'TEXAS SHORTHORN LASSIE QUEEN" WITH PRIZE SHORTHORN
Gov. Daniel Crowns Miss Eleanor Miles
As "Texas Lassie Queen" At Dallas Fair
Miss Eleanor Miles, Clifton High
School graduate and junior student
at Texas Christian University in
Fort Worth, was crowned “Texas
Shorthorn lassie Queen” by Gov-
ernor Price Daniel at the opening
of the Pan-American Livestock Ex-
position at the State Fair of Texas
in Dallas last Saturday.
Miss Miles is a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Charley Miles, of Mo-
sheim, and a granddaughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Arthur Miles, also of Mo.
sheim, and Mr. and Mrs. Earl M.
Dawson, of Route 1, Clifton.
The Lassies are members of the
Ladies’ Auxiliary of the National
Shorthorn Association, and Miss
Miles was chosen in August of this
year by the Texas women’s auxili-
ary to represent this state at the
National Shorthorn Association
Convention to be held in Chicago,
Illinois, in November during the
International Livestock Exposition.
During that convention a "Na-
tional Shorthorn Lassie Queen” will
be selected. Contestants in Chicago
will be interviewed by television
commentators and movie produc-
ers, and final judgment will be on
poise, beauty, speaking ability,
achievement, and talent. The na-
tional winner will represent the
United States in the “International
Shorthorn Lassie Queen Contest".
Winner of that final contest will
receive an all-expense-paid trip to
any place on the North American
continent.
The Lassies were organized five
years ago to give the wives and
daughters of the men in the na-
tional association an opportunity
to participate in the organization.
To be a Texas Lassie a girl must
have some connection with Short-
horn cattle. Miss Miles’ father was
president of the Lone Star Short-
horn Association last year, and she
and her younger sister, Charlotte,
raise Shorthorns of their own and
have exhibited them at fairs
throughout Texas for a number of
years.
As Shorthorn cattle originated in
Scotland, official dress of the Las-
sies is the Scottish plaid costume
which Miss Miles is wearing in the
above picture. These costumes are
sent from Great Britain by one of
the royal families and must have
the approval of Queen Elizabeth.
Each state has only one such cos-
tume, which is passed from queen
to queen.
It was a busy day last Saturday
for Miss Miles, as she also rode in
the State Fair of Texas Parade in
her capacity as “Texas Shorthorn
Lassie Queen" and took part in the
style show in the fair Women’s
Building at 4:00 o'clock that af-
ternoon. On October 6 she appear-
ed over WBAP-TV, Channel 5, in
Fort Worth.
Wednesday of this week Miss
Miles presented the ribbons for
the Shorthorn Breeders Show at
the State Fair of Texas and attend-
ed a party given at the Circle T
Ranch by Dallas ex-mayor R. L.
Thornton honoring Pan-American
guests of the State Fair. She also
attended the annual Lassie Banquet
the previous day, October 10, held
at the Oaks Manor Motel in Dallas.
In Dallas last Saturday to see
their daughter, sister, and grand-
daughter crowned “Texas Short-
horn Lassie Queen” by Governor
Daniel were Mr. and Mrs. Miles
and daughter, Charlotte, and Mr.
and Mrs. Dawson.

ed Monday of this week that his

He has won many honors with his

Neils Creek Does
Extensive Damage
Rains of from six to eight inches
throughout the Norse and Cran-
fills Gap areas put Neils Creek on
a record rise early Tuesday morn-
ing.
Much damage was reported. Old-
timers report that the creek was
the highest in their memories. The
only rise that might have been as
high in the last 60 years was the
big rise of 1908.
Fences that did not go out en
tirely were a tangled mess all along
Neils Creek. Farms suffered severe
damage from washing, and a num
ber of farmers lost cattle, sheep,
and goats in the flood.
Suffering considerable loss of
material, estimated at around
$5,000 worth, was the contractor
who is building the bridge across
Neils Creek on the new Lanes
Chapel farm-to-market road.
Telephone lines were washed out
in several places.
One of the main supporting
columns under the relatively new
Hogg Creek bridge between Valley
Mills and Mosheim was knocked
out, and the bridge had to be
closed to traffic until repairs could
be made. A span of a county bridge
west of the Old Rock Church on
the old Clifton-Cranfills Gap road
also was washed out.
In Clifton the rain amounted to
3.30 inches. As much or more fell
along most of the west side of the
Bosque River watershed around
Meridian, Iredell, and Hlco, which
put the Bosque up more than 20
feet. It was beginning to leave its
banks when at the highest point.
This rise on the Bosque and the
flood sent into the Bosque south of
Clifton by Neils Creek and Hog
Creek put the river out of banks
around Valley Mills and in Mc-
Lennan County. Traffic was halted
between Clifton and Valley Mills
for an hour or so when water was
above Highway 6 at the Neils Creek
bridge.

Clifton Takes Lorena 34-6 There Last
Friday Despite Flashy Raising Attack
ATTEND GAME AT ARLINGTON
Mrs. Martha Ludtke and children,
Jerry and Ann, and Mrs. Ludtke’s
mother, Mrs. T. D. Oxford, of this
city, and Charlie Foust, of Turners-
vilie, went to Arlington Thursday
night of last week to see the Uni-
versity of Houston freshman foot-
ball team defeat the Arlington
State College B team 34-8. Mrs
Ludtke’s son, Wally Ludtke, a fresh-
man at the University of Houston,
was on the starting line-up as a
blocking back. Wally returned
home with his family after the
game and remained here until Sun-
day.
Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Wallace
viaited this past week-end in Arling-
ton with Mr. and Mrs. Waiter John-
son, then drove over to Dallas to
visit with Mrs. J. M. Wallace, who
is a patient in East Grand Clinic
following recent surgery.
Clifton downed Lorena 34 to 6
on the Leopards’ home field Fri-
day of last week, but the score
failed to indicate the excitement
generated by Lorena with its pass-
ing from its wide spread formation.
The Cubs stayed on the ground
most of the game and rolled up
265 yards rushing and 17 first
downs. Lorena passed 23 times,
completed 12 passes, although at
times for minus yardage.
The first time that the Cubs
gained possession of the ball in
each of the four quarters they
marched to a touchdown. David
(Smoky) Kettler had one of his
best nights, scoring the first three
Clifton touchdowns, the first com-
ing in the first minutes of play, a
48-yard scamper off tackle for pay
dirt.
Clifton scored again early in the
first quarter, when Clarence Muel-
ler intercepted a Lorena pass in
midfield and returned to the Letrp*--
ards’ 45. Larry Pullin and Pat
Stewart chalked up two first downs
to the Lorena 23; then Kettler ran
for 8 yards, Pullin added three, and
Kettler broke loose for 9 and a
second touchdown. Mueller ran for
the extra two points.
Lorena came right back to close
in on the Cubs with a beautiful 70-
yard touchdown play—a reverse in
the backfield, then a long pass from
Charles Dawson to Tommy Reese.
Lorena, although completing many
more short passes, failed to make
any serious touchdown threat after
this fine pass and run.
Clifton’s line got a fine work-
out, as it was spread well across
the width of the field each time
Lorena was on the offense, had to
rush the passer, cover possible
pass receivers, and stop ground
nlays. The linemen did an excellent
job of adjusting to the spread,
which gave Lorena more of a six-
man style of play than the usual
type offense.
The Cubs’ third touchdown drjve
started late in the first quarter on
their own 45 and continued into
the first minutes of the second
quarter, when the Cubs racked up
five successive first downs. Pullin
and Stewart punched out most of
the yardage on this march, with
Kettler adding the final four yards
for the touchdown.
In the second half Lorena came
back strong for three straight first
downs on a drive that carried to the
Cub 25. where it fizzled. Upon
getting the ball, Pullin picked up
three, then Stewart added seven,
Kettler on three tries added 40
yards, and then Stewart swung out
around his left end for 19 yards
and a Cub touchdown. Larson
kicked extra point.
Again late in the third quarter
the Cubs took possession of the
ball and. with most of the Cub
backs making good use of the holes
the Clifton line was punching in
the Lorena defense, held on to the
ball as the fourth quarter started
and marched a total of 64 yards
for a touchdown, with Pullin going
over from the five.
The Cubs bad one additional op-
portunity to advance the ball for
another score when Stewart inter-
cepted a leopard pass and ran it
back to the Lorena 40. But two
15-yard penalties put a stop to this
final Cub opportunity.
Alvin Spitzer did a nice job in
handling the ball as quarterbgdj.
He replaced Glenn Murphree, who
is out for the season with a broken
arm. Freshman Jerry Allen also
saw action at quarterback.
Clifton’s line did a fine job ad-
justing to Lorena's spread and,
with its consistent blocking, made
it possible for the Cub backs to

Clifton coaches are warning the
Cubs and fans not to under-rate
Hubbard, for in its first game of
the year Hubbard looked good in
defeating Whitney, a team that
later downed Meridian. It is to be
remembered, too, that Clifton
knocked out Hubbard’s champion-
ship hopes at Hubbard last year in
a hard-fought game, and Hubbard
would like nothing better than to
even the score this year.
Also, Hubbard has been riddled

Mr. Schofield's sister, Mrs. Fred Latham, of this city, and slightly in-
juring Mr. Schofield and Mrs. Latham’s three-year-old grandson, Rickey
Lee Thompson, of Waco.
Although the car above shows injury to the front left half of the
vehicle, the inside of the car was damaged only slightly. The fact that
the occupants were thrown from the car as a result of the collision
caused Mrs. Latham’s death.

Mrs. Fred Latham, aged 60 years,
9 months, and 23 days, of 810 North
Avenue I in Clifton, died as the
result of a car-truck accident on
North Highway 6 in Clifton at ap-
proximately 3:15 o’clock on Friday
afternoon of last week.
It is understood that Mrs. La-
tham, her brother, J. E. Schofield,
and her grandson, Rickey lee
Thompson, of Waco, were riding in
the 1952 Chevrolet owned by Mr.
Schofield when that car was in-
volved in a collision with an Alma
Steel and Machine truck from
Waco driven by Tony York, of
Hubbard.
Chief oFT’oTTc'e Tames McDoweTT
said the accident occurred while
the Schofield car was crossing High-
way 6, going west on Maple Street.
The bob-tailed truck, loaded with
oxygen tanks, was traveling south
on North Highway 8. He added
that the truck pulled off the high-
way to avoid the collision, side-
swiped the culvert on its right, and
then struck the right front of the
Schofield car, which had swerved
to its left to miss the truck.
Chief McDowell went on to say
that all three persons were thrown
from the Chevrolet when it spun
across the highway. The car then
seemed to be headed directly to-
ward the United Pentecostal Church
Pallbearers were Clay Cheatham,
of Hurst Springs, John Outlaw, Earl
McKinney, Gerald Sormrude, Lu-
ther Dyess, and Joe Crosley.
Interment followed in the Clifton

ial Museum in Clifton.
Certainly, the Bosque Memorial
Museum and Clifton are being
honored in having been chosen to
introduce this new book, which is
the story of pioneer life in Texas

relatives in Norway by Elise Tvede
Warenskjold. Mrs. Warenskjoid’s
accounts of Texas living contribut-
ed largely to a great many persons
coming to Texas from Norway.
“Lady With A Pen” has resulted
from research made by Dr. Theo-
dore C. Blegen, dean emeritus of
the University of Minnesota grad-
uate school, Dr. Kenneth O. Bjork,
his successor, and Dr. C. A. Clau-
sen.
Honored guests at the coffee la
Clifton Sunday afternoon will be
Dr. Blegen, Lionel G. Thorsness,
Chicago, Illinois, attorney, who is
president of the Norwegian-Ameri-
can Historical Association, and Tex-
as descendants of Mrs. Waren-
skjold. A great-granddaughter, Mrs.
Henry Gould, of Fort Worth, was
extremely helpful, according to Dr.
Blegen, in making “Lady With A
Pen” possible.
On display at the Bosque Mem-
orial Museum during the coffee will
be personal possessions of Mrs.
Warenskjold, family heirlooms,
letters, and tintypes loaned by her
descendants, and the museum items
will be arranged to show the man-
ner of living and conveniences of
Mrs. Warenskjoid’s day, as well as
some of the elegant treasures of
that period.
Elise Amalie Tvede Waren-
skjold and her husband settled at
Four Mile Prairie, Texas, In 1847.
She wrote her important letters to
Norway while residing in Four
Mile Prairie and frequently visiting
in Clifton.
Through the book, “Lady With
A Pen”, Elise Warenskjold will be
known as an important influence
in American history. Also through
research done for the book Elise
