Street Grader
City commissioners will open
bids on a used grader for the
street department at a special
meeting Monday at 4 p.m. at
City Hall.
City Manager F. R. Cromwell
said he would have a report
ready on a survey of ownership
of all juke boxes and cigarette
machines in town.
The road grader is expected to
cost somewhere in the neigh-
borhood of $5,000. Cromwell said
earlier the purchase would be
handled through time warrants.
The city has been considering
assessing an annual fee on the
vending machines. The matter
was discussed several months
ago but no action was taken.
Cromwell said he would be un-
able to present commissioners
with a copy of the preliminary
city budget for 1962-63 as he had
planned to do. He said it wouldn’t
be ready at that time, but that
commissioners might want to talk
about it anyway.
The budget is to include $12,-

a relief battalion that arrived by
road.
Besides the dead, 20 Vietnamese
troops were wounded and four
were missing. The fight reported-
ly lasted only a few minutes be-
fore government ’ soldiers were
overwhelmed.
The name of the dead Ameri-
can was withheld pending notifi-
cation of his family.
His death brought to seven the
number of American servicemen
killed in combat with the Viet
Cong since the buildup of U.S.
forces began here last December.
Sixteen others have died in aci-
dents.
U. S. authorities reported that
the Viet Cong ambush force was
under air observation and was be-
ing pursued by fighter planes,
U.S. Army helicopters loaded with
South Vietnamese troops and
transport planes carrying para-
troops.
There was no indication whether
the Communists suffered any cas-

cate farmers are finding more
insect damage than they had ex-

Samples have ben sent to
A&M College to determine if
there has been a sizeable increase
in the tobacco bug worm, an in-
sect that looks just like the boll-
worm but which is much more
resistant to insecticides.
A build-up in the population
of the bug is suspected because
of poor poisoning results, parti-
cularly in the Circleville and Hox-
ie areas.
Wakefield said some areas have
been hurt by the boll weevil and
bollworm but the extent of the
damage is hard to determine on
the basis of the spot checks.

Miss Etzel, who has been a'
cashier at the bank since about 1
1920, learned to care for the
plants as she went along. She
“grew up with them,” so to
speak.
Outside of a few pot plants at
home she had had no previous
experience with growing things.
But now she hopes to expand her
interest in plants now that Coup-
land is getting its new water sup-
