Town Ain't What
Sse Used To Be
HAYRICK tl'P) — For the
second time in its 57-year his-
tory, a town in Texas has to
pack up and move — court
house and all.
And some of the one-thousand
residents of the little West Tex-
as town of Robert Lee are be-
ginning to feel like gypsys.
They can remember back in
1S!M> vfien the town — then
known as Hayrick — had to
move several miles to the banks
of the Colorado just one year
after the town was settled. At
that time, it was re-christened
in honor of the confederate gen-
eral.
Now the proposed Buffalo !
Dam across the Colorado will j
put Robert Lee under 12 feet of
water — so the town must move |
again. There are those who i
think that if the town is re-
christened again, an appropriate
name.
v
Army men, under the direc-;
tion of Major Walter Reed, dis- |
covered the cause and remedy
for yellow fever in one of the
most heroic stories in the annals \
of our history.
