Girl Scouts Selling Cookies Quickly;
Organization to Mark Birthday Friday
McCulloch County Girl Scouts
have made quick work of selling
their quota of cookies in the an-
nual cookie sale this week.
The girls had started out with
1,536 boxes, and Wednesday Mrs.
H. E. Keim, county chairman for
the sale, had only 108 boxes left.
“The sale is going very well,”
she said. It continues through Sat-
urday, and some of the girls al-
ready have earned their ’54 Club
pin for selling 54 boxes of cookies.
The girls have been selling the
Mrs. Maurice Kidd made the
first move toward Girl Scouting
in Brady when she wrote to the
national headquarters for infor-
mation, and the first troop was
organized June 1, 1947.
Cecil Coggin was the first
board president, with Mrs. Hubert
Gilbreath as vice president and
Mrs. Carl Nance training chair-
man.
The Girl Scout Little House at
804 South Pine St., was dedicated
in May, 1947, and the final pay-
cookies to neighbors, friends and ment on it was made in February,
relatives, and some of the troops
have set up booths on the plaza in
Brady.
Proceeds will be used to build
a Girl Scout camp at Lake Brown-
wood.

The cookie salt coincides with
the Girl Scouts’ birthday, to be
observed Friday, March 12. In Mc-
Culloch County the movement
dates back to .January, 1947, when
the first board was organized.

Among others who have been
identified with Girl Scouting here

Tommy Kyzar has been elimin-
ated as a candidate for city secre-
tary because he signed two loyalty
oaths, instead of a loyalty oath
and an application to have his
name placed on the ballot.
The error was made as Kyzar
signed the papers last Saturday,
the last day to file, but the mis-
take was not discovered until
Wednesday.
* * *
At a special session of the
City Council Thursday morn-
ing, the council considered the
question but decided there is
no way Kyzar’s name can now
be placed on the ballot.
* * *
Kyzar could still., conduct a
write-in campaign, but he was not
inclined to do that.
Elimination of Kyzar leaves
Mrs. W. P. Jones unopposed for
re-election as city secretary in the
election April 6.
The minutes of Thursday
morning's council meeting read in
part:
“This meeting was called to
consider forms filed by Tommy S.
Kyzar, seeking election to the of-

was present and stated to the
council that on March 6, 1954, he
filed two loyalty oaths instead of
an official application and loyalty
oath as required by law.

“After due consideration being
given to the forms filed and after
considering the provisions of the

of the City of Brady, motion was
made by Alderman I’. L. IJlstad

eckhuhn's office in the base-
ment of the Brady Post Office

tion to the regular work days.
Because of publicity con-
cerning legislation pending
in Congress to change the
date for filing income tax
returns, many taxpayers seem
to believe the deadline lias
been extended, he said.

still the last day, and enve-
lopes containing returns must
be postmarked not later than
midnight on that day," he
added. They should he sent

Winters, Arthur Scharluch of
Rochelle, Raymond l’fluger of Ed-
en and Joe Ogden of Brady went
to Washington last week to ask
additional appropriations to speed
completion of the flood control
project. They asked also that the
funds be specifically earmarked
for Brady Creek.
The delegation appeared before
a seven-man subcommittee of tin1
House Appropriations Committee,
but there was no immediate an
swer or reply from the subcom-
mittee. Winters ami Ogden esti-1
mated it will be a month or six
weeks before it is known whether
the requests will be approved, and
even if approved, the Junds would
not become available until July I.
Speaking of the congressmen on
the committee (none from Texas),
Winters said, “Those men were
interested in what we had to say,
and I’m sure they were honest
and sincere. Their questions were
right to the point.”
He was impressed by the dignity
and formality of the hearing. The
congressmen sat al one side of a
long table with the Brady Creek
delegates facing them. In present-
ing the delegation's arguments,
Winters admitted tluiL the atmo-
sphere put him under considerable
pressure but he said he apprec-
iated the congressmen’s attention.
Both Sen. Lyndon Johnson and
Rep. O. C. Fisher appeared with
the delegates before the House
committee and spoke in support of
the Brady Creek project. The dele-
gates also carried a letter of
support from Gov. Allan Shivers.
♦ * *
Wednesday night Winters and
Ogden praised Johnson and Fisher
highly for the time, work and help
given the delegates while they
were In Washington.
“Those men are very busy, and
we certainty appreciate what they
did for us,” Winters said, adding
that it was frankly more than the
delegates had expected or hoped
lor.
The delegates made Fisher’s of-
fice their headquarters, and he
went over their prepared presen-
tation with them, and furnished
them with a ear and n driver to
Jo their business.
Senators Johnson and Pricti
Daniel agreed to go to l»ut for the
Brady Creek project when it
comes before the Senute, and
Johnson said he will call the dele-
gates, if it is necessary for them
to come back.
* * *
H. E. Wood, one of those at-
tending Wednesday night’s meet-
ing, told the delegates that "we
fellows at home certainly are
grateful to you boys for tackling
something as big as that,” and Sol
Rosenberg led lli: association
members in giving n “rising vote
of thanks” to the delegates.
“I only hope that we got some-
thing you can be proud of later
on,” Winters said,
* * (
Ogden outlined the delegates’
trip for the association members
Wednesday night, telling of the
. onfer.’neewith Fisher and John-
son, the hearing, and how the del-
egates narrowly missed being in
the House gullery during the
Puerto Kuans’ attack on the con-
gressman.
Although they didn't have much
time, the delegates did a little
sight-seeing, thanks to Miss Ouita
Moseley, former Brady woman
und longtime federal employe in
Washington. She met the dele-
gates Monday night and took them
on a tour of the city.
Increased Colton
Allotments Mailed;
Releases Sought
Increased cotton allotments
were mailed to McCulloch County
farmers last week by the county
Agriculture Stabilization and Con-
servation office.
The total cotton acreage fort
the county now Is 27,188 acres.
Increased from the orglnal allot-
ment of 20,006.
Farmers who do not plan to
plant cotton tills year are asked to
release their allotments hack to
the County ABC Committee. The
released allotments will be reas-
signed so as much cotton as possi-
ble can be produced here. That
will provide added Income for the
county this year and will maintain
the county’s allotment In future
years.
* * *
Although only 1 1,878 acres was
planted to cotton In McCulloch
County last year, the Increased al-
lotment is not expected to satisfy
completely the needs here. Faced
with grain crop failures and poor
moisture conditions, many farm-
ers would like to plant cotton, an
they did In 1051 when similar con-
ditions prevailed. That year 42,-
8i)(i acres went Into cotton.
When other crops fall, as John
Shurtleff, AHC secretary says,
“the farmer has to plant some-
thing." And cotton is the logical
crop, since It will grow with less
moisture than others. ,

The county's allotment was in-
creased by an amendment to farm
legislation passed In February,
