Dr. Albert McClellan, former
Bowie resident who is conducting
revival meetings at the First
Baptist church here, made a tour
through the News mechanical de-
partment .when he visited the
News one day recently. Dr. Me
Clellan worked on the Bowie
Enterprise as a boy so was in-
terested in seeing how weekly
newspaper plants have improved
since that time. He still has
something to do with printing as
his position of Director of Pub-
lications of the Southern Baptist
Convention means that the Con-
vention’s big printing plant, em-
ploying 1200 persons, is under his
supervision.

D. E. Program
Has Trained
140 Young Folks
Returning from the recent an-
nual conference of Distributive
Education coordinators, P. V.
Pearce, local D. E. teacher, re-
ports that it was the best con-
ference of this kind he has at-
tended. With approximately 120
teachers present, in San Antonio,
attending the sessions, and with
many addresses by outstanding
authorities on merchandising, the
more than 5000 young high school
juniors and seniors will profit
from the conference, which
brought out the latest ideas on
how to train to sell, in our high
schools, Pearce states.
"The D. E. program in Bowie
will start its sixth year with the
opening of the school term,”
Pearce states. "Nearly 140 young
salesmen have received academic
and on-the-job training in local
business institutions. It is inter-
esting how the enrollment varies
from year to year, as to sex. It
seems that one year there will
be a preponderance of girls, then
the next year there will be more
boys. And there is always a
greater demand for male help in
Bowie stores, as is the case this
year.”
Mr. Pearce suggests that high
school junior and senior students,
16 years or older, who are think-
ing of taking Distributive Edu-
cation, should call him at 1090-J
at once, since there will not be
enough “jobs” to go around.
Duncan G. Allen, the head of a
Dallas real estate firm that spec-
ializes in leases of commercial
and industrial properties, was in
Bowie Saturday to inspect the
Bowie garment factory as it has
been listed with the firm to be
leased bv the Texas Drees Corp
Mr. Allen was optimistic about
renting the property to some
manufacturing concern. He told
the News that there is much de-
mand for such a building in
towns like Bowie. Later one of
the partners in the Texas Dress
Corp, brought a very interested
prospect to inspect the garment
factory and consult with officnrs
of the Bowie Industrial Founda-
tions. Negotiations are being con-
ducted with this prospect

S. W. Heard, Pioneer Resident
Passed Away Saturday Afternoon
Samuel Willis Heard, one of the
pioneer residents of this com-
munity, passed away at his home
in Bowie Saturday afternoon,
Aug. 18th, at the age of 88 years
and 10 days.
Mr. Heard was born August 8,
1868, at Rockport, Alabama. Up-
on becoming of age he came to
Montague ; county in 1891 and
purchased 160 acres of land east
of Stoneburg. This was tlqe be-
ginning of his accumulation of
land in that part of this county
and in Clay county. He made a
crop in the fall, being a thrifty
young man, looked around for a
job. He was offered a job in a
hardware store located where the
Carter & Whitecotton store was
until it was closed recently. From
that day on he was connected
with the hardware business.
When the present Heard Hard-
ware building was built by,the
Lillard & Co. hardware store in
1894, Mr. Heard became manager
of the store. He continued to.
manage the store until 1913 when
he, joined by Mr. Mathews
of the lumber firm of Lyon &
Mathews and R. C. Cady in pur-
chasing the firm. It was known
as Mathews, Heard and Cady for
many years. Soon after the death
of Mr; Mathews, Cady and Heard
purchased his interest but as the
firm was incorporated the name
was not changed. Emin Heard
joined the firm in 1919. Gordon
Heard, the third generation of
Heards, bought an interest in the
firm in 1950 when Mr. Cady sold
his stock to the Heards. The cor-
poration
time.
Samuel W. Heard was married
to Annie Crofford at the home of
her parents in Ryan, Okla., on
May, 1893. Ryan was then in In-
dian Territory. Mrs. Heard had
lived in Bowie with her parents
when her father ran a general
store in the location where the
Style Shop is now located. The
Heards enjoyed 63 years of mar-
ride life. They lived all of those
years in two locations in Bowie.
Mr. Heard is survived by his
wife of the home; two sons, Emin
The death of Samuel Heard
brings to mind his thriftiness
and the fact that the men who
bought land in the early days
profited by holding onto the
land. Whan Mr. Heard came to
’ this county in 1891 he paid $5
per acre for a quarter section
of land east of Stoneburg. He
later sold the land at double
the price, $10, per acre. Because
of sentimental reasons, he de-
cided to buy the land back when
it was sold by the estate of Mr.
Arnold who had purchased the
land from him. He paid $35 per
acre for the land when he bought
it the second time Although Mr.
Heard was identified with the
hardware business for quite a
few years more than half a cen-
tury, he continued to be active
in farming and cattle raising.
Financial help for the sales
barn that will be built in Pelham
park by the Montague County
Heaeford Assoc, was voted by the
Bo^fle Chamber of Commerce
directors at the regular meeting
Monday night. The C. of C. voted ,
$200.

105.8 degrees, according to Col.
James Zetzsche has fixed up

least) the comforts of home. They
use the pickup on vacation trips

of all the actual work accom-

lowing estimates represent some
of the work done by this unit
under Mr. Farrell's supervision
from 1946 until Jan. 1 1956:
Vetch was introduced as a soil
improving crop and thousands of
acres have been planter! during
the past years. From 30,000 to 40,
000 acres of cover crops have
