Weekend Weather
Brings Rash Of
Traffic Mishaps
Bonham, Nov. 26.—Fog, rain
and wet pavements were blamed
for five weekend accidents that left
two persons in Bonham hospitals:
The series of accidents started at
8 p. m. Saturday and continued
through Sunday night, Highway
Patrolman Dwayne Cox, who in-
vestigated said. i
In a Bonham hospital were Amer
Gene Holloway of 2509 Rhyne Ave,
Fort Worth, and Gary Whitlock, 16,
of Honey Grove, injured in two
widely separated accidents—both
involving a single car.
Holloway suffered fractured ribs
and a broken collartmne when his
car left the pavement on FM 273,
rolled over and crashed into a
tree 1.7 miles north of Ivanhoe.
Patrolman Cox said Holloway
was coming jjouth when he appar-
enrly lost control of the'car.
Whitlock was one of three per
sons Injured in a one-car accident
on FM 100, 17 miles north of Hon-
ey Grove, Saturday night.
Patrolman Cox said Leslie W.
Modi,14563 Isbella, Dallas, was the
driver of the-car which skidded on
the wet pavement, ran into the
ditch, knocked down a fence and
then hit a tree.
Moch suffered cute and bruises
as did Suzanne Alexander, 15, of
506 West Main, Honey Grove.
Miss Alexander, Moch and Whit-
lock were taken to a Honey Grove
physician for first aid treatment
and later released. Whitlodk Was
later brought to a Bonham hospital
where he remained Monday.
In other weekend accident, Col-
lin H. Howell, 418 East 5th street,
Bonham, escaped injury when the
car he was driving skidded on the
wet pavement, swereved off the
road and hit a telephone pole on
U. S. 82, 1.6 miles east of Bonham.
Raymond Dean Lackey, Bonham,
Rt. 1, escaped injury when he lost
control of his car on the wet pave-
ment on U. 8. 82 and rammed the
railing on the bridge over Bois d’-
Arc Greek.
The first accident was Saturday
night when a car driven by Robert
Anderson Allen, Negro, 1101 Hick-
ory, Honey Grove, skidded and
struck a parked car owned by
Roosevelt Gaffey of Wolfe City in
Ladonia.
Another accident which Patrol-
man Cox said was not reported
was on Highway 78, north of Bon-
ham, when a car left the highway
and ran into a ditch.
James Calvin Oakley, 15, of
Leonard was fatally injured late
Friday when the car in which he
was riding overturned on Farm
Road 896 between Leonard and
Randolph. Bobby James Barry, 14,
suffered a severe back injury in
the same accident. Melvin Johnson,
46, of Bailey, also a passenger in
the car was not injured.
*
A Wright City, Okla., woman
was seriously injured in a car-
truck collision at the intersection
of U. S. Highway 69 and State
Highway 121 at Trenton Tuesday
afternoon of this week. Critically
injured and taken to a Sherman
hosital was a Mrs. Gaskey of
Wright City.
Cotton and Peanut Crops Add Near
$2 Million To Honey Grove Area Economy
On an approximate one-tenth
the acreage, peanuts are netting
Fannin county farmers about a
fourth the amount of the gross
they’ll receive from the 1962 cot-
ton harvest.
Cotton and peanuts alone, in the
immediate Honey Grove area will
account for a near 12,000,000 cash
this fall ti the area’s economy.
The two peanut drying plants in
Honey Grove have handled about
70% of the area’s peanut crop, ac-
cording to D. R. Black, manager of
the Texas Sesame plant here. The
other drying plant, managed by
Tom Newhouse, is the Farmers
Supply plant.
Black estimated a total of 5 1-2
million pounds of peanuts handled
by both Honey Grove plants, which
is equivalent to. about 100 freight
Navarro Gets
3-0 Triumph
Biloxi, Miss. — Navarro Junior
College of Corsicana, won the Hos-
pitality Bowl game on Thanksgiv-
ing Day when Karl Sweatain of
Dallas booted a fourth quarter 47-
yard field goal for a 3-0 victory
over Perkinston Junior College.
The postseason game between
the Texas and Mississippi junior
college powers was a defensive
battle that was almost as close as
the score-. Navarro held a 13-11
edge in first downs.
It was the fifth victory for a
Texas team against three for Mis-
sissippi teams in the anuual bowl
event.
Navarro, with a 9-1 record, had
won the Texas Junior College Con-
ference co-championship while
Perkinston had an 8-2 mark and
finished in a tie to the runner-up
spot in the Mississippi Junior Col-
lege Conference.
Charles Felts of Honey Grove
was a member of the Navorro Jun-
ior College team this year.
car loads. The average price Black
said was about 10c per pound,
meaning a total of around $550,-
000 as the cash value of the pea-
nuts handled here.
It is this newspaper’s under-
standing that additional drying fa-
cilities will be added by both Far-
mers Supply and Texas Sesame to
nearly double their capacity for
the 1963 harvest. The ASC office
in Bonham estimates that in addi-
tion to the 30% of the local area
peanuts, which local plants were
unable to handle that perhaps an-
other three or four million pounds
were handled in Durant and Madill,
Okla., and Aubrey, Texas.
The three Honey Grove cotton
gins and the gin at Riverby have
processed a total of 7,451 bales of
cotton through’ Monday of this
week. There remains only a bale
here and there ginners report be-
fore the cotton harvest is over.
With cotton bringing around $155
per bale the total ginnlngs of these
four gin plants will mean about
added
mean
to the
$1,155,000
economy.
Peanut acreage in Fannin Coun-
ty this year was 7,963.6. The total
cotton acreage was 75,833.
Operating the government grad-
ing station at Honey Grove since
August for the peanut crop were
R. D. Boland of Cisco, a federal
peanut inspector and J. W. Mar-
shall of Harlingen, a vegetable and
nut inspector with the Department
of Agriculture.
It is possible that the total pea-
nut crop for Fannin'* County will
approximate a little over $1,000,000
and that of cotton around $4,000,-
000. *

Chemical Process
Colors Tree Leaves
hr The Fall
COLLEGE STATION — While
driving through wooded areas or
along city streets In Texas during
the fall of the year, have you ever
wondered why the leaves of trees,
change their colpr?
According to Bill Smith, exten-
sion forester at Texas A&M Col-
lege, there is a real good reason.
He points out that it is a part of
the process by which the tree pre-
pares Itself for winter.
Both legend and science have
reasons for the beautiful red,
brown, yellow and orange colors
which decorate Texas broad-leaf
trees each year. One story has it
that Jack Frost paints the multi
colors on trees in autumn. Another
one is that celestial hunters h'ave
slain the great bear in the sky and
his blood dripping on the forests
changes many trees to red. In
reality, however, change in color-
ing is the result of chemical pro
cesses which take place in the tree
during Its preparation for winter.
All during the spring and sum-
mer, the leaves have served as food
factories. In the autumn, cool
weather causes a slowing down of
tree growth and the work of the
leaves comes to an end. As this
happens, the green coloring mat-
ter, or chlorophyll, which helps to
make food, dies or loses its color.
While the chlorophyll Is active, It
masks out other colored pigments
In the leaf such cm brown, red or
yellow. As it dies, these other col-
ors predominate.
Some of the food, such as sugars,
may be trapped In the leaves when
this activity ceases. These give rise
to additional colors such as reds,
purples and—blues;:—This
No Km Found Of
Jack Reinhard;
Rites Held Tuesday
Graveside rites for John F.
(Jack) Reinhard, 70, magazine
salesman, who died in his hotel
room here on Tuesday evening of
last week, (November 20, 1962)
were held at Oakwood Cemetery
Tuesday afternoon. The Rev. A. M.
Davenport, Jr., minister of Mc-
Kenzie Methodist Church officiated
and Cooper-Sorrells Funeral Home
directed intrement in Oakwooti
Cemetery .
The funeral home and North
Texas peace officers spent a week
in an effort to locate kinsfolk of
Reinhard, but to no avail.
He came to Honey Grove with
two other traveling salesmen for
Farmer-Stockman magazine, Dal-
las, registering at the Roberts
House Sunday night, Nov. 18. Rein-
hard was sick Tuesday, remaining
In his room at the hotel. He was
sitting on the side of the bed there,
watching his two companions play-
ing dominoes when he was strtck-
en with a heart attack around 6:30
Tuesday evening.
The doctor summoned to attend
him used resusitation means but
failed to revive him and B. N. Par-
rish, justice of the peace, rendered
a verdict of death due to natural
causes.
The body was fingerprinted- in
an effort to identify the man fur-
ther, but no relatives could be lo-
cated. It was determined, however,
that he was a veteran of World
War I, and was or had been a
member of an American Legion
post in San Aneonio. His last per-
manent address was Austin, but
peopple who knew him there, know
of no relatives.

Smith points out that the effect
of the leaf fall Is to prepare the
tree for winter sleep or inactivity.'
Also, the falling leaves make a
blanket over the ground. As spring
comes the leaves decay and put

trients taken up by the roots dur-
ing the .past growing season. The
decayed leaves help to make the

A house In the southeast part of
town, occupied by Leroy Chaffin
and owned by Tom Smith was com-
pletely destroyed by fire shortly
after noon Monday. Quick work on
the part of the Honey Grove fire
department kept the blaze con-
fined to the one building.
The fire department was called
to Ellis & Sons Furniture on the
south side of the square Monday
morning. Damage was minor as the
blaze was confined to a bundle of
quilts to wrap furniture for de
livery.
3-Day Rain Leaves
Area 'Purf Near
W-E-T!
Farming lands and lawns, pools
and stock ponds in the Honey
Grove and Ladonia area have plen-
ty of water, and the citizenry in
general may be near the mildew
state as a result of a near three
days of continuous and-or inter-
mittent rains.
At least that was the general
concensus Tuesday. Sprinkles and
showers which began Saturday,
continued through Monday even-
ing with by far the -heaviest rains
coming Monday morning. Tues-
day’s weather added to the general
damp, dreariness of the past severii
al days’ complexion, with heavy
fog until noon.
R. M. McCleary, Honey Grove
weather observer, reported a total
of 2.40 inches of rainfall. The
amount varied in this general area
appreciably, with both Paris and
Bonham reporting considerably
more rainfall than that of Honey
Grove;—;-—

New Arrivals
New Postal Cards
To Be White; Cost
1c More Jan. 7th
A new version of the handy pos-
tal card will go on sale later this
month at an increased price of four
cents.
The new card, successor to the
familiar three-cent one, must be
used after Jan. 7, 1963. It will be
quite different from its predeces
sor and from the original penny
postal card of years ago.
The new model will be gleaming
white instead of the traditional
buff, and the purple print of the
Statue of Liberty will be replaced
by a light purple portrait of Abra-
ham Lincoln.
All of the new cards will be pre-
canceled without the city of origin.
A series of bars will comprise the
precancellation.
Previously, only permit holders
such as businesses used such pre-
cancelations. These were done by
over-printing the name of the city
of origin across the stamp. The de-
cision to use precanceled cards
came atfer studies by the Post Of-
fice Department in Washington
showed that their use would save
time and labor.
The nation’s business firms pur-
chase 85 per cent of the 2,000,000,-
000 postal cards issued yearly.

many such folks, and we consider
a number of them to be our per-
sonal friends, but they, like the
others, have long ago received
their standard notice and , not so
long ago, we discovered that one
certain way to strain local friend-
ships is to try being helpful by
casually reminding friends of their
tax-owing oversights — so hence-
forth we will leave ‘good inten-
tions to the Judges and the Court-
room’,” Voyer said, somewhat rue-
fully.
"This is a shame because costs
for Court and suit preparation on
a tax suit, amounting to as little
as $1.50, can bring the total judg-
ment to as high as twenty-five
dollars, and of course someone’s
automobile, personal property or
real estate will usually be attach-
ed as result of the required tax lien
foreclosing procedure,” the Attor-
ney said.
“Such small accounts must be
cleared from the books one way
or the other — through specific
arrangements for payment, or by
suit.
“At least 100 of the real estate
suits are necessary because heirs ‘
of a number of estates have failed
to designate a responsible person
to handle their tax responsibili-
ties,” Mr. Voyer said.

High Blood
Pressure A
Matter Of Taste
London. —- High blood pressure
may be a matter of taste.
John Hopkins University scient-
ists have found that a person with
high blood pressure eats more salt
than a person with normal blood
pressure because he can not taste
it as well as a person with normal
blood pressure. The high salt in-
take may cause high blood pres-
sure, Drs. Norman Fallis, Louis
Lasagna and Leon Tetroault re-
ported in the British scientific
journal Nature (Oct. 6.)
In taste tests at John Hopkins
University School of Medicine,
20 persons with high blood pres-
sure and 20 with normal pressure
were asked to sample different so-
lutions. Each person was presented
with a number of rows of cupg'
with four cups in each row. Three
of the four cups contained distilled
water while the fourth contained
a salt or a sugar solution the lo-
cation of the fourth cup- was—at—
random. Both of the groups had '
similar ages and background.
Scientists determined the lowest
concentration at which a patient
could distinguish a substance ana
the concentration at which ho
could identify it. The tests' were
made one and half hours after the
last meals and the persons being
tested were asked not to smoke
during the period.
Findings revealed that the group
with high blood pressure needed
concentrations two to 16 times
greater than the control group to
distinguish salt in a solution. The
two groups identified the same
concentrations of sugar.
