“Glad- we ran into you, Judge. I was just
tryin’ to set Helen straight on this business
about sugar. I wish you’d tell her what you
told me last night down at lodge.”
“Glad to, Jim. I told him, Helen, that
there’s not a single bit of truth to the
rumor that the distillers use sugar in
making whiskey. They make it exclusively
from grain. Only bootleggers use sugar to
make whiskey. I read an article in the
paper just last week that goes to prove
Addie Bell Cravey, one of our
Silsbee seniors, has quit. We were
sorry to hear this, and we will miss
you, Addie Bell.
Would you like to see the be-
ginning of a beautiful flower bed?
The home-making girls are proud-
ly showing off the results of their
farm-work.
The school students are putting
on a Red Cross Drive. Every room
which raises an average of one
dollar per person gets a holiday.
What say, seniors? Let’s get to
work'
SOPHOMORE NEW
Well, another six weeks is gone
and everyone seems pretty cheer-
ful, so the grades must be fair.
The sophomores had a dance
Saturday night in the gym.
Jean and “Chivy” are still going
strong. He called her twice last
week from Orange.
All the boys certainly look nice
in their uniforms. It seems to add
something to the ol’ school that
wasn’t here before.

one do his full share?
How is it possible to make so
much power and meet so many
taxes at the same time? Because
of sound business methods and
long experience — because men,
women and management worked
together as a team.
But while we’re doing all this,

a Federal court testified to the fact that
another bootlegger, also on trial, had
bought a million pounds of sugar a few
years ago.
“As a matter of fact, Helen, no distiller
is making whiskey today and hasn’t for
many months. All distillers are working
night and day producing war alcohol for the
government. And they make every drop of
it exclusively from grain, too.”

Dorothy had a slumber party
Friday night. Four of them slept
in one room and nine slept in
the other. Everything was very
quiet except for one thing—Betsy
snored.
Jean Fowler and a friend were
over this week end. June Fowler
and Jean McNeil were pleased.
Jean Fowler and Toots couldn’t
make up their minds about the boy
from Orange. I still don’t know
which one went with him.
Katie was with J. W. Friday
night. Nice work for both of them.
Tully and Bill seemed to be hav-
ing an argument about the Navy
and Marines. Did you boys ever
get the matter straightened out?
There was a dance the other
night for B. O. The floor was so
slick that very few could dance.
Billy and Sarah seem to be hit-
ting it off pretty good. Wonder if
it’ll work?
Frank Arnold had a date with
an ex-senior, Exa Goodwin. Nice
work, son.
Jean, June, Jean and Pat were
four giggling girls Saturday night.
Everything was just too, too funny.
Helen was with Gene and Bill
Saturday night. Wonder who was
with whom?

CONTRIBUTIONS . . .
This is Red Cross week and sev-
eral campaigns are underway in
order to collect money for this
great cause. Each class has had a
class meeting and discussed the
campaign. Talk won’t get us any-
where. Everyone mut act by doing
his part. The campaign ends Fri-
day, so let’s all pitch in, so we can
say we helped.

many forests are now managed so that they will yield successive crops
without destruction of the woods.
Already we produce paper, rayon, chemicals, plastics, textiles, and
insulatioa from our forests. These are only a pre-view of things to
come.
Great industries can be built on the utilization in new forms of
inexpensive, abundant wood, because Trees are a Crop. With the
kind of help nature is now receiving through the scientific manage-
ment of the forest industries, the future of these new industries is

age concerned, eh, Ouida?
O.K., Sue, we think yoqualify!
There’s no more news; and no

This situation isn’t covered by
Army regulations. But we’re
betting that Butch will find a
way to handle it!
In fact, we electric companies
know just how he feels. We have
the same problem. Right now,
we’re being called on to balance
good service and low, regulated
rates against fast-climbing costs
and tremendously increased
•demands for electric power.
We’re doing it, too. Filling
all our war orders. Giving
America far more power than
all the Axis countries combined.
Pushing production up and up.
. .. And besides that, we’re bal-
ancing a big plate of taxes.
Don’t get us wrong. We know
the heed of wartime taxes. We’re
proud that business-managed
electric companies paid $620,-
000,000 in taxes last year. That
■was 23c out of every dollar you
paid us — 8c to local and state
governments — 15c to the fed-
eral government — enough to
outfit 1,687,762 buck privates.

Jo Helen’s cousin was over this
week end. She was with Parr
Fowler.
Sherrill had a date with Lurlene
Bradshaw Saturday night and
Billy was with Sarah.
George and Johnnie seem to be
dancing together often. Something
new must be taking place.
Eloise S. seemed to have some
misunderstanding Friday night
with some of the boys. Everything
is all fright now, I hope.
Mae, Betty and Billy were all
one at Sarah’s studying. Yes, I said
“studying.”
I think Katy has changed her
mind about being a “man hater.”
She should.
Yours truly,

MARCH 17th ,
March 17th is the day we cele-
brate the great life of Saint Pat-
rick. Although he is the patron
Saint of Ireland, he was born in
Scotland. Patrick lived an adven-
turous and romantic life. He be-
came a great Christian and was
known as the one who found Ire-
land all heathen and left it all
Christian.
Many legends grew up about the
name of this popular saint. Now,
all over the world, wherever the
Irish have penetrated, March 17th
is celebrated as Saint Patrick’s
Day. ,
