missioners during their work
session held before the regular
meeting and said that he was
interested in obtaining the
franchise to operate a taxi
service.
Interim City Mangager

terest in the franchise but that

present at the meeting. He said
that all interested persons had
been invited to speak at the

United Fund directors named
Six new directors were nominated and
elected to the Hopkins County United Fund
at a meeting in the community room of
First National Bank Thursday. They are
C. Glynn Lowe, Vaden Vichey, Patsy Neal,
Shirley Moore, Mack White and Janice
Mitchell.
Holdover directors are Coy Vicars,
president; Rex Hargrave, campaign
chairman; Joe Bob Burgin, Linda Carrier,
Tim Kelty and Kelly Bradford.
The board accepted the resignations of
Norman Strange, who said his business is
requiring more of his time, and Jean
Flora, who reported her health dictated
her decision.
Vicars announced that the Allocation
Committee will meet June 24-25-26 to hear
appeals for participation in the United
Fund for the upcoming year. The meetings
tentatively were set at First National
Bank's community room at 7 p.m. on the
three days.
Named to the Allocations Committee are
Shirley Moore, chairman; Hargrave,
Lowe, Mrs. Neal, Rod Henderson, Gaither
Day, Ed Rosemon, Chad Cable, Richey,
Kenneth Cockrum, Barbara McKenzie and
Betty Chapman.
Vicars noted that Charlotte Lewis had
been retained as the secretary to handle
United Fund office duties. The files and
office equipment have been moved to her
home temporarily. Vicers said that it was
hoped an office would be offered soon.
The financial statement given the
directors showed that $46,824.05 was
pledged to the 1980 campaign. As of April
29, $41,427.40 had been paid. This leaves a
balance due of $5,396.65, mostly from
people using payroll deductions.

would be launched in October.
The board approved action to drop
directors who miss two consective
meetings without valid excuse.

briefed the members on several items,
including a recent Internal Revenue
Service check.
Present for the meeting were Vicers,

“I feel that I can make a good
living for my wife and family,”
he told the commission and said
that he had already checked
into insurance requirements,
located two 1978 vehicles and
was ready to apply for his radio
license.
He said it would be a family
operation and to begin, he and
his father, Bruce McLarry,
would be doing the driving.
McLarry said that he would
operate the service from about
5:30 a.m. until about midnight
and at proposed rates about 50
cents higher than those in effect
at the time that the previous
operation folded.
He said the increased costs
would be necessary due to the
increasing cost of gasoline and
upkeep of vehicles.
Gty Attorney Tommy Allison
told the commission that the
franchise had been given to
Dewitt Loyd until 1984 and that
he had turned it over to James
Wilburn with the approval of
former City Manager Lee
Vickers.
He suggested that McLarry
contact Wilburn and simply
transfer the franchise to the
McLarrys and that it would be
valid until 1984 if the com-
mission approved.
Allison said that the rates
were set by ordinance and
would take about 30 days to be
changed if the the franchise
could be transferred.
McLarry came back to the
meeting just as the regular
session was about to start and
informed the commissioners
that he had obtained the
franchise.
Taxi service in Sulphur
Springs will resume on June 2 if
McLarry posts the required
bond and provides insurance
coverage.
Commissioners, sitting as a
Board of Exception, quickly
approved the use of a tem-
porary building for a period not
to exceed 18 months on the
Hopkins County Memorial
Hospital grounds.
The building will house Dr.
Phil White, an ophthalmologist
who is moving to town.
Glenn Kenley, Memorial
Hospital administrator, told
members of the Planning and
Zoning Commission earlier that
the plans call for Dr. White to
have his clinic built within that
18-month period.
Commissioners disapproved
a request for an exception for
work at the First Presbyterian
Church at 129 College.
Enos L. Ashcroft III told the
commissioners that the church
was planning a new education
building and that due to in-
flation, its cost had not allowed
for the inclusion of a Fellowship
Hall.
He said that members of his
Sunday school class had
volunteered their services and
built a Fellowship Hall into the
basement of the existing
building.
Ascroft said that the
volunteer workers had built two
partition walls and replaced old
wiring including a breaker box
and grounded outlets.
