MORAN NEWS...
My Column
MRS. C. C. CADY
Much sickness is abroad in our
little city, the school was hit the
hardest with teachers and pupils
out last week. We are happy to
state the condition of I. E. Dur-
ham, who has been confined to his
bed for several weeks, shows im-
provement. He is able to take
nourishment much better and was
made happy by his relatives visit-
ing him from San Angelo and
other points last Sunday. His
sister-in-law, Mrs. D. I. Durham
and son, J. R. Durham of San
Angelo, Mr. and Mrs. George
Shockley of Hamilton, Texas, also
Sull Durham and Tul Durham and
son, the latter two cousins that he
had not seen in 41 years.

Word has been received from
Grandma Sargent, a patient in
Graham hospital for two weeks,
that the fracture has been set and
she is doing marvelously well, bet-
ter than her physician had ex-
pected at her 81 years.
* * * »
Dick Sargent, Moran night-
watchman, is confined at his home
with a cold and Jim Terry has
been acting in his place.
*t" '!•
On account of inclement weath-
er last Friday the picture show

a large crowd at the high school
gym. On March 14 The Prisoner
of Zenda will be presented, with
Ronald Coleman, Douglas Fair-
banks Jr., Madeline Carroll, March
28 grade school program will be

and new faces
Moran; we now
the two families
Oil companies
keep coming to
have homes for
that want to live here while work-
ing on the Humble storage tanks
and pipeline north of Moran. We
were pleased to have *E. H. Muller
of Houston coming to Luncheon
club. He is a relative of Oscar
Pariish and will make his head-
quarters here while on pipeline
business. Moran will come into
her own by the new deep sands ex-
plored around us. Take heart dear
reader, sometime in some place
in the next few years we will see a
break in our little city.
ATTENDS FUNERAL AT
CROSS PLAINS
Attending the funeral last week
of Joe Sharrock at Cross Plains
were Mmes. Rass Brooks, Ella
Royal, Lucy Robinson, Lucy Bur-
ton and Guin, Mr. and Mrs. Walter
Brooks, Mr. and Mrs. Zack Brooks
of Macon, Miss., visiting in Moran,
also attended the funeral.
NOTICE OF CHANGE IN BANK \
SERVICE CHARGE |
Effective March 1st, 1947 our bank
service charge will make the following
change:
1
\
i
1. A flat 50c service charge per month on all active
checking accounts.
2. A 50c charge on each account with an overdraft
balance and an additional 50c on the account
each time the overdraft balance changes.
For several years our bank service charge has been
much lower than that »f other banks, and we have
tried to avoid a change in our low rate. However, the
increase in cost of stationery and printing has forced
us to raise our charge, and we trust that our custom-
ers will keep this fact in mind and understand our po-
sition in the matter.
Thank you,
The Moran National
Bank
RED CROSS DRIVE
STARTS

starts this week. Shackelford

loss in times of disaster is as great
as ever, and the need must be met
by annual roll call drives.
Moran business district has sub-
scribed a fair sum to our amount.

their contributions to the Moran
National Bank or to co-chairman,

Baptists of Cisco
Association to
Hold Revivals
Simultaneous revivals will be
held in the 38 Baptists churches of
the Cisco Baptist Association be-
ginning March 23 and going
through March 30. These revivals
are being held in cooperation with
the other Baptist churches of Tex-
as. At different times during the
year the other 117 associations in
Texas will have simultaneous re-
vivals. Many are now in progress
throughout the State. The 38
churches are located in Stephens,
Shackelford and Eastland coun-
ties, extending from Caddo to Al-
bany on the north and Rising Star
and Gorman on the south. The
slogan for these revivals is "Christ
Is the Answer."
These Missionary Baptist
churches will emphasize the truth
of the Bible -for practical daily
living and the only hope of the
world is to come to Christ for sal-
vation. Rallies preceding the re-
vivals .will be held in the First
Baptist church of Cisco. The
Men's Brotherhood of Cisco Asso-
ciation will sponsor a • rally the
night of March 13th, and all men
of cooperating churches are urged
to attend. The Women's rally will
be held the 20th of March and all
women are urged to attend. The
Youth rally will be held on Satur-
day night, March 22, the night be-
lore the revivals are to begin.
The simultaneous revivals will
be under the general direction of
the Rev. J. R. Hickerson, district
missionary of District 16. Chair-
man,of the steering committee is
the Rev. D. C. Ham of Ranger.
The Rev. H. D. Blair is the asso-
cietional missionary.
Much preparation is being made
to make these revivals potent fac-
tors in the life of each community.
Not only are the members of the
various participating churches
urged to give of their time to
make these meetings effective but
the general public is urged to at-
tend one of the meetings because
there will be one in your communi-
ty. It is the hope and prayer of
the members of the churches to-
gether with their pastors, that a
great impact can be made on the
life of this section.
SCHOOL NOTES
Would like to remind our pa-
trons to keep the school census in
mind. Please get each scholastic
enumerated this month.
Our boys and girls are watching
the weather so that we might play
Putnam in a series of ball games
and thereby qualify to go on to
Baird and play Friday and Satur-
day in a larger meet. Teams from
all over our district will meet at
Baird this week-end.
The prevalence of flu in our
school is letting up to a great ex-
tent. Friday of last week we had
48% out but Monday only 20%
were out and Tuesday we had 12%
out.
The school is helping in the Red
Cross drive. You may send a do-
nation by some school child.
Our picture show crowd is grad-
ually building up. Some good
shows are scheduled.
The annual staff has about
completed the year book and it
will go to the printer this week.
They have made an annual which
is worthy of praise.
