HOT? Sure is!
iPiiiimiimwiiwiriiifflrMTimiiiMMiH
Hot isn't it?
Hot enough to take all but
the most ardent fishermen off
the lakes, to let the man in the
family decide the grass can go
another day without cutting,
and the housewife with air-
conditioning to realize there
really is no place like home.
Every day for the last week,
the temperature here has
been 95 degrees or more.
Two days, the mercury was
more than 100.
The creeping heat wave be-
gan the seven-day cycle with
a high of 95 last Thursday.
It was 97 Friday, 98 Satur-
day, and 101 by Sunday.
Monday was the worst yet
with a 102 degree reading.
Then the temperature be-
gan a slow, teasing drop.
It was only 99 Tuesday and
98 Wednesday.
The highs were high enough
but the lows weren't very low.
The mercury dropped to a
week-long low of 71 Wednes-
day morning but the bottom
range each day was from that
point up to 75 degrees.

It's hotter now than it used
to be.
The thermometers may not
show it but maybe that's be-
cause they're not made the
way they once were.
Everything, too. is farther
than it used to be.
It's twice as far now from
any one point to another and
they've added a hill or two.
Stairs are steeper than they
were in the old days. The ris-
ers are higher and there are
more of them. You've noticed
it's harder to make two at a
time than it was a few years
ago. It's all you can do to make
one otep at a time.
Have you noticed the small
print they are using lately?
Newspapers are getting far-
ther and farther away and you
have to squint to make out
the news. Crossword puzzles
are getting impossible.
It's ridiculous to assume that
folks your age need glasses,
but it's the only way to find
out what's going on without
having someone else reading
aloud, and that isn't much help
because everyone seems to
speak in such a low voice you
scarcely can hear.
Times sure are changing.
The material in clothes
seems to shrink in certain
places — like around the waist
or in the seat.
Shoe laces now are so short
they are next to impossible to
reach.
Besides the summers getting
hotter, the winters are getting
colder than in the good old
days.
The snow that used to fall
was fun but the new kind is
just a nuisance. Rain is wetter
than it used to be and the win-
dows they build now makes
drafts more severe.
People are changing, too.

Reserve seat tickets for
Pewitt Brahma home foot-

Aug. 1 to those who held
reserve seats last year
Fans may get the same
seat if they have turned
in the 1962 season sJ,.b,
or if they turn them in by
Aug. 15 to A. T. Brian,
high school principal.
After Aug. 15, all seats
not claimed by previous
holders will go on sale on
a first come, first served
basis.
Earnings increased for Lone
Star Steel Company for the
quarter ending June 30 and
for the first six months of
1963.
The interim report mailed
to stockholders Saturday show-
ed that a net income of $1.-
107.000, or 28 cents per share
of stock outstanding, was re-
alized in the second quarter.
This compares with $420,000
earned during the correspond-
ing quarter of 1962.
Earnings for the first six
months of 1963 amounted to
$1,443,000, or 37 cents per
share, compared with $560,000
earned in the first half of 1962.
''This improvement in earn-
ings resulted primarily from
increased efficiency and cost
reductions which have been
accomplished during the past
year," President George A.
Wilson said.
"This is evidenced by the
fact that the company's oper-
ating rate so far in 1963 has
averaged 71 per cent as com-
pared with 83 per cent in 1962,
while sales volume for the first
half of each year was almost
identical," Wilson said.
Commenting on market con-
ditions, Wilson said, "Due to
the prevailing reduced level of
drilling and exploration by our
principal customer group, the
domestic oil and gas industry,
the market for oil country tu-
bular goods is tending to con-
tract rather than expand."
"The total number of well

Q:, ' fc other hand, people
our own age are so much old-
er than we are.
It makes you think you are
approaching middle age.
You run into an old friend
and he has changed so much
that he didn't recognize you.
"You've put on a lot of
weight," you tell him.
"It's this modern food," he
says. "It seems to be more
fattening."
You get to thinking about
that friend next morning as
you shave. You stop and look
at your own reflection in the
mirror.

completions this year probab-
ly will be fewer than the num-
ber completed in 1962. Stren-
uous effort is being made to
offset this decline in the total
demand for our types of tubu-
lar goods through aggressive
sales effort, not only in oil
country pipe but in all of our
product lines."
The sales outlook for line
pipe, cast iron pipe and tw'O
of Lone Star's, new products,
standard and spiral weld pipe,
is somewhat brighter, accord-
ing to Wilson.
C. J. Vaughan, contractor,
got the ••high-ball" signal late
last week on construction of
the Naples Community Inn.
And in about eight months
from now — or less — the
modern 50-unit motor hotel
will be in business.
Vaughan's crews did a lot
of preliminary work while de-
tails on financing were being
ironed out.
The estimate of working
time on his bid was 260 work-
ing days but Vaughan had
shortened that estimate con-
siderably by this week.
W. C. Sullivan, chairman of
Naples Community Inns, said
all financing has been cleared
through the first Iein holders,
the Area Redevelopment Ad-
ministration and the Small
Business Administration.
Some financial arrangements
are yet to be worked out be-
tween Naples Community Inns
and the Community Inns of
America, which will manage
the facility when it is opened.
However, construction can
proceed while these problems
are being ironed out, Sullivan
said.
The motor hotel is being
built on a 32 acre triangle of
land in the west part of Na-
ples.
The community-owned facil-
ity will have 50 guest rooms,
a swimming pool, several re-
tail store rental units, a cof-
fee shop to seat 75. and dining
rooms for 25. 35 and 300 peo-
ple.

Pewitt All-Stars win first round playoff

the Pewitt Little League All-

of the East Texas champion-
ship playoffs this week.
The Pewitt team eliminated
the Atlanla Nationals with a
5-4 win Tuesday night at the
Omaha park after an 11-3 vic-
tory at Atlanta Monday night.
The twin wins gave the Pew-
itt boys a place in the second
round against the winner of
the Hughes Springs and Halls-
ville series to be concluded
Thursday night if Hughes
Springs wins. Hallsville was
beaten 10-5 in the opening
game of the best two out of
