One Hundred Years Ago, March 1924
One Hundred Years Ago, March 1924
March was a month of measles and oil fever (neither fatal!). Both the Ira and Will Cain families suffered from measles; Will’s family had seven cases at once! Sweet Mistress Spring proved fickle by producing 4 1/2 inches of snow on the level. It snowed all of one day, but much melted as it fell. It was worth money to wheat and oats. 03/08/2024 11:00 PM

Unplugged
Unplugged
I recently received this email from a worried parent: “Dr. Dixie, technology causes constant contention with my teenagers. Cell phones make it easier to sync our schedules, but it seems I’m always talking to the top of their heads while they stare at their phones! When I insist they put the phones down, there’s an argument. I just want to “unplug” sometimes! Where do I even start?” 03/08/2024 11:00 PM

Beckham County Fire Departments respond to Texas Panhandle and western Oklahoma fires
Beckham County Fire Departments respond to Texas Panhandle and western Oklahoma fires
Massive fires broke out on Tuesday across the Texas Panhandle and several Oklahoma counties that border the state. Because of the chaos, multiple communities and two states plagued by the fire, it is still unclear how many acres burned. The highest report that this reporter has seen as of 10 pm on Wednesday was approximately 850,000 acres, but that official was clear that it really cannot be known. The cause of the fire or fires is also not yet known. One report indicated thirteen homes were burned on the Oklahoma side, but again, that number is not confirmed. The number of confi rmed homes on the Texas side will be larger, but no numbers are coming out of that. 03/01/2024 11:00 PM
