EASTER PARADE REVIEWED—
Corrine Wheeler wore Easter togs,
Which made her look very fine,
We guessed her age to be
Not more than thirty-nine.
Mattie McAdams was also togged
She was a lovely creature,
She seemed to be so thrilled,
She didn’t listen to the preacher.
Heden Wade’s hat was trimmed
With lovely persimmon blossoms,
You know they are the kind that
Are preferred by all the o’possums.
Irene Roach is still the same,
She doesn’t dress up to date
She wore the same hat and dress
That she wore back in fifty-eight.

A meeting of interested citizens
was held Thursday to discuss ways
and means of installing lights for
the Junior League baseball games.
A turn-key job can be had for
$2700 and sponsors of the lighted
field have $1400 on hand leaving a
balance needed of $1300.
Thirteen hundred dollars is a lot
of money but not an impossible
amount. If every citizen in the .
community would make a donation
the sum could be raised in a short
time. However, since all will not
give, it is necesary to ask the gen-
erous ones to contribute what they
can toward the amount needed.
Donations may be left at the '
State National Bank in Groom, or
handed to Joe Blakeney, Carey
McAdams, Dr. Bob Clayton, Bill
Algoe, or mailed to the bank.

The favorite motto of 'Dr. John
Watson, better known by his pen
name of Ian Maclaren, is said to
have been this: “Be kind, for
every one you meet is fighting a
hard battle.”
If all parents realized this, there
would be less “do’s and don’ts.”
A child’s problems are small to a
parent, but they are very real and
large to a child. It is just as hard
for a child to decide how best to
spend that shiny new quarter as it
is for the parents to, allocate the
family income.
If all teachers understood it there
would be less “I hate school!”
A problem of simple addition is
just as tough for the beginner as
the binomial? theorem is to the stu-
dent of college algebra. Maybe
tougher.
If all ministers realized it, there
would be less attempts to “un-
screw the unscrutable" and more
effort to solve the problems of day-
to-day living. Congregations are
made up of hungry people. People
who are hungry for comfort, who
are starved for the “peace that
passeth understanding.” A loved
one is ill in mind or body; a son
is walking the primrose path; a
