ungievuie High
Graduates Make
Southern Tour
The 1959 graduates of the
Lingleville High School have re-
turned home after a trip, probably
the last the group will take to-
gether, which took them through
Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and
Florida.
Among the most interesting
sights was the battleship Texas
near Houston, and the San Jacinto
battleground and monument. The
group rode the elevator to the top
of the monument on the San Jacin-
to battleground. This is the tallest
stone structure in the United
States.
A visit was paid to the Inter-
national Airport in Houston and
the waves in Galveston bay were
ridden by the boys on a rubber
raft. After a trip on a fishing
boat the group crossed the high-
est bridge in the south between
Orange and Port Arthur and arriv-
ed in New Orleans in time for
bumper to bumper traffic.
Activities in New Orleans in-
cluded a tour of St. Louis cathe-
dral, a swim In Lake Ponchatrain
and a souvenir hunt in the French
quarters. — - ’ • ■ '■
In Mobile, Ala. Otis Jacks,
formerly of Linglevllle held up a
line of cars at a toll gate renew-
ing acquaintances with ths group.
Otis Jacks is a collector at the
toll gate of a tunnel under Mobile
hay. Another person that had been
in Linglevllle noticed the Lingle-
ville sign on the cars and came
ovor to renew acquaintances. He
was Bill Murphy, who conducted a
revival at Lingleville at one time.
Later another Texan, who knew
the brother of Marshall, (Digger)
Proctor was met.
Sightseeing, swimming, bowl-
ing and fishing were the main
events of the trip. Those who made
the journey were Bobby Trice,
Kenneth Hicks, Max Christian,
Royce Bays, Marshall Proctor,
Bobby Conatser, Mrs. T. C. Chris-
tian and Mrs. Tom Whitie.

Membership Drive
Launched by C-C
Stephenville has something that
looks good to Industry or if\ would
not have run second choice among
14 Texas towns as a site for a
large industrial plant, L. BX. Ho-
ward, manager of the Stephen'
Chamber of Commerce, told mem-
bers of the C-C board of directors
as their regular monthly meeting
at noon Wednesday in the Willard
dining hall.
Howard was reporting on the ef-
forts made by the chamber of com-
merce to obtain a large absestos
pipe plant for Stephenville.
He told the director the com-
pany considered and investigated
14 Texas towns as a site for the
plant. The choice finally narrowed
down to Stephenville and one other
town. Stephenville lost otit because
of a difference in freight rates,
Howard said.
Jack Arthur, C-C presided at the
meeting. He told the directors the
matter of obtaining street bus
service for Stephenville is still
hanging fire. Arthur pointed to the
recent loss of street bus service at
Tyler because of insufficient busi-
ness ss he reminded the directors
roblems involved in obtaining
street bus service for a town the
size of Stephenville.
Art Anderson, chairman of the
membership committee, reported
to the directors on the C-C mem-
bership campaign. He said cards
bearing the names of 80 business
concerns not members of the
chamber of commerce had been giv-
en members of the membership
committee. He said eight of the
firms have been signed for mem-
bership in the civic organization
and committee members are work-
ing calling on the 72 firms net yet
signed.
