Work toward the establishment of a county library in Ozona, a project undertaken last year, will be continued by the Ozona Woman's Club as one of its major projects for this season. It was decided at the second club meeting of the current year held Tuesday afternoon at the ranch home of Mrs. W.R. Baggett. Since Texas ranks low among other States of the Union in the matter of public libraries, the Federated Women's Clubs of the state are making a concerted effort to bring about the establishment of as many libraries as possible this year. The local club has seen the need for such an institution for several years and has been at work on the project almost continuously.

Arrangements were completed this week by the group of organizers of the Ozona Television System, a proposed community antenna system to bring clear television reception into Ozona homes, for tests to be made to determine whether or not television reception is available over a super antenna system. An Oklahoma tower construction firm has promised delivery of a 400-foot steel tower here on or before October 28. The tower will be erected on a site selected east of the Richard Miller home on Tandy Hill, on W.E. Friend, Jr. ranch land.

This was the scene at the Pecos River Bridge on Highway 290, which separates Crockett from Terrell County, during the recent flooding in the area. The photo was snapped just after the road was closed to traffic for fear the bridge would be washed out. Hills in the background became islands as the waters rose and covered all the low-lying areas. Ranch families in the area are still busy clearing debris and assessing flood damage. (Photo by Dan Clark)
