You Can't Control the World,
But You Can Control
Your Decisions.
Sometimes the market reacts poorly to world events,
but just because the market reacts doesn’t mean you
should. Still, if current events are making you feel
uncertain about your finances, you should schedule a
complimentary portfolio review. That way, you can
make sure you’re in control of where you want to go
and how you get there.

MAKING SENSE OF INVESTING
JUNE 3,1934-
~ Morris Sanders married
popular McGregor teacher, Vel-
ma Lee.
~ Farmer’s Mill of Mc-
Gregor closed a contract to grind
federal surplus wheat into flour.
This spoke highly of the quality
flour manufactured by our local
mill.
~ Twenty members of the
younger set were guests of Miss
Virginia Herring at her birth-
day party given by her mother
Mrs. Rex Herring. Attendees
were Dennis Witte, Lula Belle
McEntire, Paul Krause, Virginia
Ford, John R. Grantham, Lloyd
Harper, Dawn Isbill, Margaret
Dixon, Walstein Smith, Camille
Johnson, Carrol Martin, Euge-
nia Lee, Edward Lynn, Marion
Isbill, Walter Scott Amsler, Jerry
Lou Brown, Lanham Connally
and Adolph Pachyla.
JUNE 2,1944-
- War headline: “Pace of
Aggressors War Changes from
Triumphant Sweet to Desperate
Fight Now For Life.”
~ One hundred and eighty
five warships were added from
January 1 to May 1, giving the
U.S. Navy 1,200.
~ McGregor’s quota for the
Fifth War Loan was announced
and the quota was $283,000.00.
The drive would get underway
June 12.
- The Ritz Theater an-
nounced it would have four mati-
nees a week during the summer
month for Sundays, Wednesdays,
Fridays and Saturdays.
~ A mad dog was killed in
McGregor on Sunday. Before
he was killed he was seen going
here and there biting approxi-
mately 20 dogs. Mayor N.R.
Legg declared a state of emer-
gency and issued that all dogs
that might have come in contact
with the sick dog be pinned up
for 30 days or destroyed. It was
issused that all dogs in the city,
even those vaccinated, had to be
pinned up or on a leash for 30
days. All roaming dogs would be
killed.
JUNE 4,1954-
~ Belton Dam was dedicated
on May 28th.
~ The engagement of Coleen
Clements to Kenneth L. Warren
was announced.
~ A condemnation suit
brought Bluebonnet Ordnance
Plant area status quo to a head,
causing the City of McGregor
to lose two industries. The con-
demnation of this property by the
government, the former Blue-
bonnet Ordnance Plant chemical
line, booster line and load lines
3 and 4, expedited plans for the
JATP plant to the extent that a
$2,500,000 construction contract
was let and Phillips announced
to have two more lines in opera-
tion by the next year. The plant
presently employed 600. The
businesses affected by the con-
demnation were Geigy Company
and Union Asbestos and Rubber
Company.
~ Foster Wheeler was also
affected, but would remain in
McGregor. McGregor Civic En-
terprises attempted to relocate
Geigy and Union Asbestos. Mc-
Gregor Civic Enterprises was a
non-profit group set up a couple
years earlier to provide industrial
sites for evicted industries.
~ Foster Wheeler started
construction on the first of five
buildings to be erected on a 10-
acre tract on the eastern outskirts
of McGregor on Highway 84.
Local manager was Leland Ar-
dell.
~ It was reported that the
condemnation proceedings to
secure needed Bluebonnet Ord-
nance Property for Air Force
Plant # 66 did not include any of
the property held by Bluebonnet
Farms because of an agreement
between the Air Force and Texas
A&M College. These 6,600 acres
would be retained on the south
side of the Bluebonnet area.
~ Alex Baker retired as man-
ager of Lee’s in Oglesby after 37
years.
~ Mrs. Albert Hering was
installed as president of the Mc-
Gregor Garden Club.
JUNE 5, 1964-
~ Jaycees and other Mc-
Gregor volunteers had put in 200
man-hours at Amsler Park in an
attempt to develop it for use as
soon as possible. Roy Ward was
Jaycee park chairman. Others
pictured were Richard Skipper,
landscaping chairman; Nolan
Weber of Foster Wheeler, Bud
Clements and Lee Ardell, man-
ager of Foster Wheeler.
~ Veteran observers were
comparing the present grain crop
with the all-time record crops of
1919 and 1926. McGregor Mill-
ing and Grain president Halbert
Crouch said that up until now
1919 and 1926 were the best
oat and wheat years McGregor
had ever had, but that this year’s
crops were comparing favor-
ably with those two record years.
Agronomist M.J. Norris said that
this year’s yields would far sur-
pass anyting on record since the
experiement station had been in
operation. He was expecting 60
bushels or better per acre of oats
and one 60-acre field at Bluebon-
net averaged 80 bushels per acre.

honored MHS Valedictorian
Ronnie Andrews with a $100
check.

ny Hunt.

Gregor Pageant sponsored by the
McGregor Jaycees was cancelled
due to lack of entries. The Miss
and Junior Miss categories had
no entries, while the petite and
tots had only eight combined.
- Notice that 1,609.61 acres
of land at the Naval Weapons In-
dustrial Reserve Plant were sur-
plus to the needs of the govern-
ment and drew applications for
the property from TSTI and from
Texas A&M Experment Station,
but it also drew a resolution from
the McGregor City Council urg-
ing the Federal Government to
place as many tracts as possible
up for public auction because of
the desirability of the property as
prime industrial and residential
building sites.
