The Territory Traveler
Breaks Ankle
A Makoff man broke a bone
in hls ankle Friday night when
he fell dov the hill the south

hampered last week due to rain
and more rain.
Tuesday morning of last week
R was difficult to tell ff motor-
isis were going or coming from
Caney. Vehicles slipped and
sloshed -- in free wheel fashion
-- side first, front first, and
back first when moving at all
in the 3 inch innocent looking
topping.
Construction workers patiey
pushed and pulled dozens of mo-
torists who became stalled as
they opened a more firm path
which relieved the pile-ups by
mld-moming.
J. E. Howard's corruction
Supt. Fred Chancy told the
News that he regretted the in-
convenience -- which continued
throughout the week-end and at
one point Saturday virtually
isolated Star Harbor residents
within their city, but that pro-
jects without detour routes "are
just bad -- anyway and especial-
ly bad when it mira at the
wrong time. This sure is a
bunch of rain -- and at a bed
time."
Area residents, however,
seemed good humored about
the circumstances -- one Mal-
akoff man overheard to say,
"Oh well, it don't bother me
I was only leaving because it
was too wet for golf."
Kicked off in mid-June, con-
struction persormel had esti-
mated the projects -- one reno-
vation and straightening of FM
90 from Highway 31 north to
the second bridge; two, a wew
1 mile section exiting Hwy. 90
opposite the old oil mill and
connecting with the former Star
Harbor ad (also being reno-
vated) and ending at a point
near the dam were planned for
completion before the fall rains
began.
Last week completion date,
according to Chaney, could be
"anywhere from 60 to 160 rnm'e
days."
Forms for curb and gutter--
beginning on 90 at 31 -- were
being erected at the time of
th writg.
Malakoff, earlier accepting
an obligation in excess of $13:
000.00 for a share of the curb
and gutter expense in order
not to delay the project, was
successful in passing the tab to
the county.
Working out the financial ar-
rengerneats was credited to co-
operative effort between Mal.
akoff Mayor O. A. Phillips and
Precinct One Commissioner
Jimmy Kettles.

giant barbecue pit smothers the

a fireplace wall on the inside of
the Sugar Shack. As I recall a

Construction Company --
when Pete Airheart, a foreman
on the joint highway 90 -- Star
Harbor Road projects -- made
a spot check of the st'age
taks following the
Trojan game Saturday night.
Aeart said the men, rang-
ing in age from about 18 to 35,
had already filled the plck-up
truck they were driving with
gas and were likely going to
fill a 55-gallon barrel in their
possession, when he and Mrs.
Airheart bappe by around
11:00 p.m.
He said the rnm at first pre-
tended to he associated with the
construction company. Airheert
said he held the men at the
scene of the theft while his wife
contacted law officers.
Supt. Fred Chaney was ex-
pected to file charges against
the trio Wednesday,
one of the nurses at the home.

You are always so fair in

And though you are dark aml

heart also made mine;
And he meant for both hearts

He meant for both hearts to

And he €olered them alike

If our hearts wore displayed

sea,on.
Speaking of last week's game,
Coach Tanner reports that sev-
eral of his boys were hindered
because of injuries sickness.
David Holcomb, center for the
Tigers, was out because of an
injury and will probably not be
able to play tonight. However,
he commends the performance
of Tommy Armstrong who came
in as center with no previous
experience and did a creditable
job for the team. David Tapley
was also out of the game most
of the time because of am injury,
and Curtis Brown played with
an injury.
Coach Tanner is cord'i&mt in
his team and feeis that "they
will give a good accot of
themselves tonight; and will do
batter than that ff their heaRh
permits."
