Sure was dark here during
Sunday morning’s storm and al-
most daily rainfall. Farmers
and ranchers are complaining
about the excess moisture, with
crops suffering and workmen
unable to get into the fields.
Could be worse though.
We were in Nocona late Fri-
day afternoon, and hail larger
than Grade “A” eggs pelted the
area for about ten minutes. If
you’re doubtful, check the dents
in the top of the family bus.

Failure of the county Road
Bond issue May 9 brought home
the importance of whether or
not “my one vote counts.’’
The issue failed by only 42
votes, and Howe voters downed
the proposal by 43 votes.
Vote here was 50 for and 93
against.

Sure would appreciate someone
telling us the brand of those
small crow-looking black birds
inhabiting the trees around the
city lately.
Actually, they’re too small to
be crows, and too large to be
ordinary blackbirds.
They put forth with a noise
similar to one of those squeak-
ing doors in an Alfred Hitch-
cock thriller.
Howe’s Volunteer Firemen
volunteer for more duty, than
just fighting fires.
Few weeks ago, the motor
of the rural truck conked out,
and had to be replaced.
Several of the members of the
department put in a few extra
hours and did the mechanical
work on the truck.
It’s now back in service, at
a considerable savings to the
city, thanks to the volunteers,

Overton Jay was telling us
this week about selling the old
Major Guinn Hotel Building.
John Clift of the Denison Hei’-
ald was in town Wednesday af-
ternoon getting the history of
the old building. We’ll try to
use the story next week.
