Because of the pressing work
here at the office, we sent the
wives to cover the TB Associat
ion meeting Tuesday night. The
story on the proceedings should
be acurate and true because the
main speaker asked to look at

They reported meeting some
very fine people from the north
ern half of the county. Mr. Ira
Tucker was one of them. Mr.
Tucker is president of the Curry
Cousty TB and Health Associat
ion. He is a very wise man. We
know that for a fact because he
asked us to send him the Coun
ty ’s Leading Newspaper. THE
PILOT, so he can keep up with
ALL the goings on in the county.

Well, more of this fine Spring
weather and the closer we get
to the primary' election should
keep bringing new faces into
the area. Remember, everyone
