Rainfall Recorded.
At One-Half Inch
South Winds Reached
Soaring Proportions
Crop Damage Checked

Thunderstorms that crashed into
this community Saturday night at
ter soaring winds had raced over
the countryside during the day
brought relief from heat and high
humidity with more than a half
inch of rain.
Rains that began shortly at
ter IL p. m. Saturday, continued
most of the night and brought
to the community its first rains
for the month Of July. Offic-
tally it was reported 81 of an
inch fell during the night.
Rains didn't completely check
the rising temperatures nor the
high humidity content. Sunday
high temperatures followed and
throughout Monday until light af-
ternoon showers broke the heat
somewhat.
Winds that began driving out Of
the south early in the week gained
heat momentum until Saturday
when they reached soaring proper
tions. In some places in the vic
unity, where soil Is lighter, crops
were in serious danger had the
south winds continued.
Rains Saturday were thought to
be quite general but this area
seemed to be in the path Of the
biggest rainfall. Rains were ac-
companied by severe thunder and
lightning, a little wind. No storm
damage had been reported.

Death Took
A Holiday
Fourth of July Passed
Quietly and Sanely In
This Community

Sank Centre went forth on the
Fourth sanely and came back
safely. And death and accident
took a holiday along with the pop
ulace.
In spite of increased volume of
traffic that poured through and
into the community over the indie
pendence Day holiday and the sub
sequent weekend, that over the
northwest claimed seven lives,
there were no accidents reported in
the immediate vicinity.
Not only were traffic acct
dents BACKED out, but there
were no reported water acct
dents, nor not even a fire
cracker burn that required
medical attention.
Doctors and police Of the city

Sank Centre residents, with nc
local celebration, confined their eff,

with family picnics and group out
ings at nearby lake shores. The
Fairy Lake picnic grounds looked
like "old times" with dozens OF
groups eating out Of doors.
Nearest celebrations were at Dia-
