Chas. M. Cooper, well-known

ed a 40 year certificate and
plaque from the McKinney Lions
Club Wednesday at the noon
luncheon. He is a past president
of the club and has always been
active in its work. Not only has
he worked with Lions projects
but he was always during his ac-

times to serve his church and
community. We congratulate Mr.
Cooper on his well deserved
honor.
looms and tile for use by hands
that at first can move only with
great effort and agony; they are
miles walked to secure a hard-
to-find article, to deliver labora-
tory slips, or to push wheel
chairs down endless corridors.
They also represent an im-
measurable return to the volun-
teers in recovery from self pity.;
in release from shallow types of
self-perpetuating entertainment;
in every form of thank you,
from humble to grandiose.
There is just one hazard. Once
a volunteer works awhile it be-
comes a chronic condition from
which there is no recovery.
Will you take that chance?
Raymond Neal, chairman of
the Collin County Chapter of
The American Red Cross, states
that the chapter needs volun-
teers. Mrs. W. R. Morse, chair-
man of volunteer Services lists
the following opportunities for
service: •
1. Volunteers who like to sew
and perform other crafts, to help
disabled veterans to regain use
of their faculties. The volunteers
will be trained by the Hospital
Occupational Therapist.
2. Typing, three hours a week
on follow-up letters to discharg-
ed patients.
3. Regular Gray Lady service
on the wards at the V. A. Hospi-
tal.
4. Regular Gray Lady service
in other hospitals and institu-
tions in Collin County.
5. Once a week two hour duty
serving coffee and cookies at the
V. A. Hospital in the Red Cross
Canteen service.
“Service is the rent you pay
for the space you occupy.”
Train now to serve others, en-
roll as a volunteer.

Month Of May
One Of Driest
Wheat Onion
Harvest Good
In County
Barring additional rain that
would slow things down again,
the wheat harvest in Collin
County should be completed by
the end of this week, according
to Bill Haggard of Haggard Feed
and Grain.
Following last week’s rains,
farmers were able to get com-
bines back into fields early this
week and have made good head-
way in gathering this year’s ex-
cellent crop of wheat. Oat harv-
est will take a little longer, Hag-
gard said.
Yields have varied from 15 to
50 bushels per acre with the av-
erage about 30 bushels and the
price has remained steady at
$2.03 per bushel.
Rains have delayed gathering
of the onion crop in the county,
Tip McCarley, local grower, said
this week and farmers are just
now getting the harvest into full
swing. McCarley said his crop is
about half gathered.
The quality is good and there
is a big demand for Collin Coun-
ty onions with yellows bringing
$2.50 or more and whites com-
manding an even better price.
Yellows are being shipped every
day but growers are experienc-
ing difficulty in getting whites
cleaned properly for shipping
following the rains.
Yields vary from as little as 40
bushels per acre to as high as
150 bushels.
The crop was damaged some
by late spring freezes.

May Permits
Hit $43,520
Building permits issued by the
City of McKinney during the
month of May totaled $43,520,
according to Ben E. Winston,
building inspector.
May permits brought the total
for the year to $343,531.
During the month there were
6 permits for single family resi-
dences totaling $36,700; 4 garag-
es and carports, $1,550; 2 addi-
tions, $4,370, and 2 alterations,
$900.
The Transportation Commit-
tee of the McKinney Chamber of
Commerce was host to a plan-
ning meeting for the formal op-
ening of Highway 121. A defin-
ite date will be announced soon
but the probable date is around
August 15.
Plans were made to have the
ribbon cutting at the Collin-Fan-
nin County line. A barbecue is
being planned and tickets will be
available to the general public.
An appropriate program and
speakers will be announced lat-
er.
Present at the meeting were
the following: from the McKin-
ney Chamber of Commerce, Bry-
an Miller, Paul Hardin, Choice
McClure and Manager Pat Simp-
son; Clyde Emmons, city manag-
Five thousand hours, two thou-
sand hours, five hundred hours.
The Veterans ' Administration
recognized these hours of serv-
ice and many more given by Col-
lin County volunteers, in a re-
cent ceremony.
But these are more than fig-
ures on a time card. They are
smiles returned to despondent
faces; they are letters written to
worried wives and children; they
are nimble fingers preparing
all across the country when
dairymen open their doors to the
public, staging special events to
make themselves better known
to the public they serve.,
Americans, on an average, do
not consume as much milk and
milk products as do people of
other countries. The June Dairy
Month program provides a way
for nutritionists and others con-
cerned with the eating habits of
people to discuss “nature’s most
perfect food” and its rightful
place in the diet. The Depart-
ment of Agriculture, for ex-
ample, stresses the daily use of
dairy foods, together with meats,
vegetables, fruits and cereals, as
a means toward better eating
habits and better health.
Locally, merchants, business-
men and others will be guests of
Collin County dairymen at a
Dairy Dinner to be given at the
high school cafeteria on Tuesday
evening, June 19, as a part of
this area’s observance of the spe-
cial month. The dinner is being
arranged by Jack Miller, McKin-
ney, Route 3, a director in the
North Texas Producers Assn.;
Harold Frazier, McKinney, pres-
ident of the Collin County unit
of NTPA, and Pat Simpson, local
Chamber of Commerce manager.

June this year is Dairy Month,
focusing the spotlight of national
recognition on the dairy indus-
try and its vital contributions to
American economy, health and
welfare in a modern world.
The story of milk and dairy
foods will be brought to the pub-
lic by all segments of the dairy
industry, united in this 26th an-
nual once-a-y ear observance.
Leaders in agriculture, business,
education and government and
scores of enterprises tied to the
multi-billion dollar dairy indus-
try are combining to herald the
achievements and contributions
of dairying in the American way
of life.
Founded as a modern industry
four short generations ago, dairy-
ing has become the goliath of
agriculture in the United States
and a major- part of its retail
food business. In its transition
dairying has become geared to
the efficient methods of modern
science and technology and has
adopted all of the mass-market-
ing techniques which have char-
acterized the American scene.
To the homemaker, the prog-
ress recorded by the dairy indus-
try has resulted in a wide va-
riety of foods for her family
Am table, many unknown a few
$ years ago and others ageless in
origin but so improved that they
bear little resemblance to their
early forms.
Today’s dairy food family,
which provides about 30 per cent
of the elements essential in the
American diet, includes fresh
whole milk, butter, cheese, ice
cream, cottage cheese, cream and
many other products. Milk itself
may be evaporated, condensed,
skimmed, in non-fat dry form,
flavored or made available in
seemingly endless varieties.
The coming of summer and the
release of dairy cattle in May
and June into new lush meadows
and pastures signalizes the peak
of activity in the cyclic story of
dairying. The dairy industry
unites in June in its biggest an-
nual effort to tell its story and
to encourage use of its products.
June Dairy Month has become
one of the largest food sales
events in the world. It is widely
promoted by dairies, food stores,
restaurants and other outlets, but
also has prompted enthusiastic
support from banks. power com-
panies, machinery suppliers and
others. Within the food industry,
June Dairy Month is recognized
as the year’s greatest sales op-
portunity for dairy products.
June Dairy Month is the time

Suggestions
In an effort to determine what
projects to undertake during the
coming year, McKinney Jaycees
will soon conduct a city-wide
survey asking for suggestions.
Jaycee President Dick Rogers
has announced that his organiz-
ation will send out questionaires
to some 1200 local citizens ask-
ing their assistance in ascertain-
ing what McKinney needs most.
Those receiving the questionaires
are requested to fill them in
promptly and return them to the
Jaycees. A self-addressed and
postage-free envelope will be
enclosed for the convenience of
those receiving the questionaire.
The plan, which is part of a
nation-wide project of Junior
Chambers of Commerce, has the
blessing of the McKinney City
Council which body has given its
endorsement to the project.
When the questionaires are. re-
turned Jaycee officials will have
an opportunity to evaluate sug-
gestions made and determine
just what projects their organ-
ization will adopt for the year.
boys’ quarters. At two, Judy
Price had finally accepted the
fact that everyone in the girls’
quarters was a party-pooper, and
dozed off herself.
At six a. m., Caroline Haddix
decided that the girls had slept
long enough, but no one else
agreed until someone glanced
outside and spotted the neigh-
bor’s seventeen-year-old son
cleaning the swimming pool. At
that instant, every girl was wide
awake, and ready for an invig-
orating early morning swim!
After breakfast, our group
walked to the lake, a block away
and there we sat on the bank
for our Sunday lesson. Much dis-
cussion emerged from the topic,
“What Are Churches For?”
A short morning rain curtail-
ed our outside activities briefly,
during which time we broiled
hamburgers. (Incidentally, Steve
Forte likes catsup on his ham-
burgers, with lettuce, no less.)
It was not a couple of hours,
since lunch, and everyone was
again in or near the pool. Soon
the door opened, and there stood
Anne Arney, her black Ber-
mudas and white blouse dripping
wet. Operation “Annie-Under”
had succeeded!
Doing a little cleaning up be-
fore the others returned from
the pool, I walked into the liv-
ing room, and there on the sofa
lay Trudy Price sound asleep—
the first one to succumb to our
active 24 hour Retreat.
We are convinced that Senior
High Retreats should be an of-
ficial part of President Ken-
nedy’s “Physical Fitness Pro-
gram.” We feel years younger
now than we did before. (Before
the end of the “day after”, that
is!)
The past month wasn’t the
driest May Collin County has
experienced but it came
mighty close to being, accord-
ing to information furnished
by Capt. Roy F. Hall, local
weatherman.
As a matter of record, the
month of May which is sup-
posed to be the wettest of the
year in these parts has formed
the habit of crossing everyone
up the past several years. May,
1962, produced only 1.77 inch-
es of moisture; May, 1961, saw
only 2.44 inches of rain; May,
1960, measured just 1.76, and
May of 1959, 1.85. Before that
the May rainfall was near or
above normal.
Normal for the month is 5.40
inches.
So far in June the area has
received 1.10 inches of rain
with 1.06 of that total coming
on the first, .04 on the second
and .10 early Wednesday
morning.
Normal for June is 3.70 inch-
es.

“If youth is a fault, it is one
we outgrow too soon.” The Trin-
ity Presbyterian Senior High Re-
treat, which we were privileged
to have at our home last week
end, bore absolute proof of this
statement.
From beginning to end of this
24 hour excursion, we were
amazed at the energy, enthusi-
asm, and endurance of our gen-
eration’s younger members.
The minute baggage was un-
loaded, bathing suits were don-
ned, and a steady “stream” from
house to pool began. We broke
for a weiner roast supper, dur-
ing which time Marion Ottoway
promptly spilled a coke on Mil-
ton Bergman, and had to do pen-
ance by roasting his next hot
dog.
Sandra Robertson, Mary Wil-
cox, and her guest, Becky Kast-
en, cornered us between the hot
dogs and marshmallows to ask
if they might throw a “certain
person” into the swimming pool,
and so a web of intrigue sur-
rounded our camp.
Our four new senior high stu-
dents, Becky Nuttall, Becky
Wood, Gary Bergman, and Rog-
er Forte, paled slightly when
told they would be put through
the customary initiation. (They
got off with a few extra duck-
ings—an appropriate initiation
for “Fish” we thought.)
Swimming stopped at mid-
night, but not the day’s activi-
ties. There was hair to be rolled
up, (After all, we wanted to
look our best for the next day’s
swim!). There were several pairs
of new Bermudas to be mended,

Meetings Are
In Progress
Although attendance at insect
control meetings being held in
various sections of the county
this week has been hindered by
the necessity of completing grain
harvest, County Agent Jack
Doby said Wednesday that inter-
est is high and that he believes
a great deal of good will be ac-
complished.
The meetings, being conduct-
ed by Doby and John Cobb, a
former vocational agricultural
instructor who was employed to
assist him, began on Monday and
will continue through Friday of
this week. The Friday schedule
includes Rhea’s Mill at 8:30 a. m.
with Jack Furr as chairman; Al-
len at 10 a. m. with F. V. Hefner
as chairman; Branch at 1:30 p.m.
L. R. Welborn, and McKinney
(southeast) at 3:00 p. m. with
Riley Boren.
These meetings are a part of an
all-out effort being made by the
Blackland Income Growth (BIG)
organization to aid cotton pro-
ducers with insect control. An-
thony Geer, Anna banker, is
county chairman of BIG. Jim
Wysong of Melissa, chairman of
the Collin County Crops Com-
mittee and his group have assum-
ed responsibility for the local
meetings. Gerald Furr is presi-
dent and Jerry Standefer is sec-
retary-treasurer of the local en-
tomology association.
County Agent Doby said that
high winds this spring have in-
terfered greatly with spraying
young cotton but that there is
plenty of moisture and the out-
look is good. Most cotton is a lit-
tle later than usual this year,
Doby added.

Fire Department
Kept Busy in May
The McKinney Fire Depart-
ment had a busy time of it dur-
ing the month of May when no
fewer than 25 calls were receiv-
ed and answered, according to a
check of the log book at the fire
station in City Hall.
Six of the May calls were to
general alarms; 16 were booster
calls inside the city limits and
the other four were booster runs
outside the city limits.
General alarms came as fol-
lows: May 5, 1211 Westmoreland
Dr.; May 6, Wysong Clinic; May
24, 601 Leland; May 28, 1406 S.
Tennessee and 811 S. Tennessee.
The last two were to extinguish
fires caused by lightning during
a severe electrical storm.
So far in June the department
has answered one general alarm
which turned out to be false and
two booster calls, one of which
was to extinguish a wheat field
fire at the Flying M Ranch. The
truck traveled 46 miles answer-
ing the call.
