The Victoria Klwanls club
lias launched a campaign In
that city which might wellj
be adopted by Cuero and)
other cities in this area . .j
a drive to rid the communi-
ty of tumbledown, abandon-
ed buildings which can no
longer be occupied and stand
today as an eyesore and a
fire hazard.
Numerous such shanties
can be found In Cuero.
Danger rather than hu-
mans dwell in such shacks.
They can be condemned.
Such a campaign, under
supervision of the local fire
department and city inspec-
tor, might well be one for
the ever alert Cuero Lions
club to attempt.
• • •
After inspecting the hand-
some tyuarters provided dis-
trict court Jurors when such
jurors are required to stay
overnight at the DeWitt
county court house, we an-
ticipate more deliberate de-
cisions In the future.
The quarters, completely
air conditioned, boast facill
ties which would be found
in only the most modern
hotels of the state.
Jurors are going to be hes-
itant to leave such comfort,
or at least we would.
Cuero citizens who have
not as yet inspected the
court house will find their
trip revealing and most in-
teresting. The entire arran-
gement is on the “super"
side.

ATLANTA. Aug. 26. - 40) —
A speeding freight train crashed
through a tool car filled with
railroad workers at the Inman
Yards here today. Four men
were killed and a fifth badly in-
jured.
Authorities said seven work-
ers of a Southern Railroad der-
rick crew were in the tool car
awaiting pickup by a train that
was to take them to a wrecked
car when the freight accident-
ly smashed into the car.
Two crewmen jumped to safe-
ty just before the collision, but
the other five were unable to
get out of the small rail car. The
rolling freight train smashed
completely through the wooden
car.
The dead were identified as
D. C. Blackstock, C. E. Ricks.
Sr.. R. M. Morgan and R T

area.
Railroad officials were at a
