Travel firm
buys 2
new buses
The owners of All World Travel
Inc. in Sulphur Springs have some-
thing new to brag about.
Two new luxury motor coaches
for a new division of the travel
company.
Charles Moore and Eddie Ardis
have been thinking about offering a
motor coach tour for more than five
years after one of their drivers,
Gene “Stoney” Stone, made the
suggestion and then followed up
with reminders.
“We would think about it and
then we would say, ’No,’ and then
he would prod us again," Moore
said.
All of that led to the purchase of
the two vehicles — complete with
closed, overhead luggage com-
partments, individual overhead
heating, air conditioning and light-
ing controls. A stero system pro-
vides music.
Two sections of the 47-passenger
buses can be adapted to two facing
seals with a table in the middle “for
playing bridge or 42,” Moore said.
Caipet covers the ceiling and the
area beneath the windows.
The new coaches will operate
through All World Tours, a sub-
sidiary of the parent company that
owns travel agencies in
Richardson, Dallas, Mount Pleasant
and Texarkana.
In Sulphur Springs, Moore and
Ardis specialize in tour groups for
10 or more people.
The final decision to purchase
the buses came when Moore and
Ardis took a look at the tour market
in this area. “It’s because of our
population growing older,” Moore
said

Area competitors capture honors
By CHRIS NOE
Despite record contributions
from many local individuals,
businesses and organizations, the
1989-90 Hopkins County United
Way fundraising drive goal of
$116,500 has not been meL
“We’ve had some real positives
in employee contributions this
year,” said Cynthia Goff, local
United Way chairman.
Contributions from one local
company, Grocery Supply, have
exceeded $10,000, nearly double
their goal.
The fundraising deadline has
been extended one more time. The
final reporting session will begin at
11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 15, in the
Chamber of Commerce building.
“We’re down to the final straw,”
Goff said.
Contributions to date total
$78,860.13. That is 68 percent of
the goal, with one week left in the
campaign.
Appoximatcly 31 businesses still
have not turned in their contribu-
tions. Local United Way officials
have verbal commitments from a
number of companies. “We have a
real opportunity to make it (the
goal) just on verbal commitments,”
Goff said.
Individuals who wish to contrib-
ute to the United Way may contact
Charlotte Henderson, campaign ex-
ecutive secretary, at United Nation-
al Real Estate, 858 Gilmer St., or
by calling 885-3146.
Donations contributed to United
Way will be used to fund 16 or-
ganizations providing help to
people in all stages of life.
Those organizations are the
American Red Cross, Community
Chest, rescue unit, 4-H clubs, Care
Corps, Salvation Army, Boy
Scouts, Girl Scouts, New Begin-
nings and the Visions program.
Other organizations funded by
the United Way are the Hopkins
County Association for Retarded
Citizens, United Way of Texas and
America, Meal A Day Center, Min-
isterial Alliance Food Pantry, Fam-
ily Haven and Hopkins County
Child Protective Services.
