Whitewright news notes polio shots and local events
In March 1956 Whitewright grade school plans to send students to Sherman for polio vaccines via county health staff and school buses. Sam Rayburn urged Texas Democrats to back Lyndon B. Johnson for president. A tea shower honored Nancy May Webb, and Bethel Baptist Church hosted a senior class banquet. Whitewright Lodge No. 167 celebrated its 100th anniversary with a dinner at the high school. Walter Lee Bunch now heads Lone Star Gas Whitewright sub-district. Grayson College ex-students held a reunion, and onion prices reached a record high amid a good crop.
