Stadium has been usfrd on Easter
mornings for the beautiful sun-
rise services attended by hund-
reds .of people. -
Since there is no longer a
hand stand on the now small
courthouse square, Indian Mem-
orial Stadium would be a fine
place for spring and summer
band concerts,..
If the fine old custom of school
May Fetes is ever revived in Co-
manche, where would there be a '
prettier place for such an event
than In Indian Memorial Stad-
ium?

Just two years from now Co-

old. The county was created in
1850 with Oora as the county
seat.

We certainly should have some
kind of Centennial observance
In 1956. Indian Memorial Stad-
ium would be an ideal place to
stage a historical pageant depict-
ing the origin and growth of
Comanche County.
A beautiful stadium will cause
morev and better teams to want
to play In Comanche.

Comanche furnished other
towns big crowds during the re-
cent football season but we
brought few of them here.

If you were one of the many
hundreds of Comanche Indian
fans who saw all the 14 games
played this year, all but 5 away
from home, you traveled' approxi-
mately 1.800 milt's nju^.,pf town
going to and from the^.games.

This figures out 160 miles to
and from Brady; 270 miles to
and from Lakevlew; 180 miles to
add. from Ballinger; 170 miles
to and from Weatherford; and
160 miles to and fronp- Mineral

That was in the regular sea-
sbn. In the play-off you travel-
ed round trip 70 miles to Ste-
phenvllle to see the Indians
trounce Handley; went- to Min-
eral Wells again for the Indian-
Hlllcrest game. Then traveled
460 miles round trip to Tyler to
see the Indians take Henderson
In the mud battle; and then went
120 miles to Coleman and back
game with Ballinger.

Right now the Comanche
Study Club, or some other learn-
ed organization, should begin to
lay plans for this celebration.
Instead of Indian Memorial
Stadium being used Just 5 or 6
nights a year during football
season, you as well as we, can
think of many other useful ways
it could be used.
