The cooling rain broke the heat,
wave which Tuesday had rent the
official thermometer to 93 degrees,
a tie for the hottest reading of the:
year. A low of 63 degrees was reach- j
ed shortly after the rainfall.
Yoakum’s sudden rainfall sent
Brushy Creek far out of its hanks
and inundated a large acreage of
fields just south of Yoakum. The
sudden rise in the stream brought
it near the highway bridge south
of Ypakum.
It was reported that the driving
rains had flattened many fields of
corn throughout the county.
A light fall of hail was reported
in, the Yorktown area Tuesday aft-
ernoon.

as Poppy Day in Cuero. Mem-
bers of the American Legion
Auxiliary, sponsoring the pop-
py sale, and others who. will
be helping in this most worthy
cause, will be very much in
evidence in the downtown area
of Cuero on that day to mak^
it possible for each and every
person to have at least a small
part in helping a disabled vet-
eran to help himself. This an-
nual event—the Poppy Sale—
has become an institution in
this country, helping to raise
the morale of the hospitalized
veteran and preserving the
veterans’ peace of mind and
eelf-respect.
In his Poppy Day proclama-
tion Issued recently,Mayor
Newman called upon all Cuero
citizen# to observe the day by
wearing the memorial poppies
in honof of thr 137 DeWitt
county men who gave their
lives in defense 6f the United

The opening price was three cents
lower than the opening price in
1948. However, the shed opened ear-
lier in 1948, as the tomatoes matured
earlier. This year the tomatoes,
around Cuero did not mature so
early, so the price was a little bit j
lower. ,
Blackwell added that it was felt
in the Yoakum area that, the hard
rains would benefit the tomato crop,,
although a slow rain would have
proved more beneficial.
