Here
and
Abroad
With tiie very mild winter, it
seemed that there would be an
early spring and cotton planting,
cultivating, and harvesting would
be over early. But the winter
saved its best for last and extend-
ed the cold weather far into the
spring.
* * ♦
In fact, Thursday extremes on
temperature were reported from
nine degrees below zero in north-
ern United States to 101 degrees
in South Texas.
* * *
There was a report Wednesday
night that an African lion was
seen in the North Sulphur bot-
toms near Cunningham in Lamar
county. Game Warden Reb Burks
organized a posse to hunt for the
lion which is supposed to have
escaped from a circus truck last
fall.
* * *
The city-wide clean-up was
evidently a success as numerous
trucks with debris passed across
the square Thursday afternoon on
their way to the dump ground.
Going over the city there was hun-
dreds of piles of rubbish, tin cans,
and junk placed in front of homes
to be carried away.

servers. Several days of good
weather are expected following the
rains.
Windstorm damage was report-
ed Friday night in the Charleston
area with one house damage and
two barns hit by the high winds.
One barn belonging to Monroe

The Veterans Agriculture Teach-
I ers of Delta county will offer their
services in vaccinating the dogs
j in the county beginning Tuesday,
May 9.
This service is being offered for
those who want it, and the school
is not trying to force this service
on any one, but hopes that every
one will take advantage of this
service. Dogs will be vaccinated
for the cost of the vaccine.
While no known outbreak of
rabies in Delta county at present,
there have been in several East
Texas counties. This service in
Delta county is offered as a pre-
ventative, not as a cure. There
is no treatment for rabies, once
the symptoms appear.
Extension Service of Texas A.
& M. College recently issued a
report on rabies as follows:
Texas Leads Nation
Texas reported more cases of
rabies than any other state in
1947. Eight thousand, nine hun-
dred forty-six cases were reported
in the United States. Of that
number. 1,191 were in Texas. This
figure is especially disturbing in
view of the fact that 14 states re-
ported no cases of rabies during
that year.
Farm people arc likely to feel
that the danger of rabies or hydro-
phobia is largely limited to cities.
This is not the case as statistics
show foxes are important carriers
of the disease. A further break-
down of the more than 8,000 re-
ported cases are figures showing
766 cases in cattle; 40 in horses;

Former Lake Creek
Minister Succumbs
Rev. W. E. Black, former pastor
of the Lake Creek Methodist
Protestant Church, passed away at
his home in Tehuacana, April 28.
He would have been 93 years old
on July 3.
Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Thomp-
son of Lake Creek and Mr. and

Rabies has been known for at
least 2,300 years and as yet ho
adequate control has been achiev-
ed in the United States. Un-
fortunately is is a disease that
could be controlled and soon
eradicated if nation-wide support
were given to proved methods of
control.
Easily Eradicated
No other disease of animals in
this country can be eradicated with
so little effort as would be re-
quired to eliminate rabies.
It is not communicated through
I the air. by insects, or by contact,
except if the victim be wounded.
[ Significantly, it is communicated
j only by the bite of a rabid ani-
1 mal, and with few exceptions, only
by bite of the dog. It has been
shown repeatedly in outbreaks in
I this country that the disease dis-
• appears from a locality when 60
per cent or more of the dogs are
vaslinated.
Prevention of rabies in the in-
dividual dog is acomplished by
annual vaccination. The quality
of the vaccine has improved in
the last few years. And while
100 per cent protection is not
obtained for all dogs, it still re-
mains a very effective weapon
against rabies.
From the community stand-
point, prevention is best obtained
by vaccination of all owned dogs
and the elimination of strays.
Schedule Arranged
Below is the schedule to be fol-
lowed in vaccinating the dogs in
the county:

Escaped Lion Being
Hunted in North
Sulphur Bottoms
An African lion that is believed
to have escaped from a wrecked
circus truck last winter is being
hunted in the North Sulphur bot-
tom lands near Cunningham.
The lion was sighted by two
men who were fishing Sunday
about seven miles south of Cun-
ningham. People in the area had
earlier reported seeing tracks of
such a size as to have been made
by a lion.
From Cunningham about 200
people carried their rifles and
their hound dogs to a 900-acre
forest seven miles to the south.
It was there that Robert Lan-
dum and Claude Kennedy were
fishing Sunday when there was a
frightening interruption.
Kennedy, a Cunningham garage
operator, says he saw it, and it
was a lion.
Folks in the area believe it is
a male lion which escaped last
year when a Kelly Bros Circus I
truck was wrecked in the Kiami-
cia Mountains of Oklahoma.
Landum, a grocer, says he didn’t
actually see the lion. But he saw
something that was three feet tall,
a gray color, weighed about 200
pounds and "growled like a lion.”
Sheriff Willie P. Lane, who took
Deputies Jack Oliver and W. A.
Welch along with him, said, “that’s
too big for a bobcat and a bobcat
is the biggest cat we usually have
around here.”
The big wooded area has some
very rough terrain with heavy
underbrush and fallen trees.

Veteran's School
Law Providing for
Beginning Cited
Considerable interest has been
manifested in a portion of the Vet-
eran’s Administration law provid-
ing for the final date of beginning
training.
Following is the law as set forth
which was furnished the Review
by Wade Bledsoe, Coordinator for
the Veteran's Schools in Delta
county:
“The law provides that a course
of education or training shall be
initiated before the termination of
four years after the date of dis-
charge or by July 25, 1951, which-
ever is the later, and that such
education or training cannot be
offered beyond July 25, 1956, ex-
cept for those veterans who en-
listed under the Voluntary Re-
cruiting Act of October 6, 1945.
“Therefore, a veteran otherwise
eligible must have commenced and
actually be pursuing his course of
education or training on July 25,
1951, or the date four years after
discharge, whichever is later, ex-
cept where his attendance is inter-
rupted because of the normal in-
terruptions for summer vacations,
or other reasons beyond the con-
trol of the veteran.”
Teen Town Closed
For One Month
Further meetings of Teen Town
have been postponed until the
first Thursday night in June be-
cause of the many activities that
go with the last month of school.
Teen Town has been received
with such enthusiam by everyone
that the sponsors plan to continue
it through the summer months.
Burial Made Here
Monday Afternoon
For Odell Kerbow
Burial was held here Monday
afternoon for James Odell Ker-
bow, 36, who was accidently kill-
ed by a gunshot discharge in Pas-
adena Saturday. The funeral was
held at the First Baptist Church by
Rev. Lunsford of Pickton, assisted
by Rev. White and Rev. Bonner.
Mr. Kerbow, a native of Delta
county, died after a rifle shot
struck him in the temple. Harris
county officials holding an inquest
returned a verdict of death by ac-
cidental gunshot wound while he
was cleaning a rifle. Delta Fun-
eral Home made burial in Oak
Lawn Cemetery.
He was the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Jim L. Kerbow of Klondike. He
is survived by his wife, the form-
er Miss Bernice Hegler, two sons,
James Roland and David Law-
rence, and these brothers and sis-
ters, Conrad Kerbow and Mrs.
Hank Craig, Ridgeway; Eugene
Kerbow, Deer Park; F. L. Kerbow,
Houston; Morris Kerbow, Dallas;
and Miss Miriam Kerbow, Pasa-
dena.
Pallbearers for the services
were Ray Wilson, Marshall Ker-
bow, Henry Kerbow, Casto Strick-
lin Willard Kerbow and Howard
Dawson.
Among those attending the ser-
vices from out of town were Mr.
and Mrs. J. L. Hegler and Mr. and
Mrs. Ertis Hegler, DeKalb; Mrs.
Ray Trimble, Texarkana; Mr. and
Mrs. Eugene Kerbow and Mrs.
Harlan Craig, Ridgeway; Mr. and
Mrs. Morris Kerbow, Dallas; Mr.
and Mrs. Will Tilliam, Greenville;
and Mrs. Tom Anderson, Sulphur
Springs.
condition of some of the roads has
prevented the complete enumera-
tion of everyone in the county and
if any person has not been enu-
merated or if they know of any-
one who has not been counted
please get in touch with him.
The enumeration of Cooper was
completed a little ahead of sche-
dule in the “big count” for the
nation while the national 1950
population count was estimated by
Census Bureau officials to be
about 90 per cent complete. They
said that two or three more weeks
would be required to finish the
job.
First tentative figures are due
to be made public this month and
the next. They will be announced
by district census supervisors and
will include population figures for
counties and for cities of more than
10.000 persons.
Pre-census estimates were that
the nation’s population would be
found to be somewhere around
150.500.000 or 151,000,000 persona.
That would compare with the of-
ficial total of 131,169,275 for the
Continental United States in the
1940 census.
This year’s nose-counting start-
ed on April 1, with completion
during April as a target.
The provisional population totals
for counties and for cities over
10.000 will be the only one re-
leased from the census district
field offices. Others will come
from Washington.
First date from Washing will be
provisional figures for states ex-
pected to be available around
i September. The tentative national
figuse is expected about the end
of that month. The final official
state and national figuses will be
given the President Dec. 1.

Clarification of the location and
purpose of the Cooper reservoir
and dam was obtained this week
from the Division Engineer of the
Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army.
Lt. Col. H. C. Rowland, executive
officer for the Division Engineer,
stated in a letter to Marvin W.
Hagemeier, manager of the Delta
County Chamber of Commerce,
this week that the location of the
Cooper dam will be directly south
of Cooper.
He also stated that the proposed
capacity of the reservoir is 130,-
000 acre feet for flood control
storage and 5,000 acre-feet for
conservation storage. As a com-
parison, the Cooper City Lake con-
tains 250 acre feet of water at an
average depth of four feet.
While no specific information
was given as to the location of the
dam except oeing directly south
of Cooper, it is believed that the
old Deep Well crossing of South
Sulphur is the intended spot for
the dam. At this point, fairly
high bluffs extend close to the
bed of the river.

ated from Southwestern School of

Recent Rains Give
Different Picture
On Legume Crops
The recent rains have caused a
considerably different outlook on
the legume crops of the county.
The hairy vetch acreage, about
3,000 acres, was looking like a
failure before the rains. Now it
looks as if the production will
probably average about four to
five hundred pounds of seed per
acre.
The hubam clover acreage which
will be approximately 10,000 acres
was also greatly benefited by the
recent rains. The hubam seed
production is expected to average
about 500 pounds per acre.
According to reports by Carl P.
Harrison, the outlook is for hairy
vetch seed to bring about $15 per
100 at harvest time and he thinks
hubam clover will bring about $10
to $12 per 100 at harvest time.
With the present outlook the leg-
ume crop of Delta county will be
a fairly good money crop this year.
Cooper Review has been publish
ed in Delta county, there has ac-
cumulated in our files numerous
cuts of persons whom we are un-
able to identify.
The late publisher of The Coop-
er Review, in his 44 years of pub-
lishing experience in Cooper, was
able to recognize many of the
faces, but names that were once
attached to the engravings have
disappeared and we are at a loss
to tie the names and faces to-
gether.
Engravings through the years
have improved to a great extent
both in quality and in lower cost.
Because of the poor reproduction
of engravings of some 40 years
ago and the tremendous cost in-
volved, few newspapers carried
many of the engravings.
However, over the years, the
publishers of The Cooper Review
have tried to obtain photographs
of citizens both prominent in the
social, cultural, and civic life of
Cooper and Delta county and have
them made into engravings that
were reproduced from time to
time.
Here is the first of our unknown
engravings. If at all possible per-
haps someone will be able to
identify him and will be able to
tell the readers of The Review j
when and where he lived in Delta I
county, what he did and something
about his life.
