Cuff Notes
— Assembled by —
JOE WOOSLEY
I
Brief notes: Annie Mae Pickett recently ended a 41-year career
with J.C. Penney Company’s local store and departed the down-
town scene, but her brother, Billy, remains active...He’s racked up
26 years with Marshall’s and is looking forward to many
more...This could be termed meddling: Morris County officials
were notified recently of the approval of a federal grant in the
amount of $478,000 to help start a commercialotting plant near
Naples...The money would be loaned to The Prfflbng Factory,
formed by Milton Shumake, Gerald Hampton and Mike Poe...Dan
Durham has been kidded since his name appeared under the pic-
ture of Harold Jones in the newspaper the other day...After the
incident, a picture of Tom Selleck, recently voted the best-looking
of the television actors, appeared on the bulletin board at the
school. Somehow Dan Durham’s name also was under that picture
too...The Rusk Independent School District .recently sold $2.9
million in bonds at an interest rate of 8.5391, which indicates a more
favorable market for these types of financing for construction
projects...The last school bonds sold in Hopkins County went for
12.82 percent.
More notes: The Rev. Jack McNabb, whose wife is the former
Sandra Bays of Sulphur Springs, has been transferred to Seagoville
after several years as pastor of the Methodist Church in Mount
Vemon...Their son Marie has won several awards as a budding
young track star.„Sammy Attlesey, political reporter for The
Dallas Morning News, was forced to bow out of an appearance at
the Career Day event sponsored by Sulphur Springs High School
Friday. An assignment conflict forced Attlesey to forego a visit to
his old schooL.Ronny SteWart, an auctioneer who knows about
animals, says that good milk cows are in strong demand and with
some record individual high prices recently posted ..But the cows
that don’t rate highly are less attractive at the market
place...Stewart recently sold one of the Rev. James Edge's grade
cows at a figure that probably cracked all local records.
Last notes: The Charles (Buck) Fleets are in the process of
erecting a couple of buildings for their expanding ice business on
property in the Hatchetville community...But they may not get to
transfer operations until later as the bagged ice demand normally
soars as spring arrives. Their ice is manufactured in Sulphur
Springs and distributed throughout this area...The firm is in its
fifth year and obviously doing quite well...A rig being used to drill a
Smackover test near the Hopkins-Delta county line is expected to
be moved to another Hopkins County location when its present job
is completed. No information has been released on the well being
drilled adjacent to South Sulphur River, but observers believe it
should be finished soon...Bruce Fielden, Hopkins County’s Citizen
of the Year, keeps busy as superintendent of the Sulphur Bluff
School, but he says flu-like symptoms have slowed his activities in
recent days...It’s that time of the year. Local clubs sponsoring
entries and floats in the Dairy Festival are beginning to plunge into
their work. '

hospital record recorded before
age 5 or a religious record of
birth or baptism recorded
before age 5. Foreign born
applicants should provide their
immigration or naturalization
documents as well.
Identity can be established
by such records as driver’s
license, State identity card,
report card, marriage record,
work badge or building pass,
labor or fraternal organization
record, draft card or military
I.D., U.S. passport, newspaper
birth announcement, adoption
record, court order for change
of name, chufch membership
or confirmation record, welfare
case record, medical or
hospital record, vaccination
certificate, insurance policy,
day care or nursery school
record, Boy or Girl Scout
membership, or any other
document showing identifying
data such as physical
