Brief notes: Rumors — both
political and business — are
making the rounds in Sulphur
Springs this week. One rumor
which apparently is well-
founded indicates that the
ownership of the Spring Village
Shopping Center is about to
change hands...One local in-
vestor, rumors say, had offered
a cool |1 million for the layout
but reportedly came up about 10
percent off the mark...It’U take
a report out of Austin and the
Democratic Executive Com-
mittee to firm up a political
race rumor making the
rounds...With the deadline for
announcing for public offices
just a week away, it’s a pretty
safe bet to expect a few more
local candidates to get into the
action...Several potential
candidates have delayed put-
ting up the necessary |300 to get
a name on the ballot until just
before the Feb. 4
deadline?..Charles Wright, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Willie Joe
Wright of Sulphur Springs, has
returned from an assignment in
Japan and thereabouts with the
air wing of the Marine Corps.
Incidentally, the young jet
pilot’s name has been placed on
the promotion list and he’ll soon
be sporting captain's bars.
More notes: When Milbum
Searls, son of Arthur Searls of
Sulphur Springs, reached the
required age level to retire as a
pilot with Pan-American Air-
ways, he and his wife, who is a
college professor in Tampa,
Fla., were given a going-away,
round-the-world trip...They’re
about in the middle of the two-
months adventure in Australia
today...Other highlights in-
cluded New Zealand and
they’re heading for the Fiji
Islands, Singapore, Honolulu,
India and Germany before
climaxing the trip. Searls
served in World War II as a
Navy pilot before going with
Pan-Am...Mr. and Mrs. Earl
Bacon of Sulphur Springs once
lived in Afghanistan, which
currently is a hot news spot
because of the Soviet in-
vasion...Mrs. Bacon described
the area in which they lived —
near the desert— as “dread-
ful.”...She added, “We had nice
living quarters (built by Brown
and Root) and we got our food
from a commisary in
Pakistan”...She said not
knowing Die language was a
handicap while living there
(although her husband had an
interpreter for his work). They
were aware even then of
overflights by Soviet aircraft
Last notes: The Dairyman
magazine, with editorial offices
in Corona, Calif., in its January
issue carries an in-depth story
about the late O.M. Plummer,
father of Roger S. Plummer Sr.
of Sulphur Springs. The late Mr.
Plummer, who is to be en-
shrined as a dairy pioneer in
Hoard’s Museum Hall of Fame
section at Fort Atkinson, Wis.,
in September, headed the
Pacific International Livestock
Exposition as secretary-
manager for many years. He
was selected as the Country
Gentleman’s “Man of the Year
in Agriculture in 1939” and was
a leading spokesman in the
Northwest for the dairy and
livestock industry...The News-
Telegram, in a manner of
speaking, has a small captive
audience. That is, there are
nine inmates in the Texas
Department of Corrections
listed as subscribers to-their
hometown newspaper...First
National Bank in Mount Vernon
has announced plans to offer
8,000 shares to the public.
