SONGS PROGRAM
Mrs. N. A. Cravens, county
chairman of the American Red
Cross War Drive Fund, reported
today that the quota for this
county, $5400, was almost reached,
with a few more days remaining
in the drive. Workers from all
parts of the county are reporting
generous response, but Mrs. Cra-
vens urged speed in making the
contributions. If no worker has yet
seen you, bring your contributions
in yourself.
Mrs. Cravens reported a letter
from Mrs. C. T. Graham, a former
resident of Silsbee, in which she
said: “Since this is National Red
Cross week I am sure the drive is
on in Silsbee. I gave to the house-
to-house caller yesterday, but we
also want to help a bit in our
home town.
“I am enclosing a check for $10
to apply on Silsbee’s quota. Hope
you go over big this year, for as I
see it, every American should be
glad to give this time. As you prob-
ably know, both of our boys are in
the service.”
Down at Loeb Mrs. Hale, the
community chairman, reports a
great deal of interest. The workers
in Loeb are Mrs. Pete Sharpe, Mrs.
A. L. Mason, Mrs. J. M. Byerly,
Mrs. Pete Willette, Mrs. A. Hop-
son and Mrs. E. J. Hale.
At the bottom of this page will
be found a partial list of con-
tributors from Silsbee. This list
shows a total of about $1800, with
$800 to go before the quota is com-
pleted. The names of additional
contributors will be given next
week. If you have already con-
tributed and your name is not
here this week, it will be printed
later. All names were not available
as the Bee went to press.
Remember that this drive is a
War Fund Drive, not just a mem-
bership contribution. Make your
donation a real contribution to
this great humanitarian institution.

Dr. J. Ralph, pastor of the First
Baptist Church of Beaumont,
spoke to a crowd of 70 men and
women at the Army-Navy Ban-
quet given by the "Fellowship
Class,” men’s Bible class, of the
Central Baptist Church Thursday
evening,'March 11.
The banquet was the climax of
a two months attendance contest,
and the class secretary reported an
enrollment of 91.
John K. Bower, class president,
served as master of ceremonies
and guided the affair in veteran
style to a successful close.
Following vocal selections, by
Mrs. T. C. Harwell, the class quar-
tet, composed of Rev. C. B. Bass,
F. M. Ray, T. C. Harwell and Jim
'Smith, and group singing, a short
talk by the class teacher, J. H.
Wallace was heard. Rev. Bass pre-
sented the speaker of the evening,
after guests and new members
were recognized and introduced.
Dr. Grant spoke on the com-
mand given to Chrisians in the
Book of Revelation, where the
Defense stamps instead of prizes
are the awards for good work
given the music pupils of Mrs. Rex
Worley. In her music studio a
large chart is fastened to the wall
and the names of her pupils are
arranged in columns with red,
white and blue thumb tacks placed
after each name. The tacks are in
a row, allowing room for ten pen-
nies to be slipped between them.
A penny is given for each good
lesson, and two pennies for ex-
cellent lessons. When ten pennies
are earned, they are removed
from the chart and a war stamp
is given ot the pupil in exchange.
The chart is the center of at-
traction in the studio and seems
to be a marvelous. incentive for
good work. Pupils having already
been awarded stamps are: Hazel
Rae Choate, Mary Grace Jones,
Jacqueline Wilson, Joan Bridges,
Pat Moody, Charles Bass, Janette
Donalson, Nan Daniel, Ceila Dom-
inguez, Medina Fay Eason, Billy
Bass, Glenn Fowler, Ann McNeil,

Using company land and every
minute of their spare time, thous-
ands of Santa Fe Railway em-
ployes this summer will be “Gar-
dening for Victory” as an addi-
tional contribution toward help-
ing to win the war.
E. J. Engel, president of the San-
ta Fe System, announces in the
March issue of the Santa Fe Mag-
azine that land along the company
right-of-way, wherever practical,
will be put at the disposal of em-
ployees who desire to set up Vic-
tory Gardens.
“Food that is eaten where it
grows saves many freight cars,”
Mr. Engel declares. “Victory Gar-
dens planted by Santa Fe em-
ployees will mean releasing cars
to carry food or war materials to
soldiers on the front line and sav-
ing of desperately needed farm
manpower for the growing and
harvesting of the big crops.”
To aid the railroad’s amateur
farmers, th emagazine carries a
complete guide for laying out
practical farm or city gardens.

The Student Military Cadet
Corps completed their organization
Monday, under the supervision of
Coach Don H. Hough.
Major Perry Brown of Beaumont
visited the school about a month
ago' and explained this military
set-up to Coach Hough. The High
school students were very inter-
ested in the move and eight of the
boys were selected to be instruc-
ted in the military corps duties.
These boys were Bill Kemp, Billy
Foster, Billy Mack Casey, Frank
Arnold, Dick Young, Earl Wig-
ington, F. A. Harvill and Emory
Reeves.
Monday the high school boys
were organized into squads, with
one of the above mentioned boys
as leader of each squad. All boys
joined the corps with two excep-
tions. There are 15 to 17 boys in
each squad. Bill Kemp, one of the
squad leaders, was out of school
this week on account of illness
and Floyd Arnold took charge of
his group.
The boys drill each school-day
morning from 10:40 o’clock to 11:15
o’clock and are under strict mili-
tary discipline. Their uniforms
consist of khaki with black tie.
Coach Hough is in constant touch
with the leaders and everything
is carried out military style. This
military training is not compul-
sory, but the student body was al-
most unanimous in wanting this
opportunity for training in their
school. This drilling counts a half
credit on their physical education
requirements.
