Rugby-Fulbright
Farm to Market
Road Reality
Right-of-way for five miles of
the farm-to-market road from
Rugby to Clarksville, via Ful-
bright, is now being secured, ac-
cording to Red River County
Commissioner Raymond Dugger;
Right-of-way sixty feet wide is
necessary for the project, and that
tion of the proposed road* from
kgby to Fulbright will be handl-
and contract let as a separate
portion of the entire project, ac-
cording to Commissioner Dugger.
Mr. Dugger has the necessary
forms for land owners to sign.
The road will follow the present
road and is sixty feet wide in
places. A portion of it from Rug-
by to what was known as the Car-
penter comer, was formerly part
of old Highway 49, built with a
precinct bond issue many years
ago, but little gravel remains on it.
The State Highway Commission
will advertise for bids for the five
miles to be built from Rugby to
Fulbright just as soon as the 60-
foot right-of-way has been se-
cured.

tery.

two children, his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. R. B. Hulen, and one brother,
M. P. Hulen of Deport.
Pallbearers were Forrest Parks,
| Hobart Loven, W. I. Kuykendall,

Ground Hog Gains
New Disciples
From the Carpenter corner
north for a mile the roadbed was
built with funds supplied by De-
port merchants, many years ago.
A district bond issue built the re-
linder of the road thru Ful-
kight and north from the Rozell
In corner towards Detroit. Later
a portion of the road was paved
with rock, but a topping was nev-
er placed on it, and it deteriorated
until Fulbright folk have been
mud-bound during rainy weather.
HOUSEWARMING FOR
MRS. ARTHUR BONDS
Neighbors and friends.of Mrs.
Arthur Bonds honored her with
a house-warming Thursday. A
quilt was quilted and the honoree

ent were Mrs. John Roach of
Johntown, Mrs. Grover Spier and
children, Mrs. John Rutland, UJrs.
C. Kidd, Mrs. C. M. Scoggins,
N^Brs. Chuck Johnson and Mrs.
Sl^Mob Pope.
The ground hog superstition is
taking fresh root among people
in this section.
To date there have been only two
sunny days since Feb. 2 when, it
is said, if the ground hog sees his
shadow he retires to his hole and
six weeks of bad weather follow.
Feb. 2 was a bright, sunny day.
So were Sunday and Monday.
Rain has fallen every day since,
with a flurry of snow Saturday
night to break the monotony.
Rain Tuesday and Tuesday
night measured % of an inch,
which brings the 1946 total to
7.49 inches.
Rain will further delay prepar-
ing land for spring planting. Two
weeks will be required for land
to dry sufficiently to be plowed,
assuming no more rain falls.
I Last February 9.75 inches of
raih-feU; thus far this month the
! total is 3.37 inches.

Two of Germany’s leading
atomic scientists say that Ger-
many knew the secret of'harness-
ing atomic energy in 1941, but
was industrially and financially
powerless to apply the discovery
in producing bombs.
The government plans to make
income-tax refunds promptly to
taxpayers due them. In 1944, 21
000,000 taxpayers in the nation
were refunded $1,000,000,000. Re-
funds are expected to go even
higher this year.
