THE HOWE ENTERPRISE, THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1972—VOLUME VIII—No. 50
¥4MF>*¥**** *******;
Friday has been set as the
official starting date for the
beard growing contest to be
held during Centennial week,
September 25-30.
Registration and observation
and inspection, will take placi
at Perkins Barber Shop on that
day, or any other business day
between Friday and the week
of judging.
However, to get a fast start,
entrants are k urged to begin
with the rest of us. All that is
required to enter is a clean
shave on Friday. Know one fel
low who started on his beard
about three weeks ago, but
I think he can still pass ; the
test.

Downtown facelifting pro-
ject, instigated by the Cham-
ber of Commerce, finally got
off the ground this week, but
not for long.
Billy Joe Wheeler promised
to begin the project on our
building a couple of weeks ago
and finally completed a pro-
ject he was working on, and
arrived here Monday morning.
And then... that afternoon,
he was involved in an auto ac-
cident on West Haning and
Collins Freeway. A broken
wrist will probably delay the
project a while longer.
Several merchants plan to
participate in the facelifting,
which should improve the ap-
pearance quite a bit.
