Unseasonable weather in McCulloch CountyeDiteD by

kathy Smith

Dec. 2-8, 1970The Heart of Texas area has

been experiencing unseason-able hot weather for the month of December and the latter part of November, but no records have been set according to U.S. Weather Observer, T.A. Parker, Jr.

Dec. 1, one of the warmest days recently, saw the mercury climb to 80 degrees, but it was no match for the record high of 91 degrees set in 1954. The low recorded for the day was 52 degrees.

A slight cool front from the Pacific did little to cool the days off but lowered the nighttime temperatures to the middle and lower 40s. Sunday was a beauti-ful day, but after a comfortable cool night, Monday dawned cloudy and foggy. The wind, while not cold, had a bite to it that encouraged Bradyites to seek a little warmer clothing.

Little relief from the warm weather nor the dryness is in sight. Several cold waves have started toward the Lone Star State, but due to a large high pressure system the cool fronts have been moved back north.

Farmers and ranchers are continuing to worry about the excessive dryness in the area. McCulloch County has been short on moisture for the last six months, with the exception of September when 4.30 inches was measured for the month.

Rainfall totals for the past two months have been practi-cally nil with .37 inch in October and .08 in November.

The first 11 months of the year have totaled 17.55 inches of rain, as recorded by the weather observer. According to past records, only three times in the past nine years has the rain total been less. In 1962 the year's total was 13.63, in 1963, 1740 and in 1966 it was 16.69.

* * *Santa Claus talks to 700 youngsters

Santa Claus came to Brady last Saturday and greeted over 700 youngsters from Brady and McCulloch County.

The weather was perfect and the line waiting to talk to St. Nick wound around the corner of the square hardly ever chang-

Chosen from the sophomore class were Nona Neal and Stan McBroom, most popular; Jo Ann Grant and Jeff Robi-nett, most representative; Lisa Dodds, most beautiful and Gene Edmiston, most handsome.

Freshmen representatives are Penny Capps and Mike Warren, most popular; Dar-lene McNatt and Joe Partin, most representative; Sherry Snowden, most beautiful and Ken Whiteley, most handsome.

* * *T.A. Lankford sworn in as postmaster

Talmadge A. Lankford was sworn in as postmaster of the Brady Post Office in oath-taking ceremonies at noon Saturday. John Hamilton, postal service officer from Austin, adminis-tered the oath of office.

The appointment was made along with four others on a non political merit basis. They were selected by Postmaster General Winton M. Blount under the Nixon administration's new procedure of appointing post-masters on a merit basis, without political recommendations. They do not require confirma-tion by the senate.

Lankford, 55, has served as assistant postmaster in charge of the Brady Post Office since Jan. 15, 1969. He entered the Postal Service on a temporary basis Dec. 1, 1941 and was pro-moted to assistant postmaster, Jan. 15, 1966.

Before the creation of heaven and earth, God had a purpose in mind. He created man to be a special being to live eternally within heaven, thus he made man in his own image. He also designed the earth to be a temporary habitation and gave man three special rules to live by in a paradise garden. 1. Multiply and replenish the earth. 2. Dress and keep the garden. 3. Do not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Had man followed these rules, he would not have known sin, and could have remained in the garden wherein the tree of life was also. But man ate of the forbidden tree, forcing God to remove him from the garden. But in as much as man was made a mortal being, he must now face physical death. But God also placed in man an immortal soul that would live on even after physical death occurred. Since man now had the knowledge of good and evil, God gave him a special set of moral rules to live by. But all man because he is a fleshly being, he broke these moral rules. So God in his infinite mercy gave a remedy for sin that might still live eternally with him. This remedy was the great gift of his only begotten Son whom he sent to earth to live in the flesh without sin that he might offer himself as a perfect sacrifice for man’s sin. We will deal with this in our next article. Gene Lyles

and two on the 1100 block of High Street. The contractor is Miller Construction Company.

The units will all be two bedroom affairs with 840 square feet in each. They will have cen-tral air conditioning and heating and will be constructed entirely of brick. Each unit will have a built-in stove and refrigerator. Otherwise they will rent as unfurnished apartments.

A spokesman for the com-pany said the duplexes should be

completed sometime in Febru-ary, depending on the weather. The project is being built for approximately $85,000. The rent range has not been decided.

Each unit will have a carport which will face on a street or alleyway between the two sides of the street. The residents will be able to back from the carport and drive to the street entrance instead of backing directly into the street.
