DIRECTORS OF
“BOYS CLUB”
MET TUESDAY
Seventeen committeemen and
. directors of the Cottle County
Boys Club met at the Cottle Ho-
tel Tuesday morning at 7 a.m.
for the purpose of instructing
chairmen of the various commit-
tees along their duties. From the
enthusiasm manifested at the
Tuesday morning session, the
“Cottle County Boys Club”, is
getting off to a good start.
Coach Stormy Davis stated
there were sixty boys present at
the first session of activities Mon-
day morning. “Stormy” is giving
of his time from 9 a.m. to 11
a.m. each week-day in directing
Cottle County Boys between the
*£fges of six to sixteen in super-
vised recreation through the sum-
mer md.Pths.
There are approximately- 535
boys ih Cottle County eligible to
become members of the organiza-
tion and those youngsters do not
have to pay to join the club, as
the whole purpose of the set-up
is to reach as many boys as pos-
sible and direct them in clean,
wholesome recreation through the
summer months.
Todate very few boys from
the rural area have joined and
it should be fully understood
“Boys Club” is open to EVERY
BOY between the ages of six and
sixteen residing in this county.
W. A. Bishop was elected as
secretary of the Boys Club or-
ganization at the Tuesday morn-
ing meeting.
WEST PRODUCE
WILL PLAY
STAMFORD
In order .to help raise funds
for the Food Collection Drive,
Paul Newsom, Chairman of the
Drive for Cottle County has ar-
ranged a Softball game between
the Jack West Produce and a
Stamford team for tomorrow
(Friday) evening, May 7 at 8
o’clock at the Softball Playing
Field here.
Admission will be free, how-
ever persons seeing the game
will be given an opportunity to
drop-in ?. free-will offering at
the gate, and the proceeds will
be turned over to the Food Col-
lection Committee, and in turn
the money will be used to help
relieve hunger and starvation in
famine-stricken lands.
Pitcher for the Stamford ag-
gregation will be Weeks, a well
known, star player of this area.
Red Denham, Goree, has been
secured to pitch for the Jack
West team and he needs no in-
troduction to sports lovers as he
is widely known as one of the
“top-notch” pitchers in this sec-
tion of the state—so the pitching
duel alone will be worth viewing.
Drive out and see the game
tomorrow (Friday) night—give
whatever you can—and remem-
ber proceeds will go toward a
worthy cause.

1 Vi INCHES OF
RAIN RECORDED
HERE IN MAY
A check with Mrs. E. H. Ar-
cher’, official government rain re-
corder here reveals that 1 1/2
inches of rain fell in the city of
Paducah during the month of
May. 15/100 of an inch precipi-
tation fell last Thursday after-
noon and night.
The county as a whole is badly
in need of rain. Most of the
showers during May were spotted
as some parts of this county re-
ported fairly good rains during
the past month, while some sec-
tions report hardly any rain.
County Agent, G. J. Lane
states that Cottle County wheat
is on the move and should practi-
cally all be harvested within the
next two weeks.
A 5:30 alarm called the local
Fire Department to the Richard
Compton home here x Friday
morning. George Archer, local
cafe operator, on his way to op-
en his place of business saw
smoke issuing from the house
and turned in the alarm.
Firemen, upon reaching the
scene, found a mattress afire in
the southwest bedroom, extin-
guished the blaze and then dis-
covered smoke coming from a
northeast corner bedroom. On
entering that room firemen found
it filled with smoke, from an-
other burning mattress. After ex-
tinguishing the blaze and clearing
the room of smoke- they discover-
ed the body of Richard Comp-
ton, age 46, local blacksmith, ly-
ing on the partly burned mat-
Sheriff Claude Willingham said
Compton was dead before the
fire started. Firemen found
Compton’s body with his hands
folded upon his breast and a coin
placed on one eye, while another
one cent piece was on the floor
near-by where it was presumably
knocked by the force of the fire
hose.
Mr. Compton’s stomach was re-
moved and sent to Austin to
check to see if death resulted iu
poisoning and at press time to-
day, no report had been returned
as to cause of death.
Funeral services were held Sun-
day afternoon, June 2 at 2:30
o’clock at the Primitive Baptist
Church, with Bro. E. J. Norman,
Wellington, Texas, officiating.

The Cottle County Food Collection Drive will officially
open Sunday, June 9, when on that date churches will take
a special cash offering and proceeds will go toward relieving
hunger and starvation in famine stricken lands. This special
offering will be followed by a county-wide drive to raise funds
and canned foods. A list of the workers was printed in the last
issue of the Post and those persons who desire to do so may
make their checks payable to Emergency Food Collection, Ho-
mer Hood, Secretary.
President Triiman has said, “We cannot ignore the cry
of hungry children. Surely we will not turn our backs on the
millions of human beings begging for just a crust of bread.
The warm heart of America will respond to the greatest threat
of mass starvation in the history of mankind.”
Cash contributions are preferred, so that food may be
bought centrally, in quantity lots, and at lower cost. Cash gifts
will also save the expense of packing, sorting and shipping.
Whether you give money, or food canned in tin, the time
for action .is now. Millions of our fellow men are begging for
just a crust of bread!—GIVE ALL YOU CAN AND DO SO AT
ONCE.

OUT OF CAR
City Marshall, Frank Bullard
and Deputy Sheriff, Buck Cream-
er, discovered two automobiles,
a 1942 model Pontiac, from Ver-

Dallas, abandoned here this week.
Only a few days ago local of-

staged by the Paducah . Motor
Company was well attended and
visitors had the privilege of see-
ing several old model Fords along
with a new 1946 model.
Mr. W. A. Bearden of Rte. 1,
was awarded $10.00 as a prize
for being the oldest Ford owner
of this county to register.
“Fifty years ago, on a quiet,
rainy day in June, the first prac-
tical Ford Car chugged errati-
cally along a Detroit street. It
was powered by a small, two-
cylinder engine, steered with a
tiller and resembled a buggy with
bicycle wheels. It was the fore-
runner of the many millions of
Ford Cars ‘that have contributed
to the steady development of in-
dividual transportation and to the
growth of a nation.
The local Ford people stated:
“We are proud of our associa-
tion with the creation of this
great industry, and proud to join
with the thousands of Ford Peo-
ple all over the world in celebrat-
ing this milestone of automotive
history—the Golden Anniversary
of the Ford Car.”

berry Community as “The Sol-
dier of the Week”.
The following account of Kirby
is a reprint from the “Sky Jeep”:
“Whenever I’m walking in the
immediate vicinity of an officer
and an approaching enlisted man
salutes him, I find myself on the
very verge of returning the sa-
lute”. These may appear strange
words coming from a master ser-
geant, but not so when that gen-
tleman in question is Alton R.
Kirby, sergeant of the Informa-
tion and Education office at
AAF, a former Fa-st Lieutenant.
Finishing school here in Pa-
ducah, in January, 1937, Kirby
accepted the position of ranch
foreman of the H. L. Martin
ranch. He served in that capacity
until November 22, 1940, when
he discovered that his knowledge
of horsemanship would serve as
a qualification to join the ranks
of the famed General Custer’s
outfit, the first Cavalry Division,
7th Cavalry Regiment, then sta-
tioned at Ft. Bliss, Texas.
When the 1st. Cavalry left for
overseas, June 26, 1943, they
took with them Kirby, by then
a staff sergeant serving as mes-
sage center chief and S-3 ser-
geant.
It was not until the 1st was in
the heat of combat on Manila,
Luzon, after having left its blaz-
ing trail through New Guinea,
the Admiralties, and Leyte re-
spectively, that Kirby received
his field commission as 2nd.
lieutenant, March 7, 1945, and
was reassigned as platoon officer’.
With the smoke of battle clear-
ing away July 17, 1945, he re-
ceived a promotion to 1st lieu
tenant.
The 1st Cavalry, first on Man-
illa was also the first in Tokyo,
which they entered rather hast
ily upon completion of the 'Lu-
zon campaign. Kirby was sent
home from there and released
from active service exactly five
years fyom the day he entered,
November 22, 1945. He was dis-
charged upon expiration of his
terminal leave in the rank of 1st.
lieutenant, December 26, 1945,
re-enlisting in the Air Forces
with a master sergeant’s rating
March 7, 1946.
Kirby, who is now awaiting a
Regular Army commission in the
cavalry, wears four battle stars
to the Asiatic-Pacific Theater rib-
bon for the New Guinea, Bis-
mark Archipelago, Southern Phil-
ippines, and Luzon campaigns;
the Bronze Arrowhead for the
invasion of Leyte; Combat In-
fantryman’s badge; American De-
fense ribbon; the Purple Heart
for injuries received at San To-
mas, Luzon; the American Thea-
tre ribbon; World War II Vic-
tory medal; the Philippine
Liberation medal with two bronze
stars and last, but not least, the
Cood Conduct Medal.
SMALL CROWD
HEARD JOHN
LEE SMITH
Those who attended the Memor-
ial Day Address, delivered by Lt.
Governor John Lee Smith, at the
First Baptist Church last Thurs-
day evening, heard one of the
most inspiring and well-delivered
talks of the year.
Lt. Governor Smith is one of
the most outstanding speakers of
the South and came to this city
through an invitation of the
American Legion Post. He payed
tribute to those men in uniform
who “gave their all”. Scoring the
average citizen as prone to for-
get those brave soldiers who gave
their lives on the field of battle,
Lt. Governor Smith, continued:
“There can be no peace as long
as evil dominates the earth, and
every person should affiliate with
the Church of his choice and
strive continuously day by day to
make this land of the free and
the home of the brave a God-
fearing, uprighteous, nation.
“We must not and cannot af-
ford to forget thou* men who
died that we might live—and
every day should be a “Memorial
Day” in honor of those brave
men who now lie in cemeteries
around the world”, the Lt. Gov-
ernor stated.
“America must not be caught
unprepared again, and an eye
should be kept on Russia”, Smith
continued.
MORE WORKERS
NAMED IN
FOOD DRIVE
Paul Newsom, Chairman of the
Cottle County Food Collection
Drive ha» announced his workers
in the Valley View and Buck
Creek CoaomUBittea. A list of the
other county city workers
was printed in last week’s issue
of the Post.
Valley View: Chairman, Rev.
Lee Hopkina, H. G. Seheller and
Roy Burch.
Buck Creek: Chairman, Rev.
Clarence Powell, J. W. Love and
Alfred Allen.
Mr. Newsom has called a meet-
ing of Committmen of the Food
Collection Drive In the Commis-
sioner’s Court Room tomorrow
(Friday) night, June 7 at 8:30
o’clock and states it is very ur-
gent for all committeemen to be
present at the meeting.
Cash is preferred in the Drive,
but canned foods will be accepted
and stored at Holder’s Utility
Service and on Saturday, June
15 an auction sale will be held
to dispose of the goods into cash.
We like the tone of voice and
the friendly way A. M. Parker
of Parker Studio says “Hi Neigh-
bor”. No matter if you live across
the street, next door, on the'
other side of town, in another
county or town—it’s still “Hi-
Neighbor” from the lips of friend
Parker. We have often thought
if every individual, state and na-
tion had that same friendly spirit
and attitude what a much better
world this would be. We like that
little gesture of friendliness of
“Hi-Neighbor”.

Some hope is held at this time
for Bob Wood, local Chevrolet
Dealer. Bob received two brand
new Chevrolets this week, and
he has really been stepping high,
wide and handsome. We under-

receiving all those new “Chevy’s”.

Dr. J. Frank Turner, Evange-
list, who conducted a series o*f
services at the First, Methodist
Church here recently told the
following story from the pulpit,
and for the benefit of those who
did not hear the story, we repeat
it. He said many people mis-
took him to be much younger
than he really was, and remarked
the reason for the spark in his
eyes, the light, swift, step and
the youngness of his looks was
due to the fact that when he and
Mrs. Turner married they en-
tered into an agreement that
when he came home of an.
evening if he was in a
quarrelsome mood, he would keep
his mouth shut, and if the wife
was in a quarrelsome mood, he
would get his hat and go for a
walk in the great outdoors—con-
sequently he had lived an out-
door life ever since, and that
was the reason for his youthful
and healthful looks.

While Dr. Turner was in Pa-
ducah he dropped by this office
and through conversation with
this scribe we found he grew-up
on a farm near Coleman County
near the little town of Santa Anna
down near where we had resided
a number of years before moving
to Coleman. We got to reminicing
and found out we practically
knew each other, he having been
a few years older than this scribe,
was a young man when we were
just a toe-headed kid, chasing
jackrabbits over the Santa Anna
hills.

By the way, the Methodist Dis-
trict Superintendent, W. M,
Pierce, also is a Santa Anna pro-
duct—he having at one time
headed the schools in that town—
and while conversing with him
one Sunday afternoon while in
Paducah holding a conference,
found out we were both well ac-
quainted with old timers of Cole-
man County

A few weeks ago this column
carried a story about V. L.
Hutchison getting lost down at
Guthrie, and taking the Dickens
road on his way back to Padu-
cah. Now then here's another one
that even tops “Oochum’s” story.
A couple of well known Padu-
cah women on their way home
from Abilene became lost down
at Aspermont—and drbve over
into Kent County before discover-
ing they were on the wrong road.
We have the ladies names on file
here at the office, but have been
asked not to print them, for fear
they would never hear the last of
their error

We “heard” it this way—It
seems that “Preacher” Garrison

posed to take along hooks??—•
