Senior New*
Elsie Lee Emmons visited in Cor-
sicans during the holidays.
The seniors regret that Joe Fred
Fischer has heen absent from his
class as well as his important place
on the football teum. Not withstand-
ing the suffering he had recently un-
dergone he was able and eager to
attend the game Friday night. Joe
still wonders what the other fellow
looks like. Hurry and come back to
school, Joe. We miss you.
Artie Kate Steelman was absent
from school due to illness.
Hester Day spent the week-end at
Blount.
Evelyn Edwards came to school
with a big face last Thursday but it
wasn't because of arrogance—only
an abscessed tooth.
Jack Robinson visited in Streetman
during the holidays.

Sportsmanship
One of our greatest aims in foot-
ball as in every other activity of our
school is always to be known as
good sportsmen. A group of boys and
girls who posseess the ability and
enthusiasm to win and the will-pow-
er to accomplish it by means of fair,
clean play, will leave a lasting and
satisfactory impression upon the
spectators.
In the observation of individuals
there are two distinct types of vic-
tors: Those who obtain a victory
which satisfies a savage desire to
brutally contact the opponent in un
uncivilized manner of conflict and
the admirable quality of the player
who attacks his opponent with a
calm, cool, determination for victory
based on fairness and in keeping
with rules and regulations of the
game.
We have attained this standard
in the past. Let each of us try to
maintain it in the future.

Assembly
The Rev. W. R. Miller led the de-
votional exercises at the assembly
period Monday morning. The topic
for his discussion is found in Lamen-
tations 3: 27. “It is good for a man
that he bare the yoke in his youth.”
A very interesting and impressive
talk followed.
We welcome all of the ministers
of the town at any or every assembly. i

Fourth Grade
We are learning to make reports
from our volume set of the “New
Wonder World Book."
We colored—November calendars
in art cless. Doris Marie had the
best calendar so we put it up for the
room calendar.
In Language we played a game to
learn the use of: “it is she;" “it is he"
and “it’s I.” We find it very hard
to use these words.
Leta Nell Steger is reporter for
this week.

RESOLUTIONS OF
RESPECT ON DEATH
OF E. R. GLAZENER
To the Worshipful Master, Wardens
and Brethren of Fairfield Lodge,
No. 103, A. F. & A. M.:
President Urges
Public Answer
Red Cross Appeal
We your committee appointed to
draft resolutions of respect on the
dpath of Brother E. R. Glazener, re-
port as follows: ,
Whereas, it has pleased the All-
wise Creator to call from earthly la-
bor Brother E. R. Glazener, therefore
be it
Resolved by Fairfield Lodge No.
103 A. F. & A. M., that in the death
of Brother E. R. Glazener our Coun-
ty has lost one of its most valued
and honored citizens and our Lodge
a most worthy member. He was a
man of strict honor and integrity,
and a true friend. He put his trust
in God; he lived in hope. May all his
worthy deeds live and prosper for
good as the hastening years go by,
and may it be that he has gathered
to his soul those immortal joys, the
brightness of which the untold years
of eternity never dim. His life was
an inspiration to all that knew him.
Whereas, we, as citizens and fellow
lodge members, revere the memory
of his strong courage and patriotic
virtues, and mourn his passing, and
Whereas, we mourn with his rela-
tives and loved ones who, in sweet
patience and loving kindness, tender-
ly cared for him in his last illness;
Therefore, be it Resolved, by this
Lodge that we, its members express
publicly our united gratitude for the
contribution which Brother Glazener
made to good citizenship and to Ma-
sonry and for his devotion for the
ideals for which Masonry stands;
and
Be it further Resolved, that a copy
of these resolutions be spread upon
the minutes of this Lodge, a copy
furnished the family, and a copy fur-
nished the Fairfield Recorder for
publication.

Eagles Lose 1 alubale Player
The Eagles lost a very valuable
player last week when Joe Fred
Fischer, first string quarter-back,
was injured in practice. Joe Fred
suffered a broken jaw when he made
a tackle.
Joe Fred will not play any more
football for. Fairfield High School as
he graduates next May. He has been
very important to the Eagles all sea-
son and has called some fine games.
The Eagles felt the loss of him when
they Played Wortham Friday. The
game ended in a 6-6 tie.
The American people rightly look
upon the American Red Cross as
their great national relief agency
whenever and wherever disaster
gtrikes. They know that when their
sympathetic instincts are aroused by
the human suffering which follows
in the wake of catastrophe it is the
Red Cross, representing all of the
people, which speeds practical, sym-
pathetis relief to the families of the
stricken community. We have had
very recent evidence of that in the
wake of the tragic hurricane which
devastated New England and parts
of New York.
Immediately after that disaster
the various Federal agencies, work
ing in close cooperation with state
and municipal officers and with the
Red Cross, were able to be of tre-
mendous service in their respective
fields to the affiliated communities,
and are continuing their activities.
In order that we may continue to
rely upon this great institution of
mercy to thus serve suffering hu-
manity in our name, we must all do
our part when the Red Cross calls
upon us. Each year there seem to be
ever increasing demands for Red
Cross service, both at home and
abroad. We have learned through the
years that these calls are never in
vain.
Once each year, during the period
between Armistice Day and Thanks-
giving, the Red Cross appeals to all
of our people to share in its work for
the coming year through individual
memberships. The memberships. The
membership dues paid at that time
make possible its continyed service—
local, national and international. I
urge most earnestly that this appeal
be answered by our people every-
where.

CASE OF MOSAIC LAW
OR GOLDEN RULE
From The Dallas News
I wish to make a few comments in
leply ot Mr. Landrum's Thinking
Out Loud, Oct. 30. The writer desires
no controversy with Mr. Landrum
over the Commandments or pensions.
But, as I see it, the trouble the chil-
dren have in obeying the injunction,
"Honor thy father and thy mother,”
by providing for them is, that many
of the children are not able to provide
for themselves. Hence, it is impossi-
ble for them to obey this particular
command of Moses. Of course, many
would not if they were able. So, will
Mr. Landrum kindly suggest what is
to be done under such circum-
stances ?
Mr. Landrum states that it is bad
public policy to pay everybody over
65 years of age a pension, as bad as
it would be to pay it to every child
under 10 years of age. I quote his
closing remarks: “Why must we be
so generous with vote bearing ‘Gim-
mycrats’ who do not really need any-
thing. The thing is not far fram
scandalous. It goes to the very mo-
rals of democracy.”
Well put, Mr. Landrum. To pen-
sion all, rich and poor alike, is ac-
cording to, not Moses’ law, but Jesus
Chirst’s Golden Rule. Also, Christ
made some sort of statement about
taking from them that have. Christ,
of course, was speaking of spiritual
things. But the writer believes that
it should apply to material wealth as
well as spiritual, at least enough to
make everybody concerned tax con-
scious.
And why not? Or why should a
person that has economized, saved
and denied himself of luxuries be
taxed to support someone who has
been in luxury and squandered his
all. Of course, all the “have lots” are
not in this class, but a great many
of them are!
The writer chooses the Golden Rule
and Christ’s law in preference to the
law of Moses. And he is a bit proud
of his Democracy. Also, as Mr. Lan-
drum suggests that Mr. O’Daniel
read up on Moses’ law, the writer
suggests thta Mr. Landrum read up
on the Golden Rule, the law of the
Savior of the world—Jesus Christ.
