Philbert. the brainy electronic mouse featured in the Telephone
Exhibit at the State Pair of Texas in Dallas this month, causes mock
alarm from two Southwestern Bell Telephono Company lovelies, Mrs.
Wilma Ogletreo and Mrs. Daisy Reilly. They really aren't afraid of
Philbert, for ho is only a piece of carved wood and metal, and they
have a great deal of respect for the educated rodent who can solve a
variety of complicated mazes to reach a piece of cheese and can
remember the way and retrace his steps through the winding passage.

Some 7,000 carloads of emer-
gency drouth feed have been dis-
tributed in Texas since the Eisen-
hower administration's relief pro-
gram was initiated, Claude K.
MeCan of Victoria, chairman of
the State Drouth Relief Commit-
tee. said Sunday night.
Speaking on the Republican
State Executive Committee's
weekly "Report to Texas" over
the Texas State Network, Mr. Me-
Can said he is convinced that the
purpose of the program as out-
lined by President Eisenhower
on a personal visit to Amarilio
July 10 are being carried out.
lip to last week, he reported,
there had been delivered in the
168 Texas counties within the
drouth disaster area 52,000 tons'
of cottonseed meal, 106,000 tons
of pellets. 56,000-plus tons of
corn. 51,000 tons of oats and 2,600
tons of wheat.
"Translated into carloads,
said the state chairman, "this is
an enormous amount of feed, as
you can easily visualize in the
number of railroad cars: Of meal.
1,500 cars; pellets, 3,000 cars;
corn, about 1,100 cars, and oats.
1,300 ears; or a grand total of
approximately 7,000 cars of
emergency drouth feed that was
distributed in the dry area of
Texas."
No counties have been remov-
ed from the program, he pointed
out, although 104 were tempo-
railry suspended from the list on
September 9. However, 38 of
these counties were restored to
the emergency list at a meeting
of the committee September 28
"The counties as they were or-
ignally put In," he said, "con-
sisting of 168, are still in the
program, but those that are not
in really critical condition are
not receiving feed at the present
time. But the state committee
can at any time when conditions
grow critical In any county of
these original counties that were
in the drouth area, resume ship-
ments to these counties.
"The whole purpose of this
program is not a cheap feed pro-
gram at all. It Is to relieve dis-
tress in drouth areas, and where
the feed is needed not 60 days
from now, not 30 days from
now, but today—and we feel that
this program is flexible enough
to where at any time counties
need feed and need it to use to-
day, not next month, that we are
l.i a position to get it to them in
short order."

Championship calf roping title

Baldy was first • owned by Ike
Rude, famous steer roper. He
was caught in a burning trailer
out in Arizona when he - was
about a three year old and the
accident might have proved the
last of many a' horse. But Baldy,
after several years, made a come-
back and it was then that''he
was ridden by five different men
for money in the Garden. Burk
bought him in the '30's and kept
him until he (Burk) was killed in
a rodeo arena accident.
Troy Fort purchased Ol' Baldy
from Mrs. Burk at a fancy price,
