It was photo time this week
of the eight baseball teams in
Howe, and while at one of
the games waiting for the pla}
ers, I watched a couple of
innings of a Pee Wee game.
If you haven't Witnessed one
of these game, you evidently
don't have any boys in the six
to eight bracket. The young-
sters put their best into all the
games. And setting those
basketball type scoring rec-
ords are something else, too.
Like, maybe 32-28.
But, that's probably the way
the pros began their careers.
Incidentally, we haven't as
yet been able to get all those
100-plus youngsters assembled
at one time. Other team pho-
tos will be published next
week, if and when we can
get the boys all in one place.

You now have three chanc-

or is undergoing another re-
modeling program this week,
and there will be three loan
offices, all in a row, (guess
the previous two were loan
offices—that's where we are

At least, I feel my chances
are increased by one third on
the next loan application.

A report from Westwood
Manor Apartments recently re-
vealed that around 85 fami-
lies are now residing in the
100-unit complex. And that's
85 more families than lived
in the area about a year ago.
That takes quite a bit more
drinking water, and with the
"heat o summer" not even
here yet, we may be wishing
for a few drops of rainfall, in-
stead of having too much as
we have so far this year.

Funds allocated for such pro-

least for the present, to go
for another water problem—
Watergate.
That one minor problem al
lone is costing us a bundle.

It's now out! And it was out
before, too.
About this boy riding double
on a friend's motorcycle, and
as they approached an inter-
section, this motorcycle hit
a dip, and how this boy rid-
ing double left the driver rid-
ing single, almost. He bounce
off to the ground, or asphalt,
still holding on to the cycle,
and, with cars approaching
from both directios at the in-
tersection, held on and on,
until he needed a retread
where he met the pavement.
A fast return trip home
kept the problem under wraps
however.

Shirley Belden evidently
doesn't like those Band Boost-
er snow cones. She parked in
front of the stand Tuesday, got
out of her car, bought a coup-
le, got back in the car, then
ran over the stand, almost.
Actually, she only moved
it back a couple of feet.
