EQK5 1 AA 11 N, , ,,Y,.., ,,,.. -. .,,,-A! ot g r F27 Whg Cisco is the Best Town in Texas T is my pleasant privilege to present to you, not with vain boasting but with pardonable pride, the blessings, opportunities, and advantages that my city, Cisco, the friendly city, has above all others. I could give you statistics of my city's population, its unexcelled climate, its altitude, and its business opportunities, but statistics are cold facts, and ours is not a cold city. We are brimming over with good fellowship and brotherly love. Cisco is a friendly city. We concede that every town or location has its strong points, but we believe with all our hearts that Cisco is the best place in Texas. We are unselfish in our outlook toward other towns and communities. We are altruistic in our dealings with our sister cities. No town can be a selfish town and a good place to live in at the same time. As a means of promoting our friendliness, we have one paved street leading south to Rising Star, with good roads on to Brownwood and San Angelog another leading west through Baird to Abilene and other neighboring citiesg still another leading north to Breckenridge, and leading east we have one continuous pavement through Ranger, Strawn, Mncral Wells, and Weatherford to Fort Worth and Dallas. In addition to our paved streets we have rail connections in five different directions with 28 incoming and outgoing passenger trains daily, to help us with our progressive and friendly program. Yet within herself Cisco is complete as a desirable place in which to make a home. Her twelve churches, with leading ministers in their respective denominations, her un- excelled citizenship, and her wonderful public school system and junior college afford opportunities for our growing generations. We have one of the finest school systems in the state, with a student body enthusiastic in every activity. We excel in scholarship, as well as in athletics. We cannot all be Loboes and Queens, but we can learn good sportsmanship which is a prime requisite of good citizenship, and we can and do develop lung power on the side-lines. I am proud of my city. It is the city of the Big Dam, home of the fighting Loboesg Lobo Queensg High School Lobo Band, and the Big Dam Chamber of Commerce. Cisco-reflector of every human interestg furtherer of every righteous cause, encourager of every generous act, dispeller of vice, ignorance, and prejudiceg promoter of civic pride, civic welfare, civic unity, and civic rights, strengthener of loyalty, pillar and stay of democracyg nourisher of community life and community spiritg upbuilder of homes. I do not believe that one could find softer, bluer skies than those above my home town, nor hear sweeter music than the bird songs in our trees, and the voices of our children at play. Home, the sweetest name under Heaven, except mother, and the dearest place in the world, dearer than the plains of Sharon or the valleys of Arcadia, for mother is there and dad. Home-the builder of true and trustworthy manhood, of wholesome and radiant womanhood. For while the great cities like mighty rivers roll on, bearing their fleet of traffic and traffickers, this little Valclusa fountain will arrest the eye and cheer the hearty for our little Cisco city, nestling in its purple hills, is of Nature's own cunning work- manship, and often will the weary traveler turn aside to drink of its clear, pure water, to breathe its fresh, free, health-giving atmosphere, and find in its sunlit skies in- spiration and aspiration, as he dreams and hopes and works to make our city a bit better, a bit brighter, and more beautiful because of his having lived in it. Here's to my city, Cisco, the friendly city. -Carl Mount.
