Cooper Lands U S Rocket Man Honors USS Arizona Return
Astronaut Cooper circles over the USS Arizona wreck in Hawaii and honors fallen sailors by throwing a wreath. He recalls meeting his wife at the University of Honolulu in 1946 and thanks the Navy frogmen who recovered his capsule. He notes a goal of completing 22 orbits and landing near the carrier on his return voyage. Per capita consumption of vegetables in the U S is 225 to 230 pounds per year.

City officials eye pole height and city work details
City council discussed possibly raising the Ave F and Commerce stoplight if landowners grant taller poles. The light has been wrecked twice by trucks. Wayne Spradlin agreed to finish pulling the pump at the 62 well in Estelline at 15.25 per hour. Frank Jackson was killed during work last week. Mayor Michie Thaten noted Jackson and Spradlin were paid less than the Lane Texas Co. usually charged 25 per hour plus moving expenses. The council first readings approved retirement ordinance for city employees and repeal parts of Ordinance 284 conflicting with state law. Mayor Thaten, City Manager Louis Sally and BCD-CofC Manager Louis Sally were authorized to meet Bill Collins at Home and Community facilities in Fort Worth regarding sewer and water study. Dr J J Westenburg named health officer for another year. The council approved closing an unused alley in northwest Childress with easement to Lone Star Gas Co. for a gas line.
