Frank Gillespie of Roaring Springs
arrived Thursday morning to com-
plete purchase of the Palace Theater
property now in receivership in
Judge R. C. Vaughan’s 15th District
Court, The Sun was informed at 11:30
o’clock today by Robert Doss, re-
ceiver. Doss said the report of sale
would be filed in the 15th ^District
Court this afternoon, and for all prac-
tical purpose the sale could be con-
sidered final. Mr. Gillespie bid $15,-
000 for the theater some weeks ago.
Last obstacle to the' sale of the
property was cleared this week when
the federal government became a
party to the receivership. It was nec-
essary to join the government before
sale in order to protect the new pur-
chaser against a tax lien.
Mrs. Gillespie accompanied her
husband, and is interested in finding
a house for the family to move into
after the close of school at Roaring
Springs.
Completion of the sale this week
would not mean the immediate open-
ing of the theater, Doss said. The
Gillespies have said they plan to
make a number of improvements on
the property, both the building and
equipment, before opening. They
plan to equip the theater for the pre-
sentation of three-dimension pic-
tures.
Mr. Gillespie has been in the thea-
ter business at Roaring Springs until
he recently sold his business.
The theater was operated by the
receiver for three weeks after his ap-
pointment by the court, then was or-
dered closed by the court pending
sale.
MRS. T. L. HOPKINS
Funeral services for Mrs. T. L.
Hopkins, 73, who died in a Sherman

1879, in Kentucky, and had lived in
the Pilot Grove community for a
number of years. She was a member
of the Pilot Grove Baptist Church.
Surviving are her husband; two

American Legion
Picnic May 26
The American Legion Picnic will
be held* in Whitewright May 26
through May 30, it was announced,
this week by Wilson Kaiser, com-
mander of Everheart-Thornhill Post.
This is about six weeks earlier than
the picnic has been held in the past,
usually the second week in July.
Reason for the early date this year,
Mr. Kaiser said, is the last week in
May is the only time a carnival could
be obtained.
American Midway Shows will pro-
vide the carnival attractions for the
picnic, the same aggregation that
played the picnic last year and which
proved to be the best carnivals the
picnic has had in several seasons.
At a meeting of the Post last night,
plans for the picnic were discussed
and committees were appointed.
The Post plans to have the Perrin
Air Force Band as a feature attrac-
tion for Friday night of the picnic.
Thursday night will be Sherman-
Denison night. Opening night, Tues-
day, will be designated as Negro
night. Saturday night will be fun
night, and Wednesday night has had
no special designation.
Advance agent for the carnival
company said he planned to run a
school children’s matinee on Friday
I afternoon, with, all rides being 5
cents.- This is the closing day of
school, and the children will have the
afternoon free.
Carrollton. He is survived by his
wife, one daughter, four sisters and
two brothers, including A. R. Mc-
Murry of Whitewright.
Mrs. A. R. McMurry, accompanied
by her daughter, Mrs. J. H. Perkins
of McKinney, attended the funeral.
Technicians of the Soil Conserva-
tion Service of Van Alstyne conduct-
ed a meeting on pasture development
and management in the Deset school-
house Monday night. Considerable
interest was expressed by those at-
tending. Other meetings of this type
'will be held in other communities
within the Collin County District
soon. Plan now to attend the one
nearest you.
J. T. Stephenson recently cultivated
the Bermuda waterways sodded this
spring on Mrs. B. L. Sollis’ farm east
of Howe. Cultivation of Bermuda
.keeps down competing vegetation and
encourages the growth and spread of
the grass. Waterways that cannot be
cultivated should be mowed regularly
tokeep down weeds and Johnson
’ .grass. Waterways decrease soil loss
only after they have a good cover of
grass. Take care of that waterway
so it can take care of your land.
The long-awaited improved high-
way from Whitewright to Ely was
completed last week by R. W. Mc-
Kinney Construction Company and
accepted by the Texas Highway De-
partment. Known as Farm-to-Mar-
ket Highway No. 898, it connects at
Ely with a highway improvement
project completed earlier that runs
from Ely to Ector and connects with
Highway 82 to Bonham.
The people of the Ely community
and of Whitewright had been trying
for years to get this road built, for the
old road had deteriorated to the point
that it sometimes became impassible
in bad weather. For one reason or
another the project was ignored from
time to time by the Highway Depart-
ment, until finally W. C. Cummings,
then president of the Whitewright
Chamber of Commerce, went direct
to the Highway Department at Aus-
tin and succeeded in obtaining state
designation of the Whitewright-Ely
project.
The Whitewright-Ely road is 4.2
miles and runs from the Grayson-
Fannin County line at Oak Hill Cem-
etery to Ely.
Other projects completed and ac-
cepted at the same time were F. M.
1752 from Savoy south 2.5 miles, F.
M. 1752 from Savoy north 3.4 miles,
and F. M. 1753 from Ravenna west
2.8 miles, all done by R. W. McKin-
ney Construction Company.
The four projects were combined

Released by Collin Soil Conservation
District Supervisors
John Trammel of Tom Bean and
Glenn Frazier of the Desert commu-
nity, cooperators with the Collin
County Soil Conservation District,
have recently made trial plantings of
Buffelgrass. Buffel is a pereftnial,
high in protein, palatable and attrac-
tive to livestock as hay and green
forage. It has done extremely well
in South and East Texas. 1950 plant-
ings at San Antonio were completely
killed by low degree temperatures in
'February 1951, but other planting in
1946 survived zero degree weather in
February 1949.
J. P. Williams of the Pilot Grove
community recently sodded several
acres of Coastal Bermuda and com-
mon Bermuda side by side on similar
land. These plots located on the
highway between Cannon and Bethel
will give farmers in this area an op-
portunity to compare these
.grasses.
PILOT POINT.—High school stu-
dents in this little Denton County
town went back to class Friday after-
a brief walkout over release of the
superintendent of schools.
The school board had decided not
to renew the contract of H. W. Key,
superintendent of schools for about
twelve years. A petition bearing
about 150 names was presented to the
board, asking it to retain Key as
high school coach, a job that is open.
The board voted not to do so.
A group of students left school
Thursday and marched around the
town square. They chanted: “We
want a new school board; we want
a fair school board,” and “Mr. Key,
________ we love you, we’ll stick to you tight;
neral services were held Tuesday at oh, you school board, you’ll have to
fight, fight, fight.”
Estimates of the size of the stu-
dent crowd ranged from 30 to more
than 100. Pilot Point has about 200
high school students.
The demonstration broke up within
a few minutes.
The school board elected former
County School Supt. Charles Silk to
succeed Key.
(Mr. Key is a former Whitewright
School superintendent.)
WASHINGTON.—One out of every
22 persons in the nation is employed
by the government—federal, state or
local — the Census Bureau reported
Monday.
As of last October, when the report
was compiled, there were 7,105,000
persons on the public payroll. Of
this total, 2,400,836 were employed by
the federal government, 1,103,441 by
states and 3,418,263 by local govern-
ments.
SCHOOL BANS CANDY
AS HEALTH HAZARD
CANNELTON, Ind. — Teeth'that
touch' sugar shall do so no more at
Cannelton High School.
On recommendation of Dr. H. C.
Steinsberger, a dentist and a mem-
ber of the Cannelton school board,
the board has ordered candy vending
machines removed from the school.
Dr. Steinsberger cited sugar as the
cause of much toothe decay and said,
“I think it’s a farce to teach health
and then allow candy to be sold in
school.”
Forrest Rogers reports a good
stand of Bienniel White Sweet Clov-
er on 90 acres of Class VI and VII
land on his farm southeast of Van
.Alstyne. This clover was planted to
improve the soil before establishing
a bast pasture grass—an excellent ex-
ample of using land within its capa-
bilities and treating it according to its
needs.
WASHINGTON. — Texas won its
long uphill fight Wednesday to regain
its tidelands.
Only President Eisenhower’s signa-
ture was needed to complete legisla-
tion restoring to the states their sub-
merged coastal area.
The Senate bill, approved b"y the
House by a vote of 278 to 116, should
reach the President’s desk Thursday.
Mr. Eisenhower is pledged to ap-
prove the measure. He took a stand
for returning the submerged lands
within historic boundaries of the
states during the 1952 campaign and
has since reaffirmed his position.
Another bill setting up machinery
for federal leasing in the outer shelf
beyond state seaward limits also was
approved by the House Wednesday
and sent to the Senate.
Less than four hours were needed
to speed both bills through the House.
The outer shelf measure was adopted
by a vote of 309 to 91.
Rep. Emanuel Celler (Dem.) of
New York spearheaded the futile
fight against the bill for federal con-
trol of the area lying beyond state
seaward boundaries. Celler also op-
posed the restoration bill.
“I’m not going to help pay the debt
the Republican party and President
Eisenhower owes to Governor Shiv-
ers of Texas,” shouted Celler in a
reference to Shivers leading the Tex-
as revolt against the Democratic na-
tional ticket that carried the state for
Eisenhower.
Rep. J. Frank Wilson told Celler
WACO.—The roster of the dead in
tornado-torn Waco passed the 100
mark Wednesday night as wet, cold
rescue workers battled through the
third miserable night.
The dread figure of 100 deaths,
confirming the worst fears, was
reached at 9 p. m., state highway pa-
trol officials reported. Nor was the
encl in sight for the Brazos' River
stronghold, which was stunned by a
sudden, slashing tornado at 4:40 p. m.
Monday.
All day Wednesday and through
the night cold rain plagued the work-
ers. It was perfect pneumonia weath-
er, but nobody had time to think of
that.
Smoothly functioning shifts of
workers had removed almost all of
the R. T. Dennis Company and the
Tom Padgitt buildings by dark
Wednesday. Most of the dead found
during the day Wednesday were em-
ployees of lhe Dennis Company, in-
cluding the manager, Edward Berry,
and his father, Rush Berry.
Bodies still were being unearthed
from adjoining buildings, however,
and ten persons, most of them Ne-
groes, were found in ruins bordering
Waco’s City Hall Square beside the
Brazos River Tuesday night.
It was feared that the basements
of the Dennis Building and others
held more bodies.
them.
It takes a lot of things—in just the
right combination—to make a first-
class twister, the experts said. And
the recent big winds have had them
all.
First of all, there has been a mass
of cool, dry air in the upper atmos-
phere opposing a' warm, moist air
concentration near the earth’s sur-
face. This makes for considerable in-
stability.
This condition usually develops in
the spring when the ground begins to
heat up while winter still lingers in
the upper atmosphere. Consequently,
the wearthmen said, tornadoes gener-
ally strike first in the south and grad-
ually move north.
Besides the opposing cool and
warm air masses, there have been
fairly strong winds high up and light
breezes along the ground — mostly
from the south. Again, this makes
for tornadoes.
With twisters, the experts said,
there also are violent thunderstorms
which contribute to the general in-
stability of the weather.
“But to be perfectly frank,” said
one weather bureau official, “we’ve
still got a lot to learn. We know a lot
of factors that usually are present
when tornadoes occur but we still
can’t be too precise about exact
Phone or send in your news items.1 causes.”
Right now while the weather is too
bad for more pleasant things is a
good time for sending in renewal sub-
scriptions to The Sun. This little
task will not only serve to brighten
the day for the publisher, but will
brighten many days for the sub-
scriber—we hope.

(Editor’s note: Don Hansard,
grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Elbert
Hansard of Whitewright, was one
of a group of young persons trap-
ped in the Torrance Recreation
Hall in Waco when the tornado
caved it in. Here he tells the story
of his entrapment and the rescue.)
By DON HANSARD
As Told to The Houston Press
WACO.—I just seemed sure that
my pal was dead. When the lights
went out and the ceiling fell in, and
everyone started screaming and hol-
lering, he didn’t say a word.
He was Kay Sharbutt. He was 18.
I lay there seven hours with my
right ankle across his arm. I wasn’t
knocked out.
We had dropped into the Torrance
Hall after school. I’m a senior at La
Vega High School. Yes, I played
football—tackle—and won my letter
at school. I’m 17 and weigh 210
pounds.
The hall wasn’t crowded—about 25
people there, I guess. We were shoot-
ing a game of pool when the lights
flickered. We heard the wind and.
the hail and it was raining cats and
dogs.
Then the place went black and the
roof fell in.
For a moment there wasn’t a sound,
and then everybody who could holler,
j yelled at once. I remember hearing
a man yelling, “Joe, Joe,” and then
his voice sort of died out.
I could move my arms so I took a
stick and began banging away on a
beam over my head.
It seemed a long time before the
rescue people started working on the
wreckage over my head. But they
heard me hammering away and that’s
how they knew I was down there. I
could hear them cutting and chopping
and after a while they cut a hole in
the timber above me.
I remember that I was praying that
they would get to me soon. We all
were praying down there in that
dark.
I I looked up and there was my dad
(Aubrey Hansard) looking at me. He
looked down and said, “Are you OK
son?”
I knew my hip had been thrown
out of joint. I could feel the pain.
Pretty soon they got the beams off
me, and lifted me out. When they
lifted me out I came closest to pass-
ing out.
That’s about all I remember until
they took me to the hospital. Except
one thing. I don’t think that “Rab-
bitt” got out alive.
He’s the little Negro man who has
been racking balls in the pool hall for
years and years. He knows just
about everybody.
WASHINGTON.—Weather Bureau
officials said today that colliding
warm and cool air masses are mostly
to blame for the tornadoes which
have ripped up parts of Texas, the
South and Midwest.
These are just plain old “garden
variety” twisters that come along
every spring, they said. There ap-
parently is nothing unusual al?out
Rainfall in Whitewright, as re-
corded on the official gauge at the
City Water Plant, was 2.10 inches
from Sunday through Wednesday. It
rained .02 of an inch on May 4 to
bring the May total to 2.12 inches.
It rained .98 of an inch Sunday, .75
of an inch Monday, .33 of an inch
Tuesday, and .04 of an inch Wednes-
day.
Total precipitation for 1953 up to
this morning is 15.66 inches, com-
pared to 12.88 inches for the same
period last year.
Water-soaked farm fields brought a
new crisis to the Whitewright area
blacklands. Cotton planting has been
spasmodic this spring, with some of
it having already been replanted and
due to be planted for the third time.
Cotton up to a stand can withstand
the kind of weather that has been
prevalent here for the last month, but
cotton seed in the ground give up the
ghost and die.
This area has a good grain crop due
to ripen in about three weeks, and
continuation of the cold, wet weather
could damage it seriously. The onion
crop also needs diy, hot weather.
The unseasonably cold weather has
caused householders to take their
blankets out of storage and put up
space heaters that had been taken
down “back in the summer,” as Lew-
is Cooper expressed it. This Thurs-
day morning, with an early-morning
low of 47 anji a mid-morning tem-
perature a little above 50 degrees, is
a typical early November fall day, a
wet fall day, that is.
