Funeral services for George Capps,
45, one of the victims of two gas
pipe line workers who were instantly
killed late Wednesday of last week
when the Lone Star Gas Oo.’s huge
trunk line exploded beside the old
Petrolia road two mile.' east of
Wichita Falls, were held Friday at
5:00 p.m. in Petrolia. Capps and
the other victim. Orville O. Gee, also
of Petrolia, had gone to the spot
about 4:00 p.m. to repair a leak in
the line. Nobody at the scene fol-
lowing the tragedy actually saw the
explosion but officers said it was
apparent the men had started to
apply two large clamps on the pipe.
Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Capps of this
city and an uncle of Mr Capps, at-
tended the funeral services. Mrs.
Claud Wallace and Mrs. Floyd Paine,
cousins, also attended the services.
Capps is survived by his widow
and five children, the youngest 13
days old. He had been employed by
the Lone Star Gas Co. in Petrolia
since 1923.
Interst in the run-off election here
Saturday centered in the races for
Representative, Sheriff, and Justice
of the Peace for this precinct. In
the first primary around 5000 citi-
zens voted .while in the run-off the
total was approximately 4,000, the
one thousand decrease no doubt due
to the lack of a run-off in the
Governor’s race.
In the race for Representative,
Earl C- Fitts received 1970, and his
opponent, Paul Donald, was elected
with 2283 ,a majority of 313 votes.
Dick Lawrence, present Sheriff,
was re-elected by a majority of 161
votes, receiving 2241 to Bedford
Henley’s 2080.
D M. Painter was elected Justice
of the Peace over Henry M. Burns,
who now holds that office, the un-
official count giving Painter 524 and

On Tuesday evening at the beau-
tiful Municipal Park before a huge
crowd, Miss Melva Jo Gray-was
named “Miss Nocona” when a per-
' sonality and beauty pageant was
staged. About 39 lovely girls paraded
before large flood spots installed
through the courtesy of the Com-
munity Public Service Company.
Miss Leta Jo Perry was placed
second and Miss June Stone ranked
third. “Miss Nocona” will compete
at a state contest which will be held
later in Dallas. Judges for this con-
test were sent down from the Wich-
Falls Chamber of Commerce
^Brough the courtesy of Marvin
^Snlth of W. B. McClurkan Company.
Quoting from Mr. Boyd, assistant
manager of the Wichita Falls Cham-
ber of Commerce: “I attended the
West Texas Chamber of Commerce
parade of beauties and the contest
at Nocona displayed greater person-
ality and beauty than was seen there.
The Nocona young ladies were pre-
sented in a more professional man-
ner and with greater finesse.”
The near professional touch and
success of the production was due in
large measure to the success of Miss
Sue Allyn Stripling as a mistress of
ceremonies. She is a junior in the
department of drama at the Uni-
versity of Texas and the grace and
charm of her personality added to
| the occasion as she stood at the
center back of the stage and an-
nounced the sponsors and the con-
testants.
•nie young ladies all wore lovely
evening dresses and Miss Stripling
wore a silk jersey formal in the
shade of hot pink.
Another feature of the evening’s
entertainment was the Tiny Tot
Revue and the Junior Personality
parade. Judges of these contests
and for the amateur vaudeville show
came from Bowie.
Winners of the Tiny Tots were:
first for the girls. Darline Bowers,
2 years old; second. Marcia Rhea
Lemon. 4 years old; third. Theresa
Jane Reynolds, 3 years. For the
boys, three-year-old Ronnie Butler
won first and Roger Middleton, also
three years old. won second place,
^■uid Gerry Joiner won third.
