Seven Injured
In Collision
Saturday Night
Seven persons, five of them
children, were injured Satur-
day night in a two-car colli-
sion at the intersection of
Highway 11 and Loop 301.
The accident, one of three
investigated during the week-
end by the highway patrol, was
the only one involving injuries.
Admitted to .Memorial Hos-
pital was Mrs. David Roberts
of Commerce, who suffered fa-
cia] lacerations. She was a pas-
senger in a pickup truck driv-
en by her husband.
Taken to a Klondike hospital
with fractured pelvises were
Mrs. Bonnie Robinson of Coo-
per, her daughter Sandra, 15,
and younger son Gaytan. Also
admitted there with broken
bones werl* another daughter,
Diana, and two other passen-
gers, Janet McCarty of Com-
merce and Sharlotte Pruitt of
Route 3.
Highway Patrolman Nolan
Maxie said the Roberts truck,
traveling toward Sulphur
Springs, was struck on the side
by the Robinson vehicle, travel-
ing on Loop 301.
Mrs. Robinson was ticketed
for failure to yield right-of-
way.
At 8:15 a.m. Saturday, a
[tractor truck driven by Nolen
Curtis Swatsell of Sulphur

ing about $500 damages to the

FM 71 1.5 miles east of Sul-
phur Bluff and overturned, de-
molishing the car.

Thorough
It was 80 degrees at
noon in Sulphur Springs
Monday, and weathermen
were predicting snow —-
for Northwest Texas.
A new cold front advancing
on the state Monday is not ex-
pected to have an effect upon
Northeast Texas weather at
least until Tuesday, and thus
far weathermen aren’t fore-
casting much except slightly
lower temperatures.
In the Panhandle, however,
forecasts call for below freez-
ing temperatures by early
Tuesday with rain and possible
snow.
The mercury rose rapidly
Sunday in Sulphur Springs
after clouds, that had brought
heavy rainfall to the area Sat-
urday night, moved away. Sun-
day’s high was 73 degrees.
Although the mercury slip-
ped to 52 degrees early Mon-
day, it didn’t take long to be-
gin another c limb and the
warmest morning yet of the
year was put on the books
here.
Good Rain Here
A storm that raked much of
East Texas with damaging
winds early Sunday morning
also dumped 1.15 inches of
moisture on the Sulphur
Springs area.
But while Kilgore, Mineola,
Athens and Marshall reported
considerable damage, the storm
in Sulphur Springs generally
was unspectacular.
Lightning is believed to have
hit a transformer at the cor- y
ner of South Davis and Austin
streets at about 10:05 p. m.
Saturday. Power was off in a
localized area near there for
about 15 minutes.
Otherwise there were no
damage reports. .....
The storm that hit Mineola .
and left a 10-mile path of de-
struction along U. S. Highway
80 was described as a tornado.
No funnels were reported in
connection with the distur-
bances at Kilgore, Athens or
Marshall.
Athens Damaged
Between 75 and 100 homes
were damaged at Athens and
overhead utilities were cut off •
for several hours.
A thunderstorm at Cleburne
was blamed for one traffic-
death, when a 20 - year - old
motorist died as his car over- .
turned during a heavy raii^/
storm.
In keeping with the unset-
tled spring weather, livestock
warnings have been issued for
the extreme northern portion
of the Texas Panhandle for
Tuesday.
In the long range weather
outlook, w e a t h e rra c n jiay
Northeast Texas may expect
cooler weather at mid - week,
with a second cool wave ex-
pected around the week-end.

IP — Senator William Pul-
bright, who recently kindled a

icy, now says that neither the
