iated schools The growing needs
of Ozona. however have rendered
the accomodations of the proaent
building inadequate, and a bond
issue is now before tthe citizens
calling for a new school building
to cost from $*0,000 to $100,000
Ozona has four churches, all of
which have an active membership.
The Ozona Methodist is the new-
est of these, and was completed at
and on December 31 and January
1. 1037. a Mid-Winter Rece Meet
and Rodeo was held, the firat e
vent of this kind ever to be held
at this time of the year in Weat
Texas.
Although the Crockett County
Fair Association held its fair for
the first time last year, the organ
ization is out of debt, and has dou
bled the capacities of the shoep
pens and exhibition facilities this
year. More than 15,000 admissions
were paid in to the fair last year.
A polo game between The West
Texas Utilities team and an army
team will be one of the evens of
the (air this season.
