THE SHAMROCK TEXAN, Shamrock, Texas

president cordially shook hands with
this visitor, following introductions
by his secretary, Carl Rott, and with
his first question demanded to know
the health of an old friend, Gene
How'e, publisher of the News-Globe.
Next, before we could pop an in-
terrogative, he voiced regTet at the
death 01 another friend, Wilbur
Hawk.
The governor, kindly and plain in
appearance, but with piercing and
appraising brown eyes under his
currently slightly rumpled graying
hair, spoke unhurriedly, but not fal-

tering nor with hesitation. He im-
mediately placed his visitor at ease
with his friendly manner, and an-
swered all qiledtdons in a direct
manner.
During the chat, necessarily brief,
due to his condition, he mentioned
his activities at one time in the oil
! business in the Panhandle. An in-
{ dependent ojferajtor, he drilled a
| shallow test near Shamrock a num-
! ber of years ago.
He likes the Panhandle, and he
likes the people. It has many traits
similar to Kansas. Perhaps this ex-
plains his attitude toward this sec-
tion. He didn’t elaborate.
What does he think about the
election? He doesn’t think of the
possible results (not publicly at
least). He is too busily engaged in
forming his speeches, discussing
itineraries, and the thousands of
other details which haunt a Presi-
dential candidate despite his host of
aides.
Naturally, he is optimistic. He has
been increasingly so during the past
two weeks, and the hurriedly-ar-
ranged trip to California resulted in
a reception which gratified the en-
tire Landon party.

Butane gas is used generally as a
fuel for gas stoves in farm homes
throughout this section. The filling
station tank held 60 barrels, or 1,000
pounds of gas. The tank on the
truck had 100 pounds capacity.
Force of the gas escaping through
the valve was so great that it flat-
tened a five-foot fence and was
tearing the siding from a nearby
house when the explosion occurred.
As it lose in the air, the gas turned
from milk white to a fog-color.
Workers at the filling station fled
before the explosion.
The cloud had moved past the
courthouse before a section of it
touched the trash fire. The bolt
of flame shot both north and south
to the ends of the cloud drift. The
explosion of the truck and tank
were almost simultaneous.
Former Senator-

the nation,” Couzens had added,
“the outcome of my own candidacy
for the Senate is neither important
to the nation or to me.”
Couzens’ charitable benefactions,
estimated to total more than $20,-
000,000, were devoted principally to
aiding unfortunate children.
Ford Paid Him $3#,000,000
He established in 1929 a $10,000.-
000 trust fund and stipulated that
the money, with an additional es-
timated $7,500,000 income, must be
spent within 25 years to promote
health and happiness of the chil-
dren of Michigan and elsewhere. In
1935 he added $2,156,675 in securi-
ties to the fund.
The senator’s association with
Henry Ford which started in 1903
ended after a disagreement over
policies in 1915. Later Couzens sold
his Interest In the motor car com-
pany to Henry and Edsel Ford for
nearly $30,000,000.
The Independent and outspoken
opinions of COuzens alienated many
leaders of the Republican party. He
frequently disregarded partisan lines
and supported many Roosevelt “New
Deal” measures.

FARM CLUBS
“The working surfaces in a kit-
chen should be the right height for
the woman who is to work in that
particular kitchen,” said Mrs. Floyd
Kirby, to members of the Lela Home
Demonstration Club which met in
the home of Mrs. W. R. Thornton
on Wednesday, October 21.
In the round-table discussion
which followed it was pointed out
that some women do not require
working surfaces to be the same
height. Miss Viola Jones, demonstra-
tor, could not meet with the club
due to a district conference. Plans
were made to make a mattress in
the near future.
Refreshments were served to Mes-
dames Ruby Johnson, Mrs. C. P.
Gott, Mrs. Floyd Kirby, Mrs. George
Close, and Mrs. Gorden Gatewood.

HURRAY FOR MEMPHIS SPECIAL!
(An Editorial)
The ones responsible for the Memphis special are due
a lot of praise from every football fan in our town and com-
munity and my hat’s off to them for this bit of thought-
fulness. And I hope that the entire town turns out for this
occasion and feel sure that this will be a trip that will be
enjoyed by all and one frrom which the entire town can de-
rive good, as it will create in the minds of all our neigh-
boring towns that we are a bunch that believe in doing
things in a big way and I think that it was mighty nice
of the Denver road to make the proposition that they did,
but after all we have done a lot for them, in that we have
one of the best football stadiums in the country named
Denver field. As most of you know this cost them a bit to
have this distinction, but if the railroad company should be
for any club in this country, they should at least lean a bit
toward the fighting Irish.

unexpected, although we had a nice

of folks and was a bit rough on
others.
