Week-end Outlook
Br iwitio rasas
An expected cold front turned
early next year. The defease
program the coaatry has started
brings a definite aesd far bat-
ter facilities hers. That ecadi-
Ueu will chaagt the miads of
maay voters when the time comes
to pass oa the bond issue that
will be needed t* match CAA
faads that total 889,09ft. Au-
thorities have estimated that
880,900 will briag landiag facili-
ties ap to the required standards.
One good thing about the bond
lease la that there will he no
increase in either the tax rate
or Usable renditions. But we’ll
wait uatil the matter is formal-
ly presented before going into
further explanation.
tail before it reached Texas Sat-
urday but the circulation of cold
air to the north, in Oklahoma and
Arkansas, kept the mercury at a
chilling level in most parts of the
Lone Star state.
But, forecasts through Sunday,
eallpd for generally fair weather
over the entire state and somewhat
warmer temperatures. There wasj
nothing in sight, either, except per-
feet weather for the annual bowl
football games in Texas on New
Year’s Day.
The sudden change in movement
of the cold front caused forecas-
ters to change their predicitions
for badly needed showers in the
eastern part of the sUte. No rain
was forecast through Sunday.
2 AWOL Airmen

gUILDING operations in Dublin
will be greatly speeded up dur
ing the coming months, with
housing project involving more
than $400,000 being the principal
cause of new construction. The
Dublin Manufacturing Company
also will have a new home which
is being built by Mayor Hoffman.
There will be a heavy demand for
carpenters, plumbers, painters snd
labor. Surely no man who wants
to work will have much trouble
finding employment, either in Ste-
phsnville or Dublin. Structures
on the Tsrleton Campus and at the
high school to be completed early
next summer call for an expendi-
ture of about $760,000. There arc
a number of private units under
contract that will swell this total
to a much higher level. If the
country can get a good rain may*
be everybody will feel better.
Los 'Angeles, Dec. 30. M —
AWOL Air Force privates were
held today on charges of financing
a trip here from Mobile, Ala., by
a $4,000 cross-country holdup
spree.
Police said Privates James D.
Stephens, 23, Houston, and Archie
T. Strickland, 21, 8t. Augustine,
Fla., admitted robbing finance
companies and airline ticket offices
at Chicago, Memphis, Cleveland,
Detroit and Minneapolis.
• Stephens and Strickland went
AWOL Nov. 3 from Brookley
Field at Mobile, officers said. They
traveled west by bus, pulling
.dyoMups at various spots along
| e route.
They were arrested last night
fafter a routine shakedown near
the Los Angeles bus station. About
$636 of the $4,000 remained.
Strickland carried a .38 caliber
pistol, officers said.
gTEPHENVILLE gains a very
fine firm in Beall Bros, who
will open their store here about
April 1. The Bealls (pronounced
Bell) have been doing business in
‘ East for a good many yaars and
come to this area with top recom-
mendations. They will occupy
60 foot front on the north side
where they hawe a long lease on
the Carlton and Richardson build*
ings. Rebuilding and modernizing
of these two structures will start
soon bringing them up to a high
standard of appearance and all-
around efficiency. That section of
the business district will have
decided new look when the firm
opens its doors for business. No
town can grow and expand without
wide awake merchants. Happily,
we already have many in this
class. Beall Bros, should add much
to the standing of the city as s
trading center.

nected with the newspaper busi-
ness ia going up at such a steady
pace that publishers are going to

the government and there seems
to be no relief in sight Prices
