Phonics, Texas words, and local notes from Wellington
A quirky column lists Texas terms and slang with playful definitions and cites a late 1940s to 1960s mood. It mixes local color about electricity lore, weather, and daily life with brief items on health drives, rains, civic projects, a Red Cross course, and community events in Collingsworth and Wellington.
