From Garden Club
Mrs. M. K. Bradstreet Sr.,
president of the Clifton Garden
Club, spoke before the Clifton
Lions Club at the latter club’s
regular luncheon meeting Tues-
day of this week in the City Hall j
dining room.
Mrs. Bradstreet, whose many
community activities were
pointed out by Hans Kalscheuer
in his introduction, told of
numerous projects in which the
Clifton Garden Club is engaged
and particularly dwelled upon
its five-year improvement pro-
ject which now is in progress
at Clifton Memorial Park.
This year the club is erect-
ing an attractive wrought iron
entrance at the cemetery, and
next year a stone fence will
be built along the cemetery
front. According to Mrs. Brad-
street, other improvements will
be made each of the following
three years. The Clifton Garden
Club is being assisted by other
groups in Clifton and by the
Sears Foundation in financing
the cemetery project.
Lion President T. F. Craw-
ford presented D. C. Holver-
son with a 26-year perfect at-
tendance pin; it attests to his
26 consecutive years of perfect
attendance at Clifton Lions Club
meetings. Robert Baldridge Jr.
also received a perfect atten-
dance pin for the past year.
He was unable to be present
to receive that award at the
recent “Ladies’ Night”.
Two new members of the
Clifton Lions Club — Edwin
Olsen and Leo Jensgp — were
presented at the meeting. Mr.

membership from the Kings-
ville Lions Club.

pared and served by members

in Clifton, reported the occur-
rence this week of a two-car
accident near Cranfills Gap
around 9:10 o'clock on Monday
morning.
The accident occurred on the
county road west of Cranfills
Gap at the Meridian Creek
crossing.
Patrolman Wright said Larry
Don Railsback. of Lubbock,
who owns a place in that area,
was traveling west in his 1960
Chevrolet and Clarence T. Terg-
erson, of Route 2, Meridian, was
going south in a 1957 Ford when
tiie vehicles met on a curve and
collided.
Mr. Railsback and Mr. Ter-
gerson. the only persons in their
respective cars, received only
minor injuries, but Patrolman

cars suffered major damage.
Accident Near Kopperl
Tuesday Patrolman Wright
told the Record that he also
investigated a one-car accident
around 8:15 o’clock that morn-
ing near Kopperl.
In that accident Deborah Kay
Cooper, 15, a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Kenneth Cooper, of
Lakeside Village, was driving a
1955 Chevrolet. As she was
traveling on Farm-To-Market
Road 56 from Lakeside Village
toward Kopperl, the car ran off
the road, hit loose gravel, and
she lost control of* the vehicle,
which then overturned.
Also in the car with Deborah
Kay was her brother, James
Lincoln Cooper, 12. The chil-
dren’s father is principal of the
Kopperl Public Schools.
Abner Greer, of Lakeside
Village, took Deborah Kay to
the Clifton hospital following
the accident, where stitches
were taken to close a cut in
her knee and she was treated
for other minor injuries. James
Lincoln was uninjured. The
Cooper car was a total wreck.
Mrs. Harvey Dies
Suddenly July 7
It was with sincere regret
that her many friends learned
last week of the sudden death
as the result of a heart attack
of Mrs. Marvin Harvey. 77, a
pioneer resident of Bosque
County, at 5:00 o’clock on
Thursday afternoon, July 7, in
the family home at the W’est
edge of Clifton.
Mrs. Harvey had enjoyed
good health until her eyesight
began to fail a few years ago,
and she also had suffered sev-
eral slight strokes of paralysis.
On May 31 Mrs. Harvey under-
went surgery at the Doctors
Hospital in Corpus Christi for
the removal of the cataracts
which had blinded her.
It is understood that the eye
operations were wonderfully
successful, and she was able to
return to her Clifton home on
July 1, where every succeeding
day brought new surprises and
joy to her as she was able to
behold the faces of her chil-
dren and grandchildren and the
familiar belongings in her
home.
Mrs. Harvey remarked on the
day of her death that she felt
wonderful. It was only a short
time later that her husband

and C. L. Conrad (6-1, 180).

Dickerson. Behind that line,
Larry Grimland dials the right

Forson spearhead the attack.
Rocky Rummel is a defensive
back of savvy and size.
“A new name for 13-A but
an old foe for Clifton, VALLEY

est challenge. The Eagles, 10-

to fly high behind the thrust

League Committee
Clifton Mayor Charles M. Isen-
hower has been named as a
member of the Texas Municipal
League’s Committee on General
Municipal Affairs, which will
have its first meeting in Waco
on Friday, July 22.
The Texas Municipal League

the several committees involved
are expected to require about
four months to complete.
Work has been divided among
four legislative committees, of
which the Committee on General
Municipal Affairs is one. Each
committee will develop recom-
mendations to be given to the
Texas Municipal League board of
directors at the annual confer-
ence to take place in Fort Worth
in November.
The three other committees
are Committee on Administra-
tion and Personnel, Committee
on Revenue and Taxation, and
Committee on Code of Criminal
