total of 83 alarms turjied in during
the year just passed. A total of only
11 of then fires involved property

runs being made to extinguish grass
and trash fires.
Insured fire losses amounted to
only 8279.35, according to the figures,
with the exception of the loss of the

of which is still pending.

According to Dutch, there is a band,
of check forgers operating through-
out this territory who victimized sev-

or 10 days ago.
Gosler further stated that be bad

Archer Receives
Little Over Average
Rain During 1946
Archer City received 7.17 inches
less rain during 1946 than in 1945,
aooerding to figures given us this
week by John E. Robinson, local ob-
server for the U. S. Weather Bureau.
Those figures are more or less mis-
leading, however, because the 1946
fall was within about 2 inches of this
section’s average annual 22 inches.
It was 24.48 inches as compared to
a more than average fall in 1945 of
31.65 inches. September was the wet-
teat month with 4.87 inches while to
the month of July went the unen-
viable record of a zero minus.
The fall by months follow:

NO BING—NO PING
Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Ray were
host and hosteae last Saturday night
at the Teen-Age Canteen when 53
teen-age boys and girls registered for
an evening of fun and entertainment
—which consisted mainly of old-time
dances.
Oallers for the square dances and
Virginia reel were Bob Lewis, Eugene
Byrnes, Pete Hudson, J. L. Prideaux.
Jr„ and Warren Robertson.
Music for the occasion was furnish-
ed by "Grandpa” Trent, Junior Light
and John Robinson.
Many times during our life-time we
have wondered just what a physician
heard when he tuned in on our anat-
omy with hia stethoscope. Judging
from their pleased expressions at
times, we felt he was certain that we
were going to live and hoped we
might pay him—while there’s life
there’s hope. Or we thought he might
possibly be hearing Bing Crosby or
Guy Lombardo or the Bells of St.
Mary’s. Last night the opportunity
presented itself for us to pick up
Doc Alexander’s scope and listen in
ourself on our organs, functioning.
Strange to say there was no Bing
and neither was there a ping. There
just didn’t sound like much was go
ing on inside us—that is with the
exception of a slight disturbance it
the right side that suggested there
might be a gremlin inside blowing
bubbles from a Missouri Meerschaum.
The left side, though, where our heart
is supposed to repose, was relatively
quiet. There wag no sound that might
even intimate said organ was pie
iron. On the other hand, it produced
a sound more like what would result
from gently swinging a chunk of beef
liver against a blacksmith anvil:
Possibly that flabbiness of our
heart combined with our known cran-
ial density might explain why we are
sitting down here with approximately
$100 of our money invested in War
Service books, every one of which we
could have sold within a week after
their arrival—people were begging
for them. But we refused to let them
go because we had orders for them
from people who hadn’t even been
required to put tip a deposit equal to
our cash outlay. Now it appears they
don’t want them at all. Tail reminds
us of something we read a few days
ago which we are going *o strive tc

puts the big breeches on ua one*,
that’s their fault. If the same one

The locale was iir the middle of A
pasture some 15 miles from town
and 3 miles from the nearest—in fact,
the enliest telephone. The time was
nearly sunset and the weather was
cold as the devjl—-about 20 above. We
returned to our car, cold after walk-
ing about half mile looking for ducks,
to find that the only sign of life we
cculd get from it was the death rat-
tle from the battery.
We talked to it—gently at first—
which talk later developed into a
screaming atomic fit.
Somebody may some day develop
a machine that will reactivate all
the sounds that have heretofore gone
into the ozone—but somebody will be
