Juhu Mc.rri:s, Lhda. cai. Up and Down The Street There are a iot of good scouts in Clovis, as anyone who has been 'up and down the street in the i past two or three days must have observed. Many times it was irnposible to back a car away from the curb downtown where the streets had been made slippery by packed snow. But almost invariably the driver was assisted by whatever passersby happening to be on the street.

One or two men pushing on the front of the car usually succeeded in getting the snowbound vehicle into the traffic- lane with little difficulty but the fact they were willing to help and did so is the nice thing. Not only is Clovis suffering from the "unusual cold spell as it's pretty generally around the country. In fact San Antonio, which is noted for its mild winter weather, has been having xero weather with icy streets. The New Year's game between Hardin-Simmons and Denver had to be postponed because of the weather until Saturday afternoon. Leaving Clovis Monday to attend the New Year's game Aline Vaughter, Margaret and Bernard Dougherty and Hywan- nah McFarland have been among a lot of folks who've had to wait over until the game could be played.

Both Margaret and Hy- wnrmnh are members fo the Cow-' girls and participated in the formal march of the Cowgirls he- tv.een halves. dog tag as it doesn't take the figure "13" to cause bad luck. Not at all. In fact the Houlettes have had five dogs in the past three ears first three were poisoned and the other two died from illnesses. Their last dog, Bounce, which they got just a few months ago as a tiny puppy and whom the whole family was "pretty fond of ill from distemper last Sunday ami was so sick that they decided it best to have the pet "put to sleep." So they grimly su.s—you don't need the figure "13" to be Jinxed.
