LARGE CROWD ATTENDS
SW BELL OPEN HOUSE
Despite the cold rainy weather on Tuesday that no
doubt kept many from going through the new South*
western Bell Telephone Plant, an estimated more than
1300 people including every school student, were shown
through the modern plant that handles the rapidly in-
creasing number of telephone calls in and out of Burle-
son.
The tour included nut only through the plant, but
also into a large tent at the rear of the building, where
refreshments, consisting of punch or coffee and cake
were served everyone, by members of the Lions Club,
assisted by Mmes. Jack C. Taylor, R. L. Stovall, Jr., H.
N. Cleere, Gene Harris, Y. S. Morgan and Jas. P. Heberie.
The tent also housed such interesting pieces of
equipment as the voice record-
ing telephone, solar battery,

RAINFALL 10 INCHES
SHORT OF NORMAL
FOR THE YEAR
This community has just gone
through one of the driest fall
seasons that we have had for
many yean, and with our rain-
fall for the year 10 inches un-
der normal, the year 1960 will
be classed as a dry one unless
December brings some moisture.
During November we receiv-
ed only .49, bringing the total for
the year to 23.76 according to
Gus Bransom, official rain gaug-
er, who said the normal for a
year is 33.69
—.....- -O'
There was a young newspaper
reporter in a Nevada mining
town many years ago. He and
two friends staked out a claim
but each thought the other
would do the small amount of
work that had to be done with-
in 30 days to complete the title—
and so they lost the claim. The
new owners developed one of
the richest gold mines in Vir-
ginia City.
Anyone would say that for
a man to lose a million dol-
lars is certainly a misfortune—
but the newspaperman was I
Mark Twain. If in his twen-l
ties, he had, had riches dumped I
in his lap, he might not have I
had the incentive to write and I
so the world would have lost
“Tom Sawyer’’ and Huckle-
berry Finn.’*
Sometimes, what appears to
be a misfortune later proves
not to have been.
