CHEAP LITERATURE
By Elsie Emmons
Many people dislike cheap litera-
ture, because they say it demoralizes
the youth and future citizens of our
country. It is true that in many
cases this occurs, but usually the
one hundred and sixty j reader is already of a low moral
I character. This encourages him to
apply what he has read to his life
Jack Robinson
Jack Robinson was born July 14,
1923 in the Steward Mill communi-
ty. He is sixteen years of age and
has light brown hair and blue eyes.
Jack weighs
pounds.
Jack attended Steward Mill school
year and hopes to complete his oai'lier.
on
aehool work here.
Jack played center two years
the football team and one year
the basketball team. Jack has no
great ambition other than to be-
aomc a successful farmer and stock
raiser.
We think his ambition is to be a
"Jack of all trades” and to get mar-
ried.

Asmemhly Program
In assembly Monday morning, the
younger pupils of Mrs. Danner and
Mrs. Lindlcy entertained us with a
Chinese Missionary play called
^Crinkum Crankums.” After the
play a short program of readings
and songs was enjoyed. Those tak-
mg pai t were:
Mary’ Reynolds—Martha Stroud.
Icing A—Dolores Fischer.
Fow Chow—Ann Steward.
Lotus Blossom—Nannie R. Tate.
Bob Reynolds—Frisco Short.
Ah Sid—Bryan Williamson.
Miss Irene —Miriam Browne.
Mrs. Reynolds—Carolyn Childs.
Keota — Max Wood.
Rosie Zif Zow Zee—Una Grace
Glazener.
Blossom Lee—Iva Louise Lambert.
Ooh Woo Wing — Shirley
Thornton.
Sing Wah Lee—William Allen
Stroud.
Chink Chink—Bryan
High ideals and standards of an
understanding people cannot be
shattered by reading cheap litera-
ture, because their sound judgment
protect them. Instead of lowering
their intelligence and character, it
develops them and enables them to
distinguish the good from the bad.

District Wild Flower
Show at Crockett
In connection with Highway Dis-
trict No. 11 Wild Flower Show, the
Citizens Highway Beautification
Committee of Houston County will
present to its visitors an outstand-
ing exhibit of general interest and
great beauty, which will take the
shape of the map of Texas laid out
on the floor of the Exhibit building
at the Davy Crockett Memorial Purk
at Crockett. The map will complete-
ly fill the entire central area of the
building and will be covered with
wild flowers in a rampant glory of
native beauty carrying out the theme
of the State Citizens Highway
Beautification Committee’s endeav-
whieh is that of making Texas
ors
Highways most beautiful of all.
Mrs. Ike McFarland of Houston,
State Chairman of Citizens Highway
Beautification Committee, in a re-
cent meeting advanced the ideal that
the Highway System of Texas, if
viewed from great height should pre-
sent a picture comparable to those
beautiful patch work quilts known
as Grandmothers Flower Garden.
In addition to this large exhibit
there will be on display wild flower
exhibits from the nine counties of
Angelina, Houston, Trinity, Nacog-
doches, San Augustine, San Jacinto,
Sabine and Shelby. These exhibits
will contain from 100 to 150 varieties
of wild flowers now in bloom, from
each county, and many unusual and
rare native flowers that do not often
attract the eye of the casual ob-
server.
The local committee has extended
duration of the show to include
April 14, 15, 16, to enable those mo-
toring in this vicinity on these days
may enjoy the beauty of the exhibit.
Every one is cordially invited to at-
tend and avail themselves of this
opportunity of seeing this exhibit.
There will be no admission charge.
April 10, 11.—You are determined |
to force acceptance of your opinions ;
even though it may make you ene-
mies. You would do well as a finan-1
cier and have talent as an architect j
You have marked talent for making ,
money which includes cunningness |
and shrewdness. Under an exterior I
of harshness is a tenderness not al-
ways appreciated. You have a fine
loyalty for your friends in the face
of the most bitter opposition. Fond
of a good time you are welcome at
any social gathering. You are fond
of art, music and science and show a
tendency toward vanity.
April 12, 13, 14.—You are fond of
taking your ease and very careful
in making decisions, you look at all
sides before entering into anything.
You are a good organizer and keep
your own council. As you grow old-
er your spiritual tendencies increase.
Anything you undertake you see to
completion, and are willing to as-
sume the responsibility.

ThERE are more Ford cars in use today than any
other make. And there are more Ford V- 8s than
any other 8-cylinder car.
The 1939 Ford V- 8 represents the broadest ex-
perience in building cars any manufacturer ever had.
You will find values in it far beyond what any other
maker can put into a car at the low Ford price.
Ford performance, traditional for a generation,
has reached neW heights in the 1939 V-8.
And now Ford style leadership is equally outstand-
ing. 'The smartest cars on the road" is the way own-
ers describe their new Fords. Smartest in action. Smart-
est in appearance. Leaders, as they deserve to be.
