RADIO STATION KMOO
The Radio Station KMOO is another news media of which Mineola is very
proud. It is owned and operated by Sam Curry who began operation in Sep-

news of interest.
They report that in 1969 some developments for that year are flood control
of the Sabine River, scout programs organized, the Negro school property
sold, Wisener Airport enlarged and improved and perhaps the top story of the
year, that of June Davis in which $2,500 was raised in one day for the fam-
ily's benefit.
RAYNES
Another one of the new faces among public officials for the year is that of
E.T. Raynes, who serves as Justice of the Peace for Precinct 2.
Mr. Raynes was appointed to the office in late April 1969, after the resig-
nation of long-time Justice H.H. Carlisle.
