Regional Round-Up
By Pat Flynn
CHARLES C. THOMPSON,
chairman of the board of directors
of Texas Tech, and president of
The City National Bank, Colorado,
Texas, announces the Lubbock in-
stitution is starting construction
of four dorms, two for boys and
two for girls, accommodating 5.000
students, at an approximate cost
of 53,000.000. to be completed for
the September term. Tech is also
.securing the Lubbock Army Air
Field barracks for ex-servicemen
ftudents, accommodating 3.000
hoys, and promises adequate bus
service to and from the field to the
campus.
CROWELL desires to organize
a chamber of commerce and seeks
a good manager. They want a
war veteran and a live wire. The
pay is good and candidates for the
position should contact A. G. Bev-
erly. The spot is "hot" for any
organization seeking a place to ex-
pand, and no prospective manager
will go wrong in asking for data.
THE APPOINTMENT of Wel-
ton A. Ruhmann as assistant 4-H
club specialist effective Feb. 1,
has been announced by Dr. Ide P.
T'rotter, director of the Texas A. &
EI. College Extension Service. Mr.
Ruhmann will assit in direction of
4-H club activities in Texas.
MEAT MAY BE FROZEN at
temperatures as low as 40 to 114
degrees F. below zero in the fu-
ture, should such low degrees
prove worth the cost of tender-
ness, Texas A. & M. announces.
Beef frozen at 18 degrees and then
thawed is about nine per cent more
tender than comparable unfrozen
beef. The usual freezing tempera-
tures now in use are from zero to
10 degrees, the announcement
stated.
BRUCE FRAZIER, columnist
from Hillsboro, submits this sheep
yarn from the South Plains: The
new teacher from the East called
upon Billie Yates in the primary
department of Iraan's model school
for an oral test in mental arithme-
tic. "Billie," said she, "suppose
you left 12 sheep in the corral last
night, and during the thunder
storm five of them jumped the
fence; how many would there be in
the pen in the morning?" "Not
any," replied Billie. "Think hard,
Billie. Subtract five from 12 and
you should know the answer," cau-
tioned the marm. "Teacher," said
Billie, "I'm sure you know all about
arithmetic, but you've got a lot to
".earn about sheep."
MISS VARA CRIPPEN, present
agent for Lamb county, will suc-
ceed Mrs. Myrtle D. Negy c,s Daw-
son county home demonstration
agent, February 21.
BILL RUTHERFORD, publisher
of the Moore County News, Du-
mas, takes front page issue with
the red tape choking the housing
situation of his community. He
deplores the fact the Cactus Ord-
nance Works has plenty of rooms,
can't allow workers to use them,
yet the government pays plenty of
-lough for such facilities. All we
need is more Rutherfords fussing
at the government's delay in
action.
DECK WELLS, publisher of The
Wellington News, is disappointed.
All this time he thought Amarillo
would become the Dallas of the
Panhandle. But he has learned
Amaniioans dip 12,000 pounds of
snuff each three months (accord-
ing to snuff salesmen) and he is
now of the opinion that Amarillo
morial campaign now reaches $16,-
518, according to David Warren,
publisher of the Carson County
spokesman, who enjoys a tight
paper each week of national adver-
tising backed by one of the best
front pages in the Panhandle of
Texas.
JOE DENNIS heads the re-or-
ganized chamber of commerce at
Seminole.
C. M. AMBROSE is prexy of the
newly organized Denver City,
(Tex.) Country Club, an organiza-
tion boasting 30 families as mem-
bers.
DOUG MEADOR, Prexy of the
Panhandle Press Association, and
director in the Western News
Service, trekked to Memphis,
Tenn., Dallas and other ports over
the week-end in behalf of "Trail
Dust."
WINK comes up, with an im-
portant announcement this week
that all Winkler county lands are
annexed to two School districts in
a vast expansion and improvement
program.
SONORA announces that Sutton
county will vote February 23 on a
$50,000 road bond issue to improve
Del Rio's junction highways.
THIS WRITER'S tie was cut
off his shirt in Morton Monday
night when a Lion declared I was
a Rotarian. As it was Ladies'
Night, Mrs. Roy Hickman, tail-
twister for the occasion, made ex-
cellent use of a butcher knife, rob-
bed from the chuck-wagon table.
Her fines assessed for one evening
exceeded a month's penalties by
the man-twister.
BIG SPRING chamber of com-
merce members are discussing a
50-block paving program as a cur-
rent objective.

community distribution when three
test wells were proven at less than
20 feet depth.
HAROLD GAGE, former New
Mexico State Warden, is being
boosted for Governor of the Sun-
shine State by friends of Eastern
New Mexico. Some of the most
influential politicians and vote-
getters of the state are backing
his name for chief executive.
LOVINGTON, N. M., LIONS re-
ceived their charter last week
people "are bound to be having a | when Carroll Guiiderson, district
lot of fun on the sly."

cation also announced a call for a

"Spirit" is the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon which will be rea,i
in all Churches of Christ, Scientist,
on Sunday, February 10.
The Golden Text is: "The Spirit
searcheth all things, yea, the deep
things of God" (I Corinthians
2:10).
Among the citations which com-
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the fol-
lowing from the Bible: "Can any
hide himself in secret places that
I shall not see him ? saith riie
Lord. Do not I fill heaven and
earth? saith the Lord" (Jeremiah
23:24).
The Lesson-Sermon also includes
the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, ".Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy:
"Spirit, God, is infinite, all. Spir-
it can have no opposite" I page
278).

DDT Mixture
A 5 per cent DDT oil spray will
do a very good job controlling
household pests, such as moths, car-
pet beetles and silverfish. However,
until we know more about the in-
secticide, it should not be used
where there is any likelihood that
children will get it on "their hands.
Spray it freely on rugs or the mat
under the rug, on upholstered furni-
ture and on woolen garments. A
light spraying of garments before
they are put into storage will aid
considerably in preventing moth
damage. However, the old method
of having the garments dry-cleaned
and then stored in a sealed place
is probably better. j
As an insecticide, DDT is not any j
more effective for the control of
roaches than is sodium fluoride, nor i
is it any more dangerous to use. 1
DDT has not stood the trial of time
as has sodium fluoride, which is pe- 1
culiarly adapted to the killing of |
roaches.
Substitute All-Purpose Flour
If your recipe calls for cake flour !
