B. C. VICKERS OF OMAHA GETS FISH
Area ponds stocked with fish
Thirteen Morris county citi-
zens received fish for their
ponds and lakes last week
A specially equipped truck
from the federal fish hatchery
distributed the fish near the
Omaha post office.
Fish available through the
program include bass, bream,
channel cat and white perch.
The landowners apply for
the fish with application forms

Mrs. Leon Coker had a new
car ordered and it was to ar-
rive Wednesday.
That worked out just right.
Late Tuesday afternoon, she
was involved in a collision
that didn't hurt anyone but
her old car was pretty badly
boogered up.
Remember that the Morris
county commissioners court
cut the commodity rolls pretty
substantially about a year
ago?
And you wondered then
if it would last? And how
long?
Well, so far it has.
A check this week showed
that the list of recipients had
increased by only three from
754 to 757.
The number of families is
down just slightly from 357
to 348.
That's about half as many
families and recipients as there
were two years ago and before
commissioners court took a
dimmer view of the free gro-
cery program.
You'd think this warning
wouldn't be necessary but it
is.
That 150-foot water tower
here is city property and any-
body who gets the urge to
climb it had better beware.
It's against the law.

The Coker Chevrolet sales-
men — Jack Coker and John
Paul Jones — have about es-
tablished themselves as among
the best in East Texas.
The company sponsored a
sales campaign in January and
February with the top prize
being a World's Fair trip for
two.
The Jack Cokers are at
the Fair this week cashing in
the winner's prize.
Another contest was held in
April and May for the 24 deal-
ers in the company's District 4.
The last report was issued
in mid-May.
Jones was second then and
is now waiting for the final
count to see if he, too, might
not be a winner.
'Miss Naples' will be chosen Monday night
The two-hour process of
choosing a "Miss Naples" will
begin at 8 p.m. Monday.
The pageant will be staged
around the Community Inn
swimming pool if there is no
rain that night and in the ball-
room if it rains.
The program will start with
music by a local jazz instru-
mental trio of Motrris Craig,
Eugene Warren ind Jerrol
Davis, and a vocal number by
Mrs. Charles Smith, Mrs. J. L.
Collier and Mrs. Jack Coker.
The ten contestants will pa-
rade around the pool area
with spotlights focused on
1
them in the evening dress
competition.
Wilford Penney of Linden,
who will be master of cere-
monies, will introduce the con-
testants and narrate the show.
After the parade in bathing
suits, out of town judges will
narrow the field to five final-
ists.
The finalists will be given
written questions and their
answers, along with their
earlier ratings, will determine
the winner.
In addition to "Miss Naples",
a first and second runner-up
will be named.
Contestants for the title are
Miss VirGinia Shirey, Miss
Judy Allen, Miss Jacqueline
Davlin, Miss Judy Daniel, Miss
Mary Frances Carter, Miss
Sherrilyn Brock, Miss Laticia

$43,849 spent on improvements to hospital
available at the county agent's
office.
R. J. Dean, county agent,
said proper care of the farm
ponds or lakes is essential to
the growing of good fish. The
ponds need to be fertilized
and weeds and other objec-
tionable plants should be con-
trolled.
Wallace Klussman, exten-
sion service wildlife specialist,
recommends that fertilizer be
poured in a heavy row or band
behind a boat. He also sug-
gested cutting a few holes in
the bags of fertilizer and drop-
ping them into shallow water.
It is no longer recommend-
ed that fertilizer be spread
evenly over the pond surface
since much of the fertilizer is
lost in deep water that way.
The fertilizer should be put
in shallow water in concen-
trated amounts.
