Livestock Market Stronger
In Fort Worth Monday
By BENNIE O’BRIEN
wwwvvvwywwvwwwu
If precedents set by the last
five presidential elections should
by some chance be broken next
Tuesday, and the nation elect a
Republican president, senate and
house, then the Republican party
will be placed in a position the
like of which it has not exper-
ienced in recent years.
If this should happen, the Re
publicans would no longer be the
critics. They would immediately
find themselves charged with the
responsibility of delivering the
goods, and this responsibility,
should it be thrust upon them,
should serve to sober the party
and to drive it perhaps a bit
toward the center rather than
more to the right.
Too, a defeat for the Democrats
could reasonably be expected to
purge that party of the extreme
leftists who have been more and
niore influential in Democratic
party affairs during the last two
decades, and thus serve to drive
the Democrats also toward the
FORT WORTH.—Heavy move-
ment of cattle and calves contin-
ued this week. However, a strong-
er stocker and feeder market and
broader demand for replacement
cattle and calves helped prices
away to a better start at Fort
Worth Monday. Fat calves shared
the stronger market. Many sales
of stockers and fat calves were $1
or more above a week ago at Fort
Worth. First interest in many
weeks in lightweight stocker
calves this week resulted in some
calf sales sharply higher for their
kind. Typical was a lot of 42
calves at 216 pounds at $24.50.
Hugh Rogers, Knox county, had
32 stocker steer yearlings at 521
pounds at $22.50, with 31 heifers
at 493 pounds at $18. G. R. White,
Brady, had cows at $14.50 and
$15.50. Curtis Martin, Motley
county, sold cows at $14 and $16
at Fort Worth Monday, Mrs. Jes-
sie Mae Williams, Midland, had
three loads of 961-lb. cows at
$12.50. C. F. Mock, Oklahoma, had
two loads of 1,152-lb steers at $29.
. ,, . i Lambs were strong to 50 cents
rection. °PP°Slte I hi*her at Fort Worth Monday, and
Conversely, a defeat for the Re-
publicans and another Democratic
victory will probably only serve to
drive the Democrats farther to the
left and impel the Republicans to
purge the more liberal elements
of the party which helped to nomi-
nate Eisenhower.
If no considerations other than
these existed, they would be good
arguments for retirement of the
Democrats and elevation of the
Republicans to power. We do not
need in this two-party country one
party of the extreme left and
ewes were mostly 50 cents up.
Feeders and yearlings ruled steady.
Good and choice fed steers and
yearlings drew $23 to $31, and
plain and medium sorts sold from
$14 to $16, a few heirerettes to
$18. Canners and cutters cleared
at $7 to $13. ^ulls sold from $10 to
$18.50.
Good and choice slanghter calves
sold for $18 to $23, with fancy
heavyweights of 500 to 600 pounds
at $23 to $36. Plain and medium
butcher sorts cashed at $14 to $17,

Childrens’ Photos Again
“The best investment is in
children,” says Wm. J. Cameron.
“You had better take a good look
at them as they pass you on the
street, for they are the ones who
are going to make a new world
for you, and you can catch some
glimmer of the dawn in their fresh
young faces.”
That is a bit of philosophy in
which the publishers of this news-
paper firmly believe. And because
we think our readers should
“Catch some glimmer of the
dawn,” we intend to help them do
it. That is, of course, with the co
operation of the mothers and
fathers of the children of this and
surrounding communities.
Nationally Known Studio
To Take Pictures
The only way we can give all
our readers a good look at those
future “World builders” is by pub-
lishing pictures of them in a
feature series titled “Citizens of
Tomorrow.”
To assure the latest and best
reproduction pictures—they must
be of uniform size and quality—
we have made arrangements with
the Woltz Studios, nationally
known children’s photographers, to
take these special pictures for us.
Expert children’s photographers
for the studios, with all the neces-
sary equipment for this- special-
ized work, will be here Monday,

have had a taste of that in the | Hogs topped at $18> Jowest
years since 1932, and the bitter-
ness and class-consciousness en-
gendered have not been good for
us.
The Record believes that if we
lay aside all such issues as tide-
lands, Joe McCarthy, the Korean
war and other vitally important
questions, we are still faced with
the fact that if our government is
to remain a responsible one, we
must have parties which possess
integrity and are worthy of re-
sponsibility. We can not have two
such parties if one of them remains
in power too long.
The Democratic party has re-
mained in power too long. It is
time for a change.

Reminiscing, Bill Gearhart tells
of an old dog which his family
owned when he was a boy. The dog,
Bill said, had a habit of following
the wagon everywhere it went on
week days. On every day except
Sunday, if the wagon was hitched
to a team and being used, the dog
could always be found right behind
it.
It was different on Sundays,
however. When the wagon was
readied to take the family to
church, with chairs placed in its
bed, the dog took his position on a
stile block near the front door and
didn’t budge until the family got
back from church. No amount of
persuasion could induce him to
follow that wagon on Sunday.
Nowadays, with the five-day
week in effect, the dog would
probably stay at home on Satur-
days, too.
since April, 1952. Sows drew $14
to $16.50.
Good and choice stocker calves
ranged from $17 to $24.50, some
mixed steer and heifer calves
averaging 216 pounds at $24.50,
and some plain and medium kinds
sold from $13 to $17. Stocker steer
yearlings cashed at $14 to $22.50.
Stocker cows drew $11 to $18. Sev-
eral sizable shipments of feeder
steers and heifers sold in the $16
to $19 bracket.
Medium, good and choice slaugh-
ter lambs sold from $8 to $15.
Cull lambs and yearlings, as well
as some cull twq’s, sold from $6 to
$8. Aged wethers sold from $4 to
$8, and slaughter ewes drew $3.50
to $5. Old bucks sold from $3 to
$4. Slaughter yearlings drew $8 to
$15.

There Will Be No
Charge To Parents
There is no charge to the par
ents! There are absolutely no
strings to this invitation. There is
no age limit. It is bona fide in
every sense of the word. Parentss
do not have to be subscribers, nor
even readers of this newspaper
to take advantage of this feature.
Neither are they obligated to pur-
chase pictures after they are
taken. Those who want some ad-
ditional prints may obtain a limit-
ed number by arrangement with
the representative when they se
lect the pose they want printed in
the paper.
It is entirely up to them!
The More Pictures The Better.
The Record simply wants photos
of all the youngsters and the more
the better. Mothers and fathers
of the community in which this
paper circulates should remember
the day and dates, Monday,' Nov
ember 3, at the Legion hall and not
fail to bring their chidren to the
photographer.
You will be mighty glad, after-
wards, if you did, and very, very
sorry if you fail to allow your
children to participate in this
event. The kiddies will have much
fun and both Mother and Dad-
and the youngsters, too.—will be
very proud to see their pictures in
print later. Many will clip them
out and preserve them until Junior
grows up.

Extensive improvements
State Highway 289 are included in
a 20-million-dollar repair and im-
provement program on Texas
highways announced last week by
the Highway Department.
In Collin county, the work ’will
include straightening of Highway
289 from Marilee south for two
miles, and the construction of three
bridges. This will presumably
straighten the winding section of
the road immediately south of
Marilee, and the replacement of
the three inadequate wooden
bridges between Marilee and the
Alla school.
Also scheduled on 289 are throe
and eight-tenths miles of addition-
al surfacing from Highway t 24
north. This additional surfacing
will probably be of the type re-
cently applied to the road betv/een
Celina and the Atkins corner, and
it is-apparently contemplated to
finish this surfacing from the
Atkins corner south to Highway
24.
Farther south, additional sur-
facing will be applied to 289 be-
tween FM 720 (old Highway 24),
and Highway 121, for a distance
of 4 miles.
For 7.5 miles, sections of the
road between 121 and the Dallas
county line will also be given ad-
ditional surfacing, and in this
stretch four bridges will be re-
placed.
An authoritative source Tuesday
told The Record that the bridges
to be built on this road will all be
of modern concrete construction,
but that no bridges would now be
built on sections of the road that
were not considered to be perman-
ent locations of the right of way.
Work will begin this winter and
is scheduled for completion next
summer.
Other projects in Collin county
include 12.6 miles on State High-
way 78, from State Highway 24
at Farmersville to Pilot Grove
creek, seal coat; 12.4 miles on
State Highway 121, from Denton
county line to FM 720, seal coat;
2.1 miles on State Highway 24,
from the Denton county line to
State Highway 289, seal coat;
11.2 miles on FM 545, from Melis-
sa to Blue Ridge, seal coat.

Los Angeles Coliseum recently as Woodley Lewis of the Rams
intercepted a Lion pass, but probably wished he hadn’t after Lions
bounced him out of bounds in this undignified manner. Lewis
had returned the ball 30 yards before coming to this dead end. The
Detroit Lions won, 17-14, over the Los Angeles Rams.

71-0 Here Last Friday
The Leonard Tigers marched
over the Celina Bobcats last Fri-

Leading the Tigers in their scoring
was their big fullback, Glenn Sav-
age, who scored practically at will.
The Bobcats twice got within the
20-yard line but saw the ball go
over to the Tigers on fumbles. In-
juries were received by Kenneth
Howard, Bob King, Glendon Phil-
lips and Norman Pafford. The
Bobcats will again try their luck
on the local field Thursday night
against the Bells Panthers.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
The First Presbyterian Church
will observe next week the Sesqui-
centennial of its Board of National
Missions, celebrating 150 years of
service for the Kingdom of God
throughout continental United
States, Alaska and the West Indies,
which has been made possible by
support of local churches.
The Sesquicentennial will be ob-
served at the Sunday morning
worship service and at the Wed-
nesday evening “family night.” A
film, “And Now Tomorrow,” es-
pecially made for the observance,
will be shown Wednesday evening.
The film emphasizes the parallel
development of the church and the
nation and tells of the heroic ac-
complishments of missionary fig-
ures.
Dr. Vance Stallcup, Celina den-
tist, picked up The Record last
week and was reading a biographi
cal sketch of Billy Parish, local

reference to Parish’s ship being

World War II. Stallcup realized
from the description of the event
that he had been on a ship which
was in the same task force as
Parish’s and that he had seen Par
ish’s ship torpedoed.
Stallcup, navy lieutenant during
the war, and Parish, a navy medic
serving with a marine unit, did not
know each other until about three
years ago.

Two widely separated areas in
Texas face an upsurge in rabies
between now and June, State
Health Officer Geo. W. Cox pre-
dicts. The disease could easily
spread to other vulnerable areas.
One focus is in Travis, Bastrop,
Fayette, and Hays Counties in
Central Texas. The other is in
Panola, Shelby, and San Augustine
Counties in East Texas. Indivi-
dual instances of mad foxes have
been occurring in both these sec-
Xiopg.Ihrouglieut the. year. .
Blanco, Comal, Guadalupe, and
Gonzales Counties are directly in
the path of the southwestern
spread of the Central Texas focus.
In East Texas, the trend is east
and southeast, threatening Sabine,
Jasper, and Newton Counties, Dr.
Cox reports.
“The first case of fox rabies in
any county is indication that work
needs to be started immediately
on control,” Dr. Cox said. “You
know you’re in for trouble.”
Fox rabies is six times more
prevalent in winter months than
in summer, Cox indicated. He
added that every fox killed now
will save trouble later.
He made the prediction of in-
creased rabies incidence despite
the fact that rabies-suspect ani-
mals heads autopsied at the health
department Bureau of Labora-
tories in September were fewer
than at any time since May.
Dr. Cox said wildlife rabies in
most affected areas kills off wild-
life to a point .where rabies cannot
maintain itself. It thus dies out
and does not re-appear until the
population builds itself up again.
Skunk rabies is prevalent in
three separate areas of the state,
the health officer said.But the dis-
ease is “20 times” more serious in
fox than in skunk, he said.
Celina gins reported Wednesday
afternoon that they had ginned a
total of 2664 bales from the 1952
crop, and indications are that
practically all of the cotton is out
of the fields. One gin reported
only four bales ginned Wednesday,
and that practically no full-bale
lots were being brought in.
On November 1, last year, 2310
bales had been ginned by the two
gins. At that time, rain had stop-
ped picking for three or four days.
Cotton Wednesday was selling
for 32 cents, and seed at $70.00 a
ton. Last year at the same time
the price was 36 cents and seed
was $75.00.
