With only $16,961 pledged up
to Wednesday of this week, the
Greater McKinney United Fund
drive for 1963 was still approxi-
mately $12,000 short of its an-
nounced goal of $29,000, accord-
ing to figures released by J. P.
Huey, co-chairman with Dick
Horn for the current campaign.
Based on the above figures, on-
ly 59 pei' cent of the goal has
been reached.
Mr. Huey said that the advance
Fund drive, under the leadership
of Hansford Ray and Choice Mc-
Clure, had turned in pledges of
$13,015 against a quota of $14,500.
The General Business drive,
with Carey Cox and David Mel-
ton as co-chairman, has raised
$1,312 of a $2100 Quota.
The Employee Division, Dennis
Scott chairman, has reported
$2,500 toward its quota of $12,400.
Only a small number of workers
have reported results of their
solicitation in this division, how-
ever.
Co-chairmen Huey and Horn
urge workers to make their calls
and turn in cards at the earliest
possible moment.

New Fun Game
Is Announced
lace Wilson of McKinney, is a
Collin County native and a grad-
uate of McKinney High School.
Frank Winfrey is vocational
agriculture teacher and FFA
Chapter Advisor at Frisco.
The McKinney Lions will face
five new opponents on the grid-
iron next fall in a 10-game sched-
ule announced this week by
Coach Charles Qualls. Six of the
1964 games will be played here.
In a reshuffling of the sched-
ule, both district and non-district,
brought on by the advancement
of Paris from Class 3A to 4A; the
addition of two schools, South
Garland and Lake Highlands, to
the district, and the dropping of
Garland, Arlington and Richard-
son from the calendar, McKinney
will meet Weatherford, Athens
and a Dallas school yet to be
named, in non-conference games.
Athens and the Dallas school will
come to McKinney in 1964 while
the Lions play at Weatherford.
Under the new arrangement,
Sulphur Springs will come to Mc-
Kinney again next fall and the
Lions will travel to Greenville
for the second year in a row.
Coach Qualls said that, under
the new schedule, the Lions will
most likely never have more than
five games away from home and
that every other year they will
have six home games as the Dal-
las school will likely play here
each year.
McKinney will open the sea-
son at Weatherford on Septem-
ber 11, and play Athens here on
September 18 and the Dallas
school here on September 25.
Then follows an open date after
which McKinney will launch in-
to the district schedule with no
open dates.
The complete 1964 schedule fol-
lows:
Sept. 11—at Weatherford
Sept. 18—Athens here
Sept. 25—Dallas here
Oct. 2—Open
Oct. 9—at Bonham
Oct. 16—Sulphur Springs here
Oct. 23—Gainesville here
Oct. 30—at Greenville
Nov. 6—South Garland here
Nov. 3—Lake Highlands
at Richardson
Nov. 20—Mt. Pleasant here.

J. H. Kitching, chief of the

Hospital is progressing satisfac-
torily and very soon patients will
be able to keep up with their fa-
vorite soap opera or comedy show
while recuperating from illness,
Hospital Administrator J. P. Huey
said this week.
The hospital purchased the 100
General Electric sets from the
C. P. Horn Appliance store here
after receiving bids from several
dealers. Some 85 of the sets are
already in service and others are
being installed as fast as possible.
Remote controls allow each pa-
tient to turn sets on and off,
change channels and regulate
volume by means of push buttons
conveniently located near the
bed. Pillow speakers for each
bed make it possible for a pa-
tient to listen to his favorite pro-
gram without disturbing the per-
son in the next bed.
In addition, the hospital has
recently installed telephones in
every room with service for ev-
ery bed. Direct dialing service
is provided. No calls are allowed
after visiting hours.

recently recovered from a brok-

The importance of completely
doing away with discarded and
unused refrigerators was spot-
lighted here a few days agp
when two little children narrow-
ly escaped with their lives af-
ter becoming locked inside a box
while at play.
Kathy Jo Marie Parks, 5, and
her little brother, Richard Eu-
gene, 4, children of Mrs. Dorothy
Parks and grandchildren of Mr.
and Mrs. Thurman Bales, were
playing around the yard of their
grandparents’ home while their
mother busied herself with the
housework. Their grandmother
was away for the day and grand-
utes, just to be certain all was
well, and when they failed to
answer her call she went into
the yard to find out what they
were doing. But they were no-
where to be seen.
Then began a frantic search
which ended when she found
their almost lifeless bodies in-
side the refrigerator. An am-
bulance was called and the chil-
dren rushed, unconscious, to a
hospital where they were reviv-
ed. Doctors say they were dis-
covered barely in time. Another
minute or two and it would have
been too late.
There was no carelessness or
neglect here. Handles had been

Purnell, Nina Kressly, Katherine

were her two babies, already un-
conscious.
