—-■—A
. Day nas gone
but there are some-thlngs for
which we American^ are stftU
thankful, and a number of others
that we are thankful that we do
not- have.
—TnT—
Now one thing we are thank-
ful for is that our hunters are
such Nimrods. These are the
fellows who, emulating their
Pilgrim forefathers, Sally out Into
the forests' and bring back fresh
venison (yum-yum) and wltd
turkey, and set down to a true
Thanksgiving feast with their
families and friends.
.............;—TjlT—...
We can tell a sad tale of eight ■
hunters In a far-away village
who fared forth and bagged two
deer and one turkey. That was-
n’t so ba'd you might say. Oh,
ho? Well, It developed that the
two bucks had been killed by the
negro cooks, and as for the tur-
Eeyp"it.....probably strayed Into
camp
—T n T—
The Reader’s Digest is always
on the . look-out for figures of
speech which add dolor to the
language. This from the Hous-
ton Post Is what we call good—
“Thanksgiving turkey only a
bony'memory.”
—T n T—
We notice that the Chinese
women In Chungkung can’t wear
red any more for fear of being
seen by Japanese planes. We re-
cognize the danger involved, but
are willing to bet that 99 people
out of every 100 would think how
Strange It Is that war should
change the fashions In China so.
Schiaparelli, you know, changes
the Western World’s.
—TnT—
The wqrld Is definitely getting
air-minded. Had you noticed It?
The two greatest sports—war and
football have long ago taken to
the air, and recently the wo-
men’s hairdress has gone on the
up and up. We don’t notice so
many critics about this fad, tho,
as It seems that during those
good old depression days every-
one got enough of coming down
to earth.

Goodness, goodness !■ A Pitts-
burg symphony orchestra direc-
tor takes a Jungle tune and

for Toscanini to life some of our
highly-tooted swing music.

The first No-el the an-gel did say
Was to certain poor shep-herds In fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keep-ing their sheep
On a cold Wln-ter’s night that was so deep.
They look-ed up and saw a star
Shln-lng In the East beyond them far,
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it oon-t

Howard Payne
To Play Saturday
With the Texas Conference
championship safely s t owed
away as a result of an undefeat-
ed record In conference play, the
Howard Payne Yellow Jackets
face their traditional foe, the
Hardln-81mmons Cowboys at
Brown wood, Saturday. This con-
test, long a Texas grid i classic,
will be the highlight of home-
coming festivities for hundreds
of Howard Payne exes.
The Jackets’ 7-0 victory over
the Southwestern Pirates last
week was earned at a dear price.
The hard fought win cost them
the services of Waymon Wilson,
who turned In one- of his best
performances of the year. The
loss of Wilson was a serious blow
to the Jacket offense. However,

1938 season, the Ooldthwuttr
High Eagles will meet theQpj;-...

Eagles’ home field this after-
noon at 3:00 p. m. Although
this contest will have no effect
on the present standing of eith-
er team. It-will be a good oppor-
tunity for the followers of the
Eagles to partly determine what
the 1939 Eagle squad will be
as the boys who will probably
make up that team will be on
the field at least part of the
time. t
The Dragons completed thetr
schedule for this leason last Fri-
day when they wrre defeated by
the HIco eleven, a team that held
the Eagles to a "scoreless tie In
the third game that Gold-
thwalte played this year. 11m
Eagles finished their 1938 pro-
gram a few weeks ago when tha
Llano Yellow Jackets won 14 to 8.
