HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL THURS., JUNE 13, 1974,
Perry’s K-9 Control
Perry K-9 Control Officer Joe Waye got a new cage on his truck several days
ago courtesy of Perry High School. Bill Loudermilk’s Industrial Arts Class
built the black metal enclosure, which Waye calls a great improvement over
his previous cages. Two separate compartments were engineered by the PHS
craftsmen.

Downtown Means
Much To Perry
Dear Bobby:
We moved to Perry 16 years ago because we
*t|ked the friendliness of a small town. At that time
we didn’t have the different shopping centers --
only a downtown district. This business district
has always meant a lot to us, not only as a shop
ping center but as a gathering place to meet your
friends. This is the very essence of a small town.
This is changing now, but for Perry to stay the
nice town it is, we must improve the downtown
area -- not only in looks but also the quantity of
things available.
We conducted a mini-survey on downtown
parking. It strongly revealed that women drivers
definitely do not like parallel parking.
We love Perry. Let’s don’t turn it into an area of
houses and shopping centers. If we don’t support
and improve our downtown business district, we
are the big losers, no one else.
Most sincerely,
(Mr. and Mrs.)

for their interest in the total
Perry community. There may
be many who are not included

coaches and team mothers
who spend a lot of time and
money, but if we’ve

made a specific cash donation,
I’d like them to contact the

Crossroads
Children Hour
A Success
Dear Bobby,
We, who sponsored the
Thursday Afternoon
Children's Hour at Crossroads
United Methodist Church,
want to express our ap
preciation to all of you who
helped to make this program
so enjoyable for the
youngsters.
To the businessmen who let
us tour their establishments;
to the City for allowing visits
to such places as the Fire
Station, and the Library; to
those who came on Thursday
afternoons to present special
programs and entertainment;
to The Houston Home Journal
news coverage; to parents
who furnished transportation;
to ministers who shared of
their knowledge and witness;
to mothers who provided
refreshments; to everyone
who helped in any way, we are
grateful.
At least eighty (80) children,
between the ages of 4 and 8,
participated in this activity
during the year with an
average attendance of 45. The
programs were planned for
fun, fellowship and learning
experiences. Without the help
and cooperation of so many
people, the Children’s Hour
would not have been possible.
Thanks to all of you and may
God bless you.
Sincerely,
Crossroads Methodist
