For the NINTH CONSECUTIVE
YEAiR the banks of Texas have re-
ceived the 1000 point award which
is made annually by the Agricultural
Commission of the American Bankers
Association. Thos. Johnson of the
■Collin County National Bank repres-
ents the banks in Collin County as
County Key Banker. The Agricultur-
al meeting is being held at Louisville.
Kentucky.
Each year the A. B. A. Commission
rates' banks in all of the states on
the 'basis of country bank activities
which benefit agriculture.
“Agricultural production of Texas
is widely varied,” Mr. Johnson point-
ed out. “Bank activities in each
communty have been carried out to
meet the needs of 1
The Texac Bankers Association, how-
ever, has encouraged statewide pro-
jects to promote interest in soil con-
servation which not only takes in
terracing and contour farming, but
also pastrue improvement. Bankers
throughout the state have been very
active in -financing projects for 4-H
Club boys and girls.
“ The ‘regular’ services in which
Texas banks compare well with banks
in other states include the evtension
of adequate credit for ranch and
crop productoin and the promotion
of cultivation of new crops to widen
the soui’ces of farm income.
“Aonther important part of the 1000
point rating program is the work be-
ing done in each community to aid re-
turning veterans who wish to estab-
lish themselves in the ranching or
farming business.
“Texas banks have received much
favorable publicity for their state
through individual bank projects
whch encourage their farm customers
to keep debts at a safe level and,, at
the same time, to biuld financial re-
serves through the purchase of Uni-
ted States Savings Bonds,” Mr. John-
son says.

following protests
300 war veteran
against
Monday, Nov. 11 was “Armistice
Day’’ and McKinney and Collin Coun-
ty poeple had not forgotten that our
soldier boys had saved the world
from the bloodthirsty Nazis and it
was a pleasure for them to assemble
in the District Court room and pay
tribute to their memory.
The program started at 10
with a band concert by the McKinney
High school band under the direction
of Johnnie Williams. Chaplain Char-
les 'Harris of the Veterans’ Hospital
gave the invocation, followed by the
song America, led by Tom Mitchell.
Judge Horace Neilson delivered the
principal address and stressed the
portection of the youth of America
and child welfare of the Great Melt-
ing Pot that moulded soldiers from
boys of all walks of life, and all na-
tionalists that made up our U. S. Ar-
my, Navy and Marine Corps. Mr.
Neilson spoke of Chateau Thierry,
Verdun, Arrgorine Forest and other
battle fields on the Western front,
and of the thousands of American
boys that lost their lives in that war,
and the White Crosses that are over
there on foreign soil. Mr. Neilson
was there in person and spoke as
only one can who has faced the ene-
my. He paid high tribute to the
boys in World War II and brought
memories to them when he mentioned
the names of Normandy Beach, Bel-
gium Bulge, Salerno, Iwo Jima, Guad-
alcanal, and others that made history
by our own G I's of this late war. Mr.
Neilson’s address touched the hearts
of all. And since his own son was'
ia. soldier in World War II it made
it doubly interesting and impressive’.
Aftei-a selection by the High school
band, Rev. Kenneth Hay pronounced
the benediction, followed by Silver
Taps played by Jimmy Thomas, John
Edward Gay, Buddy West and Jerry
Herndon .
Cy Allen, Post Commander, Vet-
erans Foreign Wars, and Paul K.
Wilson, Post Commander of Ameri-
can Legion, had been active in prepar-
ing the program and in making the
meeting a success. They wish to
thank each person for his or her
part on the program and Harris Fun-
eral Home for use of chairs.
The program was as follows:
March—“Little Giant,” High school
band.
March—“Stars and Stripes For-
ever, High school band.
March-—National Anthem, H i g h
school band.
Invocatoin—‘Chaplain
Harris.
Music—High school band.
Song—“America,” audience.

WASHJ-NiGITON, Nov. IL—Presi-
dent Truman placed a wreath at the
tomb of the Unknown ’Soldier at 11
a. m. Monday, leading the nation in
commemorating the armistice that
ended World War I.
The traditional ceremony at the
white marble shrine, high above the
Potomac River in Arlington National
Cemetery, was attended by the high-
est officials of this and Allied gov-
ernments.
Following the national anthem,
played b ythe Antny Band, an honor
guard of soldiers, sailors and Mar-
ines stood at parade rest during one
minute of silence for the war ead.
Then, as the troops came to atten-
tion, Mr. Truman placed the wreath.
A bugler played taps. In an adjoin-
ing amphitheater, the President spoke
briefly. A salute of twenty-one guns
heralded his coming and going.
The body of Calvin Sullins, 22 years
old, resident of the Clear Lake com-
munity, was found in a slough along-
side Pilot Creek east of Clear Lake
Tuesday morning about 11 o'clock.
Sullins had been missing since last
Thursday, Nov. 7, when he left home
to go into the creek bottoms hunting.
It was during the heavy rains and
the creeks were running high. The
water in the slough had been six to
seven feet in depth but had receded,
thus enabling searching parties to
locate the body. Thirty-five men
were searching at the time of dis-
covery by Luther Smith, Clear Lake
farmer.
Judge Sid Williams and Deputy
Sheriff H S. Head went to Clear Lake
where the Judge held the inquest.
When young Sullins did not come
home at dark, the neighbors and
other people of the community form-
ed searching parties and help was
sent from the Sheriff’s department
in McKinney and also from Dallas. A
continuous search was carried on un-
til discovery Tuesday morning.
