SETTLORS’ REUNION?
A great mapy of the old timers of
this section have expressed a desire
to have an Old Settlers’ Reunion this
year, similar to the one conducted by
C. D. Stokes last year. Since it would
have to be a cooperative affair, they
have asked the Leader to put the
idea before the people of this sec-
tion so that their sentiments on the
plan may be obtained.
If you are an old settler here and
want to see suph a gathering, see or
write to Charley Taylor of Kemp-
ner, or come to the Leader office and
sign a blank form left here for that
purpose. Remember, that you would
not be an invited guest of one person
at such a reunion, but would be one
of the sponsors yourself. The af-
fair would be handled cooperatively
under the leadership of a few of the
more energetic old timers.

THROUGH THE LONG-
HORN CAVERN
If you have never been to the Long-
horn Cavern, you’ve missed an inter-
esting trip. Aside from the beauties
of the cavern, it is interesting to see
what has been accomplished by the
boys in the CCC camp there.
The cavern is located 11 miles
southwest of Burnet and the entrance
to the State park is about 4 miles
south of Burnet on Highway 66. The
beautiful entrance has been built by
the boys out of native stone and they
have also built a good dirt road from
the highway to the cavern. The most
interesting feature of the park, out-
side of the cave, is the beautiful ad-
ministration building, built of native
stone and cedar and covered with
hand-hewn cypress shingles. All of
the wood work in the building is of
roughly hewn cedar, artistically
worked out. An outside stairway
leads to the roof, where a nice view
can be obtained of the surrounding
territory. H. H. Galloway, manager
of the cavern, stated that one of the
highest CCC officials from Washing-
ton, was there last week on an in-
spection tour, and said that the ad-
ministration building was the most
beautiful building that had been built
by CCC boys anywhere in the United
States.
Mr. Galloway will probably welcome
you personally at the entrance of the

cavern and make arrangements for
a guide to show you through. The
entire trip through the cavern takes
about an hour and you cover about
a mile of gi*ound. The entrance into
the main room of the cavern is by
means of a winding trail that leads
almost straight down for a distance
of approximately 40 feet. From there
passages lead in two directions, one
of them dividing again a short dis-
tance from the entrance. The vari-
ous rock formations, curious designs
worked out in stone, underground
'spring^, and the beiaujtiful! crystal
rooms are some of the highlights of
the trip.
Only a small portion of the cavern
has really been opened so far. There
are many rooms on the first level
that have not been opened yet and
there is a lower level that hasn’t been
opened. One of the features of the
lower level is the Lake Room, con-
taining an undei’ground lake.
Mr. Galloway states that he hopes
to have the cavern in great shape by
the time the Texas Centennial opens
next June 6. More rooms will be
opened to the public, a modern light-
ing system similar to the one in
Carlsbad will have been installed by
the federal government;- and two ad-
ditions will have been made to the
administration building to house a
modern cafe-fountain and a dance
hall. There are 150 boys in the CCC
camp there^ and they are working
hard to get*' the cavern completed as
soon as possible.

The Parent-Teachers Association

in the grammar school auditorium.
Preceding the meeting, the Mother
Singers met for half an hour and
will continue to do so before each

der by the president, Mrs. N. B. Tay-
lor, and a song was sung by the or-
ganization followed by the Lord’s

A car containing two white men
and eight Mexicans was wrecked at
2 o’clock Monday morning on High-
way 66, eight miles south of Lam-
pasas. Three of the Mexicans receiv-
ed fractured skulls, two others were
injured, and Earnest Hanson, driver
and owner of the Ford V-8 pickup,
was possibly seriously injured.
Hanson and the five injured Mexi-
cans were brought to the local hos-
pital by two Burnet Furniture Com-
pany ambulances, reaching here about
3:10 o’clock. Hanson did not stay at
the hospital for a thorough examina-
tion but was taken on to Dublin by
automobile. One of the Mexicans was
turned loose after being treated, an-
other is not considered serious, but
the three whose skulls were fractur-
ed are in a critical condition, one not
expected to live but ^a short time.
Hanson and R. C. Dickie had been
to San Antonio and gotten the Mexi-
cans and were taking them to DeLeon
to pick up pecans. A tire blew out,
causing the car to swerve into the
banisters of a concrete culvert, and
then turn over. The front of the car
was damaged considerably. The two
white men were riding in the cab of
the car and the eight Mexicans were
in the pickup bed.
What We Can Give
'Your Children
More of mother’s time for answering questions
for reading, telling stories, playing games.
More of mother’s time for the fixing of little
dishes that make for healthier bodies and strong-
er minds—more time for mending, bathing and
coddling.
More time for mothering.
These are the things we o^,n give your children

DOLE TO END IN
NOVEMBER EVEN IF
JOBS NOT PROVIDED
SANTA FE OFFICIALS
WERE HERE MONDAY
Several officials of the Santa Fe
railroad were visitors Monday in
Lampasas and visited with the busi-
ness men of the city during their
stay here. The party included: M.
R. Tai'rant, trainmaster; W. T.. Dur-
ham, traveling freight agent; W. H.
Grazier, chief clerk to superintend-
ent; W. H. Hughes, division store-
keeper; J. H. Berger, roadmaster.
Mrs. Maurine Flanagan, rural home
supervisor, and S. M. McCracken, rur-
al supervisor, were in Mexia, Monday
attending a bi-district meeting of the
rural resettlement administration in
Texas.
Mrs. Ben Northington and Mrs.
Myrtle Thomas spent Sunday after-
noon at the Longhorn Cavern near
Burnet.
Wasingthon, Oct. 18.—Despite the
fact tnat the work relief program
was recorded today as two million
jobs short of "its goal, Aubrey Wil-
liams, acting works progress admin-
istrator, said “federal participation
in direct relief wll be virtually ended
during November.”
The first report on work relief
employment in two weeks listed 1,-
310,733 jobs given with 3,500,000 set
as the goal. The reports represented
an increase of 184,479 jobs in the
past fortnight, but apparently fore-
cast failure for the attempt to at-
tain 3,150,000 by the end of the
month.
To do this, employment must be
given 1,839,267 in less than two weeks.
The civilian conservation corps, which
today accounted for almost as many
persons as Hopkins’ own WPA al-
ready has attained its maximum
strength.
To date six states—Alabama, Wy-
oming, New Hampshire, Nevada,
Indiana and Vermont—have been cut
off the dole. Even there, however,
work relief jobs have not absorbed
all needy employables and direct re-
lief must support those out of work
until they can be transferred to pay-
rolls.
Nov. 1 originally was set by Hop-
kins for complete attainment of the
3,500,000 goal, with the relief admin-
istration to go out of business then.
Direct relief already has cost $300,-
000,000 more than the $880,000,000
estimated when the program was
scheduled to start July 1.

Mrs. Maydell Locklear of Lometa
is visiting here this week with friends.

The elder brother, William H. Pier-
son, and a sister, Mrs. Alice Thomas
of Salina, Kan., who have visited
young Pierson frequently, planned an
insanity defense. Dozens of witnesses,
including alieni^s, have been sum-
moned.
District Attorney James P. Hart
said he was prepared to oppose any
claim of insanity. He will rely
chiefly on officers who have observ-
ed Pierson during his imprisonment
and acquaintances.
Norman Heine of the Longhorn
Cavern CCC camp spent the week end
here with his mother.
Austin, Oct. 20.—Youthful Howard
Pierson, confessed slayer of his dis-
tinguished parents, thinks his trial
on murder charges set for tomorrow
will “come out all right.”
Through the bars of the jail where
he has been imprisoned five months
he .said he was not worried by the
prospect of the death penalty the
State’s attorney plans to ask.
“I am not worried,” he said. “I
think everything will come out all
right. I hope to get it over with
as=> soon as possible, one way or an-
other.”
Last April 24, Pierson, 21, lured
his father and mother, William Pier-
son, associate justice of the State
supreme court, and Mrs. Pierson, to
a country road, he admitted, and shot
±hem to death.
First he shot his mother, because
she was nearest to him. Then he
shot his father. Finally, he drilled
a bullet through the head of each
“to make sure they were dead.”
He also shot himself in the left
arm to substantiate a story the au-
tomobile party had been waylaid by
robbers, but later confessed he had
carefully planned the crime.
