The Abilene Reporter -News PAGE ONE ABILENE, TEXAS, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2, 1955 SECTION Paving Projects To Be Stressed A publicity campaign to encourage voluntary paving projects in Abilene will stress: 1.

The advantages of paved streets to a city and to the property owner. 2. Easy availability of credit for paving costs, The effort is being launched by 35 Abilenians Due to Attend Pythian Parley A delegation of 35 to: 40 Abilenians, members of the Knights of Pythias and their families, will attend a statewide reunion at the Texas Pythian Home at Weatherford Sunday. It's the 19th annual homecoming celebration for former residents of the home and attracts around 400 members of the lodge from all parts of Texas. Highlight of the all-day affair will We an address by Rep.

James Wright, of Weatherford, He will speak after a luncheon is served on the grounds. Church services will be held in a special 600-seat tent to be erected on the lawn, In the afternoon a tour of the home and its farm is scheduled. W. F. (Spot) Langford will head the Abilene group.

Langford is a past chancellor commander of Abilene Lodge No. 42, Knights of Pythias. When George Dunning resigned that job recently Langford was named to fill out his unexpired term. Burleson to Talk At Lake Ceremony EASTLAND, Sept. 2.

Official opening of Lake Leon will begin Saturday, The celebration will open with ceremonies Saturday afternoon which are to include a speech by Rep. Omar Burleson, and will close with the selection of a Lake Leon queen Sunday afternoon. Lake Leon supplies water for a publicity sub-committee of the Abilene Chamber of Commerce paving committee. Tom Pearce, sub-panel chairman, presided Thursday afternoon at a planning session of his group. He stressed that paved streets are economical in maintenance for a city, are safe for traffic and easier on citizens' health than those which are unpaved.

Pearce, a real estate dealer, pointed out that it is much harder to rent or sell a house on an unpaved street than on a paved one. He said an adequate number of through streets could be designated to handle traffic efficiently if all Abilene streets were paved. Fred Lybrand chairman of the whole paying committee, emphasized that banks and 589- ings and loan associations like to lend money to property owners for financing paving. These institutions allow up to 24 months for payment of such notes, he said. He pointed out that the City of Abilene is willing to take up the paving notes on 25 per cent of the front footage on voluntary jobs.

The city allows property owners from 12 1 to 36 months to pay off the notes, other hand, is vague. Whose life? Thus Wife is the surer answer. 13. The amount that LEGS will support depends on their strength. The amunt Pegs will support usually depends not on the strength of the Pegs themselves.

But on the firmness with which the Pegs are fixed, 16. A CRUISER can actually take them. It is the liners. etc, used for Cruises that actually take "the people. 19.

The likelihood of NEW men feeling out of place is certainly 1 no greater "in a good team" than in a poor team. FEW men are likely to feel out of place in a good team, since a good team blends together so well. 25. ROBE is much better, bearin mind the meaning of the ing clue word "hamper" (obstruct, impede). The heaviness of the ROLE might handicap him, of course, but not exactly hamper him.

27. There will certainly be discomfort if many people crowd into a small CAR. Many people prefer a crowded BAR to one that is half empty. 28. Naturally he may well be SORRY that he doesn't know the answer.

There is no need for WORRY if he is not expected to answer every question as is SO often the case on modern examination papers, or is confident of passing anyway. CLUES DOWN: 1. The auditor might query certain facts, as represented, in the books. WAGES are such facts. The auditor would not be interested in PAGES as such, but only what was on them.

3. Being APED is a reasonable cause for irritation. It is mental and physical health that causes irritation, rather than AGE. 4. HIKE is clearly an excellent answer since it a long walk.

He might on his implies, BIKE for only a minute or two which could hardly be called splendid exercise. 5. GET is best. Since many animals are inclined to panic in face of fire, it is necessary to actually GET them out, rather than to merely open doors, hoping they will LET themselves out. 8.

MISERS are hardly the type of people to cheer anybody up. "Not at all likely" is an understatement for MISERY. Misery can't cheer you up in any circumstances. 10. A FIRE "may grow" (of its own volition so to speak), while a FIRM has to be expanded.

A Fire may grow surprisingly, but a Firm can only grow accoridng to planned intention. 20. Many a new WORK is "introduced" (given its first performance, etc.) A new WORD its the language from time to time, is hardly way into, "introduced." 21. PEAS is the surer answer. For him to be proud of his child 'the boy must have achieved some worthy thing other than just exhibiting.

He undoubtedly grew the Peas himself, which was an achievement. As for PETS, he or his father may have bought them. STORK NEWS Six births have been reported at Abilene hospitals. At Hendrick Memorial: A boy to Mr. and Mrs.
