Local firefighters got their first close look last Saturday at the 1990 model pumper truck purchased
by the Rural Fire District #2. The truck will be housed at the Queen City fire station.
Fire district receives new truck
Journal Staff Report
Like parents proud of a brand
new bay, the firefighters in Cass
County Rural Fire District #2 are
beaming over their brand new
firetruck. The district took delivery
last week of a 1990 Kovach pum-
per, that can pump 1,250 gallons of
water a minute and has a 1,000 gal-
lon storage tank.
According to the district's board
president W.H. "Buddy" McFaul, the
truck was acquired on a lease/pur-
chase agreement. "We put $23,000
down and will pay $15,000 per year
until the balance is paid." McFaul
said the total cost of the truck is
about $112,000.
The district is paying for the
modern piece of equipment from tax
revenue generated by the fire dis-
trict tax imposed on resident of
Precinct 3.
"The tax is three cents per $100
valuation," he explained. "The
voters created the district two years
ago, so we didn't';t get any tax
money that first year. But it's com-
ing in now. I think we'll see a total of
about $90,000 for the year."
The firetruck has its own self-
contained breathing apparatus and
has all the types and sizes of
firehose needed for both city and
rural firefighting. It will be stationed
at the Queen City fire station.
"We've got some plans," he said.
"We're going to construct fire sta-
tions at Anti and Domino and we're
looking for two new tanker trucks for
each of those communities."
So far, the district has purchased
protective clothing for the firemen in
Queen City, Anti and Domino and
has bought pocket pagers to alert
all the firemen.
"We're taking bids on the Anti
building right now," McFaul added.
"We hope to have both stations con-
structed before next summer."
The board includes McFaul, vice-
president Mitch McCasland, Charles
Hardin as secretary-treasurer and
members Marvin Campbell and Lar-
ry Lawrence. They meet the third
Thursday of every month at 7 p.m.
in the building next to the county
barn in Precinct 3.

Interest has been shown,
but ANB has not been sold
Journal Staff Report
Rumors to the contrary, the Atlanta National Bank is not under new
management. Bank president Millard Aud did confirm, however, that a
Texarkana bank has expressed an interest in acquiring ANB.
"State First National Bank in Texarkana has expressed an interest," he
said Monday. "But that's not unusual. There's probably not a bank in
Texas that hasn't been approached by a larger bank company. And any
bank that doesn't at least consider something like this isn't looking
ahead."
Aud said that the directors and shareholders of both banks will have to
examine the offer, as will the necessary banking agencies. Atlanta Na-
tional has been using State First's data processing system for several
years.
"Nothing's been signed. They made a 'pass' at us, but so far, that's it,"
Aud said.

Board of Directors about the pos-
sibility of applying for such a grant.
The board wants to build a com-
munity center southwest of Marietta
to house such programs as meals
on wheels, an early childhood
program, a G.E.D. program, tutor-
ing, physical fitness, and arts and
crafts. The board has already begun
raising money for the project. They
will be responsible for paying the
matching funds if a grant is
awarded.
Also Monday, the commissioners
voted to hire Mary Stewart of San
Antonio to do land and land-related
research for the county. Stewart's
company finds lost properly for
counties. She goes through all of
the county's deed records to verify
them and see if the county owns
some property or mineral rights to
land it's not aware of.
The commissioners agreed that if
Stewart does find some "lost" land,
it will not only be an asset to the
county, but will also pay for the
search itself.

his parents will continue' their retire-
ment, something they started in ear-
nest several years ago.
"As for me, I have a few job op-
portunities that I'll be looking at," he
said. "I'll be looking for something
close by because I want to continue
living in this area."
Price said the sale will continue
for about 30 days and all items will
be priced 30 percent off the regular
price as the sale begins. The store
is located on the corner of Hiram

JEREMY DREESEN
Dreesen new
juvenile officer
By VALERIE EAVES
Journal Staff Writer
The Cass County Juvenile Proba-
tion Department has a new assis-
tant probation officer. Jeremy
Dreesen, 21, of Jefferson, has been
named the new intensive supervi-
sion officer, filling the position
recently vacated by Cathy Allen.
Dreesen, a graduate of Delta
State University, will be working
with juveniles who, without intensive
supervision, are most likely to be
repeat offenders.
"Many of these kids are given
home-bound detention instead of
being sent to a detention center,"
said Juvenile Probation Officer Tony
McDuffie. "Home-bound detention
saves the county a lot of money.
Jeremy's job will be to make unex-
pected visits during the day and
night to be sure those kids are stay-
ing home-bound."
McDuffie said Dreesen will also
make curfew checks, phone calls,
and help take kids to tutoring or
counselling sessions.
Dreesen began working in the
juvenile probation office Monday.
