Looking Back McNairy County Independent 1951 Transcribed by Nancy Wardlow Kennedy Proofed and setup by Nova A. Lemons Pictures included in these newspapers are in a separate folder It was impossible to list everything that happened and all the people - but I tried. I did not add all the visitations, like ‘Mr. and Mrs. Joe Smith were visiting in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Plunk,’ or I would still be typing. I did try to list all gatherings, school and church events and obits. I was asked once why a certain community’s news was not listed and I stated that community did not have any news published. Included are all community news included in the paper, except those that just listed the visitation (as mentioned above.) I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed transcribing. 1 MCNAIRY COUNTY INDEPENDENT Jan 5, 1951 Lester Moore, attendance teacher for McNairy County has been named the March Of Dimes chairman. Tennessee, like other states around us, had the greatest Polio Epidemic in 1948-1950 and has exhausted all funds to help those suffering with Polio.

McNairy county is one of the 92 of Tennessee’s 95 counties that are below the national level of physicians available. Selmer Lions always ahead this year. Out of the 13 games played this season, the average point per game is 78 and their opponents average is 41. However they almost didn’t make it in the game against Father Ryan winning by a very slight margin 67/61. Lineup: W McClain 20, Bob Kirk 14, B McClain 20, Hawkins 2, McCullar 11. Subs Barron. The Selmer team played Milan recently. Milan girls won 19/15. Girls lineup not given. The Selmer boys won 81 to 58. Lineup: W McClain 21, Bob Kirk 8, B McClain 27, Hawkins 13, McCullar 12. Subs: Moore, Bill Kirk. McNairy county Quarterly Court met in session on the first Monday. Sheriff Hugh Kirkpatrick opened the court which was presided over by County Judge B Y Howell; Clerk J T Burks was in his place. Magistrates present: C S Treece, W F Maness, W E Floyd, A F Higginbottom, R M Gean, W E English, D R Finger, W B Melton, J B Melton, J P Whitley, H K Maness, L E Scott, J L Hendrix, Haven Garner, Lit Wilson, W G Minton, W R Steadman, J A Churchwell, J O Mitchell, J L Tacker, Otis Plunk, Wilbur Robinson, E G Harris, R E Wade, W S Bingham, Absent were: Esqs J R King and J W Bolding. County School Supt, J C Taylor, gave his report for the year ending Dec 31, 1950: Warrants issued for ending quarter $208,402.81. Taylor asked to borrow $8,000 from Selmer Bank and Trust to pay the Veteran Farm Training Inspectors their back pay. To repay the loan when federal money comes in. Mr. Taylor had been advised by a letter from the Asst Attorney General that McNairy County was violating a law. The Board of Education has been buy construction material at wholesale and using local labor for construction. The letter stated that all structures which 2 exceed $10,000 in cost, shall be built by a licensed contractor. Mr. Taylor discussed the problem of bus transportation. If the Board of Education provided bus transportation to the front door of every bus pupil in the county, the cost would far exceed the budget for this school year. The new Social Security law, which is now in effect will cost approximately $1,000 more than budgeted. The report of the Highway Commissioner Erwin C Hester, disclosed that the State had deducted from the 2 cent gas tax due McNairy County, the sum of $8,328.45, from May through December 1950 for welfare purposes. This averages more than $1,000 per month which has been taken from the road funds because the County Court has not provided a welfare fund as provided by the state. Otis Plunk was appointed to the budget committee to replace Esq M C Etheridge. Esq J P Whitley, getting anxious to eat dinner made a motion to adjourn and was voted down. 25 voted to stay and finish business, one voted to adjourn. A jailer fee set up at $1.10 per day per prisoner. The court adopted a resolution to try to get a Junior College in McNairy County.

He said it was something he never expected to see. He watched it for several minutes. Buena Vista Community: Health is not so good at this writing. Everybody enjoyed the few days of sunshine, though we are having some more bad rainy weather. Letter to the editor: I would like to know why Leapwood community never has any news. I understand we have a reporter and they are supposed to be getting their paper free. They surely are. Signed A Reader.

    Al Smith Was First and Foremost a Ballplayer Whose Major-League Career Spanned 12 Seasons with Four American League Teams

    Smith was quiet man who made his noise on field By Gary Livacari Al Smith was first and foremost a ballplayer whose major-league career spanned 12 seasons with four American League teams. Primarily an outfielder, he played six positions as a major leaguer and was a fine defender with a strong arm and good speed. Smith finished with a .272 life-time batting average, hit 164 home runs, and reached base nearly 36 percent of the time. He also made two A.L. All- Star teams and played for two pennant winners (both managed by Al Lopez). He hit a career-best .315 in 1960 and posted his biggest power numbers—28 homers and 93 RBIs—in 1961. But despite his considerable on-field accomplishments, he will always be best remembered as the unwitting subject in one of baseball‘s most lasting images: the “beer bath” photo from Game Two of the 1959 World Series. When Smith died in 2002, his obituary in the New York Times was headlined, “Al Smith, 73, Dies; Was Doused in Series.” Alphonse Eugene Smith was born on February 7, 1928, in Kirkwood, Missouri, a St. Louis suburb. He grew up a fan of both local big-league teams, the Cardinals and the Browns, and his hero was Cardinals outfielder Joe Medwick. Nicknamed “Fuzzy,” Smith was a versatile, multitalented athlete at Douglas High in Webster Groves, Missouri. The MVP of the baseball team, he also starred in football, basketball, and track, and was a Golden Gloves boxing champion in the 160-pound division. Smith scored 33 touchdowns in one football season and was reputed to have scored 10 touchdowns in one game.

    PERFORMING ARTS • FILM HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts, No. 26 VARNER When early filmgoers watched The Great Train Robbery in 1903, many shrieked in terror at the very last clip, when one of the outlaws turned toward the camera and seemingly fired a gun directly at the audience. The puff of WESTERNS smoke was sudden and hand-colored, and it looked real. Today we can look back at that primitive movie and see all the elements of what would evolve HISTORICAL into the Western genre. Perhaps the Western’s early origins—The Great Train DICTIONARY OF Robbery was the first narrative, commercial movie—or its formulaic yet enter- WESTERNS in Cinema taining structure has made the genre so popular. And with the recent success of films like 3:10 to Yuma and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the Western appears to be in no danger of disappearing. The story of the Western is told in this Historical Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema through a chronology, a bibliography, an introductory essay, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on cinematographers; com- posers; producers; films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Dances with Wolves, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, High Noon, The Magnificent Seven, The Searchers, Tombstone, and Unforgiven; actors such as Gene Autry, in Cinema Cinema Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne; and directors like John Ford and Sergio Leone.
