Cuff Notes
— AiiinUid by —
JOE WOOSLEY
Brief notes: Billie Anderson,
retired dairyman and world
traveler, must be making a real
impression with granddaughter
Melissa Bryant, a talkative two-
year-old youngster... After
returning from a visit with her
grandparents the other day, she
“cracked up” her parents,
Harold and Marynell Anderson
Bryant, when she referred to
her grandfather as "Big Bad,
Billie”...Incidentally, the
Bryant’s new home in the
Gafford Chapel community is
just about to the moving in
stage...Attorney Raymond
Johnson is studying the law
concerning the next tax ap-
praisal district to be established
in Hopkins County. He is one of
the five members elected to the
board, which will be plowing
new ground when it begins
operation soon...County Clerk
Mary Attlesey says that her
office experiences a slight rush
for marriage licenses when
school is out, in June and
around Christmas. The basic
cost of a marriage license
remain^ unchanged ' at
$7.5|8v.It’s a good deal more
expensive for divorces. District
Clerk Ola Beckham charges a
filing fee several times the cost
of a marriage license. That
doesn’t include the attorney’s
/
More note*: Many people
from Sulphur Springs can
remember hardly slowing down
as they drove to Dallas and
through the little town of
Rowlett before Interstate 30
changed the traffic pat-
tern...But Rowlett has not faded
from the picture. It has a
weekly newspaper now — The
Rowlett Record — which, in-
cidentally, is printed in the
Echo Publishing Company
plant...In this week’s edition of
The Record, one item listed 63
building permits issued in
December projecting struc-
tures costing $2,567,680. Fifty-
six of the permits were for Fox
& Jacobs houses...The latest
edition of The Texas Almanac
lists the population of Rowlett
at 4,016...Don Qualls, in-
cumbent sheriff of Franklin
County and a former Sulphur
Springs police officer, has
drawn an opponent in his bid for
re-election. C. H. (Pete)
Hollingsworth, chief of police in
Mount Vernon, has joined
Qualls in announcing for the
position...Wood County wound
up the year with a surprising
balance of $1.3 million, after
earlier estimates had projected
only $320,000...Shirley Johnson,
tax assessor-collector for
Franklin County, hopes to have
tax statements in the mail by
Jan. 21. The county’s
statements have been delayed
while the new appraisal
program was carried out, with
assessments now based on 100
percent valuations*
a
Last notes: The Sulphur
Springs School District his
roughly 250 acres on its various
campuses. In the growing
season, it takes considerable
time to mow or shred grass not *
worn bare by heavy foot traf-
fic...Nothing new has been
heard about the proposed
Piazza Shopping Center in
Sulphur Springs since a group .
of investors purchased a tract
on the east side of town. Some
dirt has been removed from the
site, but that was included in
agreements prim' to the sale of
the property...uitch investors
purchased $75,000 in shares for
the 36-acpe proposed
development; snapping them up
all within two weeks after
representatives had visited
Sulphur Springs, according to a
fact sheet printed in Dutch and
translated by a local
linguist...Two new food
establishments are about ready
to enter the business field in
Sulphur Springs. Joe Cerretani,
city building inspector, said
their buildings were complete,
or almost complete, with only a
few minor arrangements to be
made before they open.
Como-Pickton schools
increase meal prices
Beginning Monday, Jan. 21,
students and teachers par-
ticipating in the breakfast and
lunch program at Como-
Pickton schools will find the
cost of eating higher.
Breakfast prices will be in-
creased five cents, from 30 to 35
cents, and lunches from 50 cents
to 60 cents. Teachers will find
their cost for lunches increased
from 84 cents to 94 cents.
The action to increase the
lunch room prices came during
the regular monthly meeting of
the trustees of the Como-
Pickton Independent School
District with Joe Pat Jordan,
Jack Bowen, Ronnie Hux,
David Carr, Travis Cook and
Newman Bradford in at-
tendance. Jerry Mays was
absent.
Karen Gorham was employed
as an elementary teacher to fill
a leave of absence for the
remainder of the 197980 school
year at the state minimum
salary schedule.
The trustees approved a
motion to suspend board policy
on the use of the gymnasium
and permit the sorority in Como
to have a tournament, with the
proceeds go to the elementary
school.
Approval of previous minutes
and authorization for payment
of bills were other items han-
dled before the meeting was
adjourned.
