Celina 50 Years Ago Today
This is a selection of stories, classified ads and commercial ads from the Celina Record first published Thursday, August 2, 1962.
Fire station is completed
A new fire station at the city hall was getting its finishing touches this week.
The builder was Kindle & Johnson.
Archie Hatfield, Celina's paid fireman, returned last weekend from College Station, where he attended the State Firemen's Training School.
Hatfield's attendance at the school gets Celina a 3 percent credit on the insurance key rate.
Brother of R.B. Camp is farm mishap victim
R.B. Camp, Celina's Frisco station agent, returned from Chariton, Iowa Wednesday where he attended the funeral of his brother, Walter F. Camp, 71, who died July 28 of injuries suffered in a tractor accident June 30 on his farm near Chariton. The funeral service was in Chariton on Tuesday.
The accident victim was mowing a field with a tractor and mower on an incline when the wheel on the high side hit a stump and turned the tractor over on him, pinning him to the ground face down for abut two and a half hours before he was found. A shoulder was fractured, and his left leg mashed and bruised, and blistered from gasoline, which fortunately did not catch fire.
The victim recovered sufficiently after about two weeks in a hospital to return home, but a few days later, due to pain in the injured leg, he was returned to the hospital where it was found infection had set in in the leg, and his heart had become affected. This infection and the heart condition resulted in his death.
Mr. Camp is survived by his widow; one daughter, Mrs. Gretchen Swanson and four grandchildren, all of Colorado Springs, Colo.; a sister, Mrs. Emma Castello of San Angelo; three brothers, Roy and Raymond of Fort Worth and R.B. Camp of Sherman.
Second day is set for Sabin vaccine
West Collin folks who didn't get their Sabin polio vaccine last Sunday will have a second opportunity to take the vaccine at the Celina school lunchroom next Sunday.
One thousand persons took the vaccine at Celina school last Sunday when the Celina Lions Club sponsored the Sabin oral vaccine day here. Helping to administer the vaccine were Dr. M.W. Graham, and Mrs. E.J. Lewis and Mrs. Wilbur Hundley as nurses.
When the supply of vaccine became exhausted, about 200 latecomers signed up for the vaccine next Sunday.
Hours next Sunday will be the same as last Sunday, from 12 noon to 5.
Friend of Celina men killed in traffic crash
Fred West, C.F. Choate and Ben Choate of Celina went to Menard, Texas, Sunday where they attended the funeral of a long time friend, Claude Dewey Rambo, Menard ranchman who was killed in a pickup truck crash near San Angelo early Sunday.
For 39 consecutive years, Mr. West had gone to Menard to hunt deer and turkeys and to fish with Mr. Rambo on the latter's ranch. The Celina man worked for Mr. Rambo's father on a ranch in Hall county many years ago.
The Menard man was a half-owner of the Menard Livestock Commission Company.
The three Celina men were pallbearers at the funeral.
Girl hurt in auto mishap
Miss Margaret O'Dell, teenaged daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert O'Dell of Alla community, was released from a Sherman hospital Wednesday after being treated for injuries suffered in an automobile accident Tuesday.
Miss O'Dell's car, a 1948 Chevrolet, hit a bridge railing near the John Stambaugh home two miles north of Celina and went off into the ditch at the side of the road.
She suffered a broken rib, cuts about her face, and pulled ligaments in a shoulder.
The car was demolished.
First graders should bring birth certificates
Bill Bradley, superintendent of Celina schools, Wednesday urged parents of children who will enter school for the first time this fall to be sure to send the child's birth certificate with the child when he enrolls.
Mr. Bradley said Friday, August 31 would be the first day of the 1962-63 school term. The following Monday, Labor Day, will be observed as a holiday, and the term will get under way again Tuesday, Sept. 4.
Tax boards at work
A number of Celina taxpayers have received notices this week to appear before a city tax equalization board to show cause why their property renditions should not be raised.
The equalization board this year is composed of Edgar Howell, Eldon Bilderback, and Hugh B. Peterman. They met several days ago for their first appraisals of the 1962 tax rolls.
Tax equalization board for the Celina Independent School District this year will be made up of J.B. Stelzer, Claude DuVall, M.U. Duncan, John Stambaugh, and John Laney. They were named by the Celina school board in a meeting Tuesday, and have not yet begun their work.
Former Celina resident patents missile device
Lionel Greenwood, Celina native who for a number of years has lived in Huntsville, Alabama, and worked for the Redstone arsenal there, has received patent rights to a device he made while working with the Army.
The invention records the number of mechanical shocks above a predetermined value that are applied to an object.
The device will record shocks incurred by a missile while it is being transported and allows personnel to read a counter at the destination to determine if the missile was damaged due to the shocks.
Greenwood, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Walter Greenwood, lived with his parents in Celina in the 1920s.
Nuptials scheduled for ex-Celinaite's grandson
Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Walker of Crane, Texas, have announced the engagement of their daughter, Mary Janet to David Darnall Griffin, son of Mr. and Mrs. C.D. Griffin of Crane.
Miss Walker is a spring graduate of Texas Woman's University and her fiance is a senior at Sul Ross State College. The couple will be married at 2 p.m. Sept. 8 in the First Methodist Church of Crane.
