Faqnin county has more organized
i; communities th*n any other coun-

" first time one County has ever
provided the Blue Ribbon comm-
unity for three years in a row.
Director Hutchison presented a
silver tray to the Allen’s Point
club, the state award from the
Extension Service.
Praise for the program in this
county also came from Dean R. E.
Pftterson' of the Texas A. and
m' University- school of agricul-
, ture, who said “it is a pleasure to
be associated with a program that
is achieving as much as It is in
' Fannin county.”
Obviously pleased too, were vice
presidents of two of the electric
utility "companies participating
with others in Texas in co-sponso-
rship of the Texas Rural Improve-
ment program.

pany, complimented all Fannin

THE CITY COMMISSION
The Fannin County Commission-
er’s Court, by unanimous official
action on June 15, ordered the
County Home closed as of July 1,
1964.
This matter has been under con-
sideration before the Court for
many months, but was not official-
ly decided until the Court on the
15th of June, 1964 officially accept-
ed the resignation of Mr. Paul Tay^
lor as County Home Superinten
dent.
The Fannin County Home has
served a wonderful purpose foi
many years in helping take care
of the indigent persons and the
present Commissioners' Court pays
its respects to the Commission-
ers’ Court of some 35 years ago,
who constructed the present Home
and made it possible to have such
an institution within the County.
However, times have changed so
completely, and the year of 1964
is so drastically different from the
year of 1928, that there is no need
to maintain a County Home for
the indigent in the future.
Therefore, following the pattern
of neighboring counties, including
Lamar, Delta, Hunt, Collin and
Grayson, who do not have cither
County Homes or Farms, we are
closing the Home; thereby saving
the taxpayers about $8,000.00 each
year.
Welfare programs, such as Old
Age Assistance, Aid to the Blind,
Aid to Dependent Children, Aid I
for the .Totally and Permanently j
Disabled, Social Security Retire-
ments, Veterans Pensions and
other monetary payments have ab-
sorbed the needs for local chari-
table institutions. It is very sel-
dom that you find a person in. this
day in time who is in need unless
that person can qualify for some
type of payjnent.
At the present time, there are
only four (4) needy persons in
the Home; three of these have been
approved b ythe State Department
of Public Welfare for pensions,
and Guardians have already been
appointed by your County Court
to assume full responsibility. The
one other ^person, who was disap-
proved for a pension payment, will
be taken care of by the County by
direct* payment on a room and
board basis.
The County Home property is a
very valuable piece pf property
and it isn’t the intention of tho
Court to dispose of the property,
either by sale or lease, but we in-
tend to retain the property for the
Cotinty and to improve the same
by a general clean up and im-
provement program. Especially,
upon the main building, both with-
in and without, thereby bringing
to this particular area a beautifi-
cation program that the citizens
of Bonham and Fannin County
will be proud of.
Plans have been practically com-
pleted for the renovation of our
Fannin County Courthouse and if
these arte carried out, we hope to
move most of our County Govern-
ment offices to the County Home;
thereby making a temporary
courthouse building, free from
rental payments.
After then, it is our hope and
desire that our County Home can
be utilized into some type of build-
ing that will be for the benefit of
all the citizens of our county, but
at this time we do not know ex-
actly what that will be.
Facts and figures concerning
the Home will be given the Public
in another article ,but until that
time, if you want any information,
please contact any County Com-
missioner, the County Auditor, or
the County Judge. We want all
Fannin County citizens to become
thoroughly familiar with pur first
step toward a progressive move-
ment.
Mrs. Bernice Wallace, casework-
er for the American National
Red Cross, reported that the cas-
es involving families affected by
the April 22 tornado in this area
rftave been closed after final grants
were made this week.
She explained that Red Cross
bridges the gap between a family*
disaster-caused needs and their re-
sources.
“Some of those affected had
edequate insurance and other re-
sources and did not apply for Red
Cross assistance,” she said, “but
others needed, emergency aid of
food, clothing, linens and house-
hold furnishings, assistance tn
rebuilding and repairing homes
and hospital and medical care.”
She further explained that ano-
ther need was the replacement of
farm equipment to enable persons
to resume their means of liveli-
hood.
The American Red Cross made
a $1,500 grant to the Joe. Middle-
brooks family to help in replacing
farming equipment destroyed by
the" tornado aftd gave the Woods
family a home ready for occupan-
cy at a 6ost of $2,500. The Red
Cross will also pay the doctor and
medical bill for both of the Mr.
Woods’ above what their insur-
ance pays, Mr3. Wallace said.
The Red Cross operation for
residents of the stricken areas
between Pecan Gap and Ladonia
is the same plan used throughout
the nation wherever disaster
strikes. Initial assistance was giv-
en by the Greenville- Greater
Blacklands Chapter and the Fan-
nin County Chapter, with the
American National Red Cross dis-
persing supplies and personnel aa
needed, Mrs. Wallace said.
She explained the procedure of
working with each applicant on
an individual family basis.
"No two families are ever alike.
Their losses differ, their needs are
not the same, and their resources
are different. With the family, we
first list theit disaster losses and
determine the needs caused by
such (t catastrophe. When this
need has been established, they
apply their resources and the bal-
ance is provided by Red Cross.’*
Mrs. Wallace emphasized that
all Red Cross assistance fin disas-
ter is an outright gift, with no
repayment asked or expected.
She reported that in all' dis-
aster areas, a community advisory
council is appointed, and after
the family and the caseworkers de-
cide' upon the assistance needed
from Red Cross, the advisory
committee reviews the plan with
the caseworker and makes the
final approval.
