About
Nocona
(Continued from page 1)
sightseeing for three days with
four tons of duds made possible
by British money which, in
turn, is made possible in part
by American dollars taken from
the pay checks of the American
working men and women, most
of whom would be delighted to
own fifty pounds of nice cloth-
ing and a few ounces of jewelry.
And here we have a country
trying to delay the payments of
her debts while she keeps roy-
alty in splendor and diamonds
and another country, which
from time to time has leaned
heavily upon the United States
spending half a million dollars
to prepare for and entertain a
queen for three short days.
Neither Britain nor France
would spend a penny to enter-
tain an American working girl
whose earned salary has for
years, in part, been used to
help those nations.
The whole picture doesn’t
make sense.

Dogs being man's best friends,
it is only natural that they like
what man likes — including
music.
Lawyerman Glenn Wilson
learned this the other morning
when he went to his automobile
to find his two dogs contented-
ly listening to some sort of
rock 'n roll stuff which was ap-
parently tuned in to their own
liking.
It all happened the night be-
fore when Glenn went to his
farm and took the dogs along
for a romp. Some time later,
Glenn called the doggies to the
car, loaded them in and drove
home.
En route home, Glenn ap-
parently had some weighty leg-
al problems on his mind; any-
way, arriving home, he got out
of the car, slammed the door
shut and forgot the doggies.
They didn't mind because, after
all, automobile seats make pret.
ty nice sleeping quarters.
Came morning and Glenn
started for his car. Nearing it,
he heard a strange noise ema-
nating from the car radio and,
still nearer, he saw his dogs at
the windows ready to greet him,
their tails wagging gleefully.
There was only one conclu-
sion. As they romped around in
the car part of the night, one
of the dogs bumped the radio
tuner-oner hard enough to turn
it on.
P.S. Glenn's battery was virt-
ually dead.

Grand Jury Brings
In 8 Indictments;
One Man Sentenced
(Continued from page 1)
turned a true bill against Paul
Sam Darnaby of Nocona for a
third offense as a drunken driv-
er. He was previously indicted on
the same charge in 1952 and 1953,
officials said today. He has posted
bond.
Three other sub-rosa indictments
were also returned against two
Montague countians, but the de-
fendants have not yet been ar-
rested.
Appearing in court, Golden ad-
mitted theft and burglary of 100
sacks of cake from the Wilmer
Seay ranch in 1954. He had prev-
iously been indicted on this
charge.
Admits Ringgold Thefts
He also admitted the theft of a
typewriter and adding machine
from the Ringgold school March
11 and the theft of a pistol and
a carton of cigarets from the
Lawrence O’Neal home in Ring-
gold on March 2.
Golden pawned the pistol, type-
writer and adding machine aft
Grand Prairie. When he was ar-
rested last week at Waurika by
Lindsey and Fitts, he asked to
stop at a filling.station rest room
and while in the rest room he
tore the pawn ticket into little
pieces and tossed the pieces on
the floor.
The filling station attendant
found them, notified the sheriff
who, with Fitts* help, pieced the
torn pieces together and found
the stolen property at Grand
Prairie. -
Ringgold Hil
Again By Fire
Tuesday Night
Ringgold suffered another total
fire loss Tuesday night when the
Bob Tipton filling station and gro-
cery was destroyed by fire of un-
known origin.
The fire broke out about 9:30
after Tipton had closed for the
night. The Nocona fire department
responded to a call, but the fire
was out of control when firemen
arrived.
Burning grease in the kitchen
of the Lo-Boy last Friday night
caused the only other fire run
of the week. Damage was slight,
firemen reported.
Rotarians Hear
Easter Talk By
Methodist Pastor
“More people will worship this
Easter than at any other Easter,
according to world statistics,” Rev.
W. D. Craig said Tuesday in an
Easter talk given before the Ro-
tary club.
“Easter.” Craig said, “comes in
the springtime when trees and
flowers are budding from what
God has put into them. God has
also planted within our souls the
seeds to bud into faith and service
to our church, no matter what
church that is.
“We need this Eastertime to
ask ourselves who we are and to
whom we belong. We need to
check our compasses to be sure
that the points are pointing in the
right direction. Sometimes men
go wrong because their compasses
are pointing wrong.
Let’s examine our compasses to
see if something has twisted the
points in the wrong direction.
God has made an investment in
us, let’s not abuse it but, instead,
develop it to be what He wants
us to be. Let’s look at ourselves
this Easter and ask ourselves if
we have been the kind of hus-
bands, fathers, brothers and citi-
zens God would want us to be.”
