The names of the liurricans of
this, year were given at Che Weat-
her Bureau at Miami, lone and
Hazel, and others, all have womens
names . . . We causually ask why
they were given these, feminine
names . . . We casually ask why
that he thought it was because
no one knew where they were
going, they were a bunch of fury,
doing .the unexpected and couldn't
be stopped by hell and high wat-
er . , . . by this time, being a
woman, my chin dropped down
to its lowest. And from a man of
authority on the same subject
came this remark . ! . "When
•Betty comes along we'd better all
hide out." .

We heard a broadcast there
were 8545 weekly newspapers. By
hard work, lots of long distant
driving and our friendly News-
papers, a wide awake manager,
and editor and undaunted pub-
lisher and the co-operation of all
Honey Grove ... we are still
counted as one of them.

We got a way (>licad of out-
ministers this w#6k. Came Tues-
day morning,.tffva we got together
the churpn page and printed it
with the church schedules as near
a^.-Wo could determine. And, sure
../enough we ended up doing it all
wrong, because by Wednesday
ewtilng we had received hnlf a
dozen cotrected schedules.; so we
corrected them up and If you
look long enough, you'll probably
find the correct • schedule some-
where In this issue.
We want to run the schedules
of the various churches in Honey
Grove and surrounding comtrymi-
ties. We shall appreciate your
keeping them corrected up to date,
too, and we're happy to make any
changes you want each week. We
will appreciate jt greatly and it'll
be a big help "to us, though, if
you'll get them into the office
not later than Tuesday morning
by 10:00 for the present at least.

NOTICE
Honey Grove has a very loyelv
Crockett Park, and one which is
enjoyed by many people every
season.
The B & PW Club has pro-
vided tables,. seats, w'atei* foun-
tains, swings and slides for the
children, as well as lights all year,
at no cost to those enjoying the
Park. |
But some people are abusing
this fine privilege or a nice park
by leaving bottles, papers and
trash on the grounds.
It is requested that people" make
use of the containers placed for
that purpose, and try to keep the
park clean.at-all times, ffid make
it a place of beauty instead of
an eyesore. v . -
policy to please as large a per-
centage of our readers as pos-
sible, we herefore commit a part
of the errors every week, practi-
cally intentionally, in order that
oUr "error-hunting" readers won't
be disappointed.
The above paragraph doesn't
hold true though, for the signa-
ture on the Ellis and Sons Furni-
ture Store ad, found on another
page of this week's issue. They
haven't abandoned~~the furniture
business for the hardware busi-
ness. That was just one time when
we failed to R-E-A-D.
INSURANCE KEY RATES UPPE
BOTH HONEY GROVE AND LAD0NI
Both Honey Grove and Ladonia
are paying higher insurance key
rates on all policies written.-since
September 15 as the result of re
cent inspections by the State Fire
Insurance Division, according to
a feature article in one of the
small town dailies with some cir-
culation in this area. * "
Another of the cities In the
county, inspected «t about the
same time, Leonard, got a two
tent reduction in its key rate, ac-
cording .to "the article, under an
Austin, dateline, which appeared, conbustible
in the Tuesday issue ,of The
Sh'erman Democrat.
The key rate increase in Honey
Grove amounts to 5 cents, being,
from 34 cents to 30 cents. Thir
increase will cost Honey Grov<
insurance buyers a total of. $1,80(
p< r year. Honey Grove's las!
year's premiums cost Hnnej
Grove, insurance buyers
The key rate in Honoy Crow i:
'considerably lower than in either
Ladonia or Leonard, because of
a number of-factors, including the
fact that Honey Grove has a full
time paid fireman.
Mains Deficient
The charges which, make up
the Honey Grove key rate are
three cents on pumping units, one
cent for substandard pumping
power, one cent each for 28 per
cent deficiency in water storage
basin and supply main, not in
duplicate, four cents each because
45 per cent of mains are deficient
in business districts and 42 per
cent in residential, two cents be-
cause fire hydrants are 30 ^per
cent deficient in merchantil^, one
cent becaUse they are fed by in-
adequate mains in nine per cent
of the cases, four cents because
fire departbient is 80 per cent shy

Local Band
Paper
The Honey Grove band put op-
an exhibition during the^llalf
time Intermission, of the^otball
game Friday night. tjKU equaled
and in many instances far 'isur-
passed those ^.presented by big
time college' bands. The theme
was a sttuite to flags—the Army,
Nayy; Marine Corps, Air Corps,
Old Glory and the American Red
Cross. The lights of the stadium
were turned off and the colored
lights worn on the. heads arid ank-
les of the band% members were
beautiful. As each, flag bearer ap-
proached the band she and her
banner were followed by spotlights.
It ws a spine-tingling exhibition
that carried a deep message to
free people in a free country.

of fully paid men, two cents be-
cause reserve pumper has Inade-
quate capacity, four cents because
of no-fire alarm system except a
siren, six cents because building
laws are 94 per c®"t, deficient in
code or enforcement, two cents be-
cause 70 per cent of business
streets iare less than 70 feet wide,
one cent because/ of overhead wires
in business district, 'two cents for
frame ranges in pierchantile dis-
trict and three cents, because 40
per cent of residential foofs are
2 Per Cent Reduction '
This produces a total charge of
41 cents, against which a two per
cent reduction is given for Honey
Grove's two ej^trft booster trucks
and three per cent for teaching
fire prevention in the schools.
This produces a key rate of 39
cents.
Ladonias' key rate goes up
from 52. to 57 cents, and it will
cost insurance buyers there about
$375 a year, or five per cent on
premiums totaling $7,557 a year.
This rate is made up of charges
of 14 cents for waterworks defi-
ciencies, three cents for 79 per
cent deficient water storage bas-
ins, seven cents for water main
deficiencies, one cent for 12 per
cent deficiencies in residential-
area fire hydrants, 10 cents for
wholly volunteer fire department,
three cents for lack of reserve
pumper and hose ".truck, four
cents for lack of alarm system,
six cents for 86 per cent deficiency
in building code and enforcement,
three cents for narrow, unpaved
streets, two. cents for no alleys,
and five cents for roof and elec-
tric wire hazards. This makes a
total key rate of 59, cents, from
which three per cent is deduct
because fire prevention is tajigfht
in the school?, producing ^ final
key rate of 57 cents
Ladonia gets a,- iO per* cent
credit for having: low fire losses
thp past five years. The four prev-
ious yejws losses resulted, in a
charge of 15 per cent extra be-
cause "of high losses.
Leonard got a two cent reducr
tlon in key rate, from 61 to 59
cents per $100 of fire insurance.
This will mean a savings of about
two per c^nt in city-wide insur-
ance costs, or about $320 a year
on premiums which totalled
$16,673 last year.
The key rate charges resulting
from recept . checks take effect
on insurance policies written after
September 15.

Cooper-Commerce Grid Tilt To Be
District 13-A Feature This Week
Just how gdod is Jack Hicks'
Cooper gridders?
That's the $64,000 question in
District 13-A and Cooper is going
to shoot the works Frjday night
when It tackles Class AA Com-
merce in a district headliner.
Cooper, Van Alstyne and Wolfe
City are all unbeaten in 13rA play,
but .Cooper • has had the toughest
schedule so far. Its Friday game
is doubly important since Com-
merce already has handed defend-
ing champion \^hitewright a clas-
sic pasting.
It Cooper should hurdle Com-
merce, then it definitely will be
at the head of llie class and the
team to beat ,in 13-A.
The Bulldogs are" powered by a
pair of fleet backs. Junior Thomp-
son and Tannle Ramon, who cur-
rently are running 1, 2 in the in-
dividual scoring race with 24 and
21 points respectively. ,
Van Alstyne gets a rather inept
foe Friday in Frisco, while Wolfe
City will be extended if it gets
past the class.of District 11-B, un-
defeated Ladonia Incidentally. La-
donia already holds a verdict over
one 13-A team, Honey Grove.
