those with aged and worn tires on
t their cars are beginning to realize
just what scarcity of good tires means
to them. More cars are now seen
stopped on the side of the highway
because of tire trouble than has ever
been known, it is said, and such condi-
tions are growing worse daily. The
person with tires good enough to drive
about the premises and the city limits
of bis town, no doubt feels proud of
them and justly so. Mo$t people are
finally learning the best method of
handling their tire proposition is to
remain at home and save the differ-
ence for war bonds.

F. M. Huffman, living out on the old
McFaddcn farm home southwest of
town a few miles, early this week
paid to have his name added to the
Record’s growing list of regular
readers for twelve months. Mr. Huff-
man and family have only been living
where they are since early in January;
moving there from east Texas. He
says they like their new home and
the people of the community fine and
seems happy over the move to this
vicinity. Mr. Huffman says he lived
in Bosque county when but a young
man when riding bucking horses and
tournaments were real attractions and
enjoyment for the old and young.
Less McCandless, who spent many
of his early years in Bosque County,
but for a number of years has made
his home in Lampasas with a daugh-
ter, was here over last week-end and
to take in the Old Settlers Reunion
at Pool Park Monday. During his
younger days Mr. McCandless was
known as Bosque County’s most popu-
lar salesman, having worked in that
capacity in Meridian and Clifton many
years and until his retirement. Pos-
sibly there is no other person who
makes regular annual visits to the
July 4th reunion that enjoys meeting
the people any more than he does, and
his many friends are always pleased to
see him.
