culture teachers from the county’s
nine schools, who were present as
guests for the meeting, were Ralph
Bradley and Mrs. Bradley, of Ire-
dell; Jim Carter, of Morgan; Ken-
neth Cooper, of Kopperl; Harold
Gilbert, of Cranfills Gap; W. H.
Heartsiil and Mrs. Heartaill, of Wal-
nut Springs; John E. Lockhart, of
Ciifton; R. L. McElhaney and Mrs.
McElhaney, of Mosheim; George
Mingus, of Valley Mills; and Lester
Smith, of Meridian.
Guest speaker Marshall gave the
group some interesting figures on
history sod statistics in Bosque
County, where there are 11.3 per-
sona per acre; 337 acres per farm
as compared to the national average
of 280 acres per farm or the Texas
average of 400 acres per farm; and
459 owned farms and 442 tenant-
operated farms, according to the
last census.
Mr. Marshall pointed out that
Texas has 941 vocational agricul-
ture teachers in its 1,080 accredit-
ed high schools. Of course, there
are more schools, but they are not
all accredited. There also are 182
Negro vocational agriculture teach
ers included in that number who
are doing a good job in their field.
“We in the United States are leas
than five per cent of the world
population, and yet we are the only
ones not hungry,” Mr. Marshall
said. “Only 12 per cent of the
United States population is on the
farm producing fund.”____
According to Mr. Mankalfejte
cational agriculture teachers work
mainly with the in-school group of
people, teaching and instilling an
appreciation of nature to youth.
Out of 100 boys starting school,
42% drop out by the eighth grade
and 87% by the time they get to
the 12th grade, e fact about which
we all should be concerned. In
adult education the vocational agri-
culture teachers work closely with
farm organisations and try to do a
good job to help provide the 88,000
new farmers each year needed to
keep agriculture existing.
In conclusion Mr. Marshall said,
“The sad fact b that only about
one-half that number actually are
going to farming due to several
economic factors involved. Since
only 12 per cant of the U. 8. popu-
lation is on-farm actively engaged,
it must speak up to be heard and
must sell the city people on the im-
portance of agriculture.’’

The family and friends of Henry
Bridger, aged 40, were shocked and
saddened to learn of his death at
the Goodall and Witcher Hospital
in Clifton early Tuesday morning,
April 28, 1959
Although Mr. Bridger had been
bothered somewhat with headaches
the past several weeks, the family
had not the slightest idea that his
life was endangered. After he re-
ported for work on his job with the
City of Clifton Friday, he became
ill; and the doctor advised him to
go home and go to bed.
When Mrs. Bridger came home
from her work at Charlie’s Cafe in
the middle of the afternoon, she
found him in a coma; Mr. Bridger
was rushed to the hospital where
he continued to be in a critical con-
dition until his death a few days
later. It is possible that Mr. Brid-
ger was suffering from a brain tu-
mor, although this fact was not def-
initely established.
Services lor Mr. Bridger were
held Wednesday, April 29. at 2:00
P. M. at the Clifton Funeral Home

day Jr. in charge. Internment was in

From reports of the mile relay
race at other regional meets, it ap-
pears that the first five teams st
Brenham had bettor times than the
winning team at the other meets.
It is possible that the five best
Class A mile relay teams in tbe
state were competing against each
other at the Branham meet.
As a team the Cubs scored seven
points at Brenham. Thorndale, with
a strong field team, won team
hpnurs at the meet with 14 points.
Coach Aubrey Roberta is justly
proud of the fine record made by
his track team this year. The four
boys running on the mile relay
team, Wslly Ludtke, Fred Grimes,
Ernest Erickson, and Raiiin Aars,
(two juniors and two sophomores)
wilt all be eligible to run sgain
next year. Judging from the im
provement of these four trackmen
thiz year, Clifton could have one
of iti strongest track teams In the
school’s history in 1960.
