Howe's That
In November 1995,
Washington Bullets owner
Abe Pollin announced he
was changing the team's
nickname, because Bullets
had acquired violent
overtones that had made him
increasingly uncomfortable
over the years, particularly
given the high homicide and
crime rate in the early 1990s
in Washington, D.C. This
makes one wonder what
kind of overtones the Bulls
and Bears must have in
Chicago, but we must move
on.

Perhaps cities like Chicago
would be better off if they
did in fact change their
mascot names from the
mean and manly Bulls to the
Chicago 25 or 6 o 4s. It
would be such a great
reverse tribute to a band that
tributed the city - while also
confusing to death the
would be violent crime

Perhaps we can finally put
to bed the great feud of the
Washington Redskins by
changing them to the
Washington Political Idiots.
One must admit, that's a bit
harsh, but lobbyists would
be big fans of the Idiots and
wouldn't it be such a sight to
see so many DCers wearing
the script "Idiots" on their
chests.

Steve Simmons at the Chamber Dinner on Thursday
Norman Dickey was hired by
Howe schools in 1964. He took a
football program that was on the
verge of collapsing due to the lack
of willing participants and grew it to
a District, Bi-District and Regional
Champion team just six years later.
After 12 years as head coach of the
Howe Bulldogs, he holds the most
most wins of any football coach in
school history with 51. After
spending time as a coach, math
teacher, counselor, interim
principal, interim superintendent,
and three-time interim athletic
director, Dickey retired from the
school district in 1996. In addition
to his accomplishments, Dickey
spent countless hours mowing

scoreboard, running the clock,

unquenchable. It is only a matter
of time before something in this
town is named Steve Simmons
something.
Simmons was the speaker at the
Howe Area Chamber of
Commerce Members Dinner on
Thursday night in Downtown
Howe.
Steve Simmons came to Howe in
1987 as a coach for Howe ISD.
His motivating nature has inspired
a couple of thousand kids and
adults to be highly motivated, truly
dedicated as well as rough and
tough. Perhaps no one in Howe's
history has held so much pride and
love for their community and the
children of Howe. He has served
as the elementary physical
education instructor for Howe ISD
for nearly 30 years. As well as his
work with children, he's also been
a varsity football, powerlifting and
baseball coach and junior varsity
basketball coach. As a longtime

The Howe Area Chamber of
Commerce held their annual
dinner on Thursday night at
Gabriela's Mexican Cocina.
Steve Simmons was the
guest speaker at the event
and gave a funny and
motivational speech about
his beginnings in Howe and
the first kindergarten
physical education class.
Simmons recapped his
struggles in his first weeks
but found that the kids
desired to hear that their
coach was a military man
and a hero which caught
their attention. He
masterfully captured the
moment by using the phrase
"discipline" with the kids and
running the program with a
military stile of order.

paperbacks (circa 1943-1947) are
being avidly collected and
preserved by collectors because
they have two significant features
—their physical size and a high
mortality rate.
ASE’s were published by a nonprofit organization established by
the Council on Books in Wartime
called “Editions for the Armed
Services, Inc.” This council
comprised of American publishers
of general books, librarians, and
booksellers. More than 120
million volumes were issued with
the intention that distribution
would be exclusive to members of
the American Armed Forces and
not to be resold or otherwise made
available to civilians.

Mathematics and the Imagination.
Not that these are not worthy books,
but it is doubtful that a few dozen of
the two million GIs made it through
them. I would bet if you run across
a copy of these books, they will be
in pristine condition.
Young men in uniform had an
insatiable appetite for fast-moving
adventure, action stories, tales of
intrigue, suspense and danger, and
some passion thrown in here and
there. Popular titles were The Case
of the Black-eyed Blond by Erle
Stanley Gardner, Martin Eden by
Jack London; Selected Stories by
Edgar Allen Poe; Lou Gehrig by
Frank Graham; Not Quite Dead
Enough by Rex Stout; and The
Long Valley by John Steinbeck and
David Copperfield by Charles
Dickens. Westerns enjoyed a wide
reading public. Titles such as Riata
and Spurs by Charles Siringo, Rim
of the Desert by Ernest Haycox,
The Fighting Four by Max Brand,
Guns of the Frontier by William
Macleod Raine, The Ox-Bow
Incident by Walter Van Tilberg
Clark, We Pointed Them North by
E.C. Abbott and Helena Huntington
Smith, and The Proud Sheriff by
Eugene Manlove Rhodes are reined
in by collectors and may lasso as
much as $12-$20 if in good
condition.
The format adopted for the books
was decidedly different from the
traditional paperbacks on the
market for general consumption.
ASE pages were wide, to carry two
columns of story and the page
depth was shallow. Actual pages
measured 5 ½ inches wide and
about 4 inches deep. The books
averaged one-half inch in
thickness, running about 250-300
pages. A total of 1,324 titles were
