3,000 local clubs and the National
Kid’s Day Foundation, Inc., are
sponsoring the observance which
will be devoted to the problems oi
underprivileged boys and girls ana
to attartc public attention to the
accomplishments of youth. Hun-
dreds of clubs have already com-
pleted plans for their local pro-
grams, according to reports ar-
riving at the general office.
“The problem of underpriveleged
children,” commented Peterson, “is
a local one and must be solved on
a community basis. Problems of
both the underprivileged and the
juvenile delinquent are tied toge-
ther and in meeting the former we
can reduce the dangers of the lat-
ter. Through National Kid’s Day,
Kiwanis hope to rally all of the
forces concerned with youth in the
various communities. It is grati-
fying to read of clubs everywhere
that are launching their local pro-
grams . ”

and watery eyes. If the youngster
reads too closely or too far away
from the face, that situation may
also be significant of trouble.
“No child likes wearing glasses,
nevertheless, it is the obligation of
those responsible for the future of
•young folks to have their eyes ex-
j amined by a reputable specialist ii
there is a suspicion that normal
vision does not exist. It is muct
better for a child to wear glasses
for a few years during early school
life than to have permanently de-
fective vision in later life,” he de-
clared.
Dr. Cox said that neglect of the
eyes is by no means limited to the
child. Many older persons, some
through vanity, indifference or
carelessness, fail to give proper at-
tention to the care of their eyes,
and penalities, he warned, are
bound to occur for such inexcus-
able negligence.
“The eyes of any person, wheth-
er young, middle-aged, or older, re-
present one of the most priceless
of bodily possessions,” the state
health officer asserted. “To take
care of them promptly and proper-
ly is a responsibility which never
should be sidestepped.”

were off 13 per cent from Septem-

Contrary to the pattern followed
by durable goods store sales in the
month of September, nondurable
goods sales stepped up 15 per cent
from August. This level was nine

Texas retail sales rose six per
sent from August to September to
an estimated $449,000,000, a one-
per-cent decline from September a
year ago, the University of Texas
Bureau of Business Research re-
ports.
Despite a three-per-cent slide
from the previous month, Septem-
ber sales of durable goods were
ahead of the like month in 1948.
With the exception of a seven
and five per cent gain over in Au-
gust in jewelry and furniture and
household -stores, all types of the
durable goods stores contributed to
the decrease.
Farm implement dealers sales
fell nine per cent from August;
hardware, five per cent; motor ve-
the government and know it is
deductable from other VA pay-
ments to which they may be en-
titled, the agency said.
Some 600,000 veterans are cur-
rently indebted to VA for a total
of about 70 million dollars. The big
part of this amount constitutes
overpayments on subsistence al-
lowances for veterans taking edu-
cational courese or training under
the GI Bill.
Other types of indebtedness are
overpayments on pension, com-
pensation or deadjustsment al-
lowances, and losses made good to
lenders on defaulted GI loans.
A considerable number of vet-
erans are now repaying their var-
ious debts by having deductions
from their monthly checks. When
the overpayment is wiped out, as
it may be by the dividend deduc-
tions, there will be no further
monthly withholding.
clothing stores turned in a 32-per-
cent climb and shoe stores re-
gistered an increase of 31 per cent.
Women’s specialty and family
clothing store sales were up 26 per
cent.
Department store sales advanced
14 per cent over August; office,
shoe and school supply sales, 11
per cent, general merchandise, 10
per cent; and country general
stores, seven per cent.
On the other hand, filling sta-
tions sales decreased seven per
cent from August to last month,
and sales of eating and drinking
establishments slipped fractionally.
In comparison with last year, in-
stations, five per cent; country
general stores, three per centqpay

Professor Turns
Disc Jockey
Do you oldtimers remember the
tanalizing tunes of yesteryear such:
as Bessie Smith, the red-hot mama
singing “Aggravatin’ Papa, Don’t-
cha Try to Two-Time Me” or
Blanche Ring singing an old 1908
favorite “Yip I Adee I Ayex”? Or
how about the tunefu llistening
from Little Jack Little and some
throaty warbling of Panhandle -
bred Vernon Dalhart?
If you remember songs and ar-
tists such as these, then you will
have a chance soon to be taken
back to those days and enjoy once
again music which has memories.
If you haven’t heard them, then
you are in store for a treat.
Ready to bring these oldtimers is
Dr. Walter Juniper, Dean at the
West Texas State College in Can-
von, who starts his “Jukebox oi
Yesteryear” on .radio station
KGNC, Amarillo, Sunday after-
noon, November 6 at 3 o’clock.
He will be heard at that time each
week.
Dr. Juniper, Latin professor and
academic leader turned disc-jockey
is not new at the game of playing
old records for radio audiences. He
started collecting rare records as
a hobby while assistant dean of
Baylor College. He played them for
his friends and soon was requested
to go on the air with them. His
program proved so popular that
he moved from the Baylor campus
station to Station WACO and ar-
ried on his musical meanderings
for the papa’s and mama’s of stu-
dents who had spread the word of
the jukebox professor.
His program has been publicized
coast to coast and now, starting on
Nov. 6, Panhandlers will hear the,
unsual program.
