Judgeship Four Williamson County men will be in the race for Judge of the District Court of Williamson County in the 1952 elections. Although none have filed for the office, it is common knowledge that E. M. Grimes of Taylor and County Judge Sam V.

Stone. D. B. Wood and McClain, all of Georgetown, are political aspirants for the office. Meantime.

Governor Allan Shivers is expected in the near future to make his appointment to fill out the unexpired term of District Judge Wilcox, who died on Thursday afternoon. December 20. More than a year ago. Judge Wilcox openly stated before the Williamson County Bar Association that he was not a candidate for re-election. Since that time, it has been common knowledge that the four aspirants named above would seek the office in 1952.

Two ol these aspirants, E. Grimes and W. McClain, have requested the governor not to appoint any of the four men who will run for the office in 1952. 'Iheir claim is that each of the four aspirants for the office would have no undue advantage in the 1952 elections, if none of the four were appointed. Mr.

Grime and Mr. McClain have recommended, by letters, that Governor Shivers appoint Nunn of Georgetown to fill out Judge unexpired term, Mr. Nunn served as district judge of Williamson County from August. 1928, to January 1. 1929, by appointment by Governor Dan Moody after the death of Judge Cooper Sansom Mr.

Grimes and Mr. McClain maintain that the appointment of Mr. Nunn would leave the way clear for a 1 ace in 1952. It is understood, however, that a substantial number of the members of the Williamson County Bar Association have already recommended that Mr Wood be appointed by Governor Shivers to fill out Judge unexpired term. M.

Grimes was county judge of this county from 1927 to 1934. inclusive, and voluntarily retired from the office. Mr. Wood was county attorney from 1929 to 1930, inclusive, and voluntarily retired from the office. Mr.

McClain was county attorney from 1937 to 1946, inclusive, and voluntarily retired from the office Judge Stone has been county judge since Mr. Grimes retired from the office, and prior to that he was county tax collector.

Christmas trees are worth their weight this year never been such a short age.

For some reason, they have the right kind of ever greens in Iceland. So. each i Christmas, trees are imported from the Norse countries, A huge boatload arrived from Denmark, but the Icelandic authorities had the whole cargo of 10,003 trees tossed into the harbor at Reyk iakvik. Seems they were afraid these trees were loaded with Danish hoof and mouth disease germs. In fact, the Icelanders were so cautious, they even made the ship's crew take down the trees they had tied to the top of the masts to give the land lubbers a glimpse of holiday I green.

Well, anyway A plane flew in about 700 rees from Finland. The Icelanders raffled them off in a lottery, and with the money they're going to plant theii own trees for future Christ mases that if the men were not killed outright by the blast, they died from lack of oxygen A mine official has predicted that the dead will number 90 A ptt boss who participated tn the rescue work Is much more pessimistic.
