One-Half Inch
Precipitation Is
Recorded Sunday

cher, Official Government Re-

rain fell in Paducah Sunday af-

the moisture was about the same.
Some sections of the county re-
port stock water, is. running low.
Although the rain was not

it will be a boon to wheat.- The
moisture following on the heels
of the two small snows will put
the county in fair shape.

pedestrians were rather slack in
crossing the streets and many
“jay-walkers” were noticed, also
motorists were not stopping at
stop signs, or were they holding
out their hand when making a
turn, but before the day was end-
ed a great change had come over
the town as motorists and pedes-
txians after being fined a few
times by the youngsters were
obeying traffic rules diligently.
The writer of this article,
“none other than ye-old editor”,
was “stuck” three times for jay
walking.
Scouts taking part in patrolling
the town were: Pat Bennett,
Maurice Schaded, Freddie Bec-
ker, Jim Bob fRigham, Bill Har-
rison, Jimmie Blake, Jean Paul
Isbell, Don Criswell, Cecil Laws,
Bobby Stewart, Richard Ander-

GRANDDAUGHTER DALTONS
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Little Nancy June Dalton,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James
Dalton Jr., and grand-daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Dalton, had
a narrow escape this week. The
Daltons were enroute to Fort
Worth, in Mr. Dalton’s new Hud-
son, and Nancy June who was
standing between the front and
back seats near the door, acci-
dently released the latch, and had
it not been for the quick action
of Mrs. Dalton, Sr., Nancy June
would have met with serious ac-
cident. As the youngster toppled
from the car, Mrs. Dalton scream-
ed for her son to stop, and at
the same time grabbed the litle
lady, and as the car came to a
standstill Nancy rolled to the
pavement, but was only scratched
a bit.

County Veterans

Those persons desiring more in-
formation on the kind and type
of properly to be disposed of

Believe it or not, but V. L.
Hutchison, co-owner of Reid
Farm Supply became lost over
at Guthrie a few weeks ago. It
seems V. L., better known as
“Oochum” to Paducans, drove
out of a filling station down at
Guthrie and swung west on the
Dickens highway. He was cruis-
ing along thinking he was head-
ed for Paducah until he noticed
a sign and highway marker be-
fore realizing he was on the
wrong road. Old “Oochum” had
to turn around and drive ap-
proximately three miles back in-
to Guthrie befox’e coming on to
Paducah. Now we have heard
a lot of tall stories, but never
have we heard of anyone be-
coming lost over at Babe Graves
town. Suppose we are going to
have to get Judge Ross K. Wide-
man or Sheriff George Hump-
hrey down Guthrie way to put
out Istreet markers or direct
traffic so our friend “Oochum”
will be able to come through
Guthi’ie without getting lost or
on the wrong road. Now it was
only recently Mr. Hutchison re-
ported he had a hand in' shooting
a panther near Paducah and
then repoi’ting he became lost
down Guthi’ie way—by the way
“Oochum” did you say that was.

Oh yes, We almost overlooked
one very important committee,
and that is the “Shovel Com-

than that man about town, that
man of wisdom, that man of
foresight, that man of “hind-
sight”, that jovial, genial, wise-
cracking and powerful, Paducah
“poisinality” none other than
iBob Wood. Instead of starting
at the bottom and working up,
Bob stai’ted at the top and work-
ed down to the end—“No other
Chevrolet Dealer Can Make That
Statement.” Now knowing Bob
as we do—We know he will
