Roll of Former County
Citizens Grows Slowly
The roll of former Cooke
county citizens to whom invita-
tions to the Centennial celebra-
tion are to be sent next week
was growing slowly Tuesday.
it
Cooke County Centennial plans
a boost Monday night when they
' voted to contribute $100 to the
commission’s operating fund. The
action came at the regular month-
ly meeting of directors held in
the Chamber’s assembly room.
The commission’s finance com-
mittee, composed of C. B. String-
er, chairman; R. W. Brown, Paul
Campbell and Carroll Sullivant,
are seeking to raise $1,000 as an
operating fund.
J. H. Washmon, district man-
ager for Southwestern Bell Tele-
phone company, told of the work
of his company in extending tele-
phone service in the Gainesville
area during the past year and out-
lined the company’s plans for
1948. The latter, however, which
will call for an outlay of $140,000,
is predicated upon a rate increase,
he indicated.
“Our company has at present a
$302,000 investment in Gaines-
ville, and 69 employes,” Mr.
Washmon said, “and our records
show that local operations sus-
tained a $14,000 loss here last
year.”
He said it was doubtful that his
company could continue to spend
large sums in Gainesville for ad-
-- ditional service unless rates are
, increased enough to allow the
company to operate “out of the
red.”
Upon questioning, Washmon
r said that present plans call for
telephone service to be extended
to the Callisburg community late
this year or early in 1949.
He also told the group that it
. was his company’s policy not to
lend financial support to indus-
trial foundations in the commu-
nities served by the Bell system,
but that the company always has
supported local fund-raising cam-
paigns such as the Red Cross, Boy
Scouts, and others.
Seek Salvation Army Post
Harry O. Kinne, Chamber of
Commerce president, appointed
Howard Simmons, Dr. A. A. Dav-
enport and Bob Bandy to a com-
' mittee to investigate the advis-
ability of seeking a Salvation
Army post for Gainesville.
Bob Murdoch said that Salva-
tion Army solicitors pay regular
calls to Gainesville, but that the
nearest Salvation Army post is in
Sherman.
President Kinne named C. B.
■ Stringer, George Brown and L. C.
Dennis to a special committee to
* study the advisability of Gaines-
ville participating in the Lake
Texoma Fish rodeo this year.
