IN THE SEVENTY-SEVENTH YEAR
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LEASED WIRE
BOTH THE OPTIMISTS AND THE LITTLE FOLK got a lot
of fun out of the club’s annual Easter Egg Hunt, yester-
day out at Jaycee Park, where 15,000 Easter Eggs
were hidden, and found by between 500 and 700
boys and girls. Here’s a group of hunters out in one

Two three-year trusteeships ..
were won by Dr. Raymond Cook
and Carl (Bill Jones), while one
year in an unexpired term was
won by Jerry McCarty, in the
Board of Education election of
Ennis Independent School Dist.
held Saturday in Ennis and Bard-
well.
Dr. Cook and Encumbent Mr.
Jones respectively received 326 I
and 242 and Rollie Bohall, third
candidate in the race, received
210, for the full-term places.
Mr. Jones had offered for re-
election and Bill D. Bozek, whose
term also was expiring, did not
file for re-election. These were
the two regular-term places that
were open.
Candidates for the remainder
of resigned Trustee Albert Bu-
dai’s term were Jerry McCarty
and Ramon Armstrong, receiv-
ing, respectively, 261 and 156.
The voting took place at the

where 405 ballots were cast, and
SAIGON— North Vietnamese
infantrymen have killed 14 Ame-
ricans and wounded 28 in close
quarter fighting. Only three of
the enemy were known to be
dead. Generally, fighting appear-
ed to be at its lowest level since
the enemy offensive began six
weeks ago.
Eleven of the Americans died
in a battle about 100 miles north-
east of Saigon. Enemy infantry-
men reportedly drove into an
American bivouac near Bao Loc
with machine gun fire and hand
grenades. They were driven back
with the help of reinforcements
after a two and one half hour
battle.
The other engagement occur-
red in a Viet-Cong war zone as
American air cavalry troops
came under withering small
arms and machine gun fire.
Three Americans were killed be-
fore the enemy withdrew under
heavy bombardment.
In another development a sec-
ond mass grave has been uncov-
ered near Hue. Workers have
dug out the bodies of some 20
men and women who were ap-
parently executed by Communist
troops during the 1968 TET of-
fensive.

3 Societies Fete Kids’ Easter Hunt
THE KJT, KJZT AND K OF C held a joint Easter egg hunt
at the K.C. Hall grounds Sunday at 2 p.m. for the children
of members of the three societies. The weather was beautiful
for the occasion; the hall property is at the edge of town,
where rural acreage starts, and is thus an appropriate place
for an Easter Hunt, and the boys and grils enjoyed it to the
fullest. Cold drinks and cookies were served the large gather-
ing of children after the hunt. Six prize eggs were given the
lucky hunters. K of C Grand Knight Ivan Bohuslav chair-
manned the event.
