Andrews, Tex., Airer Named Mustang<br />
As Tribute to High School Team<br />
LUBBOCK, TEX.—The cu.slomor i.s al\v;(.v.s<br />
May Change Parking Rule<br />
DAVENPORT, IOWA- The city council is<br />
considering a plan to relieve the parking sit-<br />
lik'ht in.sofar a.s the Wallace Blaiikeivship<br />
circuit of northwe.st Texas theatres i.s concerned,<br />
and a recent experience in the nearby<br />
town of Andrews proved it.<br />
The test developed<br />
uation here by allowing parking in<br />
over a new Blankenship<br />
drive-in<br />
city theatres during morning hours.<br />
.scheduled for opening next<br />
front ol<br />
week in the center of the oil-boominp Andrews<br />
area southwest of Lubbock. With two<br />
other drive-ins in operation and several others<br />
scheduled for construction. Blankenship Your Best Buy . . .<br />
had planned to name all of them for famous<br />
ranches of the area. One at Levelland is<br />
named the Spade. One opened at Tahoka<br />
Griggs 30-Line Chair!<br />
last week called the T-Bar.<br />
A ranch name therefore was planned for<br />
the Andrews ozoner. But someone suggested<br />
that Mustang would be more appropriate and<br />
a tribute to the Andrews High school Mustangs.<br />
"Let's put it to a vote." suggested Manager<br />
A. J. Burleson. So the vote was taken,<br />
and Mustang won by a landslide.<br />
The inaugural of the T-Bar at Tahoka attracted<br />
a iiear-capacity attendance despite<br />
several days of inclement weather which retarded<br />
the final stages of work. The ramps<br />
still were a little soft on opening night, but<br />
this has been corrected. "The Red Pony<br />
was the opening feature. L. P. Flood manages<br />
the T-Bar as well as the three other<br />
Blankenship theatres in Tahoka, the Ro.se,<br />
Wallace and Lynn.<br />
The personnel of the 23-theatre circuit<br />
also was cheered by good news from the<br />
Lubbock home office concerning Mr. and<br />
Mrs. Blankenship. Mrs. Blankenship has<br />
been ill and Blankenship has been taking a<br />
several weeks' rest because of blood pres.sure.<br />
Mrs. Blankenship was able to leave her<br />
