VOLUME No. 87
FORD FORUM
PACTS AND FUN
By Nora and Robert
Tuesday afternoon when we
were experiencing 100 degree
temperature we wandered into
the Bartlctt Electirc Coop of-
fic with presperation dripping
off our nose and chin and saw
a lady (Pat Hightower) wear-
ing a wool sweater and an extra
sweater draped over her head
and shoulders as she sat at her
desk pulling cards from a file.
We couldn't conceive that an
attractive lady was under that
.grotesque appearing figure.
Gee we long for some of that
cold temperature at the Tribune
office.
Curtis Saagc reported Mon-
day that he had been struck by
lightning-his wife was in the
hospital his ofnee helper was
on vacation and he received a
summons lor jury duty. Hope
he knows the judge.
Do you realize that our
youngsters wm oe trudging
back to school m less than a
month' Vacation time has
flown by and we hate to think
of tho students returning to the
over-crowded class rooms dur-
ing this hot humid weather.
We hope conditions will be
much improved in another
yeax.
Hats off to tho civic minded
members of the Bartlctt Lions
Club who are repairing the ten-
uis courts at the high school.
Both students and adults use
these courts and the club
needs money to make these
improvements. How about
making a cash donation? This
is a worthwhile project and
our young people need a
place to work off that extra
energy and at the same time
enjoy some clean fun and ex-
ercise. We should provide
somo entertainment for our
young people.
Join us in making a dona-
tion toward the repairs of tho
tennis courts!
We received a .letter from
Myrtle Bridges of Sonora one
of our .subscribers this week
requesting another copy of
the July 4th edition of The
Bartlett Tribune which con-
tained "My Youth Is Spent."
Her husband Au'trey seemed
to enjoy the item- It must have
applied to him too. Myrtle
wrote that she retired from
teaching at the close of the
last term of school. Bet she
will unconsciously prepare for
the opening of school next
month.
The only
economics we
was in high
ever studied
school a long time ago but
during that long time we have
reached the conclusion that if
Congress quit throwing away
money balanced the budget
and paid off the tremendous
national debt it would solve
most of our inflation prob-
lems. Another thing we have
never understood about infla-
tion is how high interest rates
help control inflation and
the high price of everything
else hurts it.
Tuesday evening marked
the end of the Little League
baseball season Congratula-
tions to the coaches and mali-
ngers who have worked with

Bartlett Gets I
Two Inch Rain
After a long dry spell
Bartlett received rain which
varied from an inch and one-
half to two inches over the
area Sunday night.
Had the rain fallen a month
ago it would have been hail-
ed as a million dollar rain.
Now it was hailed mostly by
cattlemen and homeowners.
It was great on pastures and
lawns trees and shrubs.
It came too late to help the
maize crop and in some cases
where accompanied by wind
caused the maize to fall over.
Much of it can still be har-
vested but the process will
be more expensive.
Thunderstorms accompani-
ed the rain which was gene-
ral in the Bartlett area but
did not reach far north. Tem-
ple reported .02 and .05 in-
ches. Temperatures dropped to
the low 70's Monday morning
but Monday afternoon became
hot and sultry with tempera-
tures in the high 90's and the
humidity high.
