In the event of Inclement weather conditions the huskin' will be held in the Union Building. It's an event that ail the students ot the college take part with great 'ado and many townspeople also enjoy the festivities.

Jess Burch has lived In around Denton for near 10 years and he has been one of the town's most ardent baseball fans.

Yet. as Interested as he has been in baseball, he'd never seen a football game until this past week when he saw Denton High win over Adamson. "I've lived right across from the field; have heard 'em yell and cheer, but never thought about going to see 'em." he said. "That's a rough game and I believe if I knew what it was all about, I might become a Ian for that sport. I think I'll see another game one of these days." This wildfowl season may be a 'goose season', as SQ far it seems timt there are more geese coming to Denton County waters than ducks.

T. o. Bobbitt, Game Warden, said. "I don't Ihiuk I have ever seen so many geese in Denton County at this time of the year and it very noticeable that the geese far outnumber ducks." Wild Enos of Allison, Wisa County, was in Deuton on business, and we want to make sure that we don't put him tiown as being from Justin, as some of the boys over Iherc came near suing Roundabout, for stating that he Jived in. that community.

He did live there, but "Wild" says he has gone back in the cattle business in Wise Comity. "I have a few head of cattle of my own and had thought I'd never get back to riding herd on a bunch of wild steers, but I have. The Waggoners came lo me, saytner they were going to put few head on their pasture next to mine and wanted me to look after them. Said it wouldn't take over an hour or so a day. I demurred at first, saying I had quit that hard work, but finally consented.

They sent in about 200 and I've been working about 18 hours a day--riding fence, fighting files and scrcwworms." When Wild was younger there was not a better roper or rider in the rmmt.y, bi't he admits that he can't get the Job done like he used to do.

Begins Sixth Year LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. The united Nations enters Us sixth year today with the powerful political committee hotly debating ways to reach the organization's prime objective--a Just and lasting peace. The committee has already approved Secretary of State Dean Acheson's plan to give the veto- free assembly military power to combat aggression as one means to that end. Now it is trying to Decide whether a new Russian "peace plan" would also help. Delegates of 60-ntlons gathered here this morning with President Truman's pence plea for a "foolproof disarmament," made at yesterday's U.

N. birthday, still ringing in their ears. In his speech the President pledged the U. S- would remain strong to combat aggression, but urged that the U. N.

make every effort to obtain disarmament. In a dramatic reversal ot previous U. S. policy, Truman suggested that discussion of outlawing the atom bomb be combined with talks on cutting down on pre-sitomlc weapons. These two subjects have, on U.

3. insistence, always been kept separate although Russia has insisted they be combined. The 'J. N. at present has two separate commissions discussing the items.

Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vlshlnsky refused to comment on Truman's change of heart, but Deputy Foreign Minister Jacob A. Malik suggested that it might be due to the fact that Russia now claims to have the atom bomb. LAKE SUCCESS. Oct.
