August Mill offers local notes on readers and events
The Wimberley Mill reports a busy month with notes on Vox Pop host Parks Johnson and his radio career, Bob Fowler buying two Degas paintings for ten dollars each, and a rare swap of a violin. It mentions fishing holes, a Little Rabbit Australia rodeo contestant, a kingfisher nest, an early norther in August, and school opening notes from Principal Bowen.

Progress on Wimberley water system advances
Work on the Wimberley Water Supply Corporation continues with about 10 miles of pipe laid, more than half the system. An 83000 gallon storage tank sits behind St Marys Church and another similar tank is planned atop Eagle Rock Ranch. A new Eagle Rock well promises ample water to supplement the existing supply.
