THOUGHT FOR TODAY
- “Though you hide it from men,
heaven sees you act.”
********
H-S grads of ’66, remember
this .one: “Genius without Edu-
cation is like Silver in the Mine.”
... Go to college—polish up
your talents, and maybe develop
some you didn’t realize you have!
********
Fly that proud emblem of
freedom, the great Flag of the
United States of America, the
Fourth of July.

TODAY’S CHUCKLES
A clerk was handed a pay en-
4 velope which, by error, contain-
ed a blank check.
The astonished clerk looked
at it and moaned.
“Just what I thought would
happen," he said. “My deduc-
tions finally caught up with my
salary.”
AY ********
If you could kick the person
responsible for most of your
troubles, you wouldn’t be able
to sit down for six months.
********
Help keep America strong. On
that Fourth of July trip, exercise
great care against accidents. Re-
member: A definite weakness is
the deplorable slaughter on our
highways . . . Come back alive!
********
And now that that’s said, have
an enjoyable holiday, safely,
sanely.

gagement in the Vietnamese
War—US Navy planes sank
three North Vietnamese torpe-
do baots in the Gulf of Tonkin.
The US command says the torpe-
do boats had made a high-speed
run at an American destroyer.
Four US planes have been
shot down over North Viet Nam
in the latest announced US air
action over that country. One
pilot was picked’up at sea—the
others were seen parachuting—
but could not be rescued be-
cause of ground fire. They are
listed as missing in action. A
fuel dump in the Dong Hoi area
was the target.
In the Tonkin Gulf action—14
planes from the carrier Hancock

the battle against the torpedo
boats 38 miles from the North
Vietnamese coast. Navy destroy-
ers in the area picked up 19
North Vietnamese survivors.

and Wesley Trojacek, vice-presi-
dent and shop superintendent,
and Charlie J. Pouzar, depart-
ment foreman, have arrived
home from Baltimore, Md.,
where they participated in the
Automotive Electric Institute of
the Automotive Parts Rebuild-

Pouzar___________-_____________
They also visited four other
plants on their trip and part of
the clinic took place in these
plants. Two of the plants were
in Atlanta; the other two, in
Baltimore.
The Ennis industrialists feel
that they gained considerable
information of value to their
enterprise here and, also, had
the privilege of again being with
old friends of former meetings.
Mayor Fallen’s late brother,
Leon Fallen, joined the organiza-
tion in 1942, thus Fallen’s has

planes ,and one plane was hit—
but made it safely back to its
carrier.
In ground action—a retreating
VC unit ambushed a US c o m-
pany just 2% miles from the
Cambodian border—but fled in
the face of US reinforcements.
An Air Force investigation
shows that eight Vietnamese
civilians were killed yesterday in
the accidentia! US bombing of a
village about 15 miles north of
Saigon. A spokesman said a
cannister of unused explosives
being jettisoned from one plane
apparently did all the harm,
with the explosive possibly stick-
ing for a moment and therefore
falling in an inhabited rather
than an uninhabited area.
The US commander in South
Viet Nam—General William
today when asked if he would
say the allies have started to win
in South Viet Nam. He also said
"we have a long way to go but—
without question, the enemy is
taking bitter losses and suffer-
ing.both physically and psy-
chologically.”
South Vietnamese Premier Ky
predicts the people of North
Viet Nam will overthrow their
communist regime soon—but he
did not say when “soon” will be.
He said he had no specific in-
telligence reports to back up
the forecast.

lene, Kan., during the observance of the Dwight D. Eisen-

Fruiting Most Cotton
Likely 2 Weeks Late
"This crop year is about as insect problems. Very few boll-
different from those we have
experienced lately as it is pos-
sible to be. Most farmers’ crops
are about two weeks later than
usual in fruiting.”
Thus declared County Agent
Uel Stockard' today. He explain-
ed:
“Fields checked last week
generally needed more fruit set
and fleahoppers were present in
damaging numbers.
“Cotton plants are just at the
stage when they will set a large
amount of fruit in a short time
provided the fleahoppers are
kept below damaging numbers.
“Farmers who have some fruit
set need to keep fleahoppers
populations down for addi-
tional fruiting should consider
insecticide applications which
will preserve as many beneficial
insects as possible.
“Many field’s checked last
week in the round of field meet-
ings to work with farmers on
WEATHER
Clear to partly cloudy and
warm this afternoon through
Sunday. High both after-
noons middle 90s and low to-
night lower 70s. Wind south-
easterly about 10 miles per
hour.
The Ennis City Commission,
which ordinarily holds its
monthly session on “first Mon-
day’,’ is to conduct its July
meeting Tuesday, July 5—as
Monday is the Independence Day
holiday.
A comparatively light agenda
is prospective.
The audit report for the last
fiscal year will be presented’
and will show that the auditors
have found all in excellent con-
dition. It conforms to the
standards of financial reporting
as established by the Municipal
Finance Officers of the U. S.
and Canada, from whom a cer-
tificate of performance was is-
sued in 1961 for Ennis.
Also, there will be the zoning
application of Frank L. Flowers
of 101 S. Owens, asking the
zoning be changed from 2F to
retail, and which is recommend-
ed by the Planning and Zoning
worms or bollworm eggs were
found. In a number of fields,
weevils grubs were picked up in
squares which had fallen to the
ground.
"However—we are a few days
ahead of the time we normally
expect to have bollworm build-
ups. July 8-15 is the normal time
we see these buildups.”
