40 Years Ago -September 27. 1956
*Dry drought conditions have resulted in what many feel is a
record in fire runs answered by the Perkins Fire Department in
many years.
The total fire runs for 1956 is 17, with not quite so dry 1955 pro-
ducing only four runs. The 1956 record started with the $50,000
Mill fire the first day of the year.
,Phillip Fagan and ArEs Riley returned home Tuesday after spend-
ing the summer at harvest. They worked in Texas, Enid, Kansas,
North Dakota and South Dakota.
-The Perkins Demons suffered their first loss of the season to a
big, aggressive Yale team 7-0, in a tightly contested battle that could
have gone either way with a few breaks for either team.
Outstanding on defense for the Demons were freshman guard
Stephefi Sumner and Horace Moore, who held down one linebacker
post.
In rushing, the Demons were led by halfback Bob Fagan who
gained 33 yards.
Friday, the Demons meet Marshall on the Perkins field in a con-
ference game. The Demons beat Marshall 20 to 0 last year.

oln a Letter TO The Editor, residents Mr. and Mrs. James Adams
write: "Justice? I see no reason why the residents of Perkins should
pay for a service they do not receive half the time. It would seem
only fair, that if the City of Perkins charges its residents 50 cents
monthly as a trash hauling fee, they should receive this service.
Individual complaints seem of no avail. Our Mayor has stated that
His ship, USS Edward McDonnell, crossed the equator during her
current Western Pacific deployment.
He has been designated a "Shellback", having been declared so by
the seafaring legendary, ominous court of"King Neptune." His ship

*All roads lead to Perkins this Friday and Saturday, Sept. 24 and

There'll be fun for everyone - from horseshoe pitching, hog calling,
to dancing, to dominoes.
But look out for The Wild Bunch pictured below. This salty group
has threatened a bank robbery about 2:30 p.m. Their names are
Warren Reynolds, Curtis Owens, Myron Reynolds and Leon
Reynolds, so be on the lookout for them.
Be sure to wear your Western clothes or you may be fined and/or
thrown in jail. So it may be a little dangerous to attend, but the fun
will be well worth it.
