Saturday Disturbance
Local police are investigating
a disturbance that occurred Sat-
urday night in the 800 block of
North Church Street when sev-
eral shots, fired from a passing
automobile, broke a window and
shattered a mirror inside a house.
Details of the affair are being
withheld by police, however,
residents of the neighborhood
say they heard a series of some
four or five shots early in the
evening and, about a half hour
later, saw the car pass again and
heard several more shots. As far
as could be learned, no one was
injured and damage to the resi-
dence was reported as compara-
tively light.
Police say no charges have
been filed.

mire, a 41-year-old liberal Dem-
ocrat, scored a smashing upset
victory in Wisconsin’s special
election for the U. S. Senate seat
left vacant by the death of Joseph
McCarthy (R-Wis.).
Proxmire, who became the
first Democrat elected to the Sen-
ate by this state in 25 years,
scored his victory over Republi-
can three-time governor Walter
J. Kohler, a staunch supporter of
President Eisenhower and twice
a victor over Proxmire in races

for the governor’s post.
The election is for the 16
months remaining of McCarthy’s
term. Proxmire will take office
as sown as he is accredited by the
State Canvass Board. That prob-
ably will be within 10 days.
The victory will give Senate
Democrats 50 seats compared
with 46 for the Republicans.
Proxmire’s victory was made
more impressive by the margin
he rolled up—more than 122,000
votes, with only about 30 per
cent of the state’s eligible voters
taking part. Even so, the total
vote was higher than anyone ex-
cept state Democratic party offi-
cials predicted.
The total vote of nearly 800,000
is about 300,000 more than the

The center was first built by

opened, however, it was leased to
the McKinney Jaycees and this

Return From Vacation
Mr. and Mrs. U. N. Clary re-
turned recently from a very in-
teresting trip to Pacific North-
west and Alaska. They went by
way of Seattle, visiting enroute
Yellowstone and Glacier Nation-
al Parks.
At Seattle they took a boat,
sailing up the Inside Passage, to
Juneau, Alaska. There was much
scenery viewed from the boat
which was not out of sight of
land at any time. The “Nar-
rows” in northern part of Inside
Passage was especially interest-
ing to the photographer. The boat
stopped at Victoria, Vancouver,
Prince Rupert Canada and Ket-
chikan, Alaska. They enplaned at
Juneau and flew down the beau-
tiful Lynn Canal to Skagway.
There they took the famous
White Pass and Yukon narrow
guage railroad following the gold
trail of ’98 to White Horse Can-
ada. They flew to Fairbanks and
from there visited Kotzebue,
Nome, Mt. McKinley National
Park, Copper Center, Valdez,
Portage and Anchorage. They
flew from Anchorage to Seattle.
They thought the high points
of their Alaskan trip were their
visits to the Eskimo villages of
Kotzebue and Nome and their
trip to Mt. McKinley National
Park.
On their return home, the
Clarys visited interesting points
in Oregon, Idaho, Utah and Col-
orado. They found Estes National
Park in Colorado very cool and
interesting.

ing Class A Plano early in Sep-
tember and went on to win 6 and
lose 4 games. The 1956 Coon
team was young and inexper-
ienced and gave an unusually
fine account of themselves ail
season. This year, the same
squad, with only a few excep-
tions, will be back in uniform
and they can be counted on to
show marked improvement.
Coach Jaggers and his capable
assistant, Bobby Frizzell, have 13
lettermen back in a squad that
numbers approximately 30 boys
and will start a team made up
entirely of returning award win-
ners. They will have three sen-
iors, four juniors and four soph,
omores in their starting aggre-
gation. •
At Wylie, Coach Dodd will
have lots of experience on his
35-man squad of 15 lettermen
and 20 who are either squadmen
from last year of newcomers to
the team. Wylie will be playing
its final year in Conference B.
Because of continued increases in
enrollment the Pirates, accord-
ing to reports, will move up to
Conference A in 1958, giving
Collin County three teams in
that classification.
District 12-B is composed of
Wylie, Frisco, Anna, Royse City,
wright.
Frisco plays Plano at Frisco
and Wylie plays at Farmersville
Friday night, Sept. 6.
