New Signal Lights
Being Turned On
McKinney is making another step
forward in a civic way as the result
of some excellent work by Mayor
Tom W. Perkins and Commissioners
W. B. Mitchell and Carl E. Melton.
At 4 p. m. yesterday the new traf-
fic lights, recently installed on each
corner of the square were turned on
for testing. These are expected to
greatly facilitate the handling of
traffic, not only on busy Saturdays

Commissioners
Court Sitting as
Equalization Board
Judge J. Frank Harrington and
County commissioners, Don Davis, C.
C. Whit, Frank Kerby and Levi Bass
are sittng as an equalization board
this week. This is always a close
hard job. Our Commissioners’ Court
is luckily composed of as fine a set
of men as any county in Texas. Men
who deeply sympathize with and
understand the interests of their con-
stituents. The court has been doing
all it could to keep down expenses
and avoid a raise in taxes or tax
values. And lower the rate if it is
humanly possible. The heavy losses
sustained throughout the year may
give them much trouble. Anyway it
goes we are sure our Judge and Coun-
ty Commissioners are going to do
their best to serve the people fairly
and profitably.

that two McKinney people are re-

Glad of Sunshine
We met; Gbodney Graves an town
yesterday. Came in from his fine
farm just northwest of city on a
business errand. Stated that he was
happy over the sunshine, for farm-
ers needed it. Said had lost some of
his alfalfa, but no onions, that he left
the onions to others. Goodney Graves
is one of the best farmers in Collin
County. He is a son of the late Goode
Graves, an early settler who owned
the fine farm where Goodney now
lives and which he owns; His mother
was a Shirley, a mejnber of the pio-
neer family of Shirleys of Melissa.
Goodney married Miss Mena Persohn,
our neighbor girl, daughter of our
good friend, the late J. W. Persohn.
Her mother, formerly, Miss Blanche
Stiff, now lives in Fort Worth. She
and this editor used to attend the
old McKinney public school, and have
lived to witness the great changes
for the better in our fine modern
school systems. But we just can’t
keep our memories from slipping back
into those “good old days.”

Mrs. Clyde King has returned to

ing for a few days.
How quickly people forget their
troubles as a rule. And it is a bless-
ing that they do. For the people of
McKinney and throughout the county
have had their share since yesterday
a week ago, when the rains set in—
making a record that the “oldest set-
tler” loves to discuss. The hardest
downpours were those that fell in
this section of North Texas during
Friday afternoon and night and again
Saturday morning.
The rain, which was almost con-
tinuous throughout Friday night had
totaled 4:88 inches from 2 o’clock
Friday afternoon until noon Saturday
with continual showers.
East Fork Creek, half mile east of
the eastern city limits went to one
of its highest peaks, with transporta-
tion entirely cut off over Highway 24
from McKinney to Farmersville.
Rowlett Creek between Plano and
Allen went on one of its worst ram-
pages with water at one place as
deep as six feet over the highway,
greatly damaging the Elm Grove
filling station just south of the Row-
lett Creek bridge on Highway 75.
A creek between Richardson and
Dallas also went out of its banks,
■stopping transportation.
The Texas Electric Railway at
noon Saturday was still sending cars
McKinney’s colored population
celebrated Emancipation Day (Wed-
nesday, June 19) with an elaborate
program.
The ‘Nineteenth’ was all theirs, as
far as work concerned, with a ma-
ority of colored laborers either “off”
for the day or as much thereof as
white employers' could grant—and all
three colored sections of the city in
a gay holiday mood.
The day’s program included a
street parade with a colored girls’
band of Dallas heading the line of
march; a picnic at Walker Park
baseball field, with a barbecue at
noon; a baseball game in the after-
noon and a dance at the colored K.
P. Lodge to end the day’s proceed-'
ings. ..
The picnic and barbecue as well as
the dance last night was participated
in by all three of the negro subur-
ban sections, including Lewisville,
‘The Run’ and Rockwall.

The state parliament buildings and
other state buildings are located there

proud in entertaining their visitors.
Peculiar.
One of the most peculiar features
of Winnipeg, Mr. Moore explains, is
that the pedestrian has the right-of-
way at all times. It is up to the
motorist to get out of he pedestrians’
way in going through traffic. Bi-
cycling is also a national means of
conveyances and the auto must also
be on the watch and steer clear of
such riders.
Highway 75 Important.
Mr. Moore says that the number
of good-sized American cities on
Highway 75 is amazing. It probably
has more average-sized American
cities along the route than any other
thoroughfare. The farm lands, which
it traverses have clean, neat farms
and fields, with an exceptionally
large number of excellent big farms,
with large barns, good work stock,
beef cattle and fine horses..
Mr. and Mrs. Moore. believe that
the trip was a profitable one and real-
ize more than ever the magnifcence
of Highway 75, McKinney and Collin
County’s finest thoroughfare.
Welcome home Mr. and
UtToore.
Trees Uprooted
Monday night’s rain and wind storm
took on cyclonic complexion for a
while. Much damage was done at
D eta ton, Sherman, Bonham. Here in
McKinney no houses were destroy-
ed, but a number of trees were up-
rooted. We noticed several trees that
had stood for 40 years blown down.
day morning
precipitation for the
proximately 27 iches.
Added to .66 of an inch, which was
legistered during light showers Wed-
nesday and Thursday, Friday’s pre-
cipitation ran the total of 4.36 inches
during the week.
Harmful to Craps.
According to County Farm Agent
Jack P. McCullough, the rain is a
“most unwelcome visitor” to farm-
ers of the county as the ground was
already saturated with plenty of
moisture for all purposes.
In Agent McCullough’s opinion,
the greatest or most harmful effects
from this and every other unneeded
rain is that Collin County’s soil will
suffer thousands of dollars loss.
As far as crops are concerned,
Agent McCullough says the “gulley
washers” will be detrimental to
wheat and oats, with very little of
either cut. Wheat, which was spot-
ted and poor in prospects in some
sections has been greatly damaged
by the downpour. Oats, which gave
prospects of a good crop have also
suffered.
Corn, is almost assured of a good
yield. But the muddy fields 'will keep
farmers away for several days yet.
The rain is detrimental to the
onion crop. It will keep many grow-
ers from, having their onions pulled
and marketed; at the proper time, and
also cause deterioration..
Dry Weather Needed.
Cotton did not need rain, but bn
the contrary needs considerable
dry weather. Grass and weeds, which
have bothered Collin farmers during
the spring and summer, will get an-
other big boost and farmers will be
unable to get into the fields for sev-
eral days to work out this staple •

on the installation of the electric

With 22 inches 1'
here this year, the preset^
brings the total to. at least 27 inched?"
The normal rainfall in Collin County
is about 32 inches.
Creeks Out of Banks.
The heavy rains, which fell over
North Texas, caused the Trinity
River to go out of its banks Saturday
morning. Flood warnings were issued
and citizens in the Trinity River bot-
toms’ in Dallas were forced to evacu-
ate.
All creeks
| Kinney were out of their banks, in-
cluding East Fork of the Trinity,
Wilson Creek and smaller streams,
all of which were on a rampage.
Traffic to Dallas Saturday morning
went by way of Frisco, while East
Fork, out of banks Saturday, halted
traffic east of McKinney.
Katy Flier is Routed Through
McKinney.
The Katy Flyer came through Mc-
Kinney about 2 o’clock Saturday
afternoon, headed northward over
the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks.
According to Tom C. Martin, local
S. P. Agent, the Katy has a number
of bridges washed out between Deni-
son and Waco. M. K. & T. trains are
routed now through Waco to Corsi-
cana over the Cotton Belt and from
Corsicana to Denison over the S. P.
No S. P. bridges have been washed
away in this section but in South
Texas their damage has been ex-
tremely heavy so Mr. Martin informs
«s.
Prof. B. Frank Skelton received
a highly appreciated “Dad’s Day”
gift Sunday in the form of a tele-
phone call from his two sons, Tom
and’ Max Skelton, of Pomona, Calif.
These former McKinney young men
have been in Pomona, a suburb of
Los Angeles,, for the past year,. at-
tending Junior College and working.
By telephoning their father, they
had the privilege of speaking to their
mother and sisters, • Misses AHyene
and Maurine, and little brother,. Paul
Skelton, as well as their father, all
of whom they had not seen in a year.
Only, parents who are separated
from their children can realize the
thrill Mr. and Mrs. Skelton were
given by hearing the voices of their
fine young sons away out on
Pacific coast.

tended going to Houston and the low-

Secretary Moore
Returns From Far
Off Winnipeg
Well, the old town begins to look
normal again. For Mr. W. Hammond
Moore, our good friend and genial
Secretary of the Chamber of Com-
merce has got back home from an
auto trip to Winnepeg, Canada. We
all miss W. Hammond Moore when
he stays away over a few days.
He was accompanied by his good
wife. They enjoyed every moment of
the long trip, to that far off beautiful
Canadian City, where Mr. Moore went
to attend the annual meeting of the
U. S. Highway 75 Association. This
highway crosses two nations and
travels the entire length of the
United States, from North to South,
from the Canadian border to the
Gulf of Mexico, passing through Mc-
Kinney and Collin County.
Meets at Sherman Next.
The next annual meeting of the
Association will be held in Sherman.
Only two cities bid for the 1936
gathering, other states giving away
to Texas, owing to the fact that next
year is the occasion of our Texas
Cenennial celebration. Sherman sent
nineteen delegates to the convention
and had the ‘inside track’ to the next
meeting, since they gave away to
Winnipeg for the 1935 occasion.
Secretary Moore led the fight to
bring the 1936 gathering to Sherman.
Approximately 250 delegates from
the two nations were present at
Winnipeg, with practically every city
in the United States of any conse-
quence along this highway, repre-
sented by one or more delegates.
Imaginary Boundary Lines.
Mr. Moore says this was one
the most enjoyable and harmor:-
conventions he ever attended. It
stressed that there are no real nation-
al boundary lines between the two
great North American nations. The
United States and Canadian boundar-
ies are imaginary the entire length
between the Atlantic- and Pacific, the
citizens live in harmony and are the
best of friends. The contrast, it was
pointed out, between Europe and
America can best be seen in that the
borders of European nations are
guarded and fortified, while the
United States and Canada have only
the faintest of imaginary lines be-
tween them. The common interests
and continued cooperation of the two
nations was also discussed and
stressed.
Winnipeg, Beautiful City.
Mr. Moore states that while in
Winnipeg, the delegates were shown
every possible courtesy and taken
through governmental buildings,
Winnipeg being the capital and prin-
cipal city of Manitoba, . one of the
largest Canadian states. He describes
Winnipeg as a beautiful city, about
the size of Dallas, and greatly inter-
ested in Highway 75, and are even
now planning to extend it northward
to the Hudson Bay. (
AU Weather Highway.
Mr. and Mrs. Moore went all the
way from McKinney to Winnipeg,
without once leaving Highway 75, go-
ing through Oklahoma. Kansas, Ne-
braska, Minnesota, South Dakota,
North Dakota, back into Minnesota
and crossing the border near Crook-
ston. The highway is an all-weather
road, only floodwaters in some places
causing detours.
On the way home they came
through Minnesota. Wisconsin, Ill-
inois, Chicago and St. Louis, Missour1
back into Oklahoma and on into Tex-
as. They stopped off at Chicago1 for
two days to visit Mrs. Moore’s broth-
er, Dr. S. J. Harrell Jr. The traveling
mileage on their trip was 3,503 miles.
When they arrived home late
Monday night, Mr. and Mrs. Moore
had traveled 751 miles that day, with
quite a bit of detouring because of
floodwaters which they encountered
ip Kansas arid Oklahoma.
Collin' is Garden Spot.
Mr. arid Mrs. Moore went north-
ward through the wheat and corn-
growing areas of the nation. Con-
tinued rains have damaged wheat
considerably and a large number of
fields they passed were idle. In fact,
Mr. Moore states that Collin’ County
looks like the Garden of Eden to
them. : .....
The corn crop in Minnesota-'looks
to be fairly good, while in some sec-
tions of Canada, through which they
traveled, the wheat yield will not be
up to normal. They were informed
that the Canadian Government may
take control of the wheat market be-
cause of the low yield anticipated.
Concerning the climatic conditions
of Canada, Mr. Moore states that the
nights there have a temperature
range of from 34 to 37 degrees, only
slightly above freezing, while the
days average about 60 degrees, being
delightful. The Texans on the trip
wore winter clothing, due to the
change in temperatures.
Days 17 Hours.
- The days at Winnipeg are approxi-
mately seventeen hours long, due to
the nearness to the Arctic circle. The
sun rises around 3:30 o’clock in the
morning and sets about 9:20 at night
at this particular season of the year.
Mr. Moore refers to the fact that
they went to church about 7 p. m.
Sunday evening and were dismissed
shortly after 8 o’clock, with the sun
still high in the sky. The winter
days are correspondingly short. Dur-
ing the summer period, which is now
beginning, the Canadians have much
leisure daylight time, with business
houses opening at 8:00 o’clock and
closing about 5 p. m.
Banking Center.
Winnipeg is one of Canada’s lead-
ing banking centers and capital cities. W
