Brief notes: The lure of
dairying has attracted anotbei
employee of the News-Tele-
gram’s production staff.
. . .Dave Elledge of Yantis,
who has performed both as
pressman and in the camera
room, has decided to turn full-
tune dairyman. . .He’ll be
facing a lot of deadlines of a
different nature in days ahead.
. . .Just a few weeks ago,
Rodney Hinton, who was em-
ployed in the commercial
printing area, left the publish-
ing firm to try his hands in
the udder world. . .There have
been rumors of another motel
picking out a site here, but so
far it has not become a mat-
ter of record. . .Como has
been showing growing pains
in recent years. . .One of the
new additions to the Come
scene is a private club in the
downtown area. . .Sulphur
Springs’ busiest young man
may be Joe Bob Bur gin. . .He
recently dunged jobs to be-
come secretary-treasurer of
the big Grocery Supply Com-
pany. . .He also is finding time
to serve as campaign direc-
tor for the United Fund in
Hopkins County. . .Joe Bob
was observed late one day re-
cently with his two young
children shooting a few bas-
ketball goals on a school
ground.
More notes: When some of
his friends kidded Turk Mor-
gan the other day about his
leisure time in retirement, he
came up with a detailed list-
ing of a variety of his activi-
ties. . He admitted to fishing
one w two days a week.
.. Then he noted he prepares
a Sunday School lesson for
delivery on Sunday mornings.
He takes his wife to WMU on
Tuesday and attends prayer
meeting on Wednesday. . He
also has been assisting the
church softball team a couple
of night weekly during the sea-
son. . .He does his own yard
work and handles a few chores
around the house. . .For many
years Turk, who will be 74 on
Sept. 23, worked long hours
daily at the Dairy Queen and
didn’t have much time for
anything else. .Since his re-
tirement, he has especially
enjoyed involvement with the
Martin Springs BaptistChurch.
. . .Despite his busy schedule,
he’s making plans to snare a
few reds at Gilcrest in Gal-
veston County at the first
convenient opportunity. '
Agnes Marie Ardw says she
and her husband Murray
Chapman enjfcy keeping up
with hometown news through
The Hopkins County Echo.
They recently moved into
their new home on the shores
of Lake Ray Hubbard. . .One
of Cooper’s oldest business
establishments recently chang-
ed owners. It is the Hooten
Drug Store, established back
in 1908. . .New owner is Ma-
rion Miller, a pharmacist who
for a while was employed in
Sulphur Springs several years
ago. He is a native of Coop-
er. . .Athletes don’t forget the
good things that happen to
them. Lawrence (Shorty)
France was talking the other
day about playing in the East
Texas League at Palestine
back in the early 1930’s.
. . .Shorty was the shortstop
for the team, which was man-
aged by Bobby Goff, also of
Sulphur Springs and the club’s
second baseman. . .“We led
the league in double plays our
first year there,” France re-
called. . .Bobby, who wound
up a 50-year plus career in
baseball as a scout with the
Geveland Indians, has been
on the ailing list at his home
here for several months.
Interest in city
reaches new high
A surprising number of
people are seeking information
about Sulphur Springs.
David Jackson, executive
vice president of the Chamber
of Commerce, said Monday
that the volume of inquiries
being received by his office is
double that prevailing a year
ago.
The questions cover a broad
variety of interests.
“They come from people who
are planning to move here or
who are thinking about moving
here,” Jackson explained.
“Some want to know about
housing. Some are interested in
starting businesses. Some
concern industrial locations.”
Many want copies of The
News-Telegram to give them
an over-all concept of the
community.
Jackson regards the in-
formation service as an im-*
portant aspect of his
organization and aims at
providing each contact with all
the details available.
He also finds it a time-
consuming assignment,
especially during periods such
as this when the chamber has a
corwded schedule of local
projects that need tending.
Mr. and Mrs. Wylie Steel of
Garland visited in the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Marlin Gafford in
Sulphur Springs Sunday after-
noon.
C. E. Wingo & Son
Last notes: The former
Dee Wilson of Jackson Coun-
ty presented his display of
rocks recently at a Sulphur
Bluff 4-H meeting. He won
state commendations for the
rocks display at a 4-H conven-
tion recently. Fourteen mem-
bers and six leaders attended
the meeting.
