TOWN HOUSE TALK
By JOHNIE FOLLEY
Quite ■ a few of the local in-
labitants are sitting around feei-
ng sorry for themselves without
ictually considering all the fac-
ors involved. We believe they
laven’t stopped to realize the
)Ossibilities that Paducah has to
>ffer.
Paducah coud easily become a
own to be envied by most of
ler neighbors. Regardless of the
ips apd downh of the various
companies drilling for oil, Pa-
iucah still has a. very good
ihance of) becoming an oil town.
In addition; in the past year,
several irrigation wells have
seen developed in this area. Ae-
rially as far as the average per-
son is concerned, the irrigation
»uld be much more important
:han oil to this area.
Another possibility was recent-
ly called to our attention when
i representative of the High-
way 70 Association called on us.
Highway 70 is a transcontinent-
al highway that should in
the near future carry as much
traffic as Highway 66, because it
is an all-year route and is far
enough south to miss the snow
and ice conditions that so often
block traffic on the highways
farther north.
Highway 70 is paved coast to
coast with ' the exception of
about 20 miles in western Okla-
homa. The Highway 70 Associa-
tion is working to get ths small
strip of road paved and has es-
tablished an Area Headquarters
in Vernon to? p^$note the paving
of this roac^t*!'-
With the completion of this
pavement there is no reason why
Highway 70jshould not carry as
much or' more traffic than any
of the oth,er transcontinental
highways.
Of course the above facts leave
everyone feeling about like the
boy who had lost his girl friend:
Maybe in a month or two
I shall have forgotten you,
And probably within a year
Someone else will call me
“Dear”;
I know in time I shall recover
And find myself another lover,
But facts like these don’t ease
my plight.
For what am I going to do to-
night?
' i|V'
Attention!

Now/ here's an important reminder—If you
are planning to have your photograph made for
graduation, right now is the time to make ar-
rangements for your sitting. >

yourself that will make Graduation Day a hap-
pier day, make your appointment right away!
