Freer Finally Gets
Rid of Salty Water
FREER, Tex.—(A*) — After
•listing on water some time* al-
most too salty to drink for more
than half a century since it was
founder In 1907. Freer at last
fresh water to drink, bathing,
and even to water the Kraus.
The town was named for O. J
Freer, original owner of the town-
site in northwestern Duval Coun-
ty. It developed with discovery
of the Piedras Plntas oilfield
and has a population of around
3.000.
Hut never except for a few in-
dividual wells has it had fre-li
water readily available.
The state-approved water that
now flows throuKh the mains
comes directly from a 500,000-
Itallon tank nine miles south of
Freer, where fresh water wells
were finally located sufficient to
supply the city.
Comments amonK the house-
wives in the area rang" from.
“Now, I can throw away that
water JtiK that has been in the
way all these years, hut it will
take a while to net used to not
koIiik to the hack porch for
water," to "I can't believe It. ,
How will I ever s*.*t used to
turning on the tap to get a
drink of water?”
The distric t held an election I
authorising issuance of $985,000 j
in bonds to drill wells, pipe the
water to town, and build storage
tanks. It passed 597-2.

Notes From Vivian
By MRS. L. B. SMITH
Prndyitcs are proud of their
high school girls basketball team!
Miss Laurice Hunter, girls’
physical education teacher and
basketball coach for the past four
years, is realizing the fruits of
her untiring labors as her girls
won the district by defeating
Lampasas last week.
Basketball for girls In BUS was
discontinued in the early 1930's
and was not revived until a few
years ago. Members of the Moth-
ers’ Club met with the Brady
School Board pleading the girls’
case, but felt it was to no avail.
They’ were quite pleased and sur-
prised a year or so later when it
was approved.
Our girls this year have proved
that girls can be good at sports
as well as boys. Congratulations,
girls!

Still practicing hnv but more

who had been elected county
Judge try the Populists In the
1 890’s. At the age of 7.5, he ne-
(•itiat'd a thirty-year lease on
one of his buildings and was
highly elated, evidently forget-
ting the fact that he r >n 1*1 not

more than a few years.
Another lawyer, who likewise
did little law practicing but man-
acid his laiul-d holdings, was a

so much that, as one Irreverent
Individual remarked. "It would
