FROM THE
EDITOR’S
PEN .. .
By EDGAR R. HAYS
Our readers will note that
we begin a new volume num-
ber this week. The Nocona
News was founded in 1905, ac-
cording to our information,
and been published contin-
uously weekly since that time.
Probably The News is the
oldest continuous business in
Nocona. We don’t know of a
business that has operated
here under the same name
since 1905 and if there is
another one we would like to
know about it. We don’t know
how many editors The News
has had because our files are
incomplete. We can count a
half dozen whose names we
know and there are probably
several more we do not know.
Anyway 1905 was a long time
ago and The News has been
serving this community since
that time.
However in looking at our
volume number we find that
. someone back in the history
’of the paper missed a change.
That is, unless our arithmetic
is all wrong. Our volume num-
ber says we are starting Vol-
ume Sixty Four. If our figures
are correct, we should be
starting Volume Sixty - Five.
In checking back through the
files we find that in January
of 1942 the volume number was
37, which seems to us to
be correct since five added on1
to 37 make 42. But in 1959
the volume number was 53, one
year shy, and in 1964 the
volume number was 58, again
one year shy. After a thorough
check we may just run this
volume number up to where
it belongs.
Joyce Crumpler Hutchens,
wife of the pastor of the First
Baptist Church of Nocona,
made an outstanding scholas-
tic record in Bowie Higl
School, graduating In 1959 with
an average grade in all sub-
jects of 97.6. This grade aver-
age set a record in BHS which
stood until this year. But re-
cords are made to be broken
and this year a male studen*
came along and topped Mrs.
Hutchens grade with an aver-
age of 97.8. Who was it? It
was her little big brother,
Charles Crumpler.
Getting back to long years
in business here, we notice
that our history column on the
editorial page says that H.
N. Painter opened a grocery
store here on June 10, 1944.
Our arithmetic says that next
Tuesday will be his 25th an-
niversary in business in No-
cona so we say congratulations
to Mr. and Mrs. Painter on
their business anniversary.
The march of Providence
is so slow and our desires
so Impatient;
the work of progress is so
immense and our means of
aiding it so feeble;
the life of humanity is so
long and that of the indivi-
dual so brief,
that we often see only the
ebb of advancing ways, and are
thus discouraged. It is his-
tory that teaches us to hope.
—Robert E. Lee
VEILED THREAT.
Do you promise to obey?
“I do” she chirped for
all to hear.
“Don’t you believe it,”sot-
to voce,
She whispered in the
bridegroom’s ear.
" With all my worldly
goods,” he vowed,
“As long as life, at any
cost”
But when he went to place
the ring.
She saw he had his fin-
gers crossed.
—Josephine Leek
Mrs. Stine Moves

Mrs. Polly Stine and son,
Dell, moved Monday of this
week to Dallas to make their
home. They have lived in No-
cona for the past 12 years.
teTheir new home will be
Apartment 106, 7711 Willow
Tree Courts in Dallas. Mrs.
Stine’s daughter, Paula, also

airline hostess.
Mrs. Stine sold her fepacious

and Mrs. W. L. Scott.

lor University this week but

Corporal Borden Grider Home
From Vietnam, Will Return
Corporal Borden Grider,
son of Mr. and Mrs. J. L.
Grider of Nocona, is home or
a 30-day leave from the U.S.
Marine Corps after serving 14
months in Vietnam. He has
volunteered for another six
month hitch in Vietnam and
will return to that country
about July 1st.
Borden is a 1961 graduate
of Nocona High School and has
had several years military
service, including some in the
Army.
The Marine told The News
Editor this week that the Mar-
ines not only participate in
search and destroy missions
but also are broken up into
small units and stationed in
viUages to protect the natives
from the Viet Cong and to
help the Vietname se with other
problems, such as sanitation.
“It makes you feel good to be
able to help them,” he said.
He said there are thousands of
orphans which need help and
the Marines participate in this
work also.
“The Viet Cong is causing
the headaches in Vietnam,”
Borden said. “The North Viet-
namese soldiers are the best
fighters and will put up a real
good fight if you can catch
them, but the Viet Cong come
into the villages, terrorize the
villagers and kill some of them
in order to force the village
to comply with their de-
mands.”
“These people have had al-
most continuous war since
1900 and they do not know what
it is to live in peace,” Borden
continued. “In small units the
Marines can get very close
to the people and really get
to know them.”
Cpl. Grider was With the
4th Battalion, 11th Marines,
1st Division, attached to the
“I” Corps which operated just
below the de - militarized
zone. He said that they would
engage in sweeping operations
lasting from 30 days to 140
days during which they lived
in the bushes and were sup-
plied mostly by helicopters.
“The Marines feel pretty
strongly about this situation,”
Corporal Grider said, and
gave as an example the fact
that about one - third ot the
Marines which came home on
the plane he was on has signed
up for another six months in
Vietnam. “We think it is a
job that needs to be done and
they need us to help do it,”
he said.
When questioned about de-
monstrators in the U. S. , he
said that they saw some at
the airport in Los Angeles but
that the demonstrators avoid-
ed the Marines and would not
get close to them. “These
people want all the rights
granted in America but they
are not willing to fight for
those rights,” he concluded.

Burglars Hi!
Restaurant
Early Sunday
Rick’s Drive-In Restaurant,
operated by Mr. and Mrs. R.
B. Stout and located on High-
way 82, was hit by burglars
early Sunday morning, and the
loss in cash and merchandise
was estimated to be at least
$200.

juke box and the cigarette
machine, taking the money
from each, cleaned out the
food freezer of meats, taking
T-bone and club steaks, and
other meat, and an undeter-
mined amount of canned
goods. They also stole 14 car-
tons 'of cigarettes, among
other things.
The frozen foods and canned
foods were piled into a large
empty garbage can and a paste
board box and carted out, it
appeared, since both of these
containers are missing.

retiring this year. She was
accorded special honors at the
commencement exercises for
the graduating seniors last
