The old Pope Theater Building
in McKinney, for nearly half a
century the center of stage and
screen entertainment here, is be-

progress. The building, which
has stood unused for several
years now, is being razed to pro-
vide parking space for the new
Central National Bank which of-
ficials say will be completed and
occupied in the very near future. ।
According to Capt. Roy F. Hall
who keeps up with matters of
this nature, the theater building
was started in 1907 by the late
F. B. Pope and was completed
the following year. It was not
formally opened, however, for a

completion.

The Collin County National
Bank announced today its con-
tinued growth and confidence in
this area, by declaring an 8 per
cent semi-annual dividend on its
capital stock. This is the bank’s
104th semi-annual dividend. In
being able to do this, the direc-
tors, officers, and employees wish
to express this utmost thanks to
the people of this area.
“We believe our area has tre-
mendous potential for present
and future growth, and we just
want to help you to be a part of
it by being of continued service
to you,” said President Whisen-
ant.

Progress in the purchase of
right-of-way for two new Collin
County highways and expecta-
tion that R-O-W buying can start
soon on a third was announced
Wednesday by County Judge
Don Weaver Davis.
Judge Davis said that right-of-
way has been secured for the
extension of Central Expressway
(U.S. Highway 75) from the
present intersection with State
121, southwest of McKinney, to
Honey Creek Farm, three miles
north of town. The new route of
the highway will pass through
the west edge of McKinney, west
of Collin Memorial Hospital be-
tween the old Cameron and
Graves homes, west of VA Hos-
pital and then diagonally to the
above mentioned Honey Creek
Farm area. From there it is an-
ticipated that the road will fol-

Road north, bypassing Melissa
and Anna, to the Grayson Coun-

Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Ly-

Nancy Eubanks underwent
surgery in Wysong Hospital last
week so she’d be sure to be in
tip-top shape for opening of the

Bank in near future. We’re glad
that Nancy is recuperating nice-

responsibilities of the President’s
wife when the bank opens.

On at least one occasion the
theater was used to demonstrate
the perfection to which the re-

phonograph record had been de-
veloped. The old J. P. Dowell
store here was dealer for Victor
Phonographs and records and
the firm brought in artists of va-
rious sorts, had them stand by a
Victrola playing one of their rec-
ords, and by the simple process
of first turning off the machine
and then having the artist stop
singing, dared the audience to

The Texas Guide for Control-

ing and prayer in public schools
has created widespread turmoil
and considerable comment on the
part of leaders of various relig-
ious groups across the nation, but
the apparent lack of concern on
the part of the general public re-
garding the possible far-reaching
effects of the court’s ruling is, to
us, the most dangerous aspect of
the entire matter.
Members of the court, in hand-
ing down their decision, stressed
the word “required”, saying that
it would be unconstitutional to
force a child to participate in
Bible reading and prayer in our
schools. This statement alone
makes us wonder why this
august body thought it necessary
to rule on the matter at all.
While we arc certainly not fam-
iliar with the practice followed
in every school system, we have
never heard of a public school
that “required” a child to take
part in any activity of this na-
ture. The practice, as we under-
stand it, is handled in much the
same way as are other extra-cur-
ricular activities—on an optional
basis.
For example, there is at least
one religious group which for-
bids its members to repeat the
oath of allegiance to the United
States Flag and to take part in
school celebrations of Christ-
mas. The schools, feeling that the
children of these people have at
least a legal right to their beliefs,
make no effort to force them to
conform but proceed without

Princeton Baptists
To Hold Revival
The Summer Evangelistic Re-
vival Services of the First Bap-
tist Church of Princeton begin
Sunday, July 14 and continue
through the following Sunday,
July 21. The evangelist will be
Rev. Robin L. Guess of the First
Baptist Church, Navasota, Texas,
and the music director will be
Wendell McGuire, who was just
recently called by the Princeton
Church to serve in the capacity
of music-youth director.
Services will be held each
morning at 10 o’clock with eve-
High School and has been named
assistant director of the Laubach
Literacy Program in Mexico.
Miss Hayes has been at Abilene
High for 12 years. She will be-
gin her new duties in Mexico
City in September after an ex-
tended vacation.
Miss Hayes taught in McKin-
ney schools for a number of
years. Her father, before his
death, was manager of McKin-
ney Dry Goods Co. here while
that store was located on the
northeast corner of the square.
The family home was at 412
West Louisiana Street.
In her new assignment, which
she officially accepted last April
1, Miss Hayes will be responsible
for starting a “human literacy
chain” which she hopes will
spread throughout Mexico with-
in five years.
Mexico has a high rate of illit-
eracy, she explained, and the
purpose of the Laubach program
is to teach illiterates in city
slums and outlying villages to
read and write sufficiently so
that they can teach others. She
will teach the special program in
20 hours of classroom time in
each locality.
“We will ask those who show
a special aptitude for learning to
go out and teach others,” she
said. Once a group of people has
learned to read and write using
this unique program, the instruc-
tor will leave behind a series of
simply-worded p a m phlcts on
how the “pupils” can improve
sanitary conditions, how to grow
better crops, and how to live a
better life. The teacher also
leaves several booklets telling
the story of Christ, Miss Hayes
said.
She is a graduate of Texas
Woman’s University where she
received her Bachelor and Mas-
ter of Arts Degrees and has done
advanced work at the University
of Costa Rica and in Mexico. She
formerly served for the Disciples
of Christ in a Mission program
in Mexico during summer
months.
An official State Health De-
partment citation for job compe-
tency has been awarded to H. C.
Powell, McKinney superintend-
ent of public works, and D. A.
Ulch, operator of the McKinney
city waste water treatment plant.
The impressive document,
signed by the state health com-
missioner and officers of the
Texas Water and Sewage Works
Association, was presented to
Powell and Ulch after they dem-
onstrated their skill in waste
plant management and an und-
erstanding of the work’s import-
ance in water pollution and com-
municable disease control.
Under the State Health De-
partment’s operator certification
program, operators of city utili-
ty plants are carefully examined
on their technical know-how and
their knowledge of their work’s
influence on community health.
Each must pass a stiff written
examination to qualify for cer-
tification.
Points toward certification are
earned through actual work ex-
perience and by attending an-
nual district and state short
schools sponsored and conducted
by the State Health Department,
the engineering extension serv-
ice of Texas A and M College,
and the Texas Water and Sewage
Works Association.
State law requires that at least
one certified operator be on duty
during each shift at a city water
or waste water treatment plant.
But other plant personnel often
seek certification on their own
time and at their own expense to
advance themselves professional-
ly and to increase their efficien-
cy as vital public servants.
about it the court’s decision
makes it the law of the land and
we should abide by it whether it
is right or wrong. We just can’t
bring outself to feel this way
about so important a matter.
Sad to say, there are multi-
plied hundreds of thousands of
children in this land of ours who
receive no religious training in
the home. This being true, it is
safe to assume that this group, or
most of them at least, never, or
hardly ever, attend Sunday
School and are, therefore, de-
prived of any opportunity to
study and learn the great truths
of the Bitlie. This fact alone
should be all the argument need-
ed in favor of the reading of the
Holy Bible in schools. Is the last
hope of religious training for
these youngsters to be taken
away?
Another thing that strikes us
as something to think about
when considering the matter is
the fact that the ruling of the
court was made, in part, at the
request of an atheist—one who
denies the existence of a supreme
being—who did not want his
child exposed to the Bible.
It is high time that we, as in-
dividuals, become vitally con-
cerned with matters of so great
importance as this.
The arrest in Dallas of two ad-
ditional suspects brought to six
the number of persons appre-
hended in connection with last
week’s bogus check-c ashing
spree here when forged pay-roll
checks totaling nearly $300 were
.cashed. Police say the checks
were stolen in a recent Dallas
burglary.
Capt. George Taylor of the lo-
cal police department said Wed-
nesday that two suspects be-
lieved to have been involved in
the scheme here had been picked
up in Dallas and that charges of
forgery and passing were to be
filed against the pair during the
day.
Capt. Taylor said that three
adults and one juvenile had al-
ready been arrested here. One
of these, Mrs. Lillian Faye
Wright, 21, of Seagoville, was
still in jail here, bond pending.
Linda Batson, 18, of Dallas was
turned over to Denton police for
investigation but McKinney still
has a “hold” on the prisoner, and

W. S. Caraway, Chairman of
the Collin County ASC Commit-
tee today reviewed certain wheat
program provisions still in ef-
fect under existing law.
For 1964, the Chairman ex-
plained the legislation provides
that price support at 50 per cent
of parity—about $1.25 per bush-
el, on the average, will be avail-
able to producers who plant
within their acreage allotments
that remain in effect even
though quotas were disapproved
in the referendum. There will be
no quota penalties for planting in
excess of the 1964 acreage allot-
ments. However, overplanting
1964 allotments will reduce the
acreage history credit used in de-
termining future allotments.
Mr. Caraway points out that
farmers who have Conservation
Reserve contracts agreed to plant
within the larger of their acreage
allotments or 15 acres, and this
means that the 1964 conserva-
tion reserve payments is depend-
ent on planting within this acre-
age.
It was also explained that pro-
ducers may still file an applica-
tion for a new farm wheat allot-
ment for 1964 on or before July
1. Eligibility requirements for
new farm allotments are avail-
able at the Collin County ASCS
office, Room 210, Federal Build-
ing, McKinney, Texas.

According to police, 12 checks

Three checks had been cash lo-

Capt. Taylor said that it was

there is evidence that some of

Chief Nitcholas and Capt. Tay-

making it possible for an early
arrest to be made.
