IF HALLOWE’EN BOOS AND
DARK NIGHTS SCARE YOU
PONT READ THIS STORY
If dark nights scare you and
if your knees knock at the least
little old Hallowe’en boo, take it
from the Freestone High School
juniors and seniors, Freestone’s
high school gymnasium is no place
for you Thursday and Friday
nights.
However, if your heart is good
enough to Btand a couple of thou-
sand volts and if you are cocky
enough to feel like taking on
Hitler single handed, Freestone
has a big welcome mat out for
you those nights.
Even if you aren’t so hardy
nor so self-confident drop by the
Freestone gym one of those nights
about 7:00 o’clock and take a look
at the annual Hallowe’en carnival
which is sponsored by the school.
“Spooks, fun, and a promising
good time for all’’ we are told
is the menu for both nights, but
what that includes only the Free-
stone juniors and seniors know.
And they ought to—.they are do-
ing most of the work in prepara-
tion for the show.
E. B. HAM RETURNED
MONDAY FROM NATIONAL
ENBALME&S CONVENTION
E. B, Ham, local funeral direc-
tor, returned Monday of this
week from attending a national
coi vention in San Francisco,
Calif., where the National Con-
ference of Embalming Boards of
the United States, Inc., and the
National Funeral Directors As-
sociation met in joint session.
There were forty funeral di-
rectors from Texas who attended
the convenuBh, and when the ses-
sion was closed it was discoveded
that Texas had received the honor
of having had delegates elected
to fill each office open at this
time. George A. Brewer of Dallas
was elected president of the Na-
tional Funeral Directors’ Associa-
tion, J. C. Orr of Ferris was elect-
ed to the Board of Governors ot
the National Funeral Directors'
Association and Charles B. Cook
of Austin was elected vice presi-
dent of the National Conference
of Embalming Boards of the
United States, Inc.

Didn’t we Bay a long time ago
that we were going to the Prison
Rodeo? Well, we did it, And we’ll
start in by saying right now thail
we didn’t like it as well as the
Teague rodeos* Why? Well, we’ll
tell you . . . we just like to see
people that we know ride and
rope . . . and furthermore there
weren’t any square dance or
ladies’ races.

WPA SCHOOL LUNCHROOM
TO BE OPENED NOV. 11
Mrs. Marcie Cox, county super-
WPA
visor of WPA school lunchrooms,
stated Wednesday that the lunch-
room in the O. M. Roberts school
in Teague should be ready for
use by Nov. 11.
The matron, employed by WPA
labor, began work this week, but
before the facility can be put into
full operation, more equipment is
needed.
The primary necessities are a
cabinet, a hot plate and a sink.
If anyone has any of these arti-
cles that they would donate or

But seriously speaking . . . the
pcison rodeo is noted for being
the fastest rodeo in the world, and
it doubtless earns tJie title. The
riders are sent into the arena
so close together that half the
time we couldn’t teTI which man
was getting thrown. And when
they did close an event these were
so many wild horses and dis-
mounted riders in the arena, it
was a toss up as to whether any-
one would get out alive.

We felt right at home when
the announcer said that the pick-
up men for the afternoon Would
be Mano Miles and Cam Gunter,
of Mexia. We wanted to stand
up and cheer, but decided that we
had best not. We decided then
and there Teague must be pretty
good, because we have seen Mano
and Cam pick-up hlere for many
a rodeo.
1-m
We had heard so much about
Cockle-bur and about how long he
had been visiting Warden Waid
and his little group, that we were
rather disappointed that he didn’t
seem a little more decrepit. Like
unto the writer in Time, we en-
joyed Snuffy Garrett’s clowning .
. just, as we did when we saw
the rodeo about four years ago
. . . and just as we will about
200 years from now if Snuffy
and I are both living and they
are still having prison rodeos . .
. if you see what we mean.

If we could have brought just
one little sorrel colt with a flaxen
mane and tail home with us . . .
just one!

The football game last Friday
evening was rather a fluke, but
we did enjoy watching the two
bands perform. Groesbeck has a
fine band, and their “Beating
Heart” drill was really beautiful.
Marching onto the field in their
red and white uniforms the band
looked like a big valentine. We
get a kick out of watching Eugene
Gauntt play the bass drum for
the Teague Band, but we do wish
that Dub would give him two
drum Bticks (or whatever they
are) so that he could do a little
fancy playing likeunto Groesbeck.
1-m
If we were more of a football
prognosticator, we would twit P.
J. Bounds a little for his guess
on the football score here last
week . . . but since we miss them
‘way yonder” more than he did,
we won’t.

We hope that you people who
don’t like to read what we write
about motion pictures will ignore
this, «*) doubtless you will, for
we just must say this: we would
like to moider Vivien Leigh . .

what right has she got to marry
Laurence Olivier? We just saw
“Pride and Prejudice” for the
second time the other day and
we have decided that without
doubt Mr. Olivier is the best
actor that we have ever seen.
And if that isn’t acting ... we
still like it.

Just offhand, if you want to
see a good show, go to the Star
Sunday and see “Dance, Girl,
Dance.” Lucille Ball has always
been a good supporting star, but
we believe that this is going to
be her chance to make a lot of
enemies by really acting a good
nasty role. The typical blond that
always gets her man and makes
all the other gals green with
envy. Phooie.
