THAT
★★★★★★★★★
Boots Tolbert and Sam
Wortham were out early Tu- .
esday morning, on the way to
the lake. According to Sam,
they were going fishing, but
not for fish. Seems Walt En-
loe dropped a lantern into the
lake the night before, and the
pair were going to try to find
it before it ran out of fuel
and the light went out.
Two lashes with a wet
noodle!
Despite a report in the
Enterprise last week that
the City of Howe had an in-
come for the month of 43,862,
the check writers over at city
hall inform us that they still
ended the month in the red.
Actually, income for the
month was $3,862, instead of
$43,862. That 4 was supposed
to have been a dollar sign.
And there’s one other minor
misprint that needs to be cor-
rected before football season,
so we’ 11 do it this weekm
Howe Bulldogs will play
Prosper on October 23—=
and they’ll only play them one
game—not threes even though
we^had it listed that way in
the schedule.
We can place the blame
for these mistakes on our-
new assistant janitor, howev-
er, for she should have been
reading proof when we had
her answering the telepohone,
writing stories, keeping books,
setting type, and a few other
minor details which go into
publishing a newspaper.
Incidentally, Mary Lankford
has bpen in the newspaper
‘"Hhe'ltere for the past month,
but we didn‘t mention it be-
fore until we thought she
might be a permanent fix-
ture.
Can; ever tell. We have
seen people decide on some
other career after a few days
of this business.
There’s one other duty Mary
has that we forgot to men-
tion until now. She is also
head of the complaint depart-
ment.—
Do you suffer with falling
hair?
If so, Howe’s two barber
shops, operated by Cadar Per-
kins and Shirley Stephenson,
have a remedy.
And it will keep your hair
from falling.
Both shops now have a vac-
cuum sysytem to attach to
their clippers, and the things
almost eliminate the need for
the old fashioned aprons.
Hair clipped by the bar-
bers disappears up the vac-
cuum hose, which sure helps
out around the collar during
this hot weather.
The new farm hand was
awakened at 5:00 a.m. by the
boss, who announced that it
was time to milk the cows.
“Are they wild,” asked the
greenhorn.
“No, why1“ the farmer in-
quired.
“Then why do we have to
sneak up on them in the dark?”
About 70 dogs and a few
cats received rabies immuni-
zation shots last Saturday at
the voc. agriculture building,
under a program, or ordinan-
ce adopted recently by the C
ity Council..
Pets have until the first
of July to comply with the
ordinance, and most of them
have to have help from own-
ers in obtaining the vaccine.

The impact of Agriculture on
our nation’s economy is un-
limited. For example, farm
production uses more petro-
leum than any other single
industry, and there are more
people engaged in agriculture
than in any other industry.
Five times more than in the
automobile industry for inst-
ance.

culture to our entire nation.

Applications For
Low Rent Units
Being Taken
Howe Housing Authority B-
oard is presently taking appli-
cations for low rent housing
units here. Persons who might
be interested in renting one of
the units are urged to obtain
an application blank, available
at the City HalL Number of ap-
plications received will deter-
mine the number of units all-
otted to Howe, officials said.
The Board of Commissioners
of the Housing Authority of
the City of Howe, at the dir-
ection of the Howe City Co-
uncil, has submitted an app-
lication for a program res-
ervation to construct several
additional low-rent housing u-
nits designed specifically for
the elderly to serve the ci-
tizens of Howe and the sur-
rounding community. The im-
portant move must now be
made to determine the num-
ber of dwellings Howe needs.
This determination is made
by the number of applications
made by all citizens age 60
or over who are of the op-
inion that when the apartm-
ents are completed they wo-
uld be interested in renting
one of them.
The application forms may
be obtained from the City H-
all, or the Howe State Bank.
Anyone signing this form is
not obligated to take an ap-
artment-neither is the Hous-
ing Authority obligated to rent
an apartment to an applicant,
Second Session
Scheduled For
Pet Vaccinations
Persons who failed to have
their pets vaccinated for Ra-
bies last Saturday will have
another opportunity before the
July 1 deadline, city officials
said this week.
Second vaccination session
has been scheduled for Sat-
urday morning, June 27, from
10 a.m. until noon at the vo-
cational Agriculture building
Second round of the pro-
gram was set up due to a lar-
ge number of persons “for-
getting’ ’ the date last Saturday.
Numbered tags are issued
with the vaccinations, to be
worn by the pet, which also
serves as identification.
Around 80 animals rece-
ived the vaccine*

The title of the bill— Aj>
propriations for the Depart-
ment of Agriculture and Re-
lated agencies, 1971—does not
reveal the full scopeof the
measure. In fact, it sounds
deceptively Rmited.
FOR ME? — This German Shepherd wasn't actually as scared
as he appears last Saturday prior to receiving his Rabies vac-
cination. Around 80 animals received the vaccine, with another
session scheduled June 23.
