T. Dunbar and his wife, Mrs. Irene Dunbar, who two years be fore opened the Western Auto As sociate Store. Mr. Dunbar died in 1953 and both business concerns have been continued by Mrs. Dun bar, who has acted as manager of Western Gas Service and some months ago employed Jimmy S. Dye as manager of the Western Auto Associate Store. The Western Gas Service also operates a bulk gas plant on East Peterson Street with a storage ca pacity of 36,000 gallons. The plant’s capacity originally was 18,- 000 gallons, but this summer the capacity was doubled. A 750-gal lon truck was recently added in or der to provide service for the trail ers in this vicinity. Another truck has a capacity of 1,000 gallons. The concern was incorporated in 1953. Aside from handling Green’s fuel gas, the concern has taken on the Hot Point line of electric appli ances. Associated with Mrs. Dunbar in operating the Western Gas Service are: Caswell Edmondson, office manager; Mrs. Edna Harrell, book keeper, and Fred Britton, Pruden Forehand and Billy Ed Lassiter, service managers. For the Western Auto Associa te store Jimmy Dye is manager; Mrs. Anita Baker, bookkeeper, and Jesse Williams, clerk.

We would sack a number of sacks of ears and carry in the house be fore dark. Alter supper we would all gather in the room before a roaring fire and shell corn until bedtime. After the com was shell ed we children wodld often build I cob pens. To those who have tried I building cob pens, they know that cobs are of various sizes, tapers and lengths. Not only must the cobs be placed with care but they must be selected with care. The limit to the heights of the pens was usually not much over two feet. At about that height they would tumble. Then we had to start again from the bottom to re build. Often when one of our pens fell, that one would take a cob and knock down all the other pens. ! Then we would be hurried off to i bed.

To ’■'> sure there have been mistakes : I blunders and maybe unjudieious spending. Things that were once taught by the parents in the home j must now of necessity he taught in the schools. Outside interference is now dislo cating the very foundation of this: great school system. It appears that this expansive school struc ture may come tumbling down like one of the cob pens. Not only would this destroy our school system but our culture and e.cpnomy is built upon our school I system. Should the worst come i upon us God grant that even with! aching and troubled hearts we may begin building with greater wisdom on a more permanent foundation.
