First Aid
Course
Is Announced
Three Are Hurt
In Accidents
Past Week-End
Three persons were injured,
one seriously, in two highway
accidents in the area Saturday
afternoon and Sunday, according
to investigating officers.
Most seriously hurt was Her-
man S. Price of Fort Worth who
is a patient in Collin Memorial
Hospital where he is receiving
treatment for injuries received
when the car he was driving
went out of control, crashed into
an embankment and overturned
twice, landing on its top. Price
was thrown from the car. The
accident occurred on State High-
way 78, four and a half miles
south of Farmersville Saturday
afternoon.
Mrs. Randy Justiss and Mrs.
Larry Abbott, both of Josephine,
were taken to Collin Memorial
Sunday night about 8:20 when
the automobile in which they
were riding was in collision with
another driven by Gilbert Con-
ner of Wichita Falls. Randy Jus-
tiss of Josephine was driver of
the car.
Cong. Ray Roberts was
principal speaker for the
sion which attracted visitors
time a train came along it sound-
ed like it was coming around the
dresser and across the foot of the
bed. We used to lie awake at
night and wonder what it was
that ever made us want to be a
traveling man.
That was back in the days of
the Model T and irregular bus
schedules and “mixed” trains.
How many remember those—the
mixed trains? For the benefit of
you who don’t, a mixed train was
one that carried both freight and
passengers and the importance of
the two types of cargo was in
that order — the freight came
first, always. Often it was your
only means of getting from one
out-of-the-way place to another
so you had no choice. You rode
in a broken down passenger
coach that doubled as a caboose
and you fussed and fumed and
got more nervous by the minute
as your train stopped at every
way-station to switch off a car
or two and pick up another. We
remember one 18-mile trip that
took three hours one cold, snowy
morning and when we finally
got to our destination the con-
ductor remarked about the good
time we’d made.
It’s different now. They travel
in air-conditioned cars or busses
or trains and they stay in air-
conditioned hotels at night. They
hardly ever get stuck in the mud
and if the weather gets too bad
they just stay home.
There’s another difference, too
—the hotels don’t seem to have
porches any more—porches you

Denney Horn Wins
Trip to Mexico
Denney Horn of the C. P. Horn
Appliance Store here, returned
Sunday night from a delightful
trip to Mexico City and Acapul-
co as a guest of the General Elec-
tric Company air-conditioning
sales department.
Horn, son of Mr. and Mrs. C.
P. Horn, left on Tuesday of last

Funeral Service
Held Sunday For
Traffic Victim
Funeral services were held
Sunday afternoon in the Church
of The Holy Family here for
Gonzalo Rincon, 19, who was
killed in an automobile accident
a mile and a half west of McKin-
ney on State Highway 121 early
Saturday morning.
Driver of the car, Maximo Per-
ez Jr., also of McKinney, was in-
jured.
According to investigating of-
ficers, the car is reported to have
gone out of control at a bridge
and skidded into a 20-foot ditch
and was not discovered for sev-
eral hours.
Rincon’s death was the tenth
highway fatality in the county
this year.
Rincon was born January 10,
1943, in McKinney, the son of
Mr. and Mrs. John Rincon. He
was a member of the senior class
at McKinney High School.
He is survived by his parents;
three brothers, George, Lupe and
Mike Rincon, and his grandmoth-
er, Mrs. Julina Tijerina, all of
McKinney.
Harris-Horn Funeral Directors
had charge of services which
were conducted by Father Meade
and Rev. M. B. Terrill.

vaccine will be given, according
to Dr. Mack M. Hill, county
health officer and president of

Dick Horn, Kiwanis Club pres-
ident and coordinator for the
immunization clinic, said the vac-
Eine will be given at two loca-
tions, the McKinney High School

and 6:00 p. m. There will be no

asked to contribute 25c to help
defray cost of the project.
The Collin County Medical So-
ciety and the City-County Health
Unit will conduct the clinics.

Next to driving a fire truck or
sitting at the throttle of a big
steam locomotive, probably the
most prevalent ambition of just
about every boy in this country
back when we were young, was
to be a traveling man when he
grew up.
We can recall how we used to
pass the hotel in the early eve-
ning and see them lined up there
on the front porch, straw sailor
hats pushed back, cigars at a
jaunty angle, watching the girls
go by. And we can remember,
too, how the girls always made
it a point to pass the hotel, no
matter how far it took them out
of their way. If we could just be
a traveling man when we grew
up we’d have it made—we used
to think.
Well, we did grow up and we
did get to be a traveling man—
for 10 long, weary, miserable
years we fought the mud of win-
ter and the dust and heat of sum-
mer. We put on chains and we
took ’em off; we rode dirty,
smelly trains and busses that
were always late, and we stayed
in dingy small-town hotels where
rats so big they sounded like
horses played leap frog with
each other as they chased. across
metal ceilings all night long. Or,
if it wasn’t the rats, it was mos-
quitoes or sometimes even bed-
bugs. We even got to point where
we felt like we knew those rats
by name—we could tell ’em by
the way they ran or walked or
squealed.
Then, there were the towns
whose hotels were always down
by the railroad track and every

scheduled for Sunday, November lie, on Sunday afternoon, Horn
said.
Also added to the honor roll
were employees of Southwestern
Bell Telephone Company mem-
bers of CWA-CIO 6211.
If you are a member of some
firm which only needs one or
two more donors to be 100%,
why don’t you see what can be
done so your company can join
this group. Let’s all pull togeth-
er and shove this drive over the
top this week.

gaiety as they entered. The
bride’s chosen colors of pink and
red were used effectively in the
decorations.

placed beside the doll.
Guests were received by Miss
Finney, Mr. Harris, Mr. and Mrs.
