the location is excellent.
THERE ARE basic requirements
that a community must have
offer in order to attract industry
according to the booklet; tbe list-
includes (1) a community friendly
to industry, (2) raw and manufac-
tured materials. (3) reasonable
taxes, (4) good labor supply, (5)
adequate fuel or power, (6) ade-
quate bousing. (7) transportation,
and (8) abundant water.
FIRE DEPARTMENT members
are disturbed over the manner
which the public crowds in after
them when going to a fire. Some-
times it would be impossible for
the trucks, to turn and retrack
their path to tbe nearest fire plug
if it was necessary to hook up: The
fire company appreciates the in
terest of the public an* its willing-
ness to help, but they ask that you
give the trucks five minutes' to
get to the fire and in place, and
then do not park closer than
block to the fire.
LANDING of the Marines in Leb-
anon is naturally being watched
by everyone in the U. J3. Most of
us have very little knowledge __
the feelings and problems in this
part of the world. Many feel that
this nation’s policy in this section
has not been positive and firm
enough in the past; let us hope
that those in charge have made
the right step in coming to the
aid of one of the few pro-western
nations in this area. Often a firm
move, as has been taken by the
U. S., is the only way to stop the
underhanded working of the com
munist backed group.
Sivils Completes Recruit Training
Paul L. Sivils, son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. M. Sivils of Route 2, Clif-
ton, graduated from recruit train-
ing May 16 at the Naval Training
Center, San Diego, California. The
graduation exercises, marking the
end of nine weeks of “boot camp,”
included a full dress parade and
review before military officials and
civilian dignitaries. In nine weeks
of instruction, tbe “raw recruit”
is developed into a Navy Blue
jacket, ready for duty with the
fleet.
Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Krueger
and son, Jimmy, of Olney stopped
for a brief visit in Clifton Monday
while en route to visit with the
Johnny Kruegers in Temple and to
Austin where they planned to make
arrangements for their son to en-
ter The University of Texas next
fall. The Kruegers farmed near
Clifton until 1934 when they moved
near Olney.
