SUNNYE BROWN
ANNOUNCE
ENGAGEMENT
Mr and Mrs Bernard Brown of
Dimmitt, Texas are announcing
the engagement and approaching
marriage of their daughter. Sunnye
Brow n- to Fred L Enright, son of
Mr. and Mrs. John F. Enright of
1512 Morningside, Graham. Texas.
The wedding is to take p+ace at
the First Baptist Church in Dim-
mitt. Texas, on August 21.
Miss Brown completed high
school in Dimmitt and attended
Lippert's Business College in Plain-
view. Texas She is now empldyed
at the El Paso Natural Gas Co. in
El Paso. Texas
Fred Enright completed high
school id Graham, and is a student
at Texas Western College in El
Paso. He is at present employed
with Dow Chemical Co. in Gra-
ham
After the wedding the couple
will go to Colorado Springs for
their honeymoon and then return
Sunday is July 4. and it will be
a long week end holiday as busi-
lirms in the city will be
closed Monday, in observance of
the FOURTH Recently there has
been lots said about that 49th star
which Hawaii is going to brine
with it into the union that will
glow with a multi-million dollar
light for United State flag makers,
The homes, schools, churches and
other institutions of America own
something like 30 milljon good
sized flags, plus untold millions of
the tiny ones which are used for
party favors and such. All of these
have 48 stars, and all of them Will
become obsolete on the July 4, fol-
lowing formal admission of Ha-
waii, when the 49 star flag becomes
official. The flag-makers can hard-
ly wait and they think the great
day will be July 4, X9S5.
Under the bill which seems, cer-
tain of passage by . Congress this
year, Hawaii cannot achieve offi-
cial statehood until after the elec-
tion of Nov. 2, 1954.
Since 1818, new stars have been
added on the Independence Day
following admission of a new state.
Nearly everybody thinks the
new flag will have seven rows of
seven stars each, placed in such a
way that the blue field will be
the same size as it is now. This can
be achieved by setting the stars
farther apart horizontally and
squeezing them a little vertically.
The present flag has six rows of
eight stars each.
But the tough question is what
will happen when Alaska gets into
the Union and we have 50 states.
You can't divide 50 very evenly,

ent star field being five rows of

the stripes.
There will probably be a new
layout for the stars, with the rows
uneven in number as they have
been several times in U. S. history.
The trade is betting now there
wiii-be no monkey business with
the 12L
changed since 1818. Some makers
therefore are going ahead with
production of the stripe section of
their flags, intending to sew in
the star fields when the issue is
settled.

As the mercury starts to rise,
thoughts turn to cool Possum
Kingdom Lake, beaches, picnics,
and the great out-doors. With July

many will be leaving for cool
Colorado, the mountains in New

day
Those who will remain at home
will be enjoying Possum Kingdom
Lake as many have lodges on the
beautiful lake, where the water
is as clear and blue as Lake Louise
in Canada We were down on the
lake recently with friends for a
picnic supper and as we sat there
listening to thj water lapping soft-
ly on the shore line, and boats
sailing up, down and around the
lake, the splashing of waves, and
high up in an old tree was
mocking bird singing a lullaby and
a road runner “strutting" around
the shoreline—how refreshing aft
er a day in the office.
And the aroma of baked spare-
ribs. salads and this and that made
one feel they would like to re-
main on the lake the rest of the
summer.
So if you are not contemplating
a vacation to the mountains, spend
your leisure time on Possum King-
dom Lake
...
THIS AND THAI . . .
Today we received a subscrip-
tion renewal from Judge S. A.
Penix and he says, “thanks for
your kindness and please forgive,
if I am over due. Speaking of
kindness,” Judge says, “I always
like the little verses which ran
about like this:
‘1 do not ask to be endowed
With brilliancy of mind;
I only long to learn right well
The gentle art of being kind
I want to know the surest way
Of circulating happiness;
To be more prodigal of praise, ,
To criticize my fellows less.
To seek to gain that grace of
thought
Which covers all with chairty;
To think of others as I would
That they in turn should think of
me
To have a ready, happy smile,
A pleasant, gracious voice to all;
Of all things I might desire.
These simple ones shall be my
choice,
For gifts of body or of mind;
Just let me .learn the one thing
well.
The gentle Art of bing KIND ”
Thanks Judge for the above
article, Kindness is a gift from
heaven and people who are for-
tunate to be blessed with kindness
toward others are the richest peo-
ple in the world.
Speaking of kindness, reminds
us that while we were in Hydro,
Oklahoma last Sunday, we walked
into a cafe for dinner, and in a
far corner was seated an attractive
woman, dressed In blue, who
smiled when we caught
After finishing dinner, we wal
over and exchanged
for we really like to know
who smile and have
She was the editor and publisher
of the Hydro Review, an 8 page
weekly newspaper full of inter-
esting news about people and a
fine display of advertising.
The paper was established in
1901, and a young minister and
his wife assist her in getting out
the paper each Thursday after-
noon. Less we forget, the Hydro
editor is Mrs. J. E. Herndon, and
we hope to meet the friendly edi-
itor and publisher again some
of these days; as we realy love
"friendly people ’
