FERRIS
NEWS
By Mary Lois Saveli
You have heard of people
having a ball. Well those who
attended the first Pioneer Day
in Ferris really did.
The streets and sidewalks
looked like it did in the late 2Q’s
and 30’s when people came to
town Saturday for shopping and
to bring the kids to the picture
show.
The farmers would take their
baths, eat their suppers and
bring a bale of cotton to the gin
and then take in the town get
their hair cut if needed. Every
store stayed open .until mid-
night.
People visited on the
sidewalks so that you had to
walk the street to get from one
store to the other.
The ladies and small children
stayed in the cars which were
parked at the curbs. The father
brought the car early and then
the family walked (if they lived
in town) and sat there until the
town closed. It might be of some
use to the merchants to have a
Trade’s Day once a month with
a little entertainment to keep a
little money home.
The Dry Gulch Saloon was a
sell out for each performance.
Of course I left town early to
hear the Aggies win another
ball game.
Several people from Bristol
and Ferris will be in Aggie Land
this weekend to attend the home
game.
Sure wish I could go! I’ve had
enough excitement, for this
month. Every day is like
Christmas. With more and more
gifts coming in . I left home the
other day and came home and
%und a deep frver on the table
with no name on it. Now I have
to say thanks to California, New
Mexico, Dallas and Trumbull
along with Ennis and Ferris and
Bristol and Wilmer.
If you want to know how I am
doing, read the last of the book
of Job !
Mrs. Johnnie Wright has had
a very severe reaction from
some wasp stings. She is still
having a lot of trouble with her
hand.
Raymond Sparkman has been
in Ennis Hospital but is back
home now.
Jane Witherspoon has been in
Ferris for a while.
You will be happy to hear that
Mrs. Susie Witherspoon is able
to sit in a chair and walk about
her room at Baylor.
Steward

87, of Ferris, formerly of Ennis, n

PlanD
How to save electricity when
using washers and dryers
1. Choose proper wash cycle.
(“Hot" setting isn't necessary
with most modern fabrics.)
2. Use long wash cycle only with
full laundry load.
3. If washer has water level control,
choose level to match load size.
(Saves hot water and energy
used to heat it.)
4. Clean dryer's lint filter after
each load to help dryer efficiency
and reduce diving time.
5. Don't overdry clothes. Set timer
according to garment's fiber
content.
6. Sort clothes for drying by weight
and texture of fabric to avoid
extra run-time for 2 or 3
slow-dry items.
7. Vent dryer to outside to prevent
indoor moisture build-up. Follow
manufacturer's operating
instructions carefully.
Conserve electricity and you help .
conserve one or more of the fuels
needed to produce it: natural gas,
coal and oil. Conserve fuels and
you help assure that there will be
enough to meet essential needs
for electricity in the future.
When you pass a TP&L office,
warehouse, generating plant or
other facility, you'll see that we've
turned off all non-essential
lighting. And. in as many other
ways as possible. TP&L is
reducing its own uses of electricity.
//you would like additional
information on conserving
electricity, call or see the Customer
Service Representative in the
TP&L Office.
