Here's The Local News That Made The Headlines In 1956 Good And Bod Of The Week's News 8th THE PAMJPA DAILY NEWS Year SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1956 tty It'llKU M. PA UK Kit 1'nmpa News Staff Writer Many local events have made Die news during the year which ends tomorrow and the majority of have resulted or will result better tilings for Pampa and the surrounding area. Somo of the big- stories reported only the beginning of efforts lo make Pampa a hotter town to live in. Possibly the biggest story, or series of stories, which it has been the good fortune of The News to carry about Pampa during 1956 was Ihc recent campaign in which over $800,000 i nsocurities in a community owned, modern hotel for Pampa was sold. The efforts of over 250 local citizens in this tremendous stock sell- Ing campaign proved once again that Pampa could accomplish any that would result in a better community in which to live.

Another of the big local stories that was good news lor Pampa in 195fi was the approval by city vo on June 26 of tho sale of $2,810,000 in bonds for city improvements. Several of the contracts have been awarded on the walei and sewer Improvements eovercr by this bond issue and work is now hi progress on the final plans foi the Hobarl Street underpass. As soon as the sites for the two new sub-fire stations are approv ed by the Fire Insurance Board in Austin, contracts will be lei for the construction of these buildings anc new equipment will be purchased In speaking of the Hobart Stree underpass, it looks like after sev years of need of this under pass in Pampa it is al lasl lo be a reality. Only one fclearanee needs lo be obtained fo the construction of this underpay and the State Highway Deparlmen reports that construction on the un derpass should begin sometime dur Jng 1957. The Hobarl Slreet crossin brings to mind one of the tragi glories thai made news during 1956 On March 29, James Alvin Hetze of Higgins was killed when the '5 Chevrolet he was driving wa rtruck by a passenger train.

ad started across the tracks af- er a freight Irain, which was gong west, had cleared the crossing nd wasi struck by the east bound assenger train. One of the worsl tragedies that made news during the year was lie head-on collision of two cars ear Lakelon on May 12 which took he lives of two men. Lafoy Jethroe eitz of Mobeetle and Carol Wayne VtcCraw ot Amarillo both died In ic collision. Another collision which was in de headlines was the collision of and Air Speed Oil Company truck nd a car on the bridge north jf Pampa on the Perry ton Highway on Sept. 4.

Jerry Culberson, 17, 828 E. Malone, later died in an Amarillo hospital as the result of njuries received in the accident. Clarence Townsend, 17, 902 Scott, was paralyzed by injuries in the accident and is still Highland General Hospital. Turning again to the local stores which were good news on a new addition was started. This construction should be completed in the near future and will prob- bay be one of the big local stories rext year.

The local option election on May 5 when Gray County voters decided that the legal sale of alcoholic beverages would be continued in Gray County not only made headlines locally but throughout the state. This election resulted in many different opinions on the issue but the results of the election indicated that the majority of the voters in the county preferred the legal sale. It seems that elections made the news in Gray County throughout the year. In addition to the city bond election and the local option election the following elections also made news; the county bond elec lion or the replacement of bridg es and construction of roads, the Democratic primary in which the only local race of interest was thai for the office of sheriff in which one during the first week in february that made headlines for several days. That was the over 15 nches of snow that Pampa received in about three days.

Remem- ser how hard it was to get down the streets before city employees managed to remove most of the snow. Most of us have probably forgotten the wonderful feeling that was brought about by Ihe snow during the lack of moisture since Ihal lime but I would bet that the city employees who worked those long hours removing the snow have not forgotten. An event thai made news locally but that did not take place in Pamp'a was the opening of the McLean Hospital on July 1, The hospital was built by the county and leased to the city of McLean for operation. This was the first county owned hospital in Texas which was built in a town in a county where there was already a county owned hospital in the county seat. Speaking of hospitals, the local county owned hospital, Highland General, made the during this year when construction work Rtife Jordan was the victor and General Election in which Gray bounty went for Ike.

A violence story that made head- ines during 1956 occurred on Ihe light of July 5 when a local woman shpl her husband in the hand While in front of a local bar. Tills slicks oul vividly in my mind as I was the scene when the officers made the arrest. Pampa and Gray County has been fortunate during 1956 in not having 1 what law enforcement of ficers would describe as a major crime. Several minor burglaries have made the news but none of them was of a tremendously serious nature. Yes, 1066 has been a good year for local news and several hundred good stories that made headlines in our paper this year havo not been mentioned in this article.

We hope thai during Ihe coming year that we can report many events that will be good news lo Pampa and Gray County and that the stories dealing with tragedy will be few and far between.

Kings mill, Oldsmobile Albert H. Pomrenke, SIS By VERNOW SCOTT HOLYWOOD, Dec. 29 (UP) Because a free-wheeling Texas millionaire became indignant over a drunken party sequence in "Giant," movieland will be the scene of the most lavish social event since the days of silent pictures. It all began when Jack Warner (factotum of Warner Brothers) invited David Feldman (a Lone Star oil baron; to see "Giant" at his home. "Tex" Feldman took umbrage al a scene which depicted Texans disporting; themselves in sad-sack fashion.
