SEYMOUR. HAYLOH COUNTY, TEXAS THURSDAY, JUNE 17. 1964
SIXTEEN 1'AOBB
PASSING
DAY
Old Settlers Fill
Park for Reunion
MAYBE SO: "Summer must be
here.''
xxxxxx
And you've got to have summer
in order to raise cotton. Afeo, we
have to go through summer in
order to have l'all.
xxxxxx
A lot of worrying has been done
the last six weeks about getting
cotton planted. It hat! begun to
look like some of the fellows
wouldn't get it up before the
Fourth of July.
xxxxxx
So, you could hardly blame the
harried farmers who watched those
black clouds late Monday after-
noon, with a measure of alarm.
One or two more gulley-washlng
rains and the cotton crop would
be all washed up for this year,
xxxxxx
But It didn't turn out so badly
after all. The rain, on the whole,
was a good thing; and probably
did more good than harnrf to the
cotton crop.
xxxxxx
One man's opinion might be il-
lustrative. Wesley Harrison was
asked il' he thought the rain hurt
the cotton. Wesley said: "Just wait
till the middle of August and ask
the cotton men whether or not
they were glad this rain came."
xxxxxx
(And we'd even isuggest that
you might not have to wait till
August to ask that question),
xxxxxx
The mock air raids Monday kill-
ed an estimated six ntillion people
in some 40 of this country's larg-
est cities. That's bad, but not near-
ly as bad as if the thing had actual-
ly happened.
xxxxxx
A lot of folks are always saying:
"It can't happen here." And an
attitude of that kind makes it
easier for it to happen here. In
this modern age a fellow can't tell
what will happen.
xxxxxx
There's an old saying that there
is nothing new under the sun.
Well, in spite of marvelous things
happening by the hundreds in this
marvelous age, there te always
something new coming out in the
papers tomorrow rrforning.
xxxxxx
And these blame columnists are
always thinking up something new.
A cartoon came out the other
morning, showing a young fellow
applying to an executive for a
job.
! xxxxxx
The big man said: "You say you
have just graduated from college.
Well, I'll give you a job if you'll
convince me that you know how to
spell."
xxxxxx
Kernrfan Sage asked the writer
of these few line? where he gets
all the stuff that comes out in
Passing Day. That's a good ques-
tion—and not answered easily,
xxxxxx
The Banner editor went down Ioa
the purk Thursday morning, right)
In the m'iddle of registrations, to
meet some of the old timer* who |
were back home, and get some in-1
formation about the ones who re-j
glittered from a distance.

Another visitor from out at Long

NEW SECRETARY
FOR 0. OF C.
Louis Snyder, recently 01' Dallas,
has been chosen by directors of
the Seymour Chamber of Com-
merce as the new secretary. He
takes the place of O. McDanlel, re-
cently resigned; and Mr, Snyder
entered on to his new duties Sat-
urday. During the interim after
Mr, McDaniel's resignation, Mrs.
W. N. Hart has been looking after
affairs of the office, at headquar-
ters in the city hall.
While Mr. Snyder has been liv-
ing more recently In Dallas, he
Is really a home boy, being the
son of Postmaster and Mrs. C. D.
Snyder of Bomarton. And his
wife is the daughter of Mr, and
Mrs. A. M, Husklnson, who have
operated a grocery store at Bom-
arton for a number of years. The
couple have two lovely little
daughters. Cindy and Sandra, aged
three and six.
And when the Snyders came
back to Seymour they did not have
to worry about a place to live.
They were here before going to
Dallas, and had built a nice home
in the extreme northwest part of
town. And as it happend, the
home was vacant when the couple
decided to come back here. Louis
had been working for the Green-
sville Avenue State Bank while the
family had been in Dallas. They
have a cordial welcome back home;
and best wishes are extended to
the new secretary in the important
Work he Is undertaking.
