COMMERCE, Texas,— It is a!
mighty long ride from Poyen, Ark-
ansas to Commerce, Texas. But
A. D. Dowdle makes t’iie 500-mile
round trip or.ee each week in or- I
der to attend only two classes at1
East Texas State College in Com- I
nierce. At the end of the fail
semester, he will have traveled
more than 7.000 miles to do six
semester hours of work.
Dowdle is superintendent of Poy- |
High School. Shortly after 4
p. m. on Friday he catches a bus
to Malvern, Arkansas. He comes
to Texarkana by train and then
to Commerce by bus.
“It's a long tiresome trip.” the
friendly, middleaged schoolman
> said. "I arrive at East Texas State
I between 9 and 11 , p. m. Friday
| night. After a good night's sleep.
I I am refreshed and ready to at-
tend my first period class."
Dowdle is a native of Mabank,
Texas. After graduating from Ma-
bank High School, he enrolled at
East Texas State where he receiv-
ed a bachelor's degree in 1931. He
taught school in Texas for a few
years and then accepted a posi-
tion in Arkansas For the past 8
years Dowdle has been superin-'
tendent of Poyen High Schoo).
“I plan to receive my master's
degree in education from East
Texas State next May." the en-
ergetic educator reported.' "After
this semester I will lack only two
courses having my master's work
completed So that will mean more
traveling to Saturday classes in
the. spring.”
What is Dowdle going to do af-
ter graduation? Well, he Isn't sure
They are striving. Scout leaders ] just yet Perhaps lie will do some
say. for a future of peaceful llv- ‘-----
ing where every man is a brother
to every other man. regardless of
his race, creed or color. •

studies are under way at preson^^
which may lead to still further
advances in the control oT dental

most identical fluorine contant in
their city water supplies are being
use< in one experiment. Sodiuntjg
fluoride is being added to the sup-
ply of one city, and the results
in the reduction of dental caries
checked against that of the city
whose water supply is not treated,
“This experiment has been in
progress only 29 months and it
too early to establish a positive (
evaluation, but the results checiietj
so far hive demonstrated a decid- I
ed tendency to caries reduction in
the city where sodium fluoride is
added to their drinking water.”
