A telegram received this morning by Supt C.S. Denham from Dr. L. H. Hubbard of Denton advised that the president of Texas State College for Women would be unable to fill his engagement to deliver the address to graduates of Ozona High School at the commencement exercises tonight and that Dr. L. H. Moore, professor of education in that institution, would substitute for Dr. Hubbard on the assignment. Twenty Ozona High School students will pass one of the first and more important milestones in their lives this evening when they are handed high school diplomas denoting the successful conclusion of four years school work at the fortieth annual commencement exercise of the Ozona school to be held in the High School auditorium starting at 8 o’clock.

Several years may elapse before Ozona sees construction of a new federal building here, recommended last fall by the Public Buildings Branch of the Federal Works Agency, according to a summary of the present status of the federal public building program provided in a letter written by Congressman R. E. Thomason to the Ozona Community Council. In response to a letter form the council secretary, Mrs. S. M. Harrick, asking information on the possibilites of early construction of a new federal build here, Mr. Thomason gave the following information:
“This will acknowledge the receipt of your recent letter concerning the need of Ozona for a post office building. Last October, the Public Buildings Branch of the Federal Works Agency sent a report to Congress listing many towns and cities throughout the country where surveys had been made to determine needs for federal buildings. In this list Ozona was included and a recommendation made that $95,000 be appropriated for purchase of a site and construction of a post office. Funds for these purposes must be made available by Congress through passage of an appropriation bill. Money is not yet appropriated, and I can not predict when the post war public building program will get under way.
