So far this hurricane season,
tropical storms or hurricanes
haven't come down this far in the
Gulf. But as they found out in
places like Georgia last week,
these storms can produce flooding
rather than just beneficial rains.

chomping at the bits to see that.
The collision itself will be an un-
precedented astronomical event
since it will be the first time since
the invention of the telescope in
the 1600s that the effects of the
impact of a comet on a planet w ill
be observed.
Even more exciting, this is the
first time scientists have been able
to predict a collision.
Since I don't have a telescope,
and I don't think many of our
readers do either, well just have

burglary of Giddings
sandwich shop
Giddings Police were called out
Saturday morning at 9:48 a.m. to
investigate a burglary at the Sub-
way Shop located at the Giddings
Plaza Shopping Center.
Manager Wesley Green opened
up the store Saturday morning
and noticed that the cash register
tray was laying on the counter in
the kitchen empty. He then called
the police and asked them to in-
vestigate.
Police officers took fingerprints
on the inside of the front door and
the cash register tray and took pic-
tures of the scene.
Mr. Green reported that $328
was stolen from the tray and the
store cash box.

WATER RATIONING -
Giddings residents are being
asked to do some voluntary water
rationing.
It's not a lack of water that's
causing the problem but rather a
lack of elevated storage tanks to
keep the water in.
Some years we've had watering
rationing in Giddings because one
or more of the water wells weren't
producing at capacity or were out
of service.
This time we’ve got low water
pressure and it's because one of
the elevated water towers in east
Giddings had to be drained so that
the inside could be repainted.
It had been repainted during the
past year, but it began flaking off.
So it's got to be repainted again.
Certainly there couldn't be a
worse time for having to do it than
in the middle of a hot, dry sum-
mer. But that's the way it goes.
So the City is asking residents to

HIT-AND-MISS SHOWERS -
it's really starting to get dry all
over the Central Texas area.
Where the showers hit, it cer-
tainly helps a little - like in the
Fedor area where isolated show-
ers produced up to an inch of mois-
ture Saturday afternoon.
Right now many of the hay
meadows all over Lee County
aren't growing much since the last
cuttings. Those light showers help
a little but it takes much more
than that to really do them any
good.
What's really been sapping the
topsoil moisture during the latter
part of June and so far in July is
the strong southerly hot, dry
winds.
Even some sections of the county
which have received several
inches or more of moisture during
the past 2 or 3 weeks are starting
to feel the effects of the dry winds
and high temperatures.
Unfortunately, July isn't known
for being a big rainfall month. So
we re sort of at the mercy of some
thunderstorm development when-
ever a little moisture moves in
from the coast.
Other than that, our biggest
hope fir a really good soaking rain
during the summer is a storm in
t he Gulf of Mexico.

canes have broken droughts and
