Damages of various kinds were
: reported in Breckenridge as a re-
' suit of the windstorm and rain that
| struck early Sunday morning, but
none so heavy as that at the Corral
j Drive-In theater, and by way ot
i paradox the storm hit after the
' showing of a technicolor western
called "Nak" - in the Sun." started
1 at 10:36 Saturday night.
It was a beautiful starry night
i at that particular minute with only
an occasional flash of lightning
in the distant northern horizon,
i prompting Bill Creagh, local owner
| of the Corral Lo take his ordinary
! precautions for the possibility of
a rain during the night.
At 12 15 Breckenridge was be-
; seiged with high winds and blovv-
i ing rain. Thirty minutes later
' Creagh's door was being pounded
in fearful manner. A drenched
| John Creagh was admitted at the
{ door and he informed his brother
"hat the nine-year-old Corral had
i .'alien in a heap upon three cabins
I sitting on the south of the
• drive-in structure.
| The 55 foot structure literally
smashed the cabins that had been
| used for storage space the past few
' years. A fourth cabin, housing John
-Creagh. his wife and two children,
also was struck by the storm,
' catching one side ot the drive-in.
but fortunately all were safe and
j little damage was done to this par-
ticular cabin.
John Creagh had his family auto-
| mobile parked in one of the cabin
garages and his pick-up in another,
j and the fallen drive-in smashed
' both garages down upon the parked
; vehicles. The car was removed late
i Sunday afternoon, but as of today.
: the pick-up truck is .-.till buried
: under the rubble.
According to the time recorded
on an electric clock at the drive-
i in, the time of destruction w;,~ at
12:20. five minutes after the storm
i struck.
From the evidence of the wreck-
age. if .seemed that a small twister
j struck the drive-in An uneornplet-
I ed building at the back of the Cor-
ral lot lost a wall which was eon-
i structed of cement tile. Both fences
j on each side ot the theatre proper
.vere still standing, as was the
i boxoffiee.
The east pole of the drive-in
■ building showed evidence of being
lifted straight into the air lor four
'or five teet before toppling, lending
i further evidence that the destruc-
tion was brought about by a tvvis-
i ter
The Corral was opened for busi-
; rtess on June 4. 1!M!> and Iris never
: been closed for anything other than
bad weather.
Creagh purchased the Trail
Drive-In m 1954 but said that he
I would not re-open it during the
interval of time that it takes to
rebuild the Corral.

Growth of the service unit de-
partment ot the Salvation Army in
Texas during the last ten years lias
been one ot tne most remarkable
developments in the field of social
welfaie in many years, according
to Dan Eddy, Texas state service
unit director, stated here Thurs-
day.
the service unit committee, cre-
ated on a local community basis,
brings the great humanitarian work
of the Salvation Army into every
town and community that desires
such service. The service unit de-
partment lias expanded from a
mere iu.ndj.ul oi communities to
more than 150 separate commit-
tees serving nearly 2.000 communi-
ties all over Texas.
The service unit committee of
Breckenridge. of which C. R. Blain
is chairman, has served this com-
munity for several years and
brought tood and clothing for the
needy and relief in time of dis-
aster, this welfare program has
been made possible because the
people of Breckenridge and Ste-
phens county have shown that they
have a heart big enough to accept
responsibility for caring for those
individuals of this community less
fortunate than they.
Members of the local service unit
committee help make up the more
than 1.500 civic and community
leaders who serve voluntarily in
their own communities throughout
Texas to carry on the welfare pro-
gram of the Salvation Army on a
local basis.
The committee has appointed
Woody Garrett as camp chairman
to advise and help them to select
some deserving boys from Ste-
phens County ro attend the Sal-
vation Army's summer camp, Ho-
