HOWE’s
THAT
★★★★★★★★★
On May 1 Bob Gooding
answered a “Contact 8 ” re-
quest on Channel 8 News th-
at prompted hundreds of vi-
ewers to request a copy of
a script entitled “The Mis-
sing Day”. Mrs. Donald Ma-
ples asked “Contact 8” why
an article such as the one
she included with her request
never made news on televi-
sion or the larger neewspap-
ers. Mrs. Maples’ text im-
pressed Bob Gooding to such
an extent that he decided to
read it and gave appropriate
credits and thanks to the Dun-
canville, Plainview, Longview
and Post newspapers.
It concerns a missing day
in time discovered and relat-
ed by Harold Hill, president
of the Curtis Engine Company
in Baltimore, Maryland, and
a consultant in the space pro-
gram. Mr. Hill stated that
he thought one of the most-
amazing things that God had
for us today happened to our
astronauts and space scient-
ists at Green Belt, Maryland.
They were trying to deter-
mine the position of the sun,
moon and planets 100 years
and 1000 years from now. In
order to do this they had to
plot the orbits through past
centuries.
They ran the computer
measurement back and forth
over the centuries and sud-
denly it came to a halt. The
computer signaled that there
was something wrong either
with the information fed into
it or with the results compa-
red to the standards. They c-
alled it the service depart-
ment to check it out and f-
ound nothing technically wr-
ong. The computer still came
up with the same discrepancy
.... a day was missing in s-
pace in elapsed time. The
scientist were dumfounded. T-
here was no answer.
One of the team remem-
bered a reference to the sun
standing still in the Bible.
Upon checking, they found in
the Book of Joshua a pretty
“ridiculous” statement for a-
nybody who has “common s-
ense”. According to the Sc-
ripture, Joshua was concer-
ned because he was surrou-
nded by the enemy and if
darkness fell they would ov-
erpower him, so Joshua ask-
ed the Lord to make the sun
stand stilL “So the sun stood
still in the midst of heaven
and hasted not to go down
a whole day.” (Joshua 10:13)
There was the missing day!
They checked the com-
puters going back to the ti-
me it was written and found
it was close but not close
enough. The elapsed time that
was missing.back in Joshua’s
day was 23 hours and 20 mi-
nutes... not a whole day. They
again read the passage and
there it said, “about (appro-
ximately) a whole day.” This
still did not account for the
other missing 40 minutes. The
40 minutes had to be found
because in projecting spscial
orbits it would be multiplied
many times over.
Again the man remem-
bered somewhere in the Bi-
ble that it said the sun went
backwards, In 2nd Kings, C-
hapter 20, Hezekiah did not
believe him and asked for
a sign as proof. Isaiah said,
“... shall tiie shadow go for-
ward ten degrees, or go back
ten degrees?” Hezekiah rep-
lied, “It is a li^it thing for
the shadow to go down ten
degrees: nay, but let the sh-
adow return backward ten d-
egrees.” (2 Kings: 20:9-10)
Ten degrees is exactly 40
minutes.

THE HOWE ENTERPE. THURSDAY. JUNE U. 1970- VOL. VI—No. 47
Area Citizens
Request Howe
Dump Permits
Howe is not alone in lo-
cating a permanent dumping
area, a resident of the Far-
mington community revealed
to City Council at the regu-
lar monthly meeting last Th-
ursday night.
Arvil Morrison appeared
before council representing s-
everal Farmington citizens,
requesting a flat fee or some
other method be set up wh-
ereby residents of Farmington
could dump in the present
Howe site. Council imposed
an ordinance regulating dump-
ing at the leased site sever-
al months ago, when the fa-
cility began reaching its cap-
acity. Prior to the ordinance,
trash had been deposited from
several area towns, including
Sherman, which charges a rate
for all dumping in the Sher-
man disposal system.
Council explained the lo-
cal situation to Morrison, and
promised to contact the lessee
of the dump area in regard
to increasing the refuse th-
rough special permits for du-
mping. According to state re-
gulations, Howe will have to
provide a landfill system with-
in the near future. State re-
gulation has been imposed as
an anti-polution measure.
In reports to council, mem-
bers were informed that the
meter on the new sewer line
#in the joint project with Sh-
erman is now in use; that
the city had received a letter
from the Sherman City Att-
orney inquiring if “August or
September would be agreeable
for the hearing on the boun-
dary dispute between the two
cities,” involving property in
the north part of town; and
that repairs to the old wa-
ter well had cost in excess
of $2,800, after damage cau-
sed# by sand was discovered
when the casing and pipe was
pulled for installation of val-
ves to prevent the sand from
entering storage tanks. In a
financial report, receipts of
43, 862 were listed, with ex-
penditures for the month of
$8,253, most of which was for
street repairs. Mayor Wor-
tham also read a request for
dedication of city property n-
ear the old water well for
a city park, particularly for
youth baseball. The request
was referred to the Park C-
ommittee, headed by Council-
man Jimmy Don McMillion.
Bids were read for gas-
oline for city vehicles, with
the city furnishing storage f-
acilities . Low bids was 16.5
cents per gallon plus five c-
ents state tax. City present
has ei$it vehicles. No action
was taken.
Information was received
-from Low-Rent Housing Auth-
ority in regard to proposed
project for more of the st-
ructures here. Forms are av-
ailable at the city hall for
persons interested in renti-
ng one of the units. Number
of applicants will determin-
e the number of units to be
built/here.
Council also entered con-
tract with the county for ru-
ral fire protection for which
the local department is paid
$650.00 per year.

CITY ENGINEERS
COMPLETE
THE HOWE PLAN
Final phase of “The H-
owe Plan” by the engineer-
ing firm of Fowler and Gr-
afe Inc. was completed Tue-
sday night when representati-
ves of the firm met with the
Howe Planning Commission,
City Council and members of
Van Alstynes boards. The me-
eting also was the comple-
tion of the plan for the city
of Van.
Purpose of the plan is
to provide for orderly growth
of the city, with community
analysis, land use planning,
transportation planning, com-
munity facilities (schools, p-
arks and recreation and pu-
blic buildings) Public utilit-
ies and capital improvements.
Also, camoletion of the p-
lan qualifies the two towns
for federal grants for the a-
bove improvements, in add-
ition to others.
Larry McWhorter, eng-
ineer for the firm, told the
group Tuesday that “I have
been working on plans simi-
lar to these for the past two
years, but I have seen more
interest and enthusiasm by H-
owe and Van Alstyne mem-
bers than any other place.
It is obvious you intend to use
the plan for the organized
growth of ypur cities, and not
just to obtain the grants. Also
you have shown an interest
in the people already living
in your cities.”
Included in books distri-
buted to members, were re-
commendations for ordiances
regulating problems encount-
ered in growth, vicinity maps
population density charts sh-
owing where the heavier pop-
ulation is istuated at the pre-
sent. and areas wherq it is
likely to increase; condition
of surrent structures; exist-
ing land use and recommen-
dation for
dations for land use in var-
ious areas of the city; thor-
oughfare plan and existing s-
treets; school and park plan,
with recommendations for lo-
cations of future schools and
parks; water supply system
amd projected needs and o-
thers.
City Attorney E.C. Green
also present for the meeting
told members that “This is
not the end of your job. Y ou
now have a detailed plan with
which to guide the growth of
