ant project.

Next big problem is to get the new
United Fund organization set up so as to
assure the success of the initial campaign
next fall. This will require a whopping
lot of work and advance planning.
It is our own idea that the success
of the campaign will swing largely on
two basic points. One is proper organ*
ization and groundwork. The Other is
an adequate educational campaign.
It won’t be easy to shake people out
of their accustomed habit of giving on a
multiple solicitation basis, to convince
them that their United Fund subscription
must be sufficient to cover what they have
been giving to a whole series of repeated
campaigns spread out over most of the
year.
The United Fund idea can be sold to
the public, however. It has been and is
being sold in city after city all over the
country. The results have been extreme-
ly satisfactory everywhere. They can
prove just as satisfactory in Sulphur
Springs. The old system of the same peo-
ple struggling through one campaign after
another all year is too hard on both work-
ers and givers to be tolerated any longer.

Grover Sellers is catching lots of ques-
tions on what is going to happen to a 16-
acre block of land he purchased some time
ago covering one of the prime locations
along the route of the new U. S. 67 by-
pass.
Grover isn’t talking on the subject and
says he won’t be announcing anything be-
fore the contract is let on the new high-
way at the very earliest.
Meanwhile lots of folk* are having
a good time discussing various rumors
as to what will be built on the proper-
ty, which lies north of the bypass route
and east of the Como highway. Ideas
on the subject range' all the way from
a motel to a full-blown shopping center.
Another prime topic of speculation is
who is concerned in the ownership and de-
velopment plans for the property. At-
torney Sellers is reported to have bought
the land for a group of clients, and the
Murchison interests are rumored to have a
hand in the venture.
Whether any of this is true, or wheth-
er the purchase is exclusively a Sellers
deal, remains Grover’s own secret—and
he isn’t talking.
Whatever the shape of things to come
at the intersection of new lT. S. 67 and old
Texas 11, we hope the development of
the bypass property in that area falls to
the lot of someone with the vision and re-
sources to do something worthwhile with
it.
The location is a natural one for some
first class businesses keyed to the heavy
highway traffic, and what is built there
should be a valuable addition to Sulphur
Springs.—FWF.
Around the Square—
The first week of spring has been a
rather turbulent interval for Texas and a
much more battering period for the un-
fortunate folks who live farther north.
It has seemed almost as though the of-
ficial turn on the calendar served as a sig-
nal for Old King Winter to rise up and
show his disdain for the calculations of
men.
A rather fascinating aspect of the rash
of spring cold waves was the labeling of
last Monday's frigid visitation as a Black-
berry Nprther.
Local Weatherman Ralph Hill, who
is thoroughly steeped in the lore of both
weather and region, explained that a
Blackberry Norther is one which hits at
a time when the blackberries are bloom-
ing. —' -
Mr. Hill is now looking forward to
what he calls the annual Easter Norther
two weeks hence. After that he hopes
that winter will give up the fight arid stay
biit of Texas.
Texans who are unhappy about their
own unseasonable weather can find some
consolation in the plight of the Yankees
Up north, who really have been catching
fits. Temperatures in the Dakotas, Mon-
tana and Minnesota have been bouncing
around below zero much of the time, with
periodic blizzards adding a note of zest
to the occasion. The mercury dropped as
*low as 10 degrees in southern Kansas and
northern Oklahoma. Heavy snow fell over
tnueh of the Sooner state and even dipped
across the Red river to the north of us.
After having experienced a liberal
touch of near sumnier, the prevailing frigid
invasions aren’t exactly things of joy and
beauty, particularly in view of the trail of
damage they leave in their wake. Every-
thing considered, though, it may be pos-
sible to hold out two more weeks and
hope that Mr. Hill’s diagnosis of the sit-
uation is correct and that the Easter North-
er will be the last one.

Quitman Bulldogs
Defeat Wildcats
In a weird seventh inning here
Monday the Quitman Bulldogs
picked up a couple of questionable
runs and a 4-2 victory over the
Sulphur Springs Wildcats.
The Bulldogs’ got their tie-break-
ing two runs on two walks, two
singles, a wild pitch, and an over-
throw of third base by J,oe Wil-
liams, Sulphur Springs catcher.
The Wildcats had battled from
behind in the bottom of the sixth
to gain a 2-2 tie with the visitors.
Jack Nance started the sixth with
a bingle, took second on q field-
er’s choice, and scored on a single
to left by-'Jackie Norton.
Quitman went out in front, 2-1,
in the fifth when Wildcats fouled
up on a double steal and permitted
Ellison to scamper across home
plate! with the greatest of ease.
Wildcat Coach Jim Dupree al-
ternated three pitchers—Clyde
Berry, Scotty Berry, and Jerry
Lee.

the icy tears she was shedding.
Ugly clouds, chilly w-inds, sleet
and snow marred the scene and
comfort of her activities, and
frightening storms elbowed their
way into many happy commun-

made her official entrance. Pret-

away and we can see the dimples
in her cheek. She will dance and
laugh. The sun will beam with its
warm smile. Fragrance of roses
will fill the air and the birds

Then we will forgive the coquet-

of last Monday, and look forward
to happy associations as Spring
smiles at us from every side.
