Looking Back McNairy County Independent 1949 Transcribed by Nancy Wardlow Kennedy Proofed and setup by Nova A. Lemons Note: Selmer Basketball teams were usually the only one listed as other school teams did not send their news to the paper. Sometimes a team would be listed under the community news. W. T. Greer wrote the articles in some of the papers, just do not know if in 1949. Who ever wrote the articles had a great sense of humor and the articles were good, however due to the length only abstracts were taken. The first names of the players were rarely given. Some have asked why I didn’t include their community in the news. Some communities didn’t send their news to the paper; all sent were included.

Her dedication to the Fund was consistent with her lifetime of tireless commitment to a variety of civic and professional organizations here in New York. She will long be remembered not only as a role model for women involved in the practice of law but also as a forceful advocate for the humane treatment of all animals.

High-altitude color infrared photo- graphs were acquired by the National Aeronautics and Space Ad- ministration during several seasons in 1974 and 1975. These photo- graphs supplied the information on hydrologic boundaries and vegetation that was needed for classification and mapping. Seasonal information was required to map the maximum number of cate- gories. The stage (water level) was determined for the time of over- flights for sites where gaging stations are in operation. A wetland classification system was developed for the Tennessee Valley Region based primarily on vegetation, and on frequency and duration of inundation. Using this new classification system, wet- lands at four sites were mapped at 1:24 000 scale as overlays on U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute topographic maps. Adjacent land use was also mapped, but in less detail than wetlands.

    Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts

    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.
