WANTS INTRODUCTION
s'Dear Miss Fairfax:

OC8G N4ASS = @AK4&AS
II have seen her on the street
almost every day for two years.
For the last year I've always
lifted my hat when we meet,
but I've never had the courage
to speak to her. She's q very
well-bred girl, and I'm sure
wouldn't stand for any picked
up" business.
"The only person I know who
is acquainted with her is q
man whom I particularly dis.
like. Must I know this girl
through his kindness? The
idea is repulsive to me.
HONEST JOHN"
I'm afraid you'll have to
agree with a certain philosopher
when he said, Evil, be thou
my good" and cultivate the
acquaintance of this man to
the extent Of securing an in
PRODUCTION to the young lady.

The night session was N continuation
Of the day session and was not sIL-
ed separately, the commissioners
said.
Carpenter had stated he had in
quired about coming back and that
Penny told him 70 return "at the
usual time" Carpenter stated that he
took this TO mean a o'clock FRIDAY
but was surprised to read in Fri
day mornings paper that a contract
had been entered into Thursday
night for purchase OF a dredge.
As a result OF Carpenters protest
over the action OF his fellow COM
mlSsioners. the Saturday night mass
meeting was held here. and Car
penter called upon to outline his
opposition to the purchase.
The Rio Hondo commissioner
stated that he was opposed TO the
letting of such contracts lin the
dead Of night and opposed to the
payment OF such "a large sum OF
money four months In advance OF
the delivery OF the dredge.
II do not think the choice made
was a wise one. Some may have an
idea why Ii was made. I have mine
Carpenter told the mass meeting.
Il am further opposed to the
letting OF such contracts without
advertising for bids as Is usually
done when such purchases are con-
templated," he said
Sees Extra Costs
Outlining the bids before the
commission. Carpenter stated that
tie SOL 500 price paid for the
credge did not include all OF the
necessary equipment and that the
district would be forced TO expend
from $4,000 TO $4,000 TO provide
equipment that would enable the
dredge to do the work intended for
it.
He claimed that another bid OF
Sol ia had been submitted. which
included complete equipment for
the work. Among the items men
toned which will have to be bought
were a pipeline. anchor barge and
crew boat. These items we're priced
nj $4,000 In the bid which was re-
jected, Carpenter said.
The rejected proposal also pro-
viced for n cash discount or one
aid one half per cent II an so per
cent payment was made with the
order. Carpenter claimed. which
would have saved the district ap-
proximately 81. 500 as against the
$500 cash discount for full payment
allowed by the successful bidder.
Several otherspeakers who adj
dressed the meeting backed the
views expressed BY Carpenter and
expressed the opinion that a mass
meeting should be held in Harlin-
sen. attended oy residents from ev-
err part Of the district. On motion
ID was decided to call such a meet
ing. and committees r TO be named

In the course of the discussion II
developed that the commission had
agreed TO the appointment Of a
citizens advisory committee %
confer with the commission on the
matter OF the purchase OF the
dredge. Carpenter had named Nav
or Byrl Hollon Of Rio Hondo. while
"A. L. Starnes. manager OF the Har-
lingen water district was named by
Chambers and John Burk BY Penny,
Carpenter said that his understand
inc was that the three thus named
were to name two additional men,

was not done.

Jackson of Emory & Henry Has

Being Hard to Beat,

EMORY, Va, September NV. S,
(Pedie) Jackson. coach Of the
Emory and Henry team that will
travel to Washington the night of
September n to help George Wash
ington open It's season, doesn't see
any path Of roses for himself this
season.
His team will be light, the opposi-
ton will be tough, and all he can hope
to do, Pedie confides mournfully, is
build I'D q defense that can hold each
rival to O couple Of touchdowns:
Jackson's rivals, who always have
found his teams hard to beat, are TAX
ing his pessimistic attitude with a
grain Of sat.
He comedies himself tn best ends
in the State in Stretch Props, Red
Fulk and Herb Miller; an exceptional
guard in Barker and two first-class
backs in Capt. Jack Young and Sam
Keys. Furthermore, he expects his
kickers to punt with the best Of them.
That's the bright side.
Here is the sad angle: Both Price
Dyer and Mark Kegley are hmping
about on legs that were operated on
last Spring and Pedie says he has
little hopes of being able to use them.
.As a result, he'll have only two vet
.eran backs in harness with q half
