VOLUME I
HOWE, GRAYSON COUNTY, TEXAS, JUNE 25, 1964
NUMBER 53
Chamber of Commerce for Howe
SHOWER
Miss Linda June Pool,
hride-elect of Rex W. Jones,
was honored with a kitchen
shower recently in the home
of Mrs. Earl King and her
daughter Donna Dee King.
The refreshment table was
laid in an Italian cut-work
doth. The centerpiece was a
of net and flowers centered
by a bride and groom. Nap-
kins and other table appoint-
ments carried out mint green
and white, the colirs chosen
by the bride-elect.
Miss Donna Dee King led
the group in a series of games.
Sixteen guests were present.
The wedding is scheduled
for July 17th in the First
Methodist Church of Howe.
JUVENILE
DELINQUENCY
Juvenile delinquency, on the
increase pretty nearly every-
where in America, is declining
in Montana. Why? Montana
scrapped its Juvenile Courts
two years ago, instead upon
dealing with all offenders, re-
gardless of age, in open court.
Their names, addresses, cn-
mes, parents are all complete-
ly reported in the newspapers
The publicity has proven a
genuine deterrent to crime.
Juvenile felony cases in Mon-
tana are down 49%, traffic
cases 75%. Judge Lester
Loble, who introduced the
“treatment like adults” prac-
tice, says: “The system is
effective because we lecture
offenders in open court so
that their cases can be fully
reported. It passes responsi-
bility on to the parents. They
can no longer hide behmd
the anonymous charges which
used to go on the record in
the juvenile court.”
Mr. and Mrs. James Stephen Randall will be at home on
Howe, Route 1 untill fall when they will move, to Commerce
to continue their education at East Texas State College.
They have returned from a wedding trip to the Gulf
Coast. The couple was married June 14th in the First
Baptist Church here.
Mrs. Randall is the former Miss Alice Ann Thompson,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles R. Thompson. Mr.
Randall is the son of Mr. and Mrs. V. C. Randall of Route 1.
Mrs. Ray Selby and dau-
ghter Sandra spent the week
with Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Selby
and Mrs. Marie Waller while
Mr. Ray Selby was attending
the Sixth Industrial Finishing
Exposition, sponsored by the
American Electro Plating So-
ciety in St. Louis, Missouri.
Miss Vickie Finney is
spending the week with her
aunt, Mrs. George Green in
Durant, Oklahoma.
HALL CEMETERY
The Hall Cemetery fund has
bqen placed in the Howe State
Bank and those wishing to
give to the fund for the care
of the cemetery can put their
money to this account there.
All funds are appreciated.
Thanks,
Mrs. R. L. Tolbert,
Secretary & Treasurer,
Route 1, Howe, Texas.
On Thursday night, June
18, a group of men met and
discussed the need for a Howe
business organization of some
kind to promote the interests
of Howe. Only a very few
attended and about all that
was done was to call another
meeting for Monday night to
get a more general cross
section opinion of the citizens
of the town. About twenty
attended the meeting Monday
right and the crowd was
unanamous as to the need for
such an organization. The
question of affiliating with the
East Texas Chamber of Com-
merce (the parent organiza-
tion of this area) was not
decided and need not be for
some time. Other matters
were discussed but the only
things decided for sure were:
(1) to call a general meeting
of the residents of Howe for
Thursday the 25th TONIGHT
in the community room of the
Howe State Bank at 8:00 p.m.
All residents are urged to
attend. (2) In order that the
business might go forth
smoothly and in a business-
like way a temporary chair-
man was selected in the per-
son of Mr. Cleon Hamilton,
with Mr. Fred Halcomb as
vice-chairman and Mr. A. P.
Sloan as temporary secretary.
This is an important meet-
ing and everyone interested
in the progress of Howe is
urged to attend, whether in
business or not, whether you
own your home or not; if you
live in Howe, COME!
WHEN? TONIGHT!
Miss Frances Fielder and
Miss Susan Neary of Arling-
ton, Virginia are visiting Miss

SOCIAL SECURITY
“ Social Security protects
even those people who don’t
think they need its protec-
tion,” Gus Joneis, social secu-
rity district manager at Sher-
man said today, “but some-
times it takes some kind of
tragedy to make people real-*
ize the fact.
“An example of such a
tragedy is the story of Mary
Lee Payne of Springfield,
Tennessee, who died in De-
cember of 1962, while trying
to rescue her children from,
their burning home. Two of
the five children survived, the
youngest, twin boys, and are
now living with their grand-
parents. They are receiving
social security survivors’
benefits every month and will
continue until they reach the
age of 18.
“But Jimmie and Timmie
Payne might not be getting
those benefit payments if their
mother had had her way
while she was working as a
maid. Mary Lee Payne, like
so many young people, could
not believe fhat social secur-
ity would mean anything tc
her and her family, so she
asked her employer not to
take the soeal security tax
out of her wages.
“Mary Lee’s employer, how-
ever, knew that she was re-
quired by law, (as of 1951)
to report her maid’s earnings
and withhold the social secur-
ity tax if she paid her at
least $50 in any one quarter.
And she complied with the
law in spite of Mary Lee’s
request.
“As a result of this, Mrs.
Mary Lee Payne’s two little
boys will have an income! un-
til they reach eighteen. And
their grandfather plans to use*
the money for their education,
The lesson, of course, is plain:
The socal security program
is meant to protect all covered
workers and their famlies—
to replace part of the insome
that might be lost through
retirement, dsability, o r
death.”
Jones emphasized that, al-
though the story recounted
here took place in Tennessee,
it can easily be applied to
conditions that might arise
in Howe.

C o m m e r c e orgainzational
Meeting TONIGHT at the
Howe State Bank.
