The Eagles kicked off to Franklin and the crowd looked on in I stark amazement as the Lions headed toward Bald Prairie. The opening drive was climaxed when Hicks bulled over the initial touchdown. The try for point failed. Gloom hung down on the Hearne crowd and coaches like a horse thief from an oak tree limb. Mow'it was time to give the Eagles a chance.

Tiro plays later the awfulest wing happened. Franklin got a 15 yard penalty for roughing the kicker. The ball was on the 30 for all to see. The Hearne fans now opened up and out of that clamor of tongues came inspiration. Tim Batson loped to the Franklin 30.

Batson said Wednesday that he would start his usual flock of Eagles with the possible exception of quarterback Chester Russell who has bean out of practice most of this week nursing a painful boil on his knee. Sophomore BUI Seabaugh, kick-off specialist for the Eagles, will also be missing due to a sprained ankle.

The Bulldog's offense is spearheaded by Bert Brewer, a six-foot one-inch senior quarterback who brings a trackman's speed to the gridiron. The east Texans have little to show in the way of a passing attack if performances in past fames are any moans of Judging. Quarterback Brewer's passing arm does not seem to be equal to the speed of his two receiving. Hearne crowd, which minutes before, for all intents and purposes, was dead, now rose and shouted.

An electric wave seemed to sweep through the stands, out onto the highway, and down the road to Hearne (Route 79). The Franklin side was so quiet you hear it thunder in Alaska.

Grant rWork The Hearne city council drew a bead on a $166,000 chunk of federal money Monday night, adopting resolutions approving applications for an outright grant of that amount to match municipal funds already on hand for storm sewer installation.

The action was prompted by the recent passage by Congress of the Public Works Acceleration Act which seeks to funnel $960 million in matching federal funds into eligible communities within the next 12 months. ALTHOUGH THE exact amount available to back up the act will be known only after Congress has passed an appropriations bill, applications are already being accepted for processing by the regional director of the Community Faculties Administration in Fort Worth. City Manager N. L. McCarver was in Fort Worth Wednesday to file the application.

This new entry by the federal government into a public works program is in no way connected with the Urban Renewal Program that is presently being considered by Hearne's city council. Avowed purpose of the new legislation Is to provide immediate useful work for the unemployed and underemployed in certain areas that qualify by virtue of a record of Hearne First For All-Texas Air Tour The 14th Annual All-Texas Air Tour will depart from Temple October 8 for a week of flying and the first stop by the 46-plane caravan will be the Hearne Municipal Air Strip.

The money which the city of Hearne is trying to have matched is the $170,000 still on hand from the sale of 9200,000 in municipal a IMi city election. Of the remaining 000 is slated principally for storm installation on Brown Street and 830,000 is for similar in east Hearne.

However about $4,000 in anticipated right- of-way expense is included in the $140,000 part, reducing the amount of money eligible to be matched to $186,000. If finally approved, city officials foresee the net effect of the grant will be to double the scope of the local storm sewer projects.
