These 12 East Side boys were honored guests at the Ringling Brothers
circus in New York recently—and for a good reason. Through a mistake
they were given 900 tickets supposed to go to a charity organization, and
planned to profit thereby. When they found out the tickets were to go to
orphans they promptly returned all 900 tickets. As a result they were
admitted free of charge to the big top.

The speaker of the evening was
Superintendent Lee Johnson of the
Wink schools. His subject was Moth-
ers Day—it’s origin, meaning and in-
terpretation. In introducing Super-
intendent Johnson, Mrs. Cox com-
plimented him on his work in the
Wink scho'ols and his willingness to
at all times serve any and everyone
, in the community.
I Other numbers on the varied pro-
gram were a violin solo by Mrs. Ray
Parker, accompanied by Mrs. Nelson

Mother,” by Miss Mildred Bell, ac-
companied by Mrs. Wilson at the
piano.
The guest of honor was Mrs. Guz-
zell Furse. In introducing Mrs.
Furse, Mrs. Cox spoke of the inter-
esting and varied life she had en-
joyed in teaching school, studying
medicine and traveling— besides be-
ing a wonderful mother. Mrs. Furse
is the mother of Mrs. Eva Ball, a
Wink faculty member and Mr. Lee
Furse, an engineer for the Humble
Oil Company.
In her response to Mrs. Cox’s in-
troduction, Mrs. Furse said it was
a great privilege for her to com-
pare the educational facilities avail-
able to children in the public
schools of today with those of fifty
years ago.

which has just released the results
of its investigations.
Testing Laboratories
“These tests were made by Pitts-
burgh Testing Laboratory in compe-
tition with tires of the same price
and also premium priced tires made
by five other companies,” declares
Mr. Alberts. “At the conclusion of
the tests, believed to be the most
severe and exhaustive ever made on
a new tire, Pittsburgh Testing Lab-
oratory stated that no other tire,
even those listed up to 70 per cent
higher in price, equalled the new
tire in resistance to skid.
“They also stated that the new
tire averaged 19 per cent more non-
skid miles than any other tire in its
own price range.
“A senior engineer and three jun-
ior engineers from Pittsburgh Test-
ing Laboratory supervised every de-
tail of these tests. In order to make
the evidence more conclusive on the
subject than any data yet produced,
special apparatus to accurately de-
termine resistance to skid was de-
veloped.”

Coach Bull Katrola will show his
1939 Yellow Jackets to the football
fans of Kermit in a spring practice
game Monday night under the lights
at Walton Field, beginning at 8:30
o’clock. Opponents of the ’Jackets
will be a team composed of exes and
local players.
In order to give the fans a thor-
ough demonstration of what to ex-
pect when the season begins in the
Fall, Katrola proposes to take the
lid off Monday night and let the
lads show their wares. They will use
an assortment of about twenty plays
he said; plays they’ve learned dur-
ing the past three weeks.
Assisted by Buck Howell, Katrola
has been working with the squad in
spring training during the past three
weeks from 7 to 8:30 a. m. each
morning. “The boys are in pretty
good shape,” Katrola said, “and I
look for them to stage an interest-
ing show. They’ve learned rapidly
and have showed an eagerness and
willingness that speaks well for
their record this Fall.”
The probable starting lineup of,
the ’Jackets will be: Pollard and
Roark, ends; Wade and Gober,
tackles; Watson and Kennedy,
guards; Baker, center; Myers, Fien-
sy, Allgood, Clifton and West, backs.
Reserves will be Thorpe, Distler and
Cavett, ends; Foster and Katrola,
tackles; Giggers and Pittman,
guards and Lybrand, McCargo and
Simmons, backs.
The exes will be managed by Wat-
tie Watson and Heavy Slaughter.
Some of the players on the ex squad
will be Prescott, Gonce, Odp Eaton,
Hank Kaley, Gerald Alexander,
Raymond Yates and McKee.
There will be no admission charge.
Coach Katrola extended an invita-
tion to everyone to come out and
see what the boys look like.
