SIXTY-FIRST YEAR
Abb Gets Action
On Park Road
The following letter was received
by our fellow townsman, A. 0.
Brabham from the State Highway
Engineer, Julian Montgomery the
past week:
Mr. Abb O. Brabham
Atlanta, Texas.
.....Dear Mr. Brabham:
A^We have your letter of May 11,
JA which you request this Depart-
T5ient to assume maintenance on the
ad leading from State Highway
1 to Daingerfield State Park.
This Department is making pre-
parations to assume maintenance
on the main drives within Dainger-
field State Park including the main
entrance of the park which joins
State Highway 11 about three-
fourths mile southeast of the road
which you mentioned in your letter.
The old road in question will fte
closed as soon as we have assumed
maintenance on the roads in the
park, and the main entrance, join-
ing State Highway 11, will be used.
Sincerely yours,
Julian Montgomery,
State Highway Engineer

Ode To Abb
Abb 0. Brabham, the Chevrolet
King,
Has put a new spoke in his
wheels.
His interest in life has taken on
spice
In the Daingerfield Park in the
hills.
f
He doesn't approve of the old
faithful road
That once served his purpose well
He says it's deplorable and ought
to be paved,
And the world he's ready to tell.
He writes to officials who main-
tain the roads
And complains in a state of fren-
zy;
But who do you think received
the complaint—
His old friend—Louie MeKensie!
"For this ole' boy we'll do our
best,"
Says Mac, "I'd like to please him.
We'll not pave the road, we'll
just close it up
And see if that will appease him."
. I
But we do want Abb to have his
fun
When his day's work has come
to an end,
So we're joining the park to the
highway itself
Just to maintain Abb as a friend.

was shocked Sunday night, to hear
of the sudden death, of Elwyn Al-

and athletically. He played sever-
al ears organized baseball, besides
college football, baseball and basket
ball.
He was very active in his Church,
social and civic life, being a Deacon
in the First Baptist church, a mem-
ber of the School "Board, a Rotarian,
a Mason and a member of the Jun-
ior Chamber of Commerce.
Besides his wife and two daugh-
ters, ho leaves his father, A. L.
Glass of Hughes Springs; two sis-
ters, Mrs. R. O. Daniel, of Jeffer-
son and Mrs. J. M. Cook, of Fort
Worth, and one brother, Ira Glass,
of Hughes Springs to mourn his

The high cost of government;
high cost of living and the high
cost of dying don't have it all. The
high cost of killing a man in the
1940 war is said to be $55,000. In
Caesars time it only cost seventy-
five cents per man.

America has a two-fold oppor-
tunity now. It could sell to Eng-

ho outmoded and vet make a real
weapon in this hour of need; and
we could replace our needs with
up-to-date equipment.
