est Massey from Wichita Falls will
give the devotion. Price Strickland
will lead the old hymns wtih Doris
Ann Jones at the piano.
A few short talks will be given by
those who wish to express them-
selves.
Friends are invited to attend.
Rev. T. W. Sisterson, minister of
the First Christian Church, called
by to leave his regular weekly an-
nouncement of services. We appre-
ciate these calls. People like to see
what the program is. If no program
they would like to know. If any-
thing special they are anxious to
know that of course.
Bro. Sisterson is one of the ablest
and most popular ministers this
crurch has ever had—and they have
had some of the ablest in the de-
nomination.

In answer to frequent inquiries
concerning the cost of hospitaliza-
tion care in obstetrical cases, Mr.
Harry Payne, administrator, has an-
nounced that he has figured out a
flat rate which he believes will
answer most of the inquiries. For
one to three days’ care in a ward,
the complete charge is $32.50, or $45
for the same length of time in a
private room. For each day over
three days, the cost is $4.50 in the
ward or $9.00 in a private room.
These charges include use of the
delivery room, anesthesia, medica-
tion .and care of the baby, Mr. Payne
says. .

The personnel of the mill was the

cate machinery which is used in pro-
duction of the fabrics for which Mc-
Kinney has become famous.
Tuesday was proclaimed “Miller

Mills.

Lynn Reunion July 10
County Agent Jack McCullough _ _ ---
says Collin County is expected to - ,________
harvest ONE OF ITS BEST CORN in Western Collin
CROPS in years. Yields estimated
from 75 bushels per acre down have
been reported. Due to rains at the
proper time, and the lack of hot
winds so far, and the planting of hy-
brid seeds and the use of some fer-
tilizers, the 80,000 acres or more
planted to corn looks like it might
average around 40 bushels per acre,
Mr. McCullough says. This would
be 15 bushels more per acre than
our normal average of 25 bushels
per acre. With 80,000 acres averag-
ing 40 bushels per acre, Collin will
produce around 3,200,000 bushels of
corn, and will maintain its stand-
ing as the leading corn producing
county of Texas as far as yields per
acre is concerned.

COUNTY COURT 1
1 h. W. Neal, Judge,
G. W. Henderson, Clerk.
He told of the great financial
handicap under which the company
had worked in times past, and
paid tribute to Mr. R. L. Thornton,
treasurer of the company for his
fine work in handling the company
finances. Mr. Thornton, who is
president of the Mercantile Nation-
al Bank of Dallas, was present as an
honor guest. He was intrbduced by
Mr. Miller and made a short address
telling some of the financial history
of the mill.
Mr. Paul Carrington, well known
Dallas attorney, was presented. He
also told of the outstanding job ac-
complished, paying especial tribute
to Mr. Miller’s sons, Bryan,, Giles,
and Connell Miller, all of whom
are associated with the Mills in
very important capacities. Bryan
Miller is in charge of sales; Giles
Miller is in charge of labor relations,
and Connell Miller is in charge of
the financial end of the business.
Mr. Miller paid a fine tribute to
his three mill managers, one of (
whom is Frank W. Smith, in charge
of the local mill as vice president,
manager and director. Frank Smith
is a member of an old and prominent
McKinney family. He went to work
at the mill in 1922 and has risen
steadily to the topmost position. Re-
tiring and modest, he is one of the
most popular of McKinney busi-
ness men.
A former local man whom Mr.
Miller complimented was L. R.
(Bob) Gibson. Bob is the purchas-
ing agent, and as such has spent
millions of dollars of the company’s
money, making a remarkable record
in his work.
Three McKinney ousmess men, be-
sides Frank Smith, are directors in
the company. They are T. E. Craig,
A. M. Scott,, and F. D. Perkins.
Glowing tributes were paid these
men by Mr. Miller for their finan-
cial integrity and foresight.
The wives of the executives were
also present and were -introduced.

. In the Examiner last week, we
made reference to the death of Bob-
by Jewell. We had met him only a
few times. Qur reference was of a
local and personal nature. We are
pleased to publish the following
from the Ft. Worth Press at the re-
quest of his niece, Mrs. Steve Ad-
ams, of Van Alstyne:
The Ft. Worth Press says:
The curtain has rung down for the
last time on Capt. Robert H. (Bob-
bie) Jewell, one-time flying circus
owner, retired American Airlines
pilot and showman.
Captain Jewell, outstanding ma-
gician, gave his last performance at
11:30 p.m. Thursday night in an “il-
lusion show” he had with the Dan
Franklin Shows in Snyder.
An hour later he suffered a partial
stroke. Twelve hours later he died
in a Snyder hospital. He was 56.
Captain Jewell, of 3033 Haltom
Rd., had flown since 1919. He had
more than 23,000 hours in the air.
After World War I, he bought a
Jenny plane for $900, and organized
a flying circus, barnstorming all
over Texas.
He joined American Airlines in
1928, and flew coast-to-coast for
that airline until February of last
yeai’ when he retired.
While with the airlines he was
known as the “flying magician.”
When he wasn’t flying, he was put-
ting on magic shows. He invested
heavily in equipment.
The wife who survives him, the
former Miss Margaret Hand, now of
Bonham, once said:
“Bob will put on a magic show
for $10, then buy $50 worth of gad-
gets for it . . . What kind of arith-
metic is that?”
But the pilot argued it was a good
investment. And he made use of it.
When he retired from the airlines,
he built and produced a dramatic
show under a tent. The show went
on the road as Jewell & Harris
Shows, Inc.
He was a member of the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Magicians and
other national magician organiza-
tions. He and Mrs. Jewell were mar-
ried in the ’20s. They had lived in
Fort Worth the past five years, mov-
ing here after . calling.. Memphis
their home for many years. .
Fort Worth was headquarters
while the captain lived the life he
had dreamed of while flying—barn-
storming the country with his own
show.
He was a charter member of the
Airline Pilots Assn.
Besides his wife, he is survived by
a daughter, Anita Bob Jewell, 9,
and mother, Mrs. Alice L. Jewell,
both of Fort Worth.
