out
because when a fellow turns
his head, it will show.
Cannady has been in the
same location for more than 20
years. He still uses much of
the fixtures that he started
with, but is proud of his tools
that are the latest and has to
be ordered from a barber sup-
plier.
One of the most interesting
features of the shop is a large
grandfather’s clock that Can-
nady says was blown away in
the famous tornado that hit
Cedar Hill 102 years ago and
at that time belonged to the
Trees family.
Some of his customers, like
George Bowlen , come from
Oak Cliff and Dallas to have
Cannady cut their hair.
Though he enjoys his work,
he was experiencing some dif-
ficulty Tuesday morning as
he was heating water on a gas
heater due to frozen water
pipes in his shop.
John Stearman
Injured Saturday
John Stearman Jr. received
a broken ankle last Saturday
when the Honda 50 motorcycle
he was riding collided with a
pick-up truck at Houston and
Cooper.
Mike Short, a witness to the
accident, said that Stearman,
15 years of age, was travel-
ing east on Cooper and the
pick-up, driven by an uniden-
tified man, was traveling north
on Houston when the accident
occurred.
Besides the broken ankle
Stearman had cuts and bruis-
es and was taken to Methodist
Hospital.
TTie Cedar Hill Junior High
Shorthorns stampeded and
trampled the Italy Gladiators
in two basketball contests this
week.
Thursday night the local
boys took the first event by a
score of 37 to 25 in a game on
the Gladiators home ground.
Italy Defeats
Longhorns
Italy outscored Cedar Hill
20 to 6 in the second quar-
ter and went on to capture the
victory 66 to 31.
The Longhorns worked the
ball well the first half for what
seemed to be good shots, but
the ball just wouldn’t drop
in. Hitting on only 5 of 25
field goal attempts the Long-
horn’s found the score 38 to
17 in favor of Italy.
The second half was much
the same as Cedar Hill had
trouble finding the range. Italy
is now 2 and 0 in conference
standing. Cedar Hill is 0 and
2. Leading scorer for CHHS
was Gary Sims with 10
points.
Cedar Hill will host Joshua
Friday for three games, the
first to begin at 6:00 p.m.
Longhorns Lose
To Yellowjackets
The Cedar Hill Longhorns
ventured to Ferris Friday
night for their second encoun-
ter of the season with the
Yellowjackets. The outcome
wasn’t any better to the Long-
horns’ liking as Ferris finish-
ed 48 to 32 in the lead.
Cedar Hill played a much
better game than in their last
encounter with Ferris, but the
rebounds still were the deter-
mining factor in the final re-
l
\i ^onghorns could mana-
ge only 22 percent of their
field goals, hitting two of
seventeen . the first half.
Ferris took an early lead
and maintained it throughout
the contest as Cedar Hill mat-
ched their scoring in the se-
cond half.
Leading scorers for Cedar
Hill were Alan Brown with 8
points followed by Pete Mur-
dock with 6.

Shorties Win
One, Lose One
This Week
The Shorties, smarting
from last Friday’s debated
23 to 22 loss to Italy at Italy
for the first loss of this sea-
son, retaliated with a super-
ior effort at Cedar Hill Mon-
day night to avenge themselves
with a 27 to 18 victory.
Karen King posted 13 points
while Joni Jones added 11 and
Vicky Vincent contributed 3.
Lauri Hickman, Becky Tea-
gue, Rene Camp, and Judy Hol-
veck aided the Shorties cause
with outstanding rebounding
and floor play.

first trophy of the year this

Duncanville Junior High Tour-
nament. They will meet Mans-
field in the first round of play

School Mascot Killed
Cedar Hill High School and Junior High School students
Tuesday mourned the death of a personal friend to most of
them, as an automobile took the life of George Henry Dogg.
George was a large black dog of questionable ancestory
that arrived at the school out of nowhere and refused to leave.
He decided that the school was his home and he could be
found almost anywhere that there were students around the
school. The FFA Chapter paid to have him vaccinated and
school officials seemed to look the other way when it came to
making George leave the scnoof ground. ,r *
One time a group of high school girls gave him a bath and
put a ribbon on him in the hope that he would be allowed to go
with the team to a football game. He didn't get to go, but he
was waiting for the bus after the game as was his usual
practice.
For some reason, Tuesday morning, George decided to
cross the busy highway in front of the school and was hit by
a car and killed in full view of many of his friends.
Though the school officials didn’t agree, many of the stu-
dents felt that a day of mourning should have been observed
for George Henry Dogg.
