please renew for Examiner.
Cessation of activities Friday (to-
morrow), December 31, by the Tex-
as Electric Railway over its interur-
ban line from Dallas to Denison will
bring a CHANGE in mail SCHED-
ULES FOR McKINNEY, according
to Postmaster Don O. Davis.
Mail will be carried by contract in
trucks over the highway from Dal-
las to Denison with two trips into
McKinney each day from both di-
rections during WEEK DAYS and
HOLIDAYS. On SUNDAY, there
will be ONE TRIP EACH WAY.
The truck is expected to last only
a few months after which it is hoped
to have one of the Highway Post
Office routes through McKinney
from Denison to Dallas. This type of
mail service has been very satisfac-
tory and approximates Railway Mail
Service in that CLERKS SORT
AND HANDLE MAIL IN HUGE
SPECIALLY CONSTRUCTED
BUSSES while they are moving
from ONE TOWN TO ANOTHER.
The head of tiie Railway Mail Serv-
ice in this district, Wiley R. McDon-
ald, of Denison, in charge of the
lines through McKinney has high
hopes that this MORE EFFECTIVE
TYPE of service will be in opera-
tion within a few months.
Mr. McDonald is also working
with Postmaster Davis in efforts al-
ready underway to add more tem-
porary service for McKinney, in-
cluding a LATE AFTERNOON DIS-
PATCH OF MAIL from the LOCAL
OFFICE to Dallas and all train con-
nections, there, about 7:00 p.m.
New Mail Schedule.
The present temporary schedule
calls for mail to be RECEIVED
FROM TRUCKS and SENT OUT
over the same trip at 5:50 in the
MORNING and 1:05 in the AFTER-
NOON NORTHWARD; and at 9:35
in the MORNING and 5:5 in the AF-
TERNOON SOUTHWARD. Patrons
are urged to KEEP THIS PRES-
ENT SCHEDULE IN MIND and
mail accordingly. Mail for ANY OF
THESE TRIPS should be PLACED
IN THE POST OFFICE FORTY-
FIVE MINUTES AHEAD OF THE
TIME OF ARRIVAL here of POST
OFFICE TRUCKS and should be
PLACED IN LETTER BOXES m
the DOWNTOWN AREA AT
LEAST AN HOUR AND FIFTEEN
MINUTES AHEAD OF TIME.

Leon Yeager who has been the ef-

Sheriff Brawley.
J. S. (Red) Hand, our present

T. L. Ray has accepted the posi-
tion of jailer. Mr. Ray served for
several*months as jailer some years
ago. A good one.
Hester Lewis, an experienced
peace officer, has been appointed
riding deputy.
Mr. Brawley says that he hopes,
with the full cooperation of his
deputies and the people of Collin
County, to render the very best serv-
ice in the interest of everyone. And
the Examiner is sure that Levi
Brawley means just what he says.

January 1, 194&, will bring to a
close 42 years of faithful service by
B. C. Cook of McKinney, for the
Texas Electric Company. Of course
all the 42 years were not served un-
der Texas Electric because the elec-
tric that we have known as Texas
Electric, operated under other
names, such as Tire Sherman-Deni-
son Railway Co., 1901-1908, The
Texas Traction Co., 1908-1917, at
which time several electric lines
from Waco to Denison all consoli-
dated and became the Texas Elec-
tric Co
B. C. Cook came to McKinney 33
years ago and almost every day for
the past 14 years he has pulled the
first southbound interurban car out
from the McKinney terminal. Serv-
ing as operator on the interurban
cars is the only job Mr. Cook ever
held. It was his FIRST job when
he grew up. He has an unusually
splendid record for good, safe serv-
ice. It is understood that he will be
permitted to operate the LAST car
that will roll over the Texas Elec-
tric line between McKinney and
Dallas tomorrow, Friday, Dec. 31.
To all the men of McKinney
whose jobs will stop with the aban-
doning of The Texas Electric Co.,
the Examiner wishes success in
whatever work they enter.
Over 2,500,000 Miles.
In making an estimate of the num-
ber of miles Mr. Cook has traveled
during his 42 years’ service the fig-
ures are staggering. Based on an av- :
erage of 150 miles per day, the re-
sults show more than TWO AND
. ONE-HALF MILLION MILES.
