Thio Visits in Arkansas from Cave Creek roots region
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Vaughan and Mrs. W F Vaughan returned Friday from a week in Cave City and Batesville Ark. Mrs Vaughan, who left Cave Creek in 1901, visited her former home after 62 years and renewed childhood scenes while bringing plants from her old yard. The group traveled in a covered wagon to Rockwall County, linking to the Brewer family and Collingsworth County in 1904. They stayed near Crystal River Cave’s park entrance, an Osage burial ground, and visited a local museum with relics from the cavern.

Election Code Overhaul Due
AUSTIN analysts report a comprehensive overhaul of the election code is overdue. The Senate passed a bill fixing many errors from a hurried 1951 revision, while the House stripped the agent form for paying poll taxes and required voters to certify qualifications at court or via a deputy tax collector. The drive to abolish the poll tax stalls. a constitutional amendment faces House subcommittee review after Senate approval. National ratification of a federal amendment to end the poll tax grows, with 80 states needed for effect. Senator Kazen notes 1964 elections could feature state officers elected by poll tax payers while federal offices remain open to all.
