Five persons, Including two
small boys, narrowly escaped
drowning whan their small fish-
ing boat submarined and cap-
slaed In the swift current of the
Red River North of Clarksville.
All five were reported uu-
ronerlone vtoan erescuer pulled
them out of toe river Monday
afternoon.
In the boat were Roy Craw-
ford of Clarksville; his wife,
Edith; • two sons, 6-year-old
Randy and 5 1/1 - year - old
Danny; and Mrs. Crawford’s
sister, Nellie Chase.
Authorities said the family
set out In a small boat from a
tiny landing dock at the Red
River bridge North of Clarks-
ville. The over-loaded boat
suddenly capslaed Into the
swiftly-flowing* river.
Crawford, who could swim,
held onto the 0-year-old boy.
Hie wile, who could not swim,
held the S-year-old under one
one arm and her sister under
the other arm.
They were carried 200 yards
down the river.
Hub Smith of the Nagley com-
munity near Clarksville
happened to witness the boats
capsizing. He rowed out in a
boat and managed to pull the
five out of the water and get
them to shore. He said all
five were unconscious.
He--aided by Wayne Perkins
of the Nagley community and
Ernest Wltmer of Clarks villa--
applied artificial respiration
end restored breathing to all
five.
“Hay Day/' a project spon
sored by the Clarksvlll® Cham -
bar of Commerce to encourage
and promote the production of
better hay In Red River County,
will be held here on June 27,
according to plane announced
Monday by County Agent Bob
Moody, who Is being assisted
by Roy King, vocational agri-
culture .teacher of the Clarks-
ville lugh School, In making
arrangements for the show.
Hey4>roducere throughout the
cow# are being Invited to sub-
mit specimens In the form of
bales to be analyzed for pro-
tein content and other charac-
teristics denoting high quality.
Hay to be tested must be
received by Moody or King not
later than Juno 13, since It
must be forwarded to one of the
State laboratories for analysis.
Anything received after the
deadline can not be tested In
time for the show.
Red River County Is one of the
leading hay producing counties
in Texas, but much of tho pro-
duction here Is not top quality.
Deficiencies known to exist can
largely be remedied, not only
to Increase per acre yield but
Improve the protein content and
otherwise add to the value of the
product.
Growing more' and better hay
in one of the state’s largest
livestock producing counties
can mean big gains In revenues
for farmers. Hay Day Is there-
fore a project which officials
of the Chamber of Commerce
feel can be of greet value to
local stockmen If they will par-
ticipate in the show to the
extent which the sponsoring
agency anticipates.
New hey Is being cut through-
out the county and specimens
for the show are solicited by
the agrlcultura committee of the
Chamber of Commerce.
