He has earned your confidence and asks promotion to SENATE ments "will be 'built mainly to provide 'housing for those displaced by urban renewal and highway projects." However tween the Hearne's proposed urban renewal program and highway construction seems slight. No highway construction in Hearne, either scheduled or on the drawing board, will dislocate family dwellings. Also, few people in the proposed renewal project area can be considered likely prospects for rental of such units. Hearne's Urban Renewal Director Lewis McGuire is also certain the apartment project has nothing to do with the urban renewal project presently being considered. McGuire said Wednesday that the majority of the people that might be displaced by the urban renewal project aie either home owners who probably will build back on their own property or renters whose income is not sufficient to enable them to take apartments renting at $70 to $90 a month.

He added that the local renewal commission is required to find rental property within the means of anyone being dislocated. "Obviously this (the proposed apartment project) is a venture that will be made available to the general public and not just to those in the renewal project area," McGuire said in summary. Three or four times each year I go to Norwood Cemetery to visit for an hour or more. First, I visit the graves of my parents and then on to the graves of friends I have known in the past. Always I go at Christmas.

If it is impossible for me to attend the funeral of a friend, I visit the grave later. I feel like I owe this to him. When 1 was a kid I attended a MOORE funeral and stayed around until the crowd dispersed and the grave had been filled. When the last shovel of earth had been placed one of the fellows aside, mopped his brow and said, "Well, he was a PRETTY GOOD OLD BOY."

A drive through these states is one of the most scenic in the nation. In the Old South you hear more old-time gospel singing and guitar twanging on TV than you do in Texas.

A few days ago I was talking with a brother who told me about a little shooting fray between two women who didn't like each other because both liked the same man. It all ended when one shot the other in the hip. I asked if she was hurt, "No," he said. "It didn't hurt her much. It just got the hide." Get the hide, or no, I don't want anybody shooting at me.

EGGS FROM THE EAGLES' NEST; LINEBACKERS IMPORTANT When the Eagles take to the turf this fall they will tangle with some tough ones including Taylor and Mexia. Eleven lettermen will walk the graduation plank this year. Eleven will return. Johnny Mathis and Butch Marline, a pair of crack linebackers, will be around.

Both weigh 180 and will be seniors. Butch Reed, former Eagle backficld great and now with the University of Houston Cougers, has been moved to split end. Reports from Houston indicate Reed had a good spring. The Cougers play one out of town game each spring. It might be possible to get the game for Hearne.
