ELSIE ROBINSON SAYS:
The room is untidy — perhaps
filthy. It is filled with ugly, depres-
sing objects. It would make you
miserable to stay in that room. It
would spoil your day. You have no
time too clean the room. Perhaps it
isnot your room to clean. So you go
out of that room and shut the door
behind you.
You shut the door behind you,
and as you shut it, you forget that
room. You remove the memory of it
from your mine! as you have removed
the sight of it from your eyes. Then
you go ahead with your work or your
play and proceed to build a useful,
happy day.
You shut a door.
That’s a simple act....
But it’s also one of the most sig-
nificant acts on earth. Life couldn’t
go unless we were able to shut doors

its parents and loved ones envision - - -
there a potential leader of mankind.
It is therefore natural that with the
dawn of a New Year our hopes are
raised. We remember the trials, the
disappointments and the ordeals of
the twelve months that have ended.
A bright, new, fresh year promises
us, somehow, that conditions will bs
better. But for hope we would all
despair, therefore, let’s all hope that
it will be better, and work toward
making it better.
With the Old World involved in
the cruelty of war, with little nations
being overrun, with men who hate
nobody dying on the battlefields, we
have just observed the natal day of
the gentle Nazarene, the Prince of
Peace, the world’s greatest spokes-
man for peace, harmony and love.
Maybe we wonder, sometimes, if
the doctrines and the principles of
the Nazarene Carpenter no longer
are remembered. But let us be sure
that they are. They are remembered
by the mother, whose golden-haired
baby is rocked to sleep at her brea.->t
with a lullaby; they are remembered
by the graying father, whose sons
habe offered up their lives on a dis-
tant battlefield. They are remem-
bered more and more by our boys and
girls. The doctrine of the Christ
Child is not dead. The sacrifice of
the cross was not in vain. Despite
its setbacks, the world is growing
better. There will dawn a better and
happier day for mankind, when
tyrants and dictators will be only a
tragic memory in the onward press ot
mankind.
Let us, during this New Year,
contribute our part toward the ac-
complishment of the high ideals for
which he gave his life. It will make
of us better citizens. It will restore
the smile to the wan face of the
bereft mother. Tt will give our boys
and girls a new urge to live. And
let us also, in the New Year, remem-
ber that we are Americans. Here wa
You can shut your mind against
the demoralizing memories of re
morse and grief and anger and wear
You can shut .the door on anything
you wish.
YOU CAN SHUT A DOOR. It’s
your greatest power as a man.

ON A STORMY NIGHT
A kitchen lamp is not a starry light
With which to penetrate a stormy
night,
And yet its rays transmute the lead
of rain
To silver, trickling down the window-
pane.
Beyond the door, we hear the spilling
eaves
Drip liouid syllables on drifted leaves
And sit in awe before the music’s
spell
While water rises in our wishing well

the private dining room, with Mr.
Turner at its head and Mrs. Turner,
surrounded with her young nephews,
at the end. Delicacies of every name

fully informal manner. Christmas
decorations gleamed from every nook

Texas Own Mardi Gras
Has Gone Glamorous!
The Methodist Church
• • C , ‘ « f * l.* <!'«•'
We appreciated the attendance at
the services Sunday morning. A spe-
cial feature for the eleven o’clock
services was the dedication in baptism
by the pastor of his granddaughter,
Mary Kathrine, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Bruce Myers of Taft.
The services next Sunday will be
as usual.
The pastor and family take this
opportunity to thank every one for
the many Christmas gifts and expres-
sions of appreciation.
We are deeply appreciative and
thank you all.
L. N. Myers, Pastor.
A Mardi Gras of parades, of glam-
our, and greater variety than ever
before since its inception here hack
in 1867 is scheduled for Texas’ Own
Mardi Gras, to be held in Galveston
on February 1 -6.
In tune with the times, it’s to be
a Military Mardi Gras, too!
Adding another day to the cus-
tomary tenure of celebration, this
year’s affair has likewise incorporated
more events to appeal to the masses
as well as the classes and to attract
the younger generations as well as
the old.
Coronation ceremonies and par-
ades of such brilliance as to surpass
any of the past years’ celebrations
have already been announced accor-
ding to Winthrop Younger, general
chairman; Gus Amudsen Jr., director
and Silas B. Ragsdale, publicity chair
man.
Not only are the citizens of the
island displaying a keener intrest in
this year’s affair, but thousands thr-
oughout the State as well as all parts
of the country are being awakened to
the fact that Treasure Isle is offer-
ing a celebration unique and novel.
Another highlight of this event is
the fact that the country’s youngest
quadruplets—the Badgett babies—
who were born in Galveston will
celebrate their first year’s anniver-
sary on February 1, the opening day
of Mardi Gras.
The babies were appointed as Mar-
di Gras Mascots. These winsnu* girls
will probably lead the Junior Mardi
Gras aPrade, therefore, making their
first official public appearance.
Adding another feature to the
Mardi Gras will be the 100-niece
University Of Texas Longhorn Band,
who will take an active part in the
Mardi Gras Royalty Parade. They
will also play a leading role in the
band festivities scheduled for Monday
night which more than twenty bands
from all parts of the State will par-
ticipate.

HE WAS PLAYING SAFE
The barber was dark and swarthy
and his eyes were black and spark-
ling. It was evident that he was des-
cended from Latin stock.
“What do you think of the Ital-
ian situation?” he inquired of the
customer. “What is your opinion of
Mussolini?”
“The same as yours,” replied the
man in the chair.
“But how do you know my opin-
ion?” inquired the startled barber.
“I don’t” admitted the man, “but
you have the razor.”
