THE SHACKELFORD COUNTY LEADER
My Column
MRS. C. C. CADY
School Opens
On Monday,
patrons and
September 10, the1
pupils of Morzr.
schools filled the auditorium to ca-
pacity. A short program was giv-
en.
Song, America—the first terms
singing under world peace. Rev.,
Strauss Atkinson led the invocation
and read a Scripture with appro-
priate remarks.
Supt. Smith outlined the year's
work and with words of apprecia-
tion to the staff of loyal teachers,
only one new member in the facul-
ty t.lus year and that is Mrs. Clar-
ence Gay. Coach Odell spoke of
the Bulldogs starting out in good
spirits and a good lively team, and
expecting all of us to buy a season
ticket for the 10 games, only $4.50,
you make one admission by doing
so. Moran has always come
through to support our school and
its activities, the town's very best
business.

Soft Ball Season Gets a Starter
Last Saturday evening, on the
square opposite the bank, a large
crowd of soft ball fans and non-
fans gathered and put on an exhi-
bition game in order to limber up
and loosen up the soft bailers for
(he 1945 season. Two teams were
selected from the assembly of
farmers, railroad men, school
teachers, oilmen and what have
you. The game was thrilling from
start to finish with many brilliant
plays and some not so brilliant, but
all in all it was a good game and
from the way the bleachers re-
sponded, it was greatly enjoyed
and proved that we have plenty of
good material for a splendid team.

Since word was received from
Bruno Brooks, many anxious
hearts are awaiting some word
from Delbert Brooks, son of J. C.
Brooks, also a Jap prisoner.
o
SCHOOL OFF TO GOOD START
Moran independent school is off
to a good start, the 1945-46 term
beginning Sept. 10. School en-
rollment a little above average.
Supt. Hugh W. Smith and his fac-
ulty of 12 teachers promise anoth-
er fine term. The teacher situa-
tion for us was excellent, having
only one teacher to resign which
was filled by Mrs. Clarence Gay
who is well qualified. 'The lunch
room can supply 175 meals per
day, the first day 169 ate at the
lunch room.
RURAL ELECTRICITY
L. L. Walker of the West Texas
Utilities company and a construc-
tion crew of nine men from the
company are working on lines in
the Sedwick community to provide,
electricity for residents of that part
of the county. They are progress-
ing with the work as fast as ma-
terials can be had to put up the
lines. Additional lines are to be
put up south of Moran.

P. T. A. IN WEDNESDAY
MEETING
The first meeting of the 1945-46
season of Moran Parent-Teacher's
association met in the high school
auditorium, Wednesday, Sept. 12.
The meeting was called to order by
the president, Mrs. David Parrish.
assisted by the secretary, Mrs.
Hugh Smith.
For the program, Rev. Strauss
Atkinson had as his subject, "The
P. T. A. and tire Parent." In his
talk, Rev. Atkinson called atten-
tion to the fact that the boys and
girls of today are the men and
women of tomorrow, and clo.^e co-
operation between the teachers and
parents can result in better educa-
tion for the youngsters. His time-
ly remarks wer e appreciated by all.
By uncnimous vote, it was decid-
ed to meet only once each month,
and the meeting day will be the
second Wednesday. Supt. Smith
suggested that the P. T. A. get be-
hind the idea of building a concrete
walk from the high school to the
lunch room. As the 7th grade had
the largest number of mother's
present, they won the attendance
honors. There being no further
business, the meeting was adjourn-
ed to meet Wednesday, October 10.

FISHING PARTY

from Lubbock and Tahoka in the
Alfred Agnew home and while here

rado river near Goldthwaite. Those
fortunate to attend ware Alfred
Agnew, Clarence Gay, Emory Mor-
ris, Clarence Murray of Tahoka,
Weldcn and Wilber Sage of Lub-
bock. They report fine fishing
from Friday to Sunday with a 125
pound catch of fish.
A letter from Commander John
S. Shaver, Medical Corp U. S. Navy
Fleet, P. O. San Francisco, to his
mother, Mrs. J. C. Ercoks, Moran.
Dear Mother:
The five days visit in your home
in Moran was a real treat. I was
so happy to be with you again even
though it was such a brief visit.
The rather sudden ending of the
war was really good news, although
I didn't expect to have such good
news so quickly. I shall always
thank God that I came through
without any injury, there were so
many who didn't. I have been
assigned to a large hospital ship in
the Pacific. Our work will involve
care and treatment of prisoners
of war being brought back to the
U.S.A. It should be quite inter-
esting work with some travel
thrown in. Maybe I can spend a
little longer time with you on my
next vacation, at least I hope so.
Love to you and Mr. Brooks,
Johnnie.
Moran Boy Leads Flight
In Strike at Convoy
Two Thunderbolt flights led by
Capt. Herbert Wayne Mar tin of
Big Spring, Texas and Capt. James
R. Snyder of New Cumberland, Pa.,
struck a Japanese convoy which
was forming near Shanghai. Mar-
tin's flight struck one freighter,
setting fire to the bridge.
Capt. Wayne Martin, grandson
of J. C. Brooks of Moran grew up
in Moran, went to school here, his
parents moved a few years ago to
Big Spring and still reside there.
of J. G. Perry, a former citizen of
Moran. Mr. Perry was known to
have been in rll health, but he was
not thought to be serious. He had
obtained a six months leave of
absence to recuperate from illness
caused by an overworked condition,
and had returned to his duties as
agent^for the MX&T lines at De-
Leon where he lived at the time of
his death.
Mr. and Mrs. Perry and family
lived in Mcran for several years
where he was employed as agent
for the Katy lines. During the
time they were here, there wer e
few worthy enterprises that Mr.
Perry did not either head or was
associated with. He served as
president of the Moran Luncheon
club, American Legion, Men's Bible
class, which he assisted in organiz-
ing, Boy Scout Troop No. 28, and
he also served as president of the
Moran Independent School board.
Quiet, unassuming, always ready
to Jena a helping hand to worthy
projects, and always working in
the interests cf the better things
of life, J. G. Perry lived what you
hear proclaimed from the pulpits
on Sunday mornings.
A veteran of World War I, tins
god man, like the father of our
country was first in war, first in
peace, and first in the hearts of
his countrymen. But the Master
has seen fit to call this noble serv-
ant home, and we have the satis-
faction of knowing the wcrid has
been made a better place in which
to live by J. G. Perry having lived
and died here.
Thank God for the life of this
good man, and may he tenderly
watch over and care for the lonely
widow and children in their lonely
hours, is the humble petition of one
A'ho loved him dearly.
STUDY CLUB
The Moran Study Club opened
the new club year Tuesday with a
1 o clock luncheon in the home of
Mrs. B. A. Elliott.

man, reported one pound of soil

ers to be used in planting a tree in
memory of the boys in service.
The club moved to request the
county commissioners court to of-
ficially preserve the records of va-
lorous deeds of Texans in World
War II.
The resignation of Mrs. C. M.
Gay was accepted with regrets.
