Approximately 40 Ozona boys met last Thursday night with Joe Haddon, band instructor and experienced Scoutmaster to encourage the renewed efforts to organize a Boy Scout troop in Ozona. All of the boys were enthusiastic in their demands for perfection of the troop and most of them are now at work on Scouting in preparation for the investiture ceremonies to be held here within the next 30 days, when the actual troop will take form. Mr. Haddon has volunteered his service as Scoutmaster and is making every effort to interest men of the town in the movement.

The downtown Ozona sign-“Ozona, Biggest Little Town in the World”–is getting a face lifting this week. The sign, erected by the first Lions Club in Ozona in the early thirties, is getting a new coat of paint thanks to the concern of today’s Lions Club, the Ozona Lions Club (there are two clubs now – Ozona and Southside.) A passing sign painter was engaged to put a new coat of paint on the frame and post and the work had progressed yesterday afternoon to the point of applying a coat of handsome blue to the sign, which makes it like new all over again. The letters are cut-out glass, illuminated from the inside.

Property damage ran high last week in the southwest part of Crockett County when rain-swollen draws caused a devastating flood. Raging waters swept everything in their path away. Here, top photo, windmill, utility lines and fence are destroyed. In bottom photo shearing pens, heavy gates and equipment is totally destroyed. As the water receded, tons of gravel covered the land for miles. These shots were taken at the Bill Clegg ranch 35 miles southwest of Ozona where Howard Draw flooded. Nearer the Pecos, damage was even worse. Ranchers are busy replacing literally hundreds of miles of fence.
