NORTH POLE (Special)—Word
was received in The Record of-
fice that Santa Claus will make
his first pre-Christmas trip to
Clifton to visit and take requests
from boys and girls in this area
on the first Saturday in Decem-
ber 'the 4th1 at 2 pin.
He'll be seen in downtown Ciif
ton and will talk to all the kid-
dos, but his mode of transporta-
tion and some other details have
not yet been completed. Last
| year he arrived by helicopter,
and he has used other convey-
i ances in years past.
Since there is hardly ever
■ snow by early December in Ciif- j
I ton, and since traveling in a
I sleigh when there is no snow
j is kind of hard on the reindeer,
1 Santa normally borrows other
vehicles to make his pre-Christ-
mas rounds in Texas, saving
Donner and Biitzen and team-
mates for the all-important trip
on December 24.

merce, s Business Development
Committee is assisting ole Saint
Nick and they will probably help

Cubs - Bulldogs t o do Final Dist.
Grid Battle at McGregor Friday
City OK s New Sewer Plant;
To Try Paper Garbage Bags
Clifton’s Grid Varsity Cubs will
travel to McGregor Friday night
to renew rivalry with the Bull-
dogs, and expect to meet vigorous
resistance.
Prospects for a good game were
never better. McGregor has not
had the best of seasons, with a
3-6 season record and a 1-3 dis-
trict record. The Bulldogs would
also like nothing better than re:
venge for last year’s upset In (ho
district race. *
The Cubs should be ready, be-
cause since they already have a
berth in the state playoffs cinch-
ed, it would be embarassing to
lose to McGregor tomorrow night.
The Cubs will play the winner
of the Llano - Burnet game|
(which will decide the 9-A A title)
on Nov. 19. Game details will be
told next week.
Clifton's team members are in
good health this week, having

• UPON A THOUGHT •
• By SAM LOGAN %
/^V/VSAA/VWVVVVSA^VVVVVV
First of all, this column
and this newspaper would like
to be among the first to congratu-
late the Clifton Cubs Varsity
football team for its successful
1971 District 10-AA season.
Most fans know by now that
even if the Cubs lose their final
district game to McGregor to-
morrow night, they still would
have a co - championship and
would represent this district in
the first (bi-district > game of the
Texas State Playoffs on Nov. 19.
These Cubs began the season
with something less than cheer-
ing prospects — losing one of
the first two games and tieing
the other — but they never quit.
They corrected their mistakes
and worked harder on both their
hitting ability and their grid
savy, and have come on strong,
winning handily their next seven
games.
This district championship is
even more meaningful when it is
realized that this is (he smallest
squad in district, from by far
the smallest school in the dis-
trict.
Price Freeze
Rules Continue
After Nov. 13
The rules for the price freeze
will continue after November 13
until new rules are provided by
the Pay Board and the Price
Commission, according lo R. L.
Phinncy, District Director of In-
ternal Revenue.
Phinncy said there is wide-
spread erroneous belief the
freeze will be off at the end of
the ninety-day period.
Phinncy said further that as
stated in the President's Execu-
tive Order of October 15, the
provisions of the Economic Stab-
ilization Program which have
been in force since August 15
will continue until they are spec-
ifically modified, in each area
and category, by the Pay Board,
Price Commission or the Cost of
Living Council.
Indeed, Clifton may well be
the smallest of all the 202 schools
in Class Double A football in
Texas. Recently the UIL dis-
tricts for the next two years
were announced and it was re-
vealed that Clifton remained in
Double A by less than half a
student more than the minimum
enrollment for this class. We
dare say there are few schools
smalled in Class AA. Therefore,
Clifton "by rights" shouldn't
have been able to win District
either last year, or this year,
as larger schools have the odds
on their side by having more
good athletes.
Clifton grid players, however,
have a long tradition of playing
their hearts out, and it took the
state champs to beat them (Iowa
Park in regional' last year.
How'll they do this year?
Our District 9-AA opponents
in the Bi-District game will be
cit her Llano or Burnet, which
ever one wins their
morrow night.
The Record will print infor-
mation about Bi-District next
week, as arrangements could not
Ire made before the winner of
9-AA is determined.
Cubs and fans alike, however,
had better nol think much about
(See DROP OF INK- Page 6A)
ly season healed by now.
Tacke Melvin Bergman was out
of practice with the flu this
week, but may see action Friday
night.
Clifton’s win over West last
week, their fourth successive win
in a strong district, moved them
up to 11th place according to the
Harris Survey this week. The
Cubs were nol included in the
top 15 in The Dallas News' rank-
ings, however.
The Harris Survey picks East-
land vs. Coleman, ranked No. 1
and No. 6 respectively, as the
game of the week this week.
These teams will vie for the 8-AA
title, and whoever wins is likely
to go far in the playoffs.
McGregor teamsters to watch
(or wa(ch out' for are FB Char-
ie Johnson and guard-LB Jay An-
derson, leading names among 5
defensive and 5 offensive holders
from last year’s District - Co-
Champ team. End Jimmy Kcrbo
(6-2, 190), guard Jed Hamilton,
center Terry Arp, tackle Richard
Martin '6-4, 215), and TB’s Gerry
Jenkins and Eugene Kelley are
also fine players.

them more economical, more
sanitary and 25 percent faster
than using the old cans in resi-

The paper bags are thick craft
paper and will stand a rain with-
out tearing. Also they will stand
alone and do not need to be
placed in cans. They will resist
clogs and generally are consider-
ed superior to the plastic bags
used in some other cities.
The Council discussed the fact
that the present city garbage
truck is now 13 years old, and
though it is still in good me-
chanical shape, it is too small
for present needs.

Highway Dept, to
Pave FM Roads to
School; Airport
The Texas Highway Commis-
sion today aproved development
: of 1.4 miles of Farm to Market
Roads in Bosque County as part
oi the 1971 Texas Farm to Mar-
ket Road Program. The work
will be under the supervision of
T, H. ' Fridayi Ralph, Senior
Resident Engineer, at Clifton.
The work for Bosque County
will include:
Provide Relocation Assistance
and Construct Grading, Structur-
| es and Surfacing from SH 6 North
of Cifton Southwest to the High
School, a distance of approxi-
mately 0.5 mile.
Provide Relocation Assistance
and Construct Grading, Structur-
es and Surfacing from FM 1991
North of Clifton Northeast to the
Municipal Airport, a distance of
approximately 0,9 mile.
The work authorized for this
: county is part of 304.3 miles of
new construction and additional
j financing for 177.1 miles of FM
and RM Roads previously de-
signated and constructed in stag-
es. Estimated cost of the pro-
gram Statew ide is $20.9 million.
Texas has some 40 thousand
miles of paved secondary roads
under State maintenance in the
Farm to Market system.
Of the new construction in the
program, 290.8 miles arc new
roads being added to the system.
Of this total 192.8 miles or 66
per cent are school bus routes
and 178.6 miles or 61 per cent
are rural mail delivery routes.
Originally intended to get Tex-
j as farmers and ranchers out of
the mud and to provide for move-
ment of agricultural produce to
markets, the FM system also
now affords city dweller and
rural resident alike access to
hundreds of new lakes and other
recreational areas in the State.
In addition, the FM system
supports the movement of goods
and workers to the many new
industries now operating in smal-
cr cities and towns in Texas.
