The Naples MONITOR
78 years old . . and new every week
VOLUME 78
NAPLES, TEXAS THURSDAY, NOV. 21, 1963
NUMBER 18

MAIN
STREET
If you sometimes get the
feeling that larger towns
around us don't know we exist
except when we're shopping
with them, you're right.
A Naples firemen called a
Longview supply house this
week and explained who it was
for.
"Naples?", said the lady
who answered the Longview
phone. "Is that in Texas?"
The Naples Furniture and
Appliance store held its for-
mal opening last week and
gave away free turkeys to
six lucky visitors.
Three of the winners were
Charles Smith, Miss Fannie
Walker and Jimmy Fulgham.
The other three were:
Mrs. Lee Davis. Her hus-
band, as a Naples grocer, sells
turkeys.
Mrs. J. C. Mitchell. Her hus-
band is serviceman for Thomp-
son's Furniture and Appliance
Store in Naples.
And Mrs. Ray Thigpen, who
incidentally drew her own
name from the several hun-
dred in the box. Her husband
is one of the owners of the
Omaha Furniture and Appli-
ance Store.
In the spirit of the season,
do your Saturday, Nov. 23,
shopping early.
What season?
Football, that's what.
All of the Naples stores ex-
cept the few who don't care
fcbout the Pewitt Brahmas and
ife.'r bi-district game at Tex-
■ Vpa Saturday night will
"4R early so owners and em-
pties will be able to attend
the game.
Most businesses will be shut
tight by 5:30 p.m.
You've heard of a person
breaking into a house.
How about one breaking
out?
Mrs. H. D. Brock worked
herself into that predicament
this week.
She was baby-sitting with
Todd Tolbert Grimes, the son
of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Grimes,
and had bathed him.
When she went into another
room for a towel, she closed
the door behind her and it
locked.
Mrs. Brock took the only
way out — a squeeze over an
air conditioner and out the
window so she could go back
into the house through a
door.
The Pewitt Brahmas and
Linden-Kildare Tigers square
off Saturday night at Texar-
kana in the first round of the
state Class AA football play-
offs.
The Brahmas are undisput-
ed champions of District 13AA
and the Tigers walked through
five 14AA games undefeated.
The bi-district game will be
at Texarkana's Grim stadium
and the opening kickoff will
be at 8 p.m.
Coaches and school officials
met Sunday at Pewitt school
to agree on the site and de-
tails.
A flip of a coin made the
Tigers the home team and
gave their fans the west side
of the stadium for seating.
Pewitt can choose its colors
for the game and each team
chose two officials.
The Pewitt choices were
Buster Holcomb and Gene
Fleming of the Commerce cir-
cuit, and Linden-Kildare nam-
ed Leonard Dumas and Perry

School bond election called Dec. 7
An election to decide a bond
issue to pay for additional
classrooms at Pewitt and Car-
ver schools has been called
for Saturday, Dec. 7.
Members of the Paul H.
Pewitt school board held a
special meeting Monday night
at the school to call the elec-
tion.
Petitions bearing 77 signa-
tures were presented to the
board as a necessary prelim-
inary. Only 20 signers were
necessary.
The vote will be on the is-
suance of $100,000 worth of
bonds.
Housing shortage
Honey bees apparently have been hit by a
housing shortage here and one swarm of them
took to the trees for a wasp-fashion home.
R. J. Welch found the large cluster of comb
and honey hanging from a horse apple tree
limb on his place near Sulphur River. Welch
is shown peeping at the bees from barely a
safe distance away. Tip and Tom Brian, the
sons of Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Brian, were to cap-
ture the bees later and add them to the grow-
ing jiess for the Pewitt high school stu-
ho already have a number of hives.
Naples UF drive lags badly
The Naples United Fund
drive is lagging far below the
quota of $3,000, according to
Dub Adams, chairman.
Only a little more than a
thy-d of the quota has been
contributed.
Adams appealed to solici-
tors to complete their work
and to turn in the money to
their captains, or to Hershel
Welch, Dr. J. L. Collier or The
Morris County National Bank.
The thousand dollars col-
lected does not include the
contributions made by people
working at the various plants
in the area which will later
be turned over to the Naples
fund.
