man. farm south of town yes-
tferday-kflerhoOn. '' '•*
jtoesrs. .Freeman and Ran-
dall McCollum rtyahed to see
what It all. about.
They immediately discovered,
in reading tags on it, that it
Was a research project and that
the material was government
property.
Five or six instruments, in
boxes, were attached.
One tag asked that If the
’chute had not been found by
Ja:\ 25, Prof. Marcel Schein
of the University of Ch.caso,
Physics Department, Chicago,
111., be notified.
Another asked that Wlnzen
Research, Inc., Goodfeliojv ,\FB.

fication was made und a ground
crew which has been searching
fer the material came here
Ja.it night, picked up the in-
st.uments a-d gave the silken
parachute to Messrs. Freeman

Mr. Story has ta,us'ht languages
at Highland Park Hifch School in
Dallas Yor 21 years.
He was reared In Ennis and
taught German In Ennis High
School for a number of years. At
Highland Park he has been teach-
ing mainly French and Spanish.
Recently the enrollment In the
French classes at the schooFhas in-
creased so greatly that he hr.s had
to drop Spanish. He now teaches
live French classes.
At the close of World War I Mr.
Story decided to stay in Europe as
an employee of the federal govern-
mert. During this assignment his
work was primarily in Spain, where
he traveled extensively. He also
traveled in France. ,
Comparing Americans with Euro-
peans, Mr. Story says the Ameri-
can people are just linguistically
included to the extent that people
in Europe are because the need for
a knowledge of languages is not
felt here as it is in Europe.
Mr. Story remarked that a per-
son in France is not considered well
educated unless he can speak from
three to five languages.
Mr. and Mrs. Story traveled in
Mexico often .and he says that
knowing the language makes it
more fun.
Mrs., Story is the former Miss
Willie B. Burivhcad. She was reared
in Ennis, too.
The couple say that, if everything
works out, they will go to Europe
for a refresher course in languages
this summer.
More than 2,000 "March of Dim-
es" appeals were mailed recently
to all prospective contributors in
Eilis County.
