West annually, due to the urgent
need for blood. Thus far this
year, 171 pints of blood have
been drawn at West in the two
previous visits. In the past, res-
idents of West, Tours, Leroy and
surrounding communities have
been extremely generous by do-
nating their blood.
Human lives are saved by
blood transfusions and human
blood cannot be synthetically re-
produced. Only you can give
blood Thursday. Do yourself,
your family and your neighbor
a favor.
There has been a change in
the age requirements, and 18
year olds can now donate blood
without the parents written per-
mission, and the age limit has
been increased to 65.
Giving blood does not hurt, in
fact, it is a wonderful feeling to
give blood. There is no question
that blood is desperately needed
— needed by four people every
minute of the day. You can feel
proud that you have done your
civic duty by making one more
pint of blood available in your
community.
Westites are fortunate to live
in a Red Cross Bloodmobile dis-
trict, for anytime they need
blood, anywhere, it is available
for their use.
Accidents, surgery and illness
never take a holiday, and the
need for blood is constant.

Coach Carlile
Gives Report
To Kiwanians
Derrell Carlile, head football
coach at West High School, gave
a report on the 1971 Trojan foot-
ball team at Wednesday’s noon
luncheon of the West Kiwanis
Club. Ed Sykora was the pro-
gram chairman for the day.
The Trojans have had two
scrimmages recently — one with
Rosebud-Lotd, and ithe other
with Mart High School. Much
improvement was seen in the
last scrimmage against Mart,
which will probably be the
largest team the Trojans will
face this year.
Kiwanian Carlile pointed out
that football is like the game of
life, that is, while everyone likes
to win, more thought should be
given to what the individual
player is getting out of football;
learning to work and sacrifice.
The Red Cross Bioodmobile
will again be in West Sept. 16,
at St. Joseph’s Hail from 2 un-
til 7 p.m. M. F. Kruse is chair-
man of this Kiwanis project.
The Kiwanis-sponsored Flag-
a-Tag football league for the
fourth, fifth and sixth grades
will begin Monday night at 6
p.m. at Trojen field.

One-Day Mail
Delivery To
Begin Oct. 31
By Oct. 31, you can be assured
of having a first class letter de-
livered the next day to most
Central Texas towns if you get
it in the mail box by 5 p. m.
and put a zip code on it.
So says Waco Postmaster Ed
Norwood, who Wednesday re-
vealed a list of communities af-
fected by the recently-announc-
ed overnight mail service plan.
‘The Postmaster General
(Winton Blount) has pointed out
that this program will affect
more than half of all first-class
letter mail sent in the United
States,” Norwood said. ‘‘So cus-
tomers of every post office in
the country will be benefitting
from the new service goal.”
He said the Postal Service has
set Oct. 31 as the deadline for
achieving a 95 per cent delivery
goal.
Norwood said zip-coded first-
class letters deposited by 5 p. m.
in business areas and at collec-
tion points on main thorough-
fares will reach the folowing
areas the next day:
Abbot, Aquilla, Avalon, Axtcll,
Birome, Blooming Grove, Blum,
Brandon, Bremond, Brueeville,
Bynum, Clifton, China Spring,
Chilton, Coolidge, Covington,
Cranfils Cap, Crawford, Dawson,

meeting at the concession stand
at Trojan Field.

Hospital Needs
Applicants For
Several Positions
Tony Beard, administrator of
the West, Community Hospital
started accepting applications
on Sept. 1, 1971, and several
things became evident:
—More RN applicants are
needed
—More nurses aides appli-
cants arc needed
—More x-ray and lab combi-
nation applicants are needed
—More housekeeping appli-
cants are needed.
Those appliying for nurses’
aides do not need experinece, as
they will be trained before the
hospital opens. Even after the
hospital opens, applications will
be accepted.
Beard stressed that it will
take a tremendous combined
effort on every one’s part in the
community to have a nice hos-
pital; one that you will be proud
of.

of a house life at the Richard

The winds of hurricane Edith,
called, a "very dangerous" storm
by the National Hurricane Cen-
ter, hit 100 miles per hour Wed-
nesday as it churned across the
Caribbean toward an undeter-
mined shore.
Wednesday no one could be
sure where Edith was going to
hit land, but she is now the
greatest hurricane since Celia
slammed into Corpus Christ!
Aug. 3, 1970, killing 13 persons
and wrecking $500 million in
property damage.
Of more immediate concern to
coastal residents was tropical
storm Fern, witli 60 mph winds.
It seemed probable Fern would
hit near the mouth of the Rio
Grande, in the Brownsville, Port
Isabel vicinity. Preparations
were being made for the evacu-
ation of Port Isabel if necessary.
Compared to Edith, a strongly
organized stormn spinning her
winds around a classical eye,
Fern was flat and sprawling, but
gathering strength.
In West the weather has been
iiof and muggy for the past few
days, reminding everyone that
summer is not over yet. Total
rainfall in September has been
.28 inch, with .14 falling on the

wire.
The girls contacted Woodway
police officer L. L. Johnson, who
in turn contacted the McLennan
County Sheriff’s Dept. Sheriff's
deputies Rex Phillips and Ed
Torres said Rainer was lying
near a 1970 Chevrolet with the
trunk open when they arrived.
Tlie deputies said a cocked .45
pistol lay nearby. "He had been
dead a very short time when we
arrived,” Deputy Phillips said
Tuesday. "He had been shot one
time through the back of the
head, and I believe he was shot
at that spot,” (Merryfield Rd.)
Justice of the Peace John Ca-
baniss came to the scene and
withheld a ruling in the death
pending an autopsy. "It appears
to be a homicide," he said Tues-
day, "but I have no official rul-
ing at this time.”
Phillips said both of Rainer's
legs were bound with baling wire
which was twisted tight behind
his legs. He said clothing was
scattered around the car. "It
appears that someone was look-
ing for something in Rainer’s
car," Phillips said.
He said all the buttons on
Rainer’s shirt had been ripped
off, indicating a struggle had
occurred.
Funeral services were held at
2:30 p.m. Wednesday at Wil-
kirson ancl Hatch Chapel with
Rev. Clifford Feeler officiating.
Burial was in Kosemouiui Ceme-
tery.
Rainer was born in Sandy
Point, Texas, and attended
Cuero and Gatesviilc Schools. He
served in the U.S. Marine Corps
from 1945 to 1955.
Recently, he had been em-
ployed by Southwestern Con-
struction Co., and had been
working on a highway construc-
tion job near Temple. He had
been to Vietnam five times as a
09 and Aug. I lleavy construction worker. He
had been living in Waco since
1965 when he moved here from
Pleasanton.
He is survived by his wife;
one son, Rickey Rainer oi Waco;

It all began with Mrs. Betty
Drews Grudziecki of Route 1,
Elm Mott backing her car from
in front of Keen’s, but it en-
ded with her car jumping the
curb and plowing into Keen's
new plate glass door.
Backing out, Mrs. Grudziecki
glanced back, saw a car ap-
brakes
and they didn't woik. As her
car tipped the fender of the ap-
proaching auto, driven by Mrs.
Christine Hruska, she put the
car in gear, and it took off,
over the curb and into the door.
The accident was investigated
by Police Chief Raymond Skar-
pa and he reported there was
only slight damage to the cars,
but Keen’s will need a new
door.
Mrs. H. L. Dabbs
Dies Mon. From
Wreck Injuries
A 59-year-old Mart woman
died Monday night in Provi-
dence hospital from iniuries she
received in a one-car accident
one mile north of Leroy on
Farm Road 308 about 4:45 p.m.
Dead is Mrs. H. L. Dabbs. She
received a broken right leg. frac-
tured ribs and internal injuries.
She died at 10 p.m. She was
taken to the hospital by Ader-
hoid Ambulance of West.
She was the seventeenth traf-
fic fatality in McLennan Coun-
ty this year and the only fa-
tality for the county during the
long Labor Day weekend. Her
auto reportedly ran off the road
into a 30-foot ditch.
One other mishap Sunday
night marred the holiday. Three
persons were slightly injured in
a car-truck accident about one
mile north of Elm Mott on 1-35
at approximately 11 p.m
8 p.m. kickoff of the 1971 sea-
Trojans have had two good
scrimmage games. In the first,
with Rosebud-Lott, the Trojans
didn’t look too good, but the
following week in their scrim-
mage with Mart they showed a
great deal of improvement.
Mart scored one touchdown
.against the Trojans, and West
got the ball across the goal line
once, but had the play called
back.
Both Rosebud-Lott and Mart
are rated among the best teams
in Central Texas. They are both
big and fast, and the Trojans
were lucky to come out of both
games with no injuries.
Most of West’s 1970 team was
seniors, and of the eight re-
turning only five were starters
last season, which means the
Trojans will be depending
heavily on many newcomers.
However, Clifton Sullivan is
back, ancl the 6-1, 170-lb. junior
should do much to bolster the
Trojans’ running attack. He is
an all-state candidate and was a
second team all-district selec-
tion last year. He is one of three
two-year lettermen on the team.
Joe Willis, another two-year
letterman, and David Glomb will
provide leadership and experi-
ence on the offensive team. Wil-
lis, 6-1, 165, plays center, while
Glomb, 6-1, 190, holds down a
tackle slot. Both are potential
all-district candidates.
Joining Suliivan in the back-
field will be quarterback Melvin
Coleman, halfback James Hark-
ins, and fullback Harry Kolar.
Richard Cernosek, a returning
starter, will team with David
Walker at the end positions.
James Culp is the other tackle.
Veterans Bimbo Hand and Jer-
ry Luco are the guards.
The Trojans are ready to go
tonight, but if they are to begin,
the 1971 season with a win, they
are going to need the support of
the local fans. Reicher always
has a good following, and you
can bet they are coming to West
for a win. It is going to be a
good game. Be sure you are there
and help get the ’71 season off
to a good start.
