Valley Mills Spoils
Juniors' Record
Monday night the Valley Mills
Junior baseball team spoiled the
perfect 1952 record of the Clifton
Juniors. Joe Hendricks came in to
relieve Wells of Valley Mills in
the first inning with the bases full
and one out to strike out P. D. Wal-
lace and Sterling Smith and pull
out of his first serious hole.
In the third inning he again pul-
led out of a tight spot after the
Clifton youngsters had filled the
bases with no one out. In this in-
ning Clifton did tie the score at
two all, only to have Valley Mills
come back and push ahead by two
runs in its half of the same inning.
The Clifton boys’ team play weak-
ened in the late innings, and Valley
Mills went on to win 13 to 5. P. D.
Wallace pitched for the local boys.
On Friday night of last week
Clifton had won its second league
game by defeating McGregor, who
had previously defeated Valley
Mills. Clifton and Valley Mills,
therefore, are in a tie for first
place. TMbse'fwo teams meet again

Electric Service
Interrupted Twice
Clifton’s normally fine electric
service was interrupted twice this
past week for much longer than
the usual stoppage.
The first break in the service
came Thursday afternoon, June 5,
when the electricity went off for
about 50 minutes. The trouble oc-
curred when lightning struck one
bf the electric company’s poles be-
tween Clifton and Gatesville. Nor-
mally the accident would have
thrown a switch in Clifton where
it could easily be thrown back on;
but this time it jumped the Clifton
switch and threw the switch at
Walnut Springs. Someone from the
Clifton crew was sent to Walnut
Springs to throw the switch back
on. ,
The line crew members set out
on foot from Clifton, walking the
line toward Gatesville, to find the
trouble; they had to walk almost
to Gatesville before they located
the burned-out pole.
The second stoppage came Sat-
urday night just before most of
the Clifton stores closed; the lights
were off for a little over an hour.
When Calvin Dunlop, local mana-
ger of the Community Public Serv-
ice Company, noticed the lights
growing dim, he rushed down to
the substation here and found one
of the huge transformers shooting
a blaze of fire into the sky.
He immediately pulled the swit-
ches cutting Clifton, Whitney, Val-
ley Mills and Gatesville off the
66,000 volt line.
Normally some electricity is
available in Clifton by starting the
old power plant which is kept
ready here for such an emergency.
But Saturday night a gasket blew
out when the engines were started,
and the reserve unit was of little
assistance.
The CPS Co. line crew went to
work and removed the burned-out
transformer and replaced it with a
spare. Lights in the business sec-
tion began coming back on some
30 or 40 minutes after the stop-
page, but it was over an hour be-
fore the entire town again had
lights. Z*#'
The local electric company has
given such fine service over the
past several years that trouble
twice in one week becomes unusual
news.
