inie Allen, Emma Jo Scott Crowned King,
sen At Smyer's SchoolCarnival Saturday
lie Allen and Emma Jo
members oX the senior class
Srnyer, were crowned king and
queen of the school carnival, Sat-
urday night, Dec. 8, In an im-
pressive ceremony held following
the carnival.
Balloting on the school’s king
and queen was done on the basis
\pf money taken in by the various
HPlsses since mid-November. Each
.Class held bake sales on certain
kjra and that money, together
Rth the proceeds from the class
ansored game or booth at the
^J&klval, counted as votes for that
class. Each class had a candidate
for king and queen.
, Perry Moring, superintendent,
onnounced that approximately
8800 was realized from the carn-
ival which included no games of
chance “That may have hurt our
Proceeds just a little," Moring
said “but it was better in the
Jong run.” The total arrtount will
be divided, half to go into the
school’s activities fund and the
other half to be divided equally
between the classes.
The carnival opened at 7 p. m.
rnd continued through 11 p. m.
when the coronation ceremony
ended. The high school choru^ ■op-
ened the evening’s activities v?ith
a program of- singing under the
direction of Mrs. Ray Nichols.
Another part of the program fea-
tured Weldon Middleton, Negro
teacher from Sudan, who brought
in four of his pupils in a program
of Negro spiritual songs.
The carnival itself featured
basketball, snow cone booths,
country stores, movie shows, fish-
fng ponds, and other games. One
of the most popular proved to be
a ducking stool in which visitors
paid for the chance to duck Rev
Wayland Edward's, pastor of the
Smyer Baptist church .On several
occasions they succeeded.
The coronation program started
at 10:30 o’clock with each of the
class candidates entering the au-
ditorium and taking their places
on the stage. Santa Claus appear-
ed on the scene amid decorations
of Christmas trees and colored
lights to bring presents, among
which was a big box for the
queen. The box contained a big
crown and Ronnie Allen crowned
the queen in the appropriate man-
ner.

Feet and Pocketbook LikelyTo
Bear Brunt of Yuletide Shopping
Your feet and your pocketbook
are the parts of you most likely to
bear the brunt of Christmas shop-
oing. Be careful planning and
budgeting ahead of time, often
you can relieve some of the pock-
etbook strain, and a little fore-
sight will also help where your
feet are concerned.
Everyone gets dressed up to go
Christmas shopping but the ladies
really needn’t wear their very
highest heels in order to be stylish.
Those who have worn high heels
from their early teens, never tak-
ing to a flat heeled shoe, will
probably be more comfortable in
some kind of heel but it should
he a solid, broad heel of not more
than two inches when the time
comes to'pound the pavements
day after day. If your feet and
legs are adjusted to a heel of some
he.ight, you are likely to develop
:,ches and pains if you put on
flats or unaccustomed low heels
for the shopping expedition.
So you wear sensible shoes, not
-t great variance with what you
normally wear. And you point
your feet forward. If you develop
a pain on the inner side of the
long arches, you are probably
pointing your foot outward in-
stead of forward.
'‘Sensible shoes” doesn’t mean
ugly shoes. It does mean the shoe
should fit the foot, not the foot
fit the shoe. Some people cannot
wear narrow-toed shoes: it may
be a pretty shoe but if the to(
get scrouged up in an inadequate
space that causes rubbing and
cramping, those toes get un-pretty
in a hurry with such growths as
corns, bunions and calluses.
Watch the heel fit of your shoes,

too. Narrow-heeled shoes on a
wide-heeled foot can rub agains*
the heel in such a manner as tf
lead to painful spurs.
You also have arches in you>
feet. Not only shoes but also thr
improper fit of your stockings ma;
cause an arch strain, a persisten'
foot pain, or calluses under thr
balls of the feet.
There are 26 joints among thr
bones in each foot "from ankle t'
toe tip, each one having a definitr
outy to perform to keep your foo
fexible and get you around or
your daily-‘dozen, which become
a daily two - dozen during the
Christmas season. If your shoe"
your stockings or your posture dr
not bring all those joints and th-»
cccompanying parts into prope-
play with the increased exercis-'
mg, you are probably going tr
feel it in your feet.
If they just ache and throb likr
they might from friction agains'
the pavement, the best treatmen'
may be a contrast bath. Take twr
tubs of water, one hot and one
cold. Put both feet in the tub o'
hot water for one minute; ther
stick them in the tub of coir’
water for one minute. Ten minute-
later, after five hot and five coir’
dlinkings, rub your feet briskly
with a towel. Theft-rub the “hurt-
ing” spots with your fingers, mas-
saging them gently for awhile
Bend your feet down and up from
the ankles and work in a “bye
bye” type of waving with the
toes. ,
- If your feet have developed
corns, bunions, calluses or spurs
you may get relief by padding thr
toes to relieve the pressure at that
point where the growth developer’
or have the shoe stretched over
that area. But don’t cut those
growths. If they must be trimmed
let your doctor do it. Paring a corr
is flirting with danger. Don’t do
it.
If the arch is your point of foot
complaint, you probably need me-
dical advice as to how to over-
come the aches and pains. Archer
do not fall by themselves; fallen
arches result from some injury
to one of the main bones of thr
foot. It may be that an arch sup-
port of the proper sort and spec-
ial exercises for your foot wiP
overcome the muscular weakness
that is causing pain in the arch
It may take X-ray to detect the
point of faulty weight distribu-
tion which shows up in the foot
and correct padding of the shoes
may be used to eliminate the
harmful stresses on the arch.
If your feet bum and itch at
the end of your siioDDing expe-
dition, it might be athlete’s foot.
Athlete's foot, which is a form of
-fngworm, usually starts up I
tween the toes with a scaliness apg

TSDA Giving Attention Toward
Better Planting Seed for Texas
The Texas State Department of
Agriculture is giving a lot of at-
tention toward better planting
seed for Texas througn better seed
law enforcement and through re-
vising some of the out-of-date
sponsible for
on alRPfant-
is a sizeable
as that pro-
duces about ~onc billion dollars
worth of crops yearly.
The department, in order to im-
prove the seed laws and their
enforcement, is following its usual
pattern of first getting the coun-
sel and cooperation of others.
The Texas Seed council, Texas
Seedmen’s association, and Texas
A&M college are a vital part of
this better seed program. Jointly
these three groups helped sponsor
i week’s “Short Course for Seed-
men” this past summer at Collegt
Station, The purpose was to bet-
ter acquaint the seed trade with
problems of seed laws and their
enforcement in Texas.
Within the department is being
formed a closer knit, more econo-
mical and eficient seed division,
instead of having a seed labora-
tory division and a seed certifies-
Mon division, these two have been
ombined into one called the Seed
Oivision.
The seed laboratories, one in
\ustin, and one in Lubbock, test-
‘‘d about 13,000 seed samples for
purity and germination this year
'or sellers of seed. When any
feed are sold in Texas, the label
attached must show this test. The
’abed or test is no better than the
-Pimple, and the sample is no bet-
'er than the sender. Thus, more
'tress is being placed on official
samples. This means samples
Irawn by inspectors of the depart-
ment instead of by sellers.
The seed certification deals with
growers who voluntarily meet
planting seed standards set up by
‘he State Seed and Plant board
md the department. By the Seed
-’ivision working with these vol-
untary growers of registered and
certified planting seed in seed law
mforeement, more than 28 field
"rops are now standardized from
vhich one million bags of first
quality seed with a cash value of
•ix million dollars will pass into
'he Texas channels of trade this
vear. Actual field inspections of
growing crops in this program
were made by the department on
about 3,000 individual farms this
season.
All this seed work is financed
largely by fees paid by those get-
ting the service. Heretofore, the
has not permitted the
have all these fees
enforce the seed
these fees are badly
needed for better seed law en-
forcement and it has been so rec-
ommendW by tl>e department.

'Shareand Care'Program on
For New 4-H Club Center
the sole of the feet and the sides
pf the toes burn and Rch. All
these symptoms may then disap-
pear. Like ringworm of the scalp,
vou think athlete’s foot has gone
'’way when the symptoms dis-
appear, but like ringworm, it can
suddenly flare up again, worse
than before. There may be large,
'aw, blistered areas of the feet
dong with severe swelling when
ithlete’s foot makes that return
mpearance. Then the skin scales
off and leaves a thickening of the
;kin beneath.
It often takes a long time to get
-id of athlete’s foot and sometim-
es the cure can make matters only
worse. The medicines must be
strong enough to kill the persist-
ent seeds of the plant life which
is plenty strong. Therefore, the
medicine itself may do harm and
for that reason you should have
the advice * of your doctor as to
what medicine is strohg enough
to kill the ringworm and yet not
too strong for your particular skin.
Athlete’s foot, by the way, is
the fifth most common skin dis-
ease during the winter.

COLLEGE STATION, (Spl.)—
Texas 4-H club members and oth-
er interested individuals, as well
as business concerns, are invited
to participate in the “Share and
Care” program for the National
4-H Club Center, said Floyd
I.ynch, state 4-H club leader.
A twelve and a half-acre camp-
us with five buildings and ade-
quate parking space for the cen-
ter were purchased last Febru-
ary at 6410 Connecticut Ave.,
Chevy Chase, Md., which is only
a 20-minutes drive from the
White House and IT. S. Capitol
building.
“The center will serve as nat-
ional assembly grounds for many
groups,” Lynch said. “Priority will
he given youth groups interested
in rural life; the annual National
4-H Club Camp heads the list,"
As planned, the center will have
lodging, dining and conference fa-
cilities for groups of up to 300
persons. It will operated the
year-round on a non-profit basis.
The center was purchased at a
cost of 8375,000. An additional
$290,000 h needed for repairs and
remodeling. And a scholarship
program is planned to help sup-
port the training programs. Lynch
points out that this adds up to a
million-dollar program.
“No government funds are avail-
able for the center,” he said.
“Contributions are needed now.
They should be sent to local coun-
ty Extension offices; to the Texas
Agricultural Extension Sprvice,
College Station; or to the National
4-H Club Foundation % Extension
Service, U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture, Washington 25, D. C.”
Local 4-H clubs are invited to
‘ Share and Care” for the center
by raising and contributing 10
cents or more per member. This
will bring in about $200,000 if the
82,000 clubs in the nation do this.
Checks or drafts should be made
out to National 4-H Club Foun-
dation. Lynch said contributors
should be sure to state that gifts
are for use of the National 4-H
Club Center.
