Alpine’s Obscene Dump Grounds Pushes City For Action
In a critical open critique, residents urge the Alpine City Council and officials to address odious dump grounds near eastern approaches. The issue features burning waste, odor, litter near rail lines and highways, and potential federal intervention if not resolved promptly. The piece labels the site repulsive and harmful to Alpine’s image as the jewel of the Texas Rockies.

Avalanche blaze destroys saddles and feed at Ranger home
In West Alpine Texas, a small building at Leo Bishop’s home burned late Tuesday night destroying three saddles and feed. Snow blanketed the Davis Mountains Big Bend area from Friday morning for about six hours adding moisture to range lands. Point rationing planned for February by the OPA will freeze food sales for a week or two before issuing Book No. 2 under the point system. Local civic and defense news follow with new Alpine Study Club officers and Texas Defense Guard promotions and appointments.

Amblin Around Food Tour and Hotel Dining Debrief
A playful travelogue notes diverse dishes from Hammacher Schlemmer in New York including barbecued nutria and kangaroo tails, plus Old El Paso enchiladas. It recounts a postgame test in El Paso, a stay at Downtown Motor Inn, Gillespie's Steak House wait, and a nearly empty dining room praising quiet service and meals. It also mentions Alpine Big Bend publicity on a rural telephone system led by Charles DeBarbrie of Alpine and ties to Painesville.

Letters to the Editor on Alpine water recharge methods
The Alpine area could gain water via conservation and recharge. A 1965 test recharged 14 million gallons from 40 acres of watershed, with 28 million gallons of precipitation. The Ranger Canyon Apron with sandy gravel depths up to 200 feet hosts the test. Warns that polluted waters should not be used for recharge.
