Family affair
Joe Bain (left) began his dairy operation in 1932 and is still involved in raising replacement
hefiers. Although he doesn't single-handedly run a dairy any longer, his family is still active in the
industry. Son Joe Jr. (second from left) still runs the dairy with the help of his sons Keith and
Stanley Paul. Still waiting in the wings is yet another generation of Bains who may keep up the
family dairy business, Eva, and two-year-old Leslie. The Bains were among several families and
retired operators honored at Monday's opening of the annual Hopkins County Dairy Festival,
which continues throughout the week.

Sulphur Springs police are
Investigating a theft about 7:30
pjn. Monday from the Kroger

Patrolman Alton Mitchell’s
report, a man came into the
store and requested money
orders in the amounts of $197,
$189, $196 and $84.50.
When the teller had the
money orders ready, she gave
them to the man who gave her a

School officials hunting the
names of prospective first
grade students for the 1980-81
year issued a call for help from
parents last week and then
turned up 59 “missing” names
within their own resources.
A list of 146 prospective first
grade students were published
in The News Telegram Sunday
and parents had been asked to
call if any names were missing.
When a flood of calls came in
Monday, it was learned that
lists compiled from census
efforts at Travis and Houston
schools had somehow missed in
the combined compilation.
The 59 additions boost the
total to 205, with others ex-
pected to be added from those
accidentally overlooked or by
new residents of the district.
The additional students,
whose names were not
previously published, include:
Renee Aguilar, Cristina D.
Bouland, Marianne Campbell,
Michelle Churchman, Heath
Colley, Jared Crain, Margaret
Crute, Jeri J. Davis, Elizabeth
Dawson, Shelley D. Dodd.
