Collin County Onions
Bring Record Price
Collin County onions brought as
much as $4 per 50-pound bag last
week, the highest price every paid
locally, according to information
received Monday. The record price
was paid for No. 1 grade.
In the neighborhood of 350 to
400 trucks and freight cars of
onions have been shipped from this
area this month. The harvest is ex-
pected to be over within a week.
While the quantity of the crop
has been somewhat shorter than
usual this year the quality has
been high and the prices paid have
averaged around $3 to $3.50 for
the top grades.
The fact that very little rain has
fallen during the season is credited
with increasing the quailty of the
crop.

Yarborough urged “all Texans

administration in Texas.”
“We do not seek a mere personal

“After the victory, ours wil be
a task not of vengeance but of res-
toration. We will restore honor and

government.”

cation director. Recognition of
guests will be made by Rev. James
Weir, pastor.
Construction of the new 39x75-
foot sanctuary, remodeling of the
old activities building, and adding
a new educational wing, was begun
on January 1, 1956, at a cost of ap-
proximately $60,000. Cost of fur-
nishings and gifts to the buildings
have brought the valuation to more
than $75,000. The three conecting
structures are modified Colonial in
appearance. Exterior of the build-
ings is Venetian pink brick,
trimmed in white, with a 40-foot
copper spire over the main en-
trance. Pink seeded glass was used
in the tall narrow windows of the
sanctuary, while exterior light
standards and railings are of black
wrought iron.
The sanctuary will seat 350 peo-
ple. Public address speakers will
carry the services to the nursery
and secondary assembly areas.
The interior of the completely
air-conditioned sanctuary is done
in shades of rose, accented by
white ceilings and panelling. Over-
head lights are chain-hung, hexa-
gon-shaped bronze chandliers, with
extra flush-mounted lights in the
recessed choir. The floors are cov-
ered with soft grey asphalt tile.
Containing four assemly areas,
kitchen, nursery featuring built-in
cribs, 17 classrooms, restrooms, li-
brary, and pastor’s office, the edu-
cational areas cover 4380 square
feet.
Many gifts have helped to make
the new buildings outstanding as to
detailing and equipment. One of
the larger gifts is a Hammond or-
gan, given by Mr. and Mrs. David
B. Yarbrough of Dallas. Other gifts
include altar furnishings, glass for
the sanctaury windows, bedding
for the nursery, collection plates,
and many smaller items.
Regular Sunday morning serv-
ices will precede the dedication on
July 1. Following the afternoon
program, all units will be open to
guests and members. Evening wor-
ship services will conclude with
the observance ofthe Lord’s Supper.

Local Post Office
McKinney was one step nearer a
badly needed now post office build-
ing this week with the announce-
ment from Washington that the
General Services Administration
had informed Sen. Price Daniel of
the approval of $480,000 for the
project.
The project, to be constructed un-
der the lease-purchase plan, now
goes to the Bureau of the Budget
and, if approved there, must be ap-
proved by the Public Works Com-
mittees of both houses of Congress
before construction can begin.
The new building in McKinney
would be erected on a large lot at
the intersection of Kentucky and
Lamar Streets purchased for the
purpose a number of years ago. The
new site is just two blocks north
from the northwest corner of the
public square.
