Tha Texas State College for
Women to this week celebrating
the 50th anniversary of its found-
ing and th* Record-Chrpnicle's is-
sue today might be termed a
‘TSCW* Special, as it give* much
of the college affairs now and since
its start. Too. the ’Special’ will
giv* some interesting lights of
Denton a* it was when the College
waa located in Denton.
We predict for the college a
continuous, healthy growth, a* we
believe that Dr. John Guinn,
president, has a well-balanced
hand on the throttle. Our impres-
sion of John Guinn is that he is a
man full of ability and earnest-
ness and energy. Sometimes, we
feel that he to somewhat like a
great football coach. He knows
that he is not going to make the
forward pasaes, the dashing end
runs, the line plunges or even the
touchdown*. He realize* that his
team (the faculty) will do those
thing* in a way for the student
body, as instead of football plays
they will be taught the funda-
mental of education, citizenship,
integrity, sportsmanship and other
attributes of a well-rounded edu-
cation. Yea, we believe the future
of the college is bright under the
leadership of Dr. John Guinn.
9 a m. was four-tenths of an inch.
The rain, which started falling
between 1 and 3 a.m. today, was
the first general precipitation Den-
ton Cov.uiy ha* recorded in 1*5
days The last time the county
saw a general rain was on May
23.
However, the U.S. Weather Bu-
reau's forecast for this afternoon,
tonight and Thursday indicated
that the showers won't last long.
Today's rains, although they fell
over a wide area of Texas, were
far too light to make an appreci-
able dent in the state'a long and
costly drought. Denton County has
officially recorded less than 19
inches of rain since Jan. 1. The
average one-year total is 33 inch-
es for Denton County.
With the rainfall thus far this
year nearly 14 inches below nor-
mal, it will take mor* than light
showers to put moisture back into
the dry soil, fill up powder-dry
stream* and slock tank* and re-
plenish Lake Dallas’ dwindling
supply, agriculture official* point
out.
Many farm leader* feared that
this morning’s light rainfall would
do more harm than good. They
pointed out that thousands of acre*
of wheat, oats and vetch had been
"duated in" over the county and
that light rains would serve mere-
ly to germinate the seed, causing
them to sprout. Then, if more
moisture doesn’t follow almost im-
mediately, these cropa will be
lost.
One agriculture official said he
believed today's light shower will
have litle effect on seed already
