Willing labor and enthusiastic planning and direction have combined to work a near miracle in a single beautification project along Highway 27 west of Johnston draw in Ozona. With Mrs. Ira Carson, president and a committee from the Ozona Woman's Club assisting, as the directing force, a crew of workers from the maintenance division of the State Highway Department assigned to beautification work, have laid out and planted what gives promise of being one of the prettiest small park sites along the highway in West Texas. Set out in native plants, some of them already blooming and all of them in such stage of growth as to make an immediate showing, the little beauty spot has been carefully laid out for artistic but not geometric planting and is set off with stone marked pathways and native stone rustic benches.

Crockett County motorists face the prospect of standing in line on the last day of this month to get new license plates for their vehicles unless they begin increasing numbers at once to visit the sheriff’s office and register their cars and trucks. This is the warning of Mrs. A. O. Fields, office deputy for Sheriff Frank James. Mrs. Field announced yesterday that only about 300 out of a probable total of 800 or more motor vehicles in the county had been registered.
