Boll weevil presence noted in early cotton. The Bethel Lutheran Sunday School picnic is planned for June 27 with programs for children and youth, meals provided, and Wilburn Jensen in charge. Local social and travel notes follow, including visits, family gatherings, and employment updates.

Holcomb's Liquor Store Fire Damages Building
Firefighters battled two blazes Sunday afternoon in Holcomb’s Liquor Store on the Haskell Highway and a storage house in the 100 block of West Moran. Fire Chief Dick Rowland said damage estimates would not be issued since the store is outside city limits. The living quarters adjacent to the liquor store were heavily damaged and a grass fire caused by burning trash also prompted containment efforts. A water main break in the town’s southern part spilled thousands of gallons, complicating fire suppression.
