“Dependable Since 1888”
Mr. L. R. Wooley is reported
as doing nicely this week follow-
ing surgery over two weeks ago
in Allen Memorial Hospital, Bon-
ham. He was stricken Sunday
night, two weeks ago and after
intense suffering all night, was
taken by ambulance to Bonham
on Monday. An operation at once
gave immediate relief. Convales-
cence has required hospital care.
It is expected that he will be
released soon.

A QUESTION ANSWERED
Idlewild, a neighborhood name
for New York International Air-
port, in New York City, is the
“handsomest, high geared air
terminal in operation.” It is sev-
eral terminals, “each attuned to
getting people and freight on
and off airplanes as fast as pos-
sible.” An eleven story control
tower dominates the expanse of
modernistic and colorful build-
ings according to LIFE Maga-
zine, “The Dazzle of Idlewild” in
a recent edition.
Another source states that Chi-
cago is the busiest center, that
London, or perhaps Zurich, is the
best but Idlewild offers runways
two miles long to allow take-offs
with heavy fuel loads.
The above source may be out
dated now since the jet planes are
in use at all major air termin-
als—and requirements are met
for those.

THE SICK
Joe McKee is creeping, out
cautiously to town briefly this
wc^k, on good days, following
about foux- weeks of pretty bad
feeling for him. Quite a few days
were spent abed. He began to be
quite optimistic as March began ,
to come to a close. Older people
here, who follow Dr. Trentham’s
counsel, quote him: “Live through
March and you’ve got it made for
another year.”
March, the month, does seem
to be rough this yeax- on young
and old.
Children are sick with measles,
colds and flu. Several have a
combination of diseases.
