Voter registration deadline has
passed, as of January 31, and
as yet we have no report as to
the number of qualified voters
who took advantage of this one
privilege to voice their convic-
tions in governing our nation,
state, county and city. A vote
is a powerful tool which, in our
opinion, goes wanting in most
instances.
Everyone has the right to ex-
press his or her opinion at the
polls, whether or not that opin-
ion turns out to be right or
wrong.
In addition to local govern-
ment races, local voters will
be asked to decide again on a
proposed 10-year road improve
ment program which was vot-
ed down last year. A study
of the proposed bond issue
should be made by each voter
before casting a ballot.
Some changes have been made
in the proposal since the last
election.

A guy visited a new golf
club, paid his green fees, and
at the first tee, took a wild
swing and missed the bail.
“By gosh!” he exclaimed.
“It’s a good thing I found out
right at the start. This course
is at least two inches lower
than the one I usually play
on!”

A lady phoned in a classified
ad this week, seeking a dog
house.
She didn’t say wether or not
it was supposed to be man-
size.

Road Bond Issue
Resubmitted For
Vote In May
Howe voters will have anoth-
er opportunity to vote on the
proposed farm-to-market road
impi’ovement May 9.
Planning sub committee of the
Grayson County Highway Com-
mittee voted recently to accept
a modified 10-year plan for
highway farm-to-market road
improvements and to re-submit
the county-wide issue to voters
on that date.
The group has changed some
of the objections to the origi-
nal proposal.
Representatives at the meet-
ing were present from Gordon-
ville, Dorchester, Van Alstyne,
Whitewright, Whitesboro and
Bells. John Bell of Sherman
presided.
Changes approved at the
meeting included moving the
proposed farm-to-market road
1417 approximately half a mile
east of the location as Carried
on the former planning map.
This would pick up the Blue
Creek area and put it in the
road route. It amends FM 1417
to the demands of the State
Highway Commission engineers
The committee also passed a
motion to accept the new high-
way improvement plan subject
to the Denison and Sherman
city councils, their chambers of
commerce and county commis-
sioners court. Changes in the
plan will revert back to the sub
committee.

Buried Cable To
Improve Service
For Howe, Van
In preparation for bringing
improved toll service to the
Howe and Van Alstyne areas,
workmen are now engaged in
laying more than 35,0000 feet
of buried cable between these
two towns, E. I. Jenkins, dis-
trict manager for General Tele-
phone Company of the South-
west, announced.
Approximately fifteen reels of
cable manufactured by Gener-
al Cable Corporation in Bon-
ham are being used in complet-
ing this project.
Scheduled for completion in
March of this year, the pro-
ject includes the placement of
a large amount of new cable
facilities and the removal of
most of the existing open wire
circuits in the area. Jenkins
said cost of this project is esti-
mated at about $30,000.
This new construction is com-
posed of a fifty pair buried toll
cable which should provide toll
circuits from Howe to Van Al-
styne for several years.
Contractor on the project is
Rhodes Construction Company
of Corpus Christi and eight men
are being employed on the job.
Equipment in use includes one
TD-19 tractor, one back hole
and one ditching machine.
“We at General Telephone are
indeed pleased that we are able
to bring this major improve-
ment program to the residents
of the Howe and Van Alstyne
areas,” Jenkins said, “and we
are confident that these new
toll circuits will give our cus-
tomers greatly improved toll
service due to the fact that it
will all be buried cable and
not exposed to the elements.”
