coach Bell because
his baseball team is
trying to get a game

could be a big key to
the door to the dis-

Kerens City Council.
Jimmy Keele and W, G,
Holleman were present
for the May meeting
of the Kerens City
Council Tuesday
night.
Following the read-
ing of the minutes
and the payment of
bills, the Council
opened one bid for
the purchase of a
new police car. The

that since the Navar-
ro County Fire Fight-
ers Association has
received funding from
the Drane Foundation
and will be convert-

radios, the city will
have its own low band
frequency. This nec-

to be in contact
with all their em-
ployees and the pol-
ice personnel. The
Council approved this
purchase.
The Council adopted
the proposed 1981-82
budget; they heard
reports on the

proved the purchase
of a truck to be used
for trash pick-up
from-T-Bone Stovall.

as they ever have
with regard to the
application and
that some reply might
should be forthcoming
this week or early
next week.

bara Spencer reported
that both Jimmy
Keele and the city's
engineer, Dick

under normal circum-
stances, the City
will still have a
serious problem this
summer.
With no further bus-
iness on the agenda,
the Council adjourne<
until next month.

don McFarland, Ray
Commiato, David West
and Scott Kelley pre-
sented their inter-
pretation of "The
Rainmaker" by N.
Richard Nash. Direct-
ed by Mrs. Helen
Kenner and produced
by special arrange-
ment with Samuel
French, the one-act
play was enthusiast-
ically received by
a large crowd of
hometown fans.
Following the pre-
sentation, Mrs. Ken
ner introduced the
cast and the crew
which consits of
Jeffery Saunder,
Angela Harrison,
Leslie Lewis, Elois,
Lopez, Treraa Upchun
and Brent Byrd.
On behalf of the
