THOUGHT FOR TODAY
“The fool hath said in his
heart, There is no God.”—
Psalms.

.Tomorrow brings Public
Schools Week to its close. Have
you dropped in, for a visit, at
our Ennis schools during this
period? They’re sincere in
their invitation. How about ac-
cepting it? It will be appreciat-
ed1—and you’ll enjoy the exper-
ience.

Today we completed the visits
with the service clubs, Opti-

in observance of Public Schools
Week here in Ennis, and our sin-
cere impression was that the
clubmen thoroughly enjoyed it
and What the youngfolk and the
faculties were truly pleased
with the interest shown.

We’ve heard many an adult
Boy Scouting leader declare that
Camp is one of the most impor-
tant features in Scouting, due
to a combination of enjoyment
and inspiration, as provided by
activities there, for the boys.
That’s to be considered by pros-
pective donors as the campaign,
led by Dan Tucker, moves for-
ward for the Building for Youth
program—which would improve
existing camps and provide a
splendid site for new camps at
Athens, Tex.

1st Christian’s
Bible School in
Attendance Plan
The Bible school of the First
Christian Church got under way
last Sunday morning with an at-
tendance program which will
continue through to Easter Sun-
day morning. Upon the very first
Sunday of the attendance pro-
gram the Bible school atten-
dance showed a twenty-two per
cent increase over the same Sun-
day a year ago. Many of the
regular members of the Bible
school were out due to flu,
chicken pox or out of town.
The theme of the attendance
program is “Reaching For the
Stars.” Each department and
class of the Bible school has a
rocket and a chartered course
toward the stars which is a part
of a large wall plaque hanging
in the sanctuary. Each class
rocket will move upward toward
the stars according to the points
earned each Sunday.
The attendance program will
close with a Bible school picnic
honoring the class with the best
attendance during this period.
"A cordial invitation is ex-
tended to everyone not attending
Bible school elsewhere to attend
a Bible school class at First
Christian. The time is 9:45 o’-
clock every Sunday morning,”
said the announcement.

Charge Twelve
In Thefts at
Ferris Firm
Twelve employes of the Ferris
Brick Company have been
common bricks from the com-
pany yard since December 1.
T. C. Hooker, manager of the
business, told District Attorney
Bruce Allen that he actually did
not know how long employes
had been hauling bricks away
and selling them in Dallas at a
discount. Most of the defendants
are brick plant employes of long
tenure, the district attorney
sajd—adding that since the
bricks were sold at 2 cents a
piece, their ventures did not
bring them much monetary re-
turn.
Mr. Allen said it is believed
that the bricks were hauled a-
way in cars after the plant clos-
ed at night.

Science Program
At Ennis High in
Five Courses
The science program at Ennis
High School consists currently
of five courses: general science,
physical science, biology, chem-
istry, and physics. All students
are required to take two years
of science, and if the student
plans on attending college, he is
strongly advised to take three or
four years of science.
Freshmen' take one of two
courses, physical science or gen-
eral science. These courses are
survey courses covering the
basic principles of science with-
out vigorous mathematical
treatment. General science
touches on most fields of science,
while physical science treats of
the basic principles of chemistry
and physics.
Depending upon his freshman
course, a sophomore may take
physical science or elect biology.
Biology is by far the most popu-
lar elective science, possibly be-
cause it is the first of the elec-
tives, or maybe because pupils
find the subject matter more
meaningful and more easily ap-
plied to themselves.
To many students entering
their junior year, chemistry sug-
gests all kinds of exciting things
—explosives, color changes,
bubblings, startling
transformations—strongly tinted
with the romance that science
fiction gives to chemistry. What
a pity so many of them are disil-
lusioned! However, during the
past few years high school chem-
istry has been undergoing a re-
organization. A modern chem-
istry course is evolving in which
emphasis is placed on basic con-
cepts and the students’ ability
to reason with them. However,
the need for some memorization
and a good mathematics back-
ground can never be eliminated
from chemistry.
Although any senior may elect
to take physics, it is generally
taken as a college preparatory
course and is the least popular
of the science electives, possibly
because of its mathematics re-
quirements.
All students enrolled in
science courses at EHS follow
certain departmental policies.
All are required to keep a note-
book of their work; a prescribed
number of experiments are to
be completed each year: and
each student is required to do a
science project.
The Science Building con-
tains three separate laboratories
and supply rooms each equipped
for the three elective sciences—
biology, chemistry, and physics.
General science and physical
science have access to the equip-
ment of all three laboratories.
Currently these labs are being
worked overtime as students
place finishing touches on their
science projects for the year.

Plans Stated
For Christian
Baseball, Baylor
Novel and timely, a program
designed as Christian Baseball
has been arranged for the Young
People’s and Intermediates’ Sun-
day School classes of Baylor
Baptist Church starting April 3.
The objective of the feature is
the winning of souls to Christ,
the activities of team members
being those of their religious liv-
es.
Forming the league will be six
Sunday School Classes, and, coin-
cidentally, the Texas League has
six clubs. Winners will move up
in the standings, with “games”
played every week. Victories will
be charted in league statistics.
Along with team results, re-
cords of individual honors—
“hitting, slugging, drivnig in
runs,” will be recorded, and
there will be statistics for each
participating batter. Top batter
will be decided by his “power
efficiency rating.” The program,
however, is “one not for personal
glory, but for the Glory of God,”
it has been emphasized.
The teams:
Young People’s Girls, Shirley
Vaughn, manager.
Young People’s Boys, Jack
Wells, manager.
Intermediate Girls No. 1, Mrs.
L. C. Cook, manager. ..
Intermediate Girls No. 2, Don-

Intermediate Boys No. 1,
Franklin Dobbs, manager.
Intermediate Boys No. 2, Bill

namese regiment. Casualties on
both sides were said to be heavy.
Weather was on the side of the
enemy. Clouds hampered efforts
of U-S planes trying to blast at
the enemy and aid the defenders
of the camp near the Laothian
border. Today the camp finally
was overwhelmed. Some of the
defenders were flown out by
helicopter—but the number isn’t
known.
The bad weather also limited
U-S air strikes against North
Viet Nam. Planes had to make
radar-guided attacks but still re-
ported some hits on Communist
lines.
The ground fighting was high-
lighted by the loss to the Com-
munists of the Special Forces
Camp 360 miles north of Saigon.
Three U-S aircraft—two plan-
es and a helicopter—were lost
in the determined effort to save
the camp. The camp is so isolat-
ed that the only way to bring in
aid was by air.
The American and Vietnamese
defenders had thrown back three
Red assaults. And at the end the
American Special Forces Troops
and the tough Mountain Tribes-
men were clinging to a single
bunker.
The South Viet Nam Military
Government has ousted one of
its most powerful members, but
apparently did not cause a ma-
jor political crisis. It has been
learned that the military regime
has fired Lieutenant-General
Nguyen Chahn Thi, the com-
mander of the northern-most
First Corps area. The restless
General is said to have found
he had no backing when the
show-down came. Tanks and
extra troops were stationed
around the air base headquarters
15 miles north of Saigon where
the decision was made. All ap-
peared quiet. : we
