of cold weather which lightened re-

Considering the weather, volume was
greater than expected.
Among largest consignors was
Fred Kennedy of Graham, who sold
35 head of cattle, including one lot

With the announcement in Aus-
tin by Wendell Mayes,. chairman of
the State Park Board, that deeds
had been received for 3,300 aeves
for a great State Park on Posswm
Kingdom Lake, Graham approaches
the center of the spot-light as *
great recreational center in rnnwsr
tion with the big lake project.
Securing of this State Park has
been a special object of Graham
civic leaders for more than a year,
and the idea was originated and
started here.
The securing of this park Bear
Graham resulted largely through
important services and work of A.
A. Morrison, member of the land
committee of the Brazos River Re-
clamation and Conservation Board,
and important work of Glenn Bur-
gess. who was well acquainted with
State and National Park officials,
and experience he had in putting
over the Gonzales park project.
| The Chamber of Commerce offi-
cials approached the members sf
the State Park Board close to a
year ago on the matter, presenting
them with a book of facta and in-
teresting pictures of the propsaad
park area and said the park offi-
cials on the idea. The State Park
Board then asked the Chamber of
Commerce officials to got a meet-
ing of-the Land Ce-.imittee, of which
A. A. Morrison is a member. The
States and National Park official*
came to Graham and were taken by
Mr. Morrison for a trip of inspec-
tion over the proposed park ares,
