West Well Represented
At State Fair Sunday
With eeverml hundred resident* of
Wert end vicinity attending the State
Fair of Ten* at Dallas Sunday.
Ca«x.h Day was an outstanding suc-
oaaa. Notable wai the overwhelming
acceptance of the local Slavic Club's
play at the 8. P. J. S. T. Hall in
Dallas Sunday evening.
A large number of local citizens
took advantage of the Katy Rail-
road's low round trip fare for the
day to attend the fair. Most of the
Slavic member* went via Texas Elec-
tric Railway, on two special car* hir-
ed for the occasion. Still other* went
via automobile and bu*.
It la estimated that probably 120,-
000 people attended the Fair Sunday,
a large number of which were there
for C’aech Day. The day'a program
via opened with a program in the
Auditorium in the morning at 10
o'clock. The Slavic choir from this
-city aang on this program, and did
^unusually well, according to report*.
At the close of thin program, the
remainder of the day was devoted to
viaiting the fair exhibit*.
* In the evening, at S. P J. S. T.
Lodge Hall No. 84. located in Dalla*.
the Slavic presented tt* play “Zidovy
Namluvy'' to a packet! house. This
first appearance of a West organisa-
tion there wan crowned with success,
over
accepted the^fdsy with
enthusiastic applause. Though"most
of the listeners were unacquainted
with those who took roles in the
play, they were overwhelming in
their praise of the actor*. Local
persons who obaerved the play from
the auditorium express themselves as
being very proud of the excellent
manner in which the players did
their role*. A. R. Neroecek also
scored with a solo, and a duet com-
posed of Misses Josephine Milberger
and Hattie Cocek drew an encore.
The hundred* of resident* of thisi
•action who attended returned home
late Sunday tired and sleepy, but re-
port one of the most enjoyable days
of their live*. Of added interest to
them was the triumph scored by
members of the Slavle and the state-
wide publicity which it will bring to

A larger n%i better floor space

Agriculture, Dairy, Poultry, Women’s
Department, Entertainment. There
is a separate committees in charge of
each division, and no effort or ex-

Child Dies In Waco
Jo Anne, 3-year-old daughter of
Mrs. Strange of near West, died in a
Waco sanitarium Monday, f uneral
service* were held at the Bold Springs
Cemetery Tuesday afternoon at 3:00
o’clock with Rev. McHenry Seal in
ped a 26 to 6 decision to the Granger-
ites at that city last Friday.
The score does not indicate the
closeness of the battle, for West
matched first down for first down
with the Bulldogs, each team register-
ing 12 first-and-tenners. Yardage
gained from running plays was 165
yards for the Trojans and 215 paces
for the Granger team. West com-
pleted 4 passes for 51 yards; Granger
completed 8 for 86 yards. West
punted twice for an average of 36
yards; Granger punted 3 time* for an
average ipf 44 paces. These statistics
indicate the closeness of the conflict.
Coach Kogelski’s Trojans exhibited
almost perfect form in the first
quarter to drive 70 yards unhalted
for their touchdown. Thomas return-
ed the kickoff to his SO. On the first
play Boone rapped off 9 yards around
left end and Urbis plunged the line
for a first down. Urbis sailed
around left end for 18 yards and ano
ther first down on the Granger 40-
yard marker, beautiful blocking aid
ing him in his jaunt. Two plunges
make it a first down on the 30, and
then a pass to Horsak carried the
ball to the 11-yard stripe. On fourth
down, another pass to Deiterman
carried the ball across for the initial
marker. A quick kick by Captain
Vitek of the Bulldogs got the locals
into a hole as the quarter ended, and
Granger had penetrated to the Tro-
jan 23-yard marker as the second
period opened. It took only two
plays to carry across. Lott doing the
toting. A 24-yard sprint and a 16-
yard pas* put the Bulldogs in a
threatening position again, and Vit-
ek’s 30-yard trip around right end
provided the wining score. The half
ended shortly after.
A quick kick by Vitek and an in-
tercepted paa* by the same gentle-
man gave Granger a scoring chance
soon after the third period opened,
and a 48-yard pass to Salyers made
the touchdown. Vitek kicked goal
and the score was Granger 16, West
6. A fumble which was recovered by
the Bulldogs provided the last mark-
er, Vitek smashing tackle for 15

urday, October 28th by Hon. Tom
Connally of Marlin, United State*
Senator from Texas. Senator Con-
nelly has a large number of friends
and admirers here, and a huge crowd
is expected for his address. His
last formal appearance here was in
1932, when he was the main speaker
at the July 4th Celebration.
Other parts of the program have
not been completed as yet, but will
be announced later this week. It is
assured, however, that Kohut’s Or-
chestra will furnish music during
Saturday.
On Friday night at 8 p. m. the
Baylor,.University Men’s Quartet will
appear at the Fair, singing a number
of selections. This group is known
as one of the best quartets ever to
appear in Waco, and their appear-
ance here will be watched with in-
terest. Professor Robert Hopkins is
their director. On Thursday evening
the West High School Girls’ Glee
Club will appear, and the Westonuyi
Orchestra will furnish mnsic.
In the matter of entertainments
for the huge crowds which will gath-
er for the fair, there is a change in
policy. In former years, a complete
carnival unit has been engaged for
the fair, but this year individual con-
cessions, and consequently better at-
tractions, have been contracted.
Outstanding of the concessions al-
ready obtained ie the miniature train,
a never-ending novelty to evei yo—.
which graced the grounds of the old
Texas Cotton Palace in Waco far a
number of years. Another festnm
attraction is a vaudeville act which
has played often at the Waco Thea-
tre. Other concessions will inclada a
Ferris Wheel, a merry-go-round
which displaces horses with aera-
rraft, an excellent mind reading act
and a great many other features.
Always one of the most internal
ing of all the departments, the Wo-
men’s Building this year will have a
large number of booths, a home aad
school booth, an art exhibit, an anti-
que booth, a Red Cross booth aad
many others.
One of the most popular portions,
the Czech exhibit, will be back this
year with more articles on ilisphqr
than formerly. Included will be ex-
hibits from West and from the Cseeh-
Slovakian republic. Those in chart*
assure the public that there will ha
plenty to see at this booth.
A ' department of assured interest,
the Dairy Show, will have a large
number of entries from all over this
territory. This annual show has bees
accepted in the past as being one ef
the best in this section of the atata,
and the 1933 exhibit is expected te
be no exception The Poultry Show,
too, will be larger than in the past.
«j£_
be the announcement that a number
of cash prize* have been offered te
winners in the two departnaaairt
Ribbon prizes will also be given la
all winner*.
With such a complete all-roaad
program having been planned for the
fair, committee* in charge are ran
that the 1933 fair will prove te ha
one of the most successful in history.
The fact that admission to all the
exhibits is free nr an incentive to at-
tendance, and the interesting pre-
gram and exhibits should draw •ew-
ers! thousand people to West for the
occasion.
Though the exposition is primarily
for West and the citizens of this city
and vicinity, a hearty welcome la ex-
tended to everyone to attend. Sur-
rounding communities are expected
to be represented here, and they are
assured a complete round of enter-
tainment. In past year* the local
fair has drawn people from all over
the state and it is expected to do aa
again this year.
The cooperation of local organise- (
tions is helping to make the fair m
reality, but attendance and co
tion of the citizenship of this I
Is what is needed to make the exhi-
bition a complete success. In tha
past, a large attendance and appre-
ciative acceptance from residents MI
this vicinity has put the District Fair
r the top. This year it should ha
| better than ever.
