Mayor, Three Aldermen To
Be Named In City Election
Byron A. Shotts
Resigns Effective
As .Of April 9th
JBYRON SHOTTS
Order for a city election, to be
held Tuesday, April 7, was pass-
ed by the city council, at the
regular monthly meeting held
last Thursday night.
Since present Mayor Byron
Shotts has resigned that position
effective as of April 9, which is
the first meeting of the council
following election, a Mayor for
a term of one year, and three
Aldermen for terms of two years,
are to be elected.
Shotts, veteran “city dad,” en-
tered the office of Mayor for the
fifth time last April, when a
surprising write-in campaign
honored him with that office.
In an interview with the Post
editor, Mayor Shotts said: “I am
resigning as Mayor effective as
. of April 9, 1953, for the reason
my business is demanding more
of my time, and since I am
chairman of the Methodist
Church building committee, and
intend to devote considerably of
my time to the program of build-
** ing the new church, I will not
have the time to give to the
duties of Mayor.”
“I have given this matter a lot
of thought and study, and I sin-
cerely believe that the decision
is best for the city and myself.
My iesignation becomes effective
as of April 9, which is the first
meeting date of the council after
the election.”
Shotts, who has made an en-
viable record as Mayor, will leave
the city’s finances in a healthy
condition. A number of persons
have attempted to persuade the
genial Mayor to change his mind
—but for reasons as stated
above, he is giving up the May-
orship.
In addition to the electing of
a Mayor, April 7, the terms of
three Aldermen, A. O. Bennett,
L. V. Anderson and Herbert Hen-
ry, expires. Present councilmen
include L. V. Anderson, Wilmer
Wilson. Burnett Richards, A. O.
Bennett and Herbert Henry.
Applicants for a place on the
ballot must be filed on or before
Aprii 7.
Polls will be open from 8:00 a.
m. to 7:00 p. m. Joe Belote has
been appointed election Judge.
■*/ Ten Men Elected
Paducah’s Mayor
In Last 43 Years
With the public still inaugu-
ration minded, it is interest-
ing to note that only 10 men have
been elected to the position of
Mayor of Paducah since the city
was incorporated 43 years ago.
The late W. H. Abernathy
holds the honor of first occupying
the office by election in 1910.
Byron A. Shotts, present may-
or, has held the office for four
terms although they are not suc-
cessive. After his first election in
1938, he served one term and part
of another before going into the
armed service.
After the war, Shotts was elect-
ed for a term in 1948 and, after
staying out two years, again was
chosen in 1952.
C. A. Craven was another long-
time holder of the office. John W.
Carroll was able to attend only
the first city council meeting in
his final term of office because
of illness; then Craven was
chosen mayor pro-tem.
In this capacity and through
subsequent elections, Craven held
office from 1930 through 1938.
Carrol himself had held office
through four terms previously for
another long tenure of service.
In chronological order, the
town’s elected mayors have been:
W. H. Abernathy, D. E. Jordon,
James Whatley, W. O. Jones, Sr.,
John W. Carroll, C. A. Craven, By-
ron A. Shotts, J. D. Bell, Dawson
Reid, Sr., Byron A. Shotts, Carroll
Robertson, Byron A. Shotts.
Of these, six are living—What-
ley, Jones, Craven, Shotts, Bell
and Robertson.

ducah Independent School Dist-
rict are eligible to vote in the

LEE GRABEL TO
APPEAR HERE
IN PERSON
The internationally famous en-
tertainer, Lee Grabel, will ap-
pear in person at the High
School auditorium Wednesday
night, March 18, at 8:20 p.m., un-
der the sponsorship of the Padu-
cah FFA Chapter.
The Lee Grabel show, starr-
ing beautiful Helene, famous
theatrical review, comes to Pa-
ducah direct from its record-
breaking run on Broadway and
sensational world tour.
Helene is a charming young
It was not such a surprise to
Prattler when we learned that
Jack rabbits grow horns in Hall
county. In fact we knew several
months ago when Republicans
went into office, the po’r Til
old rabbits were going to have
to invent some kind of protec-
tion. Recently a fellow up in
Hall county brought in a rabbit
he had killed to the Memphis
Democrat and the freak animal
had horns—not two — but four.
Two horns were located in front
of the ears, and the other pair
were in a line above the tip of
the nose, similar to those of a
rhinoceros. Three of the four
horns measured approximately
two inches in length.
Are teachers going to get more
money? The answer is maybe so.
A bill to give them $600 per year
increases is now in legislative
progress. Before Prattler goes
any further we would definitely
like to get over to readers of this,
column that the Paducah Post is
100 per cent in favor of teachers

deserve and need the increase,
but it MUST come. This state-
ment we make is no reflection
whatsoever on our common lab-
orers—but the average day la-

more, than our teachers,
who have.spent thousands of

BOY WOUNDED
IN HUNTING
ACCIDENT HERE
Eugene “Arkie” Whatley, 12,
was wounded in the chest in a
hunting accident on Jim De-
foor’s farm two miles north of
Paducah, Tuesday at 4 p.m. He
is son of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald
Whatley.
With two companions, Donald
Smith, 14, and Randall Defoor,
14, he was hunting after school.
A slug from Smith’s .22 caliber
rifle ricocheted off a tree and
struck Whatley in the left side
of his chest, according to the
boys’ story.
He was rushed to Richards
Memorial Hospital by Jim Defoor
where he is now recovering.
Jones Pleads Guilty
To Aggravated
Assault Charge
Homer Jones, 63, entered a
plea of guilty to the charge of
aggravated assault on a female
10 years of age in King county
court, February 11.
Jones was accused of kissing
and embracing the little girl
when she entered his store at
Dumont on the morning of Jan-
uary 21. He testified that he kiss-
ed the youngster and placed his
hands on her waist, ‘shoulders
and back while doing so.
Upon his plea of guilty, Jones
was assessed the minimum jail
sentence of one month and the
maximum fine of $1,000. Due to
the fact that the King county jail
has no heating facilities, he is
serving the jail sentence in the
Knox county jail at Benjamin.
Mrs. Davidson Improved
Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Key of
Kirkland visited her mother,
Mrs. T. J. Davidson, Sunday. She
is recovering from two light
strokes suffered recently, and is
doing well at this time.
Another visitor Sunday was
her son, Shelton Davidson, Abi-
lene. Both Mr. and Mrs. Key and
Mr. Davidson visited ' in the
Andrew Carroll home, also.

Hood Still Improves
Fletcher Hood is still improv-
ing in the Childress hospital
where he has been a patient
since October 11, when a horse
fell on him in a roping accident.
His parents, Mr. and Mrs. I. T.
Findley of this city, took up
temporary residence in Childress
this week to be near the family
to give assistance.
* * *
Mrs. J. D. Stennet Better
Mrs. J, D. Stennett, who suf-
fered several light strokes re-
cently, is improved this week.
Her son and his wife, Mr. and
Mrs. E. E. Stennett, Plainview,
visited her Wednesday on her
87th birthday.
This is Brotherhood Week.
Maybe you’re tired of “weeks,”
but this is one we’d all better
pay some attention to. The pro-
motion of brotherhood is a nec-
essity. During this special week
a vast amount of progress would
be made if every American
would make a point of doing
one good deed, or saying one
kind word, to a fellow citizen,
who is “different” because of
race, creed or ancestral back-
ground. Even refraining from
unkind deeds and acts would
help considerably. If each of us
should make such an effort this
week, we would feel a lot better
for our kindliness and patriot-
ism.
Disaster strikes and immed-
iately the nation-wide resources
of the Red Cross are mobilized
for aid to the victims. If you
think that statement is untrue—
then talk to some of our good
neighbors over at Crowell.
Everyday throughout the na-
tion—and the world, the Red
Cross contribution you make
here at home is at work to re-
lieve distress,, save a life, com-
fort the stricken. Your dollars
make Red Cross service possible
wherever and whenever it is
j needed.
The Cottle-King Chapter Ame-
rican Red Cross membership
drive will open March 2 — and
remember—this year more than,
ever before RED CROSS needs
your support.
Lest we forget—the Lions’ an-
nual Pancake Bazaar will be
held Friday* night, February 27,
Veterans’ Memorial Building.
Those persons who attended the
affair last year well may re-
member it was one of the high-
lights of the year. Plenty of fun,
music, entertainment, and a de-
licious pancake supper awaits
you. Money subscribed from the
Bazaar will be used by the
Lions' club to promote various
community projects.
Let’s all go down to the
Pancake Bazaar,
It won’t take long and
It isn’t very far!
There will be plenty of fun,
Music, eats and entertainment,
too!
Plus a lot of games
For you and you.
The date is February 27, 1953
Everybody’s going, so why not
thee?
The fun will begin at 7:30 p.m.
On the above date—
So make plans now—
And don’t be late!
