The traditional use of fireworks is something that many of all
ages look forward to at this time of the year but Hopkins County
Sheriff John E. Tittle is asking all county residents to resist the
urge or at least be extremely careful as the dryness of the area
makes for extreme fire danger and the danger of possible injury
f not used properly. "It’s also against the law if the use of
Iroworks disturbs someone," he said Thursday morning. While
Marc and Jeral Poskey say that the sale of fireworks is really
moving at their stand located soptlrof Sulphur Springs, they too
are urging careful use of/fnr mini-explosives. Lawmen and
firemen suggest that aiWresidents wanting to see fireworks go
to the Young Farmers Sth Annual Fireworks Display held south
of Sulphur Springs oft College Street beginning at dark Friday
evening. -sun photo
Credit loosens
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
Federal Reserve Board today
announced plans to phase out
all the special credit-control
measures it took in March, as
inflation has eased and the
recession has deepened.
In late May, the board cut the
credit restraints in half, and
today it scheduled a series of
moves to dismantle the
remainder.
DALLAS (AP) — Texans who
already have endured weeks of
blistering temperatures will
find little solace in the latest
bleak prediction from the
National Weather Service.
“It doesn’t look good,” a
weather service spokesman
said. “Our 30-day prognosis
calls for above-normal tem-
peratures and below-normal
precipitation.’’
Residents in at least four
crtfes — Wichita Falls, Dallas,
Houston and Abilene — suf-
fered Wednesday through the
hottest July 2 on record.
The heat wave, which has
sent the mercury past the 100-
degree mark for 10 straight
days, brought temperatures
Wednesday of 114 at Wichita
Falls, 110 at Dallas-Fort Worth,
106 at Abilene and Waco, and
103 at Houston, Austin and San
Antonio.
At the same time, humidity
was 16 percent at Wichita Falls
and Abilene, 21 percent at
Dallas-Fort Worth and 35
percent at Houston.
Temperatures are expected
to reach about 105 the next
couple of days.
Forecasters for the weather
service predicted 100-plus
temperatures for at least one
more week, possibly for the
rest of July.
Wednesday marked the 10th
consecutive day of record-
breaking temperatures at
Dallas-Fort Worth and the
ninth in a row for Wichita Falls.
Weather men looked back to
1911 to find another year with 13
days over 100 degrees.
Highest temperatures*
reached 119 at Presidio and 117
at Wichita Falls last month.
Dallas reached an all-time high
of 113.

days, we will see a real
catastrophe in our state as far
as agriculture is concerned,”
said Texas Agriculture Com-
missioner Reagan Brown.
The hot and dry weather has
destroyed some crops and
sharply reduced others, Brown
said.
V.H. Neumann, who grows
grain and raises cattle on
several sections of land 50
miles west of San Antonio,
normally harvests a "half
million pounds of milo grain.
"We are just burning up.
Everything is gone. We will try
and salvage what we have for
hay, but as far as the grain is
concerned, it is gone,”
Neumann said.
The heat wave has been
blamed for the deaths of about
60 Texans.

So tempting
Whll* th# temptation to go ahaad and light those firecrackers can build to the edge of insanity,
local fire and police officials are asking that you withhold the urge. Fire Marshal Jerry Bolding
says high temperatures and lack of rain have dried out the grass and the use of firecrackers or
other fireworks could cause a serious fire. SSPD Chief Delbert Harrell adds that not only is there a
fire danger but it Is Illegal to shoot fireworks Inside the city limits of Sulphur Springs and citations
will be issued to any adults and the parents of |uveniles caught violating the city ordinance.
Cumby police officers will be petroling in Cumby with the same action to be had there as it is also
Illegal to shoot fireworks in Cumby.
