County Hard Hit by Pasture Fires
TWELVE PAqaSf~ VOL. $ti NO. 7.
500 Acres Burn
Near Rocky Point
Community Friday
Fire destroyed more than ftOO
acres of pastureland in the Rocky
Point community late Friday af-
ternoon.
This is the third serious grass
fire in lees than two weeks and
farmers near here, noting that
Hieo and Dublin both have rural
fire trucks, are urgently appeal-
ing to those interested to 1ielp
them acquire one.
The fire was reported by Mart
Gaaslin about 3 p. m. and eity
firemen, E. W. Ferguson, Marvin
Ratliff, E. L. Stephens and J. E.
Lookinbitl, Jr., joiaed a group of
about 12 ranchers and farmers
who fought the blase for almost
three hours.

Barnes, Rothe, Madeley, and Brad-
ley places.
It was reparted that, whea the
fire began, wind was from the
northeast te southwest. About
aa hour latsr the wind changed
to the north and, consequently, be-
gan burning back into the charred
area.
N. 8. Johnston, though his prop-
erty was not involved, aided the
volunteer firemen with his Jaap
aad trailer loaded with water-filled
milk cans and a 60-gsllon drum.
They wrapped fence posts with
wetted sacks to prevent burning.
This is a specific example of
how farmers are handing together
te protect their land, aeeordtag to
those interested la securing a spe-
cial firs truck far this purpose.
gTEPHENVILLE needs — bad-
ly— at least five good, mod-
em sign boards placed at stra
tegic points leading into the city.
Roughly our gueos is that the cost
will approximate around $3ft0.00
each. But they will be well worth
all the’ money that is put into
them. During the coming months
of this year, end perhaps next,
there is going to be considerable
traveling on the part of the pub-
lie. Them signs wRl cause many i ur
of thefts to stop at osn* UMM*;
restaurants, tourists courts, fill-
ing stations and all other places
ef business. And when tourists
stop they spend money. If the
Chamber of Commerce has an ad-
vertising committee this is some-
thing they should consider at the
earliest time.

WE ARE all worried, of codrae,
about the continued dry
weather. However, a check on
weather charts at the Farmers-
First National Bank where rec-
ords of reinfali are maintained,
shows that we rarely ever have
much moisture during the months
of January and February. • The
rains usually start in March and
April. Dave Poe who farmed in
all sorts of weather for so many
years claims there is still plenty
of time for planting most of ths
crops. livestock men are not com-
plaining so touch and say that
cattle are in good shape. Thank
heavens the market for livestock
remains steady — and high. Too

hi—If.
may be held within available rev-
enues. Many efforts are being
made for more equitable taxes and
"for plugging loopholes in present
tax laws, rather than providing
for added sources of new taxes.
Two years ago 16 million dollars
annually wore provided for rural
rosds and an effort will likely be
made to cut this amount. Those of
us Who ware for this special rural
comb appropriation will of course,
try to retain it but we also are
considering an alternative that
would not provide as much money
at this time but would likely in-
sure a permanent and incerasing
amount for rural roads. .
This alternative would be to take
the part of the one-cent gasoline
tax not used to pay off bonds as-
sumed by the state, and place It
In a rural road fund. ~~—J
This bond assumption fund gstw
ons - cent of the gasoline tax,
amounting to some 22 million dol-
lars and is used to pay off bonds
assumed by the state for counties
that owed bonds voted locally to
build roads that later became state
About eight million dollars an-
nually are required to retire these
bonds and the balance of one cent
tax revenue amounting te some 14
million dollars is divided equally
between the counties and Highway
Department and used by the de-
partment for farm-to-market roads
in. conjunction with the present
annual 16 million dollar rural road
fund.
The one-half thft goes to the
counties is used by the commis-
sioners for lateral road w&k and
andin 1960 amounted to 336,095 for
Erath and 114,846 for Hood Coun-
ty. This is known as the Lateral
Rood Fund Distribution.
' The bond assumption funds
would gradually decrease while the
amount for farm-market roads
woud increase proportionately. The
.big question, of course, is whether
the local counties prefer to receive
their half for lateral roads or get
equal amounts aa now distributed
by the Highway Department for
roads.
One who iq on the ground here
has to be soman hat of sin optimist
to sssnme that this 16 million will
continue to be appropriated for
roads in view of the increasing
population of our urban areas,
even though he believes it should
be dons and make, sVery effort

High School, Lancaster latqr at-
___i ,
tended Tarleton State College. He
received his pilot’s wings and com-
mission as a second lieutenant at

er Group.

Following the cessation of hos-
tilities he atended the Air Force
