had high praise for the school dis- {
trictn which have gone over the j
top in the face of failure in many j
quarters. Sbme of the school' dis- j
tricts have not yet reported, . and i
they, may swell the rural school to-!

MiSrSJLZ Merchants Asked To Voice
Cuero can go over the
top in tbe Wgr Chest
Drive and win exception-
al honor—if it waats to. The
drive ends Wednesday.
City Chairman Rev. Ewart
Watts, in a late checkup Tues-
day ,said that Cuero is only
$178 short of its $5823 quota.
“If only 178 persons will give
a dollar apiece we will make It,”
Rev. Walts said. “And It will be
a distinction because Cuero
would be the first city of this
entire section of the state to
make its goal. " i
“We have reached just about
everybody. The cnly way I see
for Cuero to meet Hs quota is
for those who hare given to give
a little more. I urge that at least
178 persons leave a dollar at
(he Chamber of Commerce of-
fice between now and closing
time Wednesday afternoon."
Rev. Watts praised the special
committee headed by E. H.
Nielsen, Jr., and composed of
Willis Barfield, W. O. White
and Dewey Schorre, for raising
all bat $178 of the needed $594
last week.
“It would certainly be fine,
though,” said Rev. Watte, “if
Cuero could go over the top in
the last minute of play.”
