HOWE, GRAYSON COUNTY, TEXAS, NOVEMBER 3 ,1966
NUMBER EIGHTEEN
HOWE'S
THAT
ROAD BOND' GENERAL ELECTION TUESDAY
You think grocery prices are
high ?
A recent article released by
the associated press reveals an
$8 billion a year expenditure
for paperwork costs to operate
our government.
A few of the statistics of the
report, from the House Post
Office and Civil Service sub-
committee, show that:
The government spends $1.5
billion annually writing about
a billion letters.
It takes 15 billion copies of
360,000 government forms to op-
erate federal agencies.
Around 225,000 employes spend
most of their working day plac-
ing documents into 25 million
cubic feet of files. There are
two million file cabinets in the
executive offices alone.
One “time saving” computer
can release a stack of records
20 feet high each working day.
There are 2,600 such computers
working weekly shifts, holidays
offs, capable of a 1.3 mile stack
in a single year.
Sub-committee report reveal-
ing the above statistics requir-
ed 70 pages, and probably sev-
eral copies were “filed.”
Howe can now boast a couple
of Television personalities in
young Taylor Strawn of the
local Future Farmers of Amer-
ica chapter ‘and the chapter
advisor, Billy Harrell.
The couple appeared last Fri-
day morning on the Murray
Cox RFD show at 6:30 a.m.
Taylor is to be commended
for his varied accomplishments
in FFA. He was recently elect-
ed district president, and later
received the Area Star Chapter
Farmer award for his outstand-
ing accomplishments. He also
received the award on the state
level in Austin during the pas',
summer. He is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. E. B. Strawn, route
1, Howe.

MYF ENTERTAINED AT
HALLOWEEN PARTY
Mrs. Jack Orr and Miss Ma-
ry Joyce Gray entertained mem-
bers of the Methodist M.Y.F.
Junior High with a Halloween
party Saturday night in the
home of Mrs. Orr.
The hostesses expressed their
appreciation for those who as-
sisted with the party.
Tuesday, November 8 will be
election day in Howe, as well as
throughout the state.
Voters in Howe and the rest
of Grayson County will have an
opportuity to mark two separ-
ate ballots—one in the general
election which includes sixteen
constitutional amendments and
another, a county road bond
election to finance rights-of-way
purchases for road construction
and improvements.
A. L. Reeves, local election
judge, said this week that all
voting will be at Howe State
Community Room from 8 a.m.
until 7 p.m. County election
judges are scheduled to attend
a meeting in Sherman tonight
(Thursday) in relation to the
Tuesday balloting.
If the county bond issue pass-
es, the rights-of-way to develop
a ten-year master highway plan
will begin, spokesmen for the
issue said. The issue will total
$1,750,000 with length of pay-
ment set at 20 years. After the
county has secured right-of-way
for the improvements, more
than $20,00,000 expenditures will
be available for construction,
from state and federal sources.
(See resolution, page 2)
Only increase in county tax-
es to finance the county’s share
of the $25,000,000 project would
be nine cents above 1966 taxes,
representatives were informed
at a luncheon meeting Tuesday.
Grayson County taxes were re-
duced five cents per hundred
dollar valuation in 1966, and
this figure plus an additional
four cents would be sufficient
to retire the bonds.
County voters approved the
previous highway and road bond
issue in 1957 by a 3-1 margin.
Right’s of way already pur-
chased for road improvements
include Highway 99 from Tex-
oma south to the county line,
Highway 69 from just south of
Denison south to the county
line, and Highway 1281 from
near Whitewright to the inter-
section with 1417 southeast of
Sherman, and new Highway 82
route from Whitesboro to Sher-
man.
Roads requested for either1
re-routing or rebuilding include
902 west from Highway 75 north
of Howe, south toward Howe,
then west to intersect with the
Farmington road; 121 from the
Highway 69 interection west to
..i ga; 1281 from Louella south
:o intersection with the Howe-
Tom Bean road; paving from
j just east of Dorchester, south
| to intersection with 121; 697
from Whitewright northwest to
Sherman, and others in the
northern part of the county .

Bulldogs Tie Prosper In First District
Game; Play Anna Coyotes Friday
Halloween arrived early ^ for
Howe’s Bulldogs, as they battled
to a scoreless deadlock last
Friday night against Prosper’s
Eagles.
The tie was the first district
game for the locals, who went
into the contest with a 5-1 rec-
ord.
Spooks arrived on the scene
early, as the Bulldogs drove to
the Prosper seven yard line on
their first possession, and a
fourth down pass, Jimmy Don
Billy to Mickie Billy, found its
target but slipped through for
an incompletion.
Early in he second period,
Howe again drove inside the
Prosper 20 for a first down, but
again failed to score on two
incomplete passes into the end
zone.
The Bulldogs gained an even
100 yards on the ground during
the first half, while holding the
host team to a net of 26.
A different group of goblins
prevented the Bulldogs from
scoring in second half play.
Forty-five yards in penalties
kept the team’s gainers at a
minimum. Neither team receiv-
ed a penalty during the first
half.
Other setbacks included two
pass interceptions and a lost
fumble.
On one occasion, Howe took
possession on their 44, just 56
yards from pay dirt, and gain-
ed 89 yards before losing the
ball on a fourth down incom
plete pass. Penalties subtracted
from the gainers prevented the
drive adding up to a score, how-
ever.
On a final scoring drive, the
Bulldogs drove from their own
six yard line to the Prosper 17
before the effort bogged down.
This week the team takes on
the Anna Coyotes for the final
road game. Last two games
will be played in Howe.
