JOE WOOSLEY
Looking back at April...
•Area people, events in the news
Public Notico
Brief notes: No quick an-
swers are expected, but
hopefully a program now
developing in the United States
winsome day bring about ways
to prevent crib deaths...The
program, recently launched by
the Sudden Infant Death Syn-
drome foundation, is striving to
obtain basic information on
which to build toward learning
die cause and then finding the
solution to crib deaths...Justice
of Peace Bill Bauman of
Sulphur Springs, who has been
called to hold inquests for three
crib deaths in less than two
years, said a foundation
representative recently visited
with him and explained their
program...He said the
representative told him the
foundation, through a grant,
was now funding the expense
for the autopsies of the victims
so that more data can be ob-
tained to build for the
future...In the future, should
crib deaths occur here, Judge
Baucom is planning to routinely
call for autopsies unless
.families object to the
[procedure...He had been
hesitant to order autopsies in
the past because of the con-
siderable expense that would
have been charged to the
county.
veteran editor with the San
Diego, Calif., Evening Tribune
joined 17 other journalists,
including several from Canada
and England, on a tour of
tourist attractions in Dallas and
East Texas...After the tour
broke up, he dropped by to see
Us parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl
Bromley, and to visit with
friends...Richard received a
few checks from The News-
Telegram during his school
days as a pinch-hit
newsman...Later, he graduated
from the University of Houston
and started his climb up the
journalist ladder at
Texarkana...He was with the
Houston Chronicle before an-
swering the call to California 14
years ago...Brumley enjoyed
the Texas tour, admiring
Reunion Tower in Dallas along
with other sites...And he found
the nearby first Monday trades
day in Canton a fascinating
experience... He also was
mighty impressed with the
beauty of Thanksgiving Square
in Dallas.
More notes: Richard
Bromley, who had Lawrence
Bramblett, Harris Ardis and
others as Ms classmates when
be graduated from Sulphur
Springs High School, was here
during the weekend to see his
parents after handling an
assignment in Texas...The
Last notes: An application for
a charter for a national bank in
Mount Vernon has been
filed...Applying for the charter
were Joe Dan Coe of Arlington,
Harry K. Myers of Quinlan and
Billy Norman Campbell, J.
Wayne Morris, Gregory Carr,
Michael Wess Jordan, Thomas
Donald Ramsay, Bill D. Stinson
and Dr. Otto Charles Walling
Jr., all of Mount Ver-
non...They’ve proposed to erect
a building at the southwest
corner of Interstate 30 and
Highway 37 if the charter is
granted...Richard Garrison’s
responsibilities on the Texas
Christian University football
coaching staff have been
shifted. His primary duty now is
concerned with coaching the
running backs...Richard, who
played high school football at
Cooper and then at Baylor
University, is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. S.T. Garrison of Sulphur
Springs...Damon Floyd, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Davis Floyd, has
been named the outstanding
senior boy at Cooper High
School. He has excelled in one-
act play, speech, basketball,
scholarship and golf. He par-
ticipated in the state golf meet
for his club the past week. His
mother, as many will recall, is
the former Joyce Johnson,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ben
Johnson of Sulphur Springs...By
the way, Damon has an ex-
cellent golf coach — his father,
who once coached the Cooper
girls basketball team to the
Class A state cham-
pionship...After Cooper won the
title and North Hopkins
grabbed the Class B state title,
the two teams played a benefit
game in Sulphur Springs for the
United Fund and packed the
gymnasium with a record-size
crowd.
