You could follow the searchlight to 3827 Rucker Ave. and the grand opening of Tony Glab’s Texaco Service. New from top to bottom, it had the latest lube and mechanical equipment. For kids, there were free Texaco hats and lollipops. For mom, there was a houseplant, and for dad, an Everfresh cigar.
The boy and girl of the month were Dale Tallman, 4732 West View Drive, and Norma Rice, 2309 McDougall Ave. Making the presentations for the Exchange Club were Judge Tom Stiger, Sgt. John Olson, deputy city attorney Tom McCrea and Norma Dale.
