1976: Rev. Clyde Stanfield, Air Force Capt. Mike Bell and Rev. W. C. Green were among those attending a meeting of the Curry-Roosevelt Council on Alcoholism.
The meeting was to discuss alcohol abuse, its effect on military families, and how good cooperation between the community and base could be extended to help abusers.
1971: A layer of ice covered streets as eastern New Mexico braced for a severe snowstorm over the next 24 hours.
Police in Clovis and Portales each reported eight minor traffic accidents before noon, all blamed on the icy road conditions.
Temperatures were in the low 20s.
1966: The front page of the Clovis News-Journal featured Lucy van Pelt atop Snoopy's dog house, complaining about "keeping his place warm while he goes shopping."
"He's got 14 more (shopping) days," she moans.
