Did you ever watch a
take a p ece of wood sixteen by
five inches, that cost him less
than a dollar, and make a violin
out of it worth $150? It was an
inspiration the other day to
spend a few minutes in the shop
of Gilbert Couch of Bowie,
Where he showed us many parts
of violins, guitars, mandolins,
what-nots and various other
works of wood-art he has made
or is making.- With great
genius and understanding and
deep love for different kmds of
woods he pointed out the beauty
and the grain and the strength
and luster, and musical value
of them—many of them from
varieties of native wood, com-
mon to Texas and this section,
-which are.seen often with little
^ppjfciation, including the peacn,
walnut, cedar, oak, mesquite.
Most violins, he pointed out,
are made of spruce and maple.
Ht^has made many of the finest
l lioFins in America.

"Pursuant to a plan that has
been worked out in Bowie and
other cities, for what is consid-
ered ' appropriate observance of
“D” day, we are requesting that
all business establishments close
doors for a period of one hour,

been started by our Allied Arms.
The signal will be three short
blasts and one long blast of the

be repeated so all may hear and
understand its purpose. Follow-
ing the siren signal the occasion
will also be signaled by ringing
of the church bell at the First
Presbyterian Church.
“Ministers of Bowie churches
hive arranged to be at their
respective churches at that hour
to lead the people in prayer for
the success of our Arms in the
Invasion, and by closing of bus-
iness establishments for that,
hour it will make it more con-
venient for all who desire to at-
tend-these services to do so.
Respectfully,
JOHN C. McNATT,
Mayor of the City of Bowie,
Texas."
At the meeting of the Bowie
