■ The Highway Petrol investigated
toe rural accidents in Montague
County during the month of March.
Discovery of the means of ap-
plying rotary motion to machines
is considered to be one of the
greatest inventions in all history.
You read right! Ford’s new
Styleside box has a tail-
gate so strong it can sup-
port a ton of weight. Yet a
new center latch lets you
open and close it with one
hand!
You’ll find this new long-
wheelbase Ford pickup
easier to load, to ride in,
to drive. But from axle to
axle, it's built like the big
trucks for extra strength—
and extra savings—on the
job. Come sea!
Some have been blaming Sher-
iff Middleton for the fact that the
notice of sale of the bowling alley
was published in the Saint Jo Tri-
bune instead of The News. Fact is
that the Sheriff has nothing to say
about where the notices .are pub-
lished. The lawyers who handle
the cases tell the sheriff where re-
quired legal notices will be pub-
lished. He merely carries out their
wishes in the matter.

Carroll will be celebrating h i s

These wrecks accounted for eight
persons Injured and an estimated
property damage of (4,250.00.
The rural traffic accident sum-
mary for Montague County from
January through March of 1964
shows a total of 25 crashes result-

Injured and an estimated property

All of the rhapsody of spring is
in the air. Thousands of motorists
will be breaking away from tiie
restraints of winter to take week
end drives and trips. Children will
also bring forth bicycles, roller
skates, scooters and little red wag-
ons. All of these things spell added
danger on our streets and highways.
Many of these motorists will
lesson their attention to their job
of driving in order to concentrate
on the rhapsodies of spring, thereby
leading them into traffic violations.
These motorists may possibly for-
get that increased violations of
traffic laws lead to accidents and
deaths. The Sergeant stated. "What
better time than April to remind
motorists, pedestrians and all street
and highway users about the im-
portance of knowing and obeying
traffic laws.”
Graduating senior girls, their
mothers and teachers, were hon-
ored with an afternoon tea by the
Maids and Matrons Club in the

Room April IS.
A program on the art of living
was presented by Mrs. Roy D.
Sanders. Jr. She spoke to the
girls concerning the forming of a
life philosophy to make them bet-
ter able to cope with the problems
they might expect to meet in eith-
er a career or in making a home.
Decoration of maroon and white
ribbons and spring flowers of pur-
ple and white carried out the col-
ors of the graduating class, maro-
on and white. Seasonal flowers do-
nated by members of the club de-
corated the room.

Jack Lovette, attorney, submitted
the charter application to the state
through the recognized channels.
While the charter application
was bi, the group decided that

fall of 1983 when the charter was
granted.
