TV-Maytag Status
Still Unchanged
Roger Hart, News Linotype op-
erator, returned to the job on an
8-hour daily schedule Monday af-
ter being off for three months due
to a heart attack. He has, however,
been at the keyboard from two to
four hours per* day during the
past month. His being incapacitat-
ed brought on an enforced lay-off
for yours truly so far as most of
the editing chores were concerned
and we have therefore, sort of got
out of touch with our vast hordes
of avid readers.
During th£ time when we could
n’t keepv’em advised we received
queries from readers in New York
and California as to whether or
not Mrs. M. was still suffering the
ignominy of living through tor-
tuous days of viewing a television
screen—and without a washing
machine. It pains us deeply to re-
port that the washing machine-
television status remains unchang-
ed. And it also causes us much dis-
tress to admit that such is the
case. Since channel 3 became op-
erative in Wichita Falls — which
furnishes us with practically all
contact with the television world
—we have about come to the con-
clusion that we have done Mrs. M.
a grave injustice. The type of pro-
grams that are available here led
to the thought that probably, after
all, a washing machine might be
more entertaining that the Wichita
Falls type of television programs
so far available. At least the May-
tag wouldn’t appear on a screen
with a grin that is assininely re
pulsive and proceed to vilify the
sanctity of our chamber with a
selection of gags and acts that
strike us as even more assinine-
and repulsive.

Week-end Rains
Total 1.19 Inches
City Lake Gains
Rainfall in Archer City from
Friday of last week through Tues-
day of this, with all promising
clouds completely dissipated, to-
tal 1.19 inches. The heaviest fall
in one day was that of Friday

city pump located on South Fork
operated for more than 100 hours
during the monsoon season and
the water level showed a rise of
18 inches—which is nice, real nice

proximately 9 feet below spillway

ARCHER PEOPLE ASKED
TO HAVE BLOOD TYPED
FOR COUNTY BLOOD BANK
On Tuesday. June 9th. at 7:30
p. m. the people of Archer County
are requested to be present and
those whose blood has not been
typed will be typed and classified
free of charge, and even though
this is sDonsored by the Odd Fel-
lows and Rebekahs, it is for the
benefit of the entire county. It is
open to all. young and old alike,
and is for the use and benefit of
all who might be in need of blood
or those who can and will give
blood should the emergency arise
Those who have already had
their blood typed, are urgently
requested to be present and list
their type and make the informa-
tion available to doctors and citi-
zens alike, as a list will be made
and will be available to doctors
and hospitals for use to guide them
quickly in contacting donors and
thus will be in a position to quick-
ly and safely save lives in an emer-
gency.
It is urgent that all be present
and register their type not only
for the purpose of donating, as
well as receiving very quick and
fast service should you be so un-
fortunate as to be in need of blood
and either can and does happen.
This type of blood bank has
been tried and found to be of the
best service when the entire citi-
zenship actually takes part and
helps to make it work.
A small city the size of Archer
City could not afford to support
a bank due to the cost and the
equipment required and the tech-
nical training and also due to the
fact that live blood can be main-
tained for a very short period of
time and must then be converted
to plasma.
If aU will assist and take part,
then should disaster hit, blood will
be quickly available to those who
need it, and the doctors and the
public will be benefited and lives
laved that may otherwise be lost
while in search for the right type
of blood.
So be sure and place a red circle
around June 9th and be at the
Archer Hospital at 7:30 p. m. or
as soon alter as possible and there
will be someone on duty to list
those who have already had their
blood typed and a staff to take
care of those who are as yet un-
typed.
And remember, the life that is
saved could very likely be your
| own.
The Wichita Falls Humane So-
ciety has some excellent dogs for
adoption at this time. A very fine
young male collie can be seen at
the Burrus Hospital, a beautiful
young male Dalmatian can be seen
at 3507 Garfield and a young pure
blood black male cocker is at the
Parker Vet Hospital. The Humane
Society also has 15 young puppies
for “ give away.” They are being
boarded at Barrington's Hospital
on Holliday.
Anyone coming to Wichita Falls
looking for a pet is invited to
