UTILE OVER
OUARTERINCH
RAIN MONDAY
Mrs, E. H. Archer, official
government - rain recorder states
that 30/100 of an inch of rain
fell in. the town area Monday
night. Although the light precipi-
tation was greatly appreciated,
it was not enough to be of much
benefit.
The average rainfall for Cot-
tle county for the month of April
is 2.71, so in order to reach the
average for this much it is going
to have to rain better than two
inches the next few days.
County Agent, G. J. Lane
states that if a good rain would
fall in the next few days there
would still be some few fields of
wheat that would make a fairly
good yield.
Although April is considered
a little early for cotton planting
for this county, Mr. • Lane says
there has been between five and
six hundred acl'es planted todate.

ARRIVES IN STATES
Mr. and Mrs. Lem Lowry re-
ceived word a few days ago that
their son, opl. Gaston N. Lowry,
had arrived safely in the States
on the Marine Cardinal.
Cpl. Lowry has been in the
service for the past three years
and for the last ten months has
been stationed in Calcutta, India.
At present he is at Fort Bliss,
Texas awaiting discharge, after-
which he will come home.
Well April is gradually grow-
ing to a close, and this is the
month designated by Mayor Daw-
son Reid as “Clean-Up” time for
the City of Paducah. Several have
heeded the proclamation and have
already cleaned premises; how-
ever there is still room for im-
provement—so let’s “pitch-in”,
and make Paducah the Cleanest
little City in this section of the
state.

Spring football training is in
full swing up PHS way, and
thirty-one aspirants reported to
Coach Stormy Davis the first of
this month, and have been buck-
ling down to- intensive training
since that time. “Stormy” says
he mayi .not be able to place the
best team he has qver coached
on the field next fail, but states
“We will win some ball games",
and that statement satisfies this
scribe.

Headed by Finance Chairman,
Fred Becker and approximately
twenty workers, Paducah’s fin-
ancial drive for the Boy Scouts
of America topped Cottle County’s
District 13’s share of the North-
west Texas Council Budget.
Money raised in the drive will
help defray salaries of field
workers, office expenditures,
postage, transportation, camp op-
eration, leadership training badges
and awards for Scouts, and other
expenses involved in maintaining
strong Scouting units.

While we are on the subject
of scouting we want to get in
a “plug”—for Charles Romine,
Scout Field Executive of triis
area. Under his able leadership
the Scouting program in this
county and all over this area is
growing by le^ps and bounds. We
have had the privilege of working
with Mr. Romine through publi-
city for the Scouts, also heard
him speak from the pulpit of the
First Methodist Church at a Lay-
men’s Day Sei’vice not many days
ago, and we would like to say
that he is a fine Christian gentle-
man and is certainly doing a Won-
derful job with the Scouts.

We noticed recently Amarillo
was trying to “Muscle In” on the
Dallas Bonehead Club, and or-
ganize such a group in that high
plains city. The Bonehead club
is composed of a group of Dallas
business men who hold a dinner
each year in which no serious sub-
jects are discussed. Speaking of
Boneheads reminds Prattler there
is quite a bit of talent going to
waste here. For instance just
think what good material for a
“Bonehead” organization we have
in Jack West, Hubert Lee, Rex
Keys, “Cheesey” Coleman, “Ooc-
hum” Hutchison, Paul Newsom,
Bob Wood, Afton Willingham,
J. F. Powell and yours truly.
Now we believe one might search
all over Texas, or anywhere for
that matter and would not be
able to find any better looking,
more qualified boneheads than
the above named. Naturally if
such an organization was formed,
Prattler would -want to be presi-
dent, because the one with the
greatest “bonehead” assets should
head the organization.

Here is a little incident that
happened some years back—but
Prattler hearing it for the first
time a few days ago thought it
worth repeating. The story con-
cerns an incident that happened
to J. B. Bronner at the age of
eleven years. It seems “J. B.” at
that time was feeding out a cou-
ple of 4-H Club calves, and the
County Agent changed the diet
of feeding. J. B. needed more
money to finance his project—so
he politely walked into the First
National Bank approached Mr.
Phillips, the President and said,
Do you have any money?” Mr.
Phillips replied in the affirma-
tive, and the youngster shot back.
“I didn’t come here to argue I
need five dollars, Mr. Phillips
loaned him the money, and later
Brenner came back, repayed the
loan, started out the door, then
turned around, came back into
the bank, and reborrowed the
five “bucks” again. Moral—*
youngsters do think for themsel-
ves.

Three year old Ronald Love-
less of Straburg, Va., had a very-
exciting Easter Day. Here’s what
happened to him: He fell out of
the rear window of his mother’s
car as it was speeding down the
highway. He was hit by a second
car as he was strolling down the
highway. He walked more than
a mile, limping along on an in-
jured leg and scampered out of
the way of a third car that just
missed hitting him. He hitch-
hiked a ride with two soldiers
who caught up with Ronald’s
mother who hadn’t missed him.
