WAR MEMORIAL BUILDING
That was a representative group of
citizens that met at the new Carson County
War Memorial building recently to discuss
plans for its operation.
The building has been completed for
eight months, but it has not been fixed
up entirely so that meetings cannot be held
with ease. There are no seating arrange-
ments for meetings.
With schools being considered for oper-
ation of the swimming pool and the county
for the War Memorial building, suggested
plans at least are under way for permanent
use of these two Carson county improve-
ments.
The war memorial room, dedicated to
the memory of Carson county boys who
lost their lives in World War 2, should be
prepared at once. Also, the list of boys and
girls who were in military service should
be prepared and placed on display. These
two lists were reasons why many persons
donated to the two memorial projects.
Also, another factor should be handled
without delay even if it requires raising
a small additional sum. Two lots on the
north side of the war memorial block re-
main in private hands yet. It is understood
that they are being sold, but the new
owner is willing for the war memorial
group to own them.
The site needs landscaping and plans;
should take in the entire half block on
which the War Memorial building is
erected.
GOOD FROM EVALUATION
Panhandle undoubtedly will benefit
from the evaluation of its public schools
by a committee of visiting teachers.
As has been said by many persons, the
visitors did not know any more about the
Panhandle schools than the local residents.
Our shortcomings have been known for
many years, but tnere has not been effort
made to correct some oi them.
Many of the bad things are financial.
It is going to take more money to provide
better physical facilities. That issue must
be faced. It is most regrettable that more
of the physical side was not taken care
of 10 to 15 years ago when dollars could
buy more.

FIGHT IN DALLAS
Dallas has been having its troubles over
schools lately. Principal topic seems to be
whether there should be 12 months of
public school, whether women should serve
on the board and as to the quality of
lunch rooms.
Just why any one should be opposed to
a woman on a school board is difficult
to understand. Most women school trus-
tees probably would show up men in the
time they devote to the work.
If women want to file their names and
can win in the elections, they have the
right to serve as school trustees in Dallas
or in any other public office to which they
are otherwise eligible.
Texans however have voted against
women serving on juries.

nette, president. The first an-
nounced the resignation of line
coach Odis Crowell and the sec-
ond, the signing of Gene Mayfield
to a fulltime position on the coach-
ing staff.
Also, head coach Frank Kim-
brough revealed a reshuffling of
assignments within the staff in
view of the announced changes.
Crowell, now completing his
third year as line coach of the
Buffaloes, has accepted a position
as line coach at the University
of Arizona, Tucson. He will re-
main at West Texas until the
spring term is completed and will
report to Arizona around July 1.
Mayfield, star quarterback of
the 19 50 champion Buffaloes, will
assume his new duties June 1.
Crowell played college ball un-
der Kimbrough at Amarillo Cil-
lege and Hardin-Simmons. Prior
to coming to West Texas he had
played pro ball with the San Fran-
cisco ’49ers and had coached high
school teams at Loyola High, Los
Angeles; and at Friona.
Coach Kimbrough outlined the
following duties for his newly-
shuffled staff:
Hatcher Brown will continue
as end and wingback coach on
offense, linebacker coach on de-
fense and scout.
Borden Price will work with
offensive centers, guards and
tackles; defensive guards and
tackles and scout.
Gene Mayfield will handle of-
fensive quarterbacks and ball-
carriers and will work with de-
fensive halfbacks and safety.
Coach Kimbrough will continue
his general supervision as in the
past only with more emphasis
placed on work with linemen.

He had gone to work by bus that
morning because Evelyn needed the
car for some special shopping, she
I said. To be sure of a healthy ap-
petite for the herring, he decided
to walkfhome.
Pausing when he reached his own
back door, Eddie clocked his hike,
proud of the four minutes clipped
from last trip’s walking time. His
hand, carefully replacing his watch,
touched a small square of folded
paper in his pocket. He drew it out,
opened it and read: “Anniversary
gift for Evelyn ...”
Their first anniversary! How
could he have forgotten? Days ago
he had scribbled down this remind-
er, to be sure.
Furtively he glanced at the high
kitchen windows. There stood Eve-
lyn, her head and her soulders
framed in glass like she were a
beautiful portrait. She was working
at the sink and she was crying!
Eddie felt like a heel. No
wonder she had used the car to
shop, and had fixed his favorite
menu. She had remembered,
while he—he had requested her-
ring for supper!
He watched Evelyn sniffle and
blink tears. He stood on the stoop,
considering. If he went home with a
gift, he might convince her the her-
ring was a gag.
All the stores would be closed by
now—unless Old Jan, the jeweler,
was still tinkering in his shop.
TjECAUSE EDDIE thought Evelyn
^ might miss the car if he took
it, he walked to the nearest drug-
store and phoned for a cab. Thir-
teen minutes passed before it came.
“Hurry!” begged Eddie. “Jan
might remember to close on time.”
Jan had closed on time. He re-
turned slowly to the cab.
“Flowers are always appreci-
ated,” suggested the driver.
“That’s an idea!”
They drove to Marley’s Flower
Shoppe—and found it locked. He
just had to find something! He
couldn’t go home empty-handed and
face a weeping wife.
He was moping toward the cab
when inspiration hit him. “Hanfel,
the furrier! My business neighbor!
He’ll come and open up for me.”
“Wait twenty minutes,” Hanfel
said when Eddie called. “We’re
eating. I got herring, yet.”
Herring! Eddie moaned. He said,
‘Til wait.”
He waited forty-five minutes be-
fore Hanfel drove up. “I want a

“A size nine mink, I don’t have.
I got a Russia Fitch jacket, size
nine.”
“Wrap it up,” Eddie said, re-
signed.
With a good fur sale transacted
and gorged on herring, Hanfel felt
good. “I’ll drive you home, Eddie.
Your wife’s going to think she’s got
a wonderful man of memory!”
Evelyn must have been watching
for him. She met him at the door.
“Anything wrong, Eddie—?”
Inside, Eddie proudly displayed
the Russian Fitch jacket. “It’s a
special day, honey—remember—?”
Evelyn squealed with delight
and kissed him. “You’re the
best husband a girl ever had,
darling. And I was afraid you’d
forgotten our anniversary—im-
agine!” She seemed scared
suddenly. “Eddie—! You were
kidding about the herring—!”
Eddie held her close. “Certainly
not, baby! Next to you, I love her-
ring best.”
“Oh honey—! You’re worth all the
smelly old herring in the world . . .
Only, Eddie—remind me to look
through my household hints for
some method of peeling onions that
always go with herring—so they
won’t make me cry ...”

Bushland Trip

All persons interested in study-
ing weed control, green bug con-
trol, wheat production, barley and
oats growing, grain and forage
sorghums, tillage and other prac-
tices having to do with better

son county residents are urged
to plan to make the trip to the
station with their neighbors on
May 17 or May 18. The program
will open at 1:30 o’clock each day
and the schedule will be similar
both days.
Dr. Charles Whitfield, in charge
of this station, is working with
Knox Parr, district agent, and
others in preparing for these
events. Carson county residents
planning to attend are asked to
notify Conuty Agent Nichols at
the court house not later than

ing to the court house to visit

or May 18, is most desirable to
make the trip.
The entire staff at the Ama-
rillo Experiment Station will be

field trips. The weed control plots
are outside the station but just
north of Bushland.
