Welcome Mat Wide Open for Local Notables and Growth
Irene Linn Gibson welcomes four men and four women to the city scene as Leona Baker becomes owner of the San Saba Woursing Home. The Baker family plans to split time between Valeria and Coleman County with son Bill in Talpa. Sisters Ann Elsasser and Elma Costly join the hospital staff, hailing from Bangs via Fort Hood, while other locals move in from Wichita Falls and Seymour. The community embraces these professionals, praising their contributions as the Eighth Annual Pecan Show earns high praise for effort, with thanks to many unnamed supporters. A new San Saba Junior High campus is under construction and will transform the ugly duckling into a swan. The Shahan children excel as honor roll students and a gold star is earned by their parents. A closing thought reminds readers that tomorrow holds two handles of faith or anxiety.
