Baxter Tennessee resident Charlie Hughes has taken a two week vacation from his daily 5.4 am bugle reveille after 28 years. He began in 1924, believing bugle blowing promoted health and exercise, and has stood atop a pole in his backyard to sound the wakeup call each morning.
A Senate subcommittee urged rapid buildup of U S air power led by Lyndon Johnson and backed by Joint Chiefs of Staff testimony to reach 143 wings, with 126 combat and 17 support wings by 1934 end or 1934 mid, warning that delay risks defense and safety against a stronger Russian air threat. The report criticizes President Truman’s stretch-out and notes 1954 goals would be delayed to 1956, jeopardizing NATO and U S security.
Ousdahl reports 57 feet of water in the well proving water on land and plans a 10 inch well and grave packing to supply all buildings.

County Commissioner Elmer Quideh leads swift development of 38 acre property between Nineteenth Street and Highway 10 cleared of hedges and partial structures. A five acre parking lot with crushed rock is planned, a lighted ball diamond and raised bleacher area will be built east of the drive, and a home economics building plus another display building rise on the visitor’s right as the August 4-H fair nears.
On the fair grounds a display building will feature windows and insulated ceilings with water and gas outlets for cooking demos. An adjacent native sandstone house, once home to Judge Means, will be repurposed as restrooms with a lounge on the first floor and lavatories in the basement. Five livestock buildings rise on the eastern end while a show ring sits northwest. Workers uncovered an old 165 foot well with 56 feet of water but the casing is bad and unusable.
