JOE WOOSLEY
MILLIE SHULTZ and Teresa
Carpenter announce the birth of
a niece, Marcy Marie Mc-
Cauley, born at 6:51 p.m.
Sunday, April 4. She weighed
eight pounds, four ounces.
Parents are Danny (Cody) and
Janie McCauley of Sulphur
Springs. Grandparents are Mr.
and Mrs. Vessie McCauley of
Sulphur Springs; Mr. and Mrs.
W.B. Hooten of Sulphur
Springs; and Mr. and Mrs.
Bruce Murray of Calgary,
Alberta Canada.
Brief notes: Best wishes to
Postmaster Lowell Moore of
Cumby as he enters another
phase of his life. During his 21
years as postmaster at Cumby,
he has been an efficient public
servant, accommodating to his
patrons, and has won many
friends along the route... Local
friends report that Margaret
Burt Waits Mullins is planning
to join the corps of the retired.
She is with Bee County Junior
College ... Back in her high
school days in Sulphur Springs,
Margaret Burt broke a barrier,
in a manner of speaking. She
reported some of the Wildcat
athletic events for The News-
Telegram ... Slated to assume
the double role as superin-
tendent and athletic director at
Grand Saline soon is K.W.
(Pete) Turman, currently
superintendent at Graford ...
Turman grew up around
I^donia and obtained a couple
of degrees from ETSU. During
his early career, he served a
stint as girls basketball coach
and a classroom teacher at
Winnsboro High School.
MR. AND Mrs. Michael
Debase of Sulphur Springs
announce the birth of a
daughter at 3:38 a.m. Wed-
nesday, March 31 in Hopkins
County Memorial Hospital.
More notes: A strange
adoption story came to light the
other day. It seems a stray
mink invaded a local business,
appeared to be happy with his
surroundings and made friends
with a young patron ... The
youngster received permission
to adopt the animal, but first it
was carried to a veterinarian
for all of the precautionary
shots ... There was cause for
joy at Mount Pleasant the other
day. It came after bids were
received and opened for a 68-
bed, two-story addition to the
Titus County Memorial
Hospital ... Voters had ap-
proved a $7.5 million bond issue
for the project, but the low bid
came in for $4,811,300 ... Two
more buildings are expected to
be added to the Industrial Park
in Sulphur Springs in a matter
of months, one probably getting
a start much sooner, with an
announcement expected
momentarily ... The other
project should follow for a local
business planning to relocate...
Tickets are being offered for a
fund-raising project for the re-
election of Congressman Sam
Hall on April 17 in Sulphur
Springs.
Last notes: There have been
no official announcements
made, but reports are cir-
culating that a franchise has
been obtained to build a
Holiday Inn in Sulphur Springs.
A site apparently has been
approved for the building on the
east side of Sulphur Springs...
Ranger Aid, a drink developed
by the Texas Rangers baseball
team last year, has a Sulphur
Springs connection. It is bottled
here by Ocean Spray Cran-
berries Inc ... Joe Scott of
Sulphur Springs hopped an
airliner for Arizonia last week
to escort his daughter and
family back to their Texas
home. They have been there
with Keith Moreland during the
spring training with the
Chicago Cubs... Moreland, who
was among several players
following Dallas Green to
Chicago from the Philadelphia
Phillies, has enjoyed a good
spring training, hitting the ball
solidly, and making a strong
‘bid for the starting catcher’s
job. He is moving into his third
full year in the major leagues
after a sparkling career at the
University of Texas and later at
Oklahoma City before being
called up by the Phils.
