Greets County
Despite the season’s first big in-
vasion of crickets and a north-
easterly breeze that brought cool
early-morning temperatures, Den-
ton County Sunday sweltered
through its 32nd consecutive day
of 100-plus temperatures. And more
of the same was expected today,
after Sunday’s high of 103.
Many folks reached for cover
early Sunday and again in the woe
hours this morning as the temper-
ature dipped into the 70s. Many
thought that it was the first hint
of fall weather.
But their optimism was short-
lived after the August sun began
climbing and by 1 p.m. temper-
atures again had reached the
century mark.

, Trapped By Flames,
| Dies In Sanger Fire
By MACK WILLIAMS
Record-Chronicle Staff Writer
g SANGER — Arthur Benson Cur-
■ ry, 50, a totally disabled World
& War II veteran, was burned to
,1 death here Sunday afternoon when
R fire believed caused by a cigaret
3 swept his two-story frame house.
Curry lived alone in the house,
9 at Main and Bolivar.
1 The flames spread so rapidly
9 that firemen who arrived at the
9 scene a few minutes after the
9 alarm was turned in at 12:15 p m.
9 could save nothing of the interior.
9 The contents of the home were
9 reduced to a mass of charred
I wreckage. The exterior was badly
■ damaged.
I Curry apparently was in bed
• when the fire started. His body
was found at the doorway of the
bedroom, where he fell lifeless
while trying to escape.
Alvin (Lacy) Brown, Sanger fire
chief, said Curry’s death was
Sanger’s ' first fire fatality in 40
I years.
I Brown and the firemen arrived
I at the burning house shortly after
I van alarm was turned in by Mrs.
I Lou Moore, a nurse at the Chap-
I man Clinic, next door.
I Curry’s body was found by Con-
I stable C. C. (Bill) Carter of
I Sanger and Deputy Sheriff Bud
Gentle.
I Nothing in the bouse escaped the
I flames. The heat melted windows
I and glass fixtures. Brown said it
K Sanger's history.
Curry served with the Seabees
ta the Pacific during World War
II and was discharged aa totally
disabled. Arthritis and a spine ail-
ment prevented him from work-
ing. He received a disability pen-
sion.
Before the war Curry was an
auto salesman in Wichita Falls.
Born in Lee Valley, Tenn., on
June 14, 1902, Curry was brought
to Denton County as an infant.
He lived in Sanger during his
youth and returned here after
Service with the Seabees.
Funeral services will be held at
2 p.m. Tuesday in the Sanger
Methodist Church with Rev. Don
S. Youngblood, pastor, in charge.
Burial will be in the Sanger Cem-
etery.

Waiting for the mail is one fea-

away from Denton for some time
you find that aa we do the Record-
Chronicle is one of the most wel-

It seems that each summer up
here is different from the preced-
ing one. Last summer was one of
the coldest we have ever enjoyed
up here while this summer seems
to be about the wettest. It has
rained two or throe times each
wook since our arrival and the
fruit crops were damaged. This
mortdhg there is a gale blowing
from the south and waves are roll-
ing high in the bay while the rain
falls. It is one of those fine days
to stay in the house. Yet, by after-
noon, the wind may have stopped
and the rain may have passed on.
The weather changes very fast in
this region.

There’s one item that we read
with regrets in the Traverse City
paper each day. That’s the weather
report from over the United States.
The item gives the temperature
reading of Fort Worth each day-

that Fort Worth’s temperature is
usually higher than that of Phoenix,

Republicans here for the state Re-
publican convention were elated
today try Governor Stevenson's
statement that he does not favor
state control of the tidelands.
The news that Steveneeon had
backed President Truman in the
issue, and that Governor Shivers
had declared he would not vote for
Stevenson as a result, put the
delegates in a gay mood as the
convention preliminaries got under
way at the Gunter Hotel.
“Shivera may go fishing on
Election Day but Texas voters will
go vote for the Republican candi-
date," predicted Kib Hundley of
Lake Dallas, a Denton County
alternate delegate.
Mrs. Christine Unger of Denton,
who has been nominated for state
committeewoman from the 22nd
Senatorial District, said:
’Shivers doesn't actually have to
vote for Ike. He’s done his part
for the general already.’’
Hundley also has been nominated
for the state committee, and he
and Mrs. Unger were picking up
support today among Palo Pinto
delegates and others from the dis-
trict.
The GOP executive committee
Will meet today and the convention
will be opened formally Tuesday.
A luncheon will be held at the
Gunter today In honor of Jack
Porter of Houston and Mrs. Thelma
Blaek of Dallas, new Texas mem-
bers of the GOP national commit-
tee.
Although Old Guard Republicans
led by Henry Zweifel of Fort
Worth plan to make a fight of it,
tM belief here te that Alvin Lane
of Dallas, an Eisenhower support-
' er, will be elected chairman of the
. - . . Mate executive committee.
