he amlin erald IN 33RD WEEK SINCE 1905 HAMLIN, JONES COUNTY, TEXAS, FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1938 NUMBER 33 HAMLIN STREETS IMPROVED BY WPA FIRE BOYS ATTENDING STATE CONVENTION For the past several months continuous work has been progressing on Hamlin streets (the streets run east and north and south) in Hamlin. Nearly ev-1 firemen are attending, ery block has been treated since the Cities and railroads co-operate in This week four of Hamlin firemen are having a big time attending the State Convention in Amarillo. Those in the party are Crow, Lott Shell, Bradford Rowland, and Carl Young. Reports indicate that 2,000 ROTARIANS OFF FOR SAN FRANCISCO work started and they are still doing some needed work. By taking advantage of the government work or assistance, Hamlin has literally been lifted out of the mud.

Before the caliche-gravel work' ever started it was impossible to use a car without chains in this town. Now travel is possible in practically every section and on every street, in any kind of rainy weather. The WPA work has been done with direct supervision of Mr. Calicote, and this can be said of the every way possible to enable the firemen to attend their conventions. It is the biggest day of their year as firefighters to get into the crowded convention city.

Really one will be- gin to feel proud of the park. For some months past the National Youth Administration has been operating in Hamlin on a small scale, and their chief work has been in the City Park. When you visit the park again you will see that it the lake is full, and this makes a pleasant background beneath the willows, and other trees. You will find some grassand not very many weeds. You will find a lot of stone seats, stone tables, a barbecue pit, and lots of things that will help you make the twilight party a success.

All this work is just a starter. It is being done now by just four NYA boys, who must not work over a cer- waste or extravagance to creep The attorney general also com- on the farm in every capacity regardless.
