Danny Wayne Patterson of
215 N. Ave. T in Clifton
killed his first deer Saturday
morning about 9:30 a.m.
with bow and arrow. The kill
was made on the Radde
Ranch where he has a bow
lease.
—It was a 4-point deer,
which he estimated to weigh
about 90 pounds.
Patterson said he has been
bow hunting for five years
and that this is the first time
he has ever gotten close
enough to make a kill. He
said the shot was made from
35 yards away.
This is the first deer killed
by a bow and arrow in
Bosque County this year,
that has been reported to The
Record. This newspaper
would like to report deer
kills, by both bow, and by
rifle, when the gun season
opens, if hunters will let us
know.
**********
The Record received word
Monday by phone from Con-
gressman Bob Poage and
later the same day by
. telegram from Senator John
Tower that the Housing and
Urban Development Dept.
(HUD) has granted final
approval of contract of
$533,880 to the Clifton Hous-
ing Authority of the City of
Clifton, to build 32 duplex
and triplex low rent units, 16
of which are designated for
the elderly.
Three sites in Clifton have
been purchased for the unit
locations.
This action culminates
nearly three years of prelimi-
nary work towards the HUD
financed units.
The approval of the grant
means that the local author-
ity now has to ask Washing-
ton to send part of the money
that will be used in prelimi-
nary work and beginning of
construction. After this
money is received the local
authority may then advertise
for construction bids, and
there is a possibilitv that
actual construction may be-
gin before the end of the
year.

Clifton fans at the football
game in Hubbard received a
real scare Friday of last week
when a small size stand fell
with a number of Clifton
fans. The wooden stand just
flattened out, and the specta-
tors on it just plopped down
on top of the boards. The
stands were not high, but it
is still a mystery how all
escaped without injury—
without getting a leg, arm, or
hand caught under the
boards. The accident hap-
pened before the gahie start-
ed.
**********
Heaters were burning for
the first time this fall in
homes throughout Central
Texas Wednesday night, and
they felt real good. Temper-
ature readings of from 40 to
42 decrees were reported in
Clifton early Thursday morn-
ing. The change was wel-
comed by most folks, who
had become weary of the hot,
humid weather of the past

Here’s how
Chiropractic treats
Arthritis
Arthritis is an acute or chronic
inflammation of one or more of the joints
of the body. The inflammation may involve
some or all of the structures entering in the
formation of the joint—the bones, the
cartilage, the membranes, muscles, etc.
Chiropractic approaches arthritis from a
cause standpoint. It is directed to the
restoration of normal nerve function; allowing the
natural healing processes of the body to operate, by
means of spinal adjustments.
Your doctor of chiropractic has the training and
experience to treat arthritis and relieve the discomforts of
the condition. Under chiropractic care, many conditions
can be relieved.

Rainfall this past week
totaled 4.10 inches in Clifton.
The heavy rain came Thurs-
day night of last week when
2.5 inches fell, much of it the
first hour of the rain. The
recently sown grain was
rather badly washed, but
generally the moisture was
welcomed by the farmers and
ranchers

E.B. Harris is deserving of
credit for getting the street
watering started in Clifton
during the recent dust epi-
sode. — r
Mr. Harris obtained the
use of the road contractor’s
water wagon and spent all
Sunday giving the house-
wives relief from the dusty
streets.
During the rest of the
week, until the rain began
Wednesday night, the city
has continued the sprinkling
through the courteous use of
Contractor Fannin’s water
wagon.

The Callan Construction
Co. of Waco was low bidder
on the Cayote to Whitney
Dam farm-to-market road at
the opening of bids Wednes-
day morning by the Texas
State Highway Commission.
The bid was $80,793.
The Callan Construction
Company is headed by Boyd
Callan, who at one time was
located in Clifton with the
Highway Department.
The department office
here has not received word
as to when the work will
start; much preliminary
checking and other matters
will be required before actual
construction begins.
ft*********
Tuesday afternoon mem-
bers of the Clifton Lions Club
Road Committee and the
Commissioners Court drove
out to the Middle Bosque
River between Mosheim and
Coryell City to look over a
crossing project started by
Commissioner Evans Ficklin.
A bridge across the Bosque
at this point would permit
access from a fine agriculture
section to Bosque County.
The citizens of Mosheim and
Valley Mills have desired a
bridge at this point for a
number of years.
Attention to the project
had been aroused in Clifton
when it was learned that
Clifton folks had received
credit for having work on the
bridge stopped at an earlier
period and by reports that
the project was the cause of
Precinct 4 being about
$25,000 in the red. As far as
it is known at this office,
neither report is true.
It was learned that the
majority of the members of
the Commissioners Court
had not visited the project;
members of the Clifton Lions
Road Committee asked that
the court make a trip to the
project with them and all
learn first-hand something
about the crossing.
The group found the pro-
posed project to be a big one.
Considerable work has been
accomplished. A right-of-
way has been fenced, much
dynamiting of a steep bluff
has taken place, and two
concrete bridge supports
have been erected.
Commissioner Ficklin stat-
ed that to date about $8,000
had been spent on the
project, about $1,000 for
dynamiting, $500 for cement,
$2,500 for bulldozing, and
$4,000 for labor.

Donald G. Rauschuber,
water resources division dir-
ector of Henningson, Dur-
ham, & Richardson, Inc. of
Austin talked to the Clifton
Lions Club about water Tues-
day of last week.
Mr. Rauschuber stated
that Clifton is using water
about twice as fast as it is
being replaced. Clifton is
able to obtain all the under-
ground water it needs today,
but such will not be the case
in 10 to 20 years.
County residents can recall
any number of wells that
flowed freely of their own
accord throughout the coun-
ty, that now have seen their
water level drop about 500
feet.
Many towns and cities are
turning to surface water from
lakes and reserviors; but this
can be most expensive.
Mr. Rauschuber noted that
GERMAN COFFEE CAKE
By Mrs. Phil W. Staley
2 sticks oleo (melted)
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
Cream together thorough-
ly, add 2 cups flour, 1
teaspoon cinnamon, take out
Vi cup of above mixture and
add Vi to 1 cup nuts and save
for topping. Add 2 eggs, 1
teaspoon soda mixed in 1 cup
buttermilk. Place in oblong
pan, sprinkle topping over it.
Cook at 350 degrees for
approximately 35 minutes.
Bosque County was working
on the problem. Clifton and
Bosque County, the resourc-
es director believes, should
create a water district and
take every step possible
toward providing the area
water.
Mr. Rauschuber could see
possible capture and putting
back into underground stor-
age reserviors water from the
Bosque River and Neils
Creek.
Guest at the Tuesday
meeting was David Corpier.
Lion president Philip
Watts announced that the
club is planning on having its
annual pancake supper Nov-
ember 18.
