The
Howe Enterprise
***************
I can understand a business
having a toUgh time, even
getting into debt. The reason
this happens is because most
businesses have a minimum
expense they can go around,
but have to earn and build the
source of income. Government
has a fixed income, known in
advance. It ought to be able
to operate debt free, it seems
to me/’

“Reading a newspaper trade
publication, we were amused
to run across this letter to the
editor. It was from a publis-
her commenting about news-
paper policy. We think that it
is self-explanatory in itself:
‘In regards to your stories
and letters about free job-want
ed ads, we have made this
our policy for the past five
t \ years. We also offer a free ad
to anyone who wants to give
something away. We believe
a man never needs friends
more than when he’s out of a
job, or has a litter of kittens.
♦ ★
Three lashes with’ a wet
noodle!
We had he name right in
two places, but if you saw on-
ly the picture of “Miss Pep
Squad’’ last week, that was
Cathy McClellan, and not
Carla McClellan.
At least we had the right
family.

Trick and treaters covered
Howe for several hours Satur-
day night, filling candy bags

No serious damage was re-
ported here, as the generation

pranks of yesteryear.

Trustees Study School construction
School board members view-
ed diayrams for additional
classrooms at the elementary
building and of a new cafetor-
ium, prepared by Bill Light-
foot, a Paris architect.
Although no official action
was taken, members discussed
the need for the new building
program, at an estimated cost
of $150,000. Taxpayers approv-
ed a $1,000,000 bond program
here several years ago. Tent-
ative layout shows two new
classrooms and rest room fa-
cilities across the north end
of the existing elementary
and a cafetorium (cafeteria
with auditorium facilities, in-
cluding a stage) in a separate
building west of the new gym.
Lightfoot, seeking the archi-
tectural work on the proposed
construction, emphasized that
the diagrams were “only some
thing to begin with.” Cafetor-
ium was estimated at about
60x100 feet at a cost of around
$14.00 per square fool, while
the additions to the school in-
cluded 3400 square feeet esti-
mated at $15.00 per square
foot. Lightfoot estimated an-
other $18,000 for kitchen equip-,
ment and other necessities.
Ini other matters, the board
approved sale of three lots out
of the Dorchester school pro-
perty;
Awarded air-conditioning ser-
vice contract to Baker Service
company of Howe on a bid of
$25.50 per month for inspection
service;
Increased text book bond
from $1,00 to $3,000.

County road bond issue carries;
Howe votes "no" in light turnout
Howe voters tunned down of FM 1417 from U.S. 75 around
the countywide road bond pro- the east edge of Sherman and
Denison to return to U.S. 75
north of Denison.
Also included are several
farm-market road projects, not-
ably the improvement of FM
120 through Denison and Potts-
boro and on to the Preston Pen-
insula and Lake Texoma.
posal by more than two to
one last Saturday. The issue
passed by a slim majority, to
finance right of way for new
and improved road construc-
tion in the northern part of
the county. Vote here was 35
for and 84 against. Most rural
areas nixed the proposal, with
Sherman and Denison approv-
ing the measure by small mar
gins.
Denison and Sherman were
moderately strongholds for the
bonds, with Denison voting 853
for to 655 against. Denison’s
margin in favor of the bonds
almost equalled the county-wide
margin.
Two Denison boxes opposed
the bond issue, the Fourth Ward /
by a close count and the Fifth |
Ward more decisively. More I
surprising was the large Eighth )
Ward where the bonds gained?;
only a two-vote margin, 167 for T-
to 165 against.
The results also were spotted
in Sherman, where one large
box went heavily against the
bonds. The Sherman totals were
944 for to 704 against.
While not opposing the bonds
outright, Sherman’s Mayor S.E.
Gillespie battled to have the
county bond issue expanded to
include the purchase of U.S.
strips within the corporate limits
of Sherman and Denison.
The fifth Grayson attempt to
vote the highway bonds was the
first under a constitutional
amendment changing the re-
quired majority from two-thirds
to a simple majority.
In much heavier voting in rec-
ent years Grayson came close
at least twice to reaching the
then required two-to-one mar-
gin.
The program approved in
Saturday’s voting provides for
a new controlled-access section
of 75 from Sherman along the
west edge of Denison, comple-
tion of U.S. 82 across the east
half of the county, and extension
