Productive Enterprises, Supple-
mentary Practices, and Improve-
ment Practices.
Productive enterprise means
the plant or animal project se-
lected by the student to give
him skill in production and all
phases of management. Supple-
mentary practices are those jobs
or activities designed to give the
student skills beyond that of his
project program. Improvement
practices are those jobs the stu-
dent undertakes to improve the
value of his parents’ property.
There are one hundred and
forty-seven boys currently en-
rolled in vocational agriculture,
and most of them have already
begun their project program
for the year. The department
plans to recognize each student
publicly during the year for the
efforts he has put forth in the
achievement of his goals.

was an evident hit with the
audience, first to last.
The Junior High Girls Chorus,

Church, directed by Roger Cope-

The beautiful cantata, from
the pen of John W. Peterson,
famed composer of sacred music
tells the thrilling story of God’s
intervention into human his-
tory when he humbled himself
and “took the form of man—
born of the lowliest birth of all—■
on the most glorious night the
world has ever known.” The
musical sacred message was well
attended.
Embraced by the cantata
were four solos and numerous
choruses by the large choir. Solo-

A 200 bed “Packaged Disaster Hospital’’ arrived in
Ennis today.
The unit is being stored in the basement of the Ennis
Municipal Hospital.
The “Packaged Disaster Hospital’’ is the result of con-
ferencesbetween Mrs. Aline Prestidge, administrator at
Ennis Municipal Hospital, and officials of the Texas State
Department of Health, and U. S. Public Health regarding
disaster planning for community hospitals.
The purpose of the conferences was to explore how
existing facilities and medical staff could best be utilized
' in time of flood, tornado, or other disaster condition.

The discussion culminated in
a cooperative agreement be-
tween the 'State Department of
Health, the Public Health Ser-
vice, and the local hospital
whereby resources are made
available to selected hospitals
for use when local facilities must
be expanded.
The unit contains equipment
to set up a complete 200 bed hos-
pital, including operating rooms,
wards, x-ray, laboratory, phar-
macy, and supplies enough for
thirty days.
When disaster strikes, the hos-
pital can use the packaged unit
either to expand its own faciliti-
es or to set up an emergency
satellite in a structure such as a
church, school, etc.
Short-lived preparations in-
cluded in the disaster package
will be used by the hospital,
which will continue its own pro-
curement program, thus replen-
ishing the supply in the emer-
gency stockpile. The health
mobilization planners decided
not only to merge the emergency
units with existing hospitals, but
to provide all hospitals with a
thirty-day supply of critical
medical items for disaster use in
an “inventory expansion pro-
gram”.
Forrest Stokes of the U. S.
Public Health Service and Jack
Todd of the Texas State Depart-
ment of Helth were in Ennis to-
day supervising the unloading of
the unit.

TODAY’S CHUCKLES
A small boy was watching the
escalator handrail intently.
“Something wrong?” asked a
clerk.
“Nope,” replied the lad.
“Just waiting for my chewing
gum to come back.”
Light snow fell in the Texas
Panhandle early this morning
and 60 mph winds whipped far
West Texas regions. Despite the
flurry of bad weather—howev-
er, an icy storm lost its grip and
Texas travel is returning to
normal.
The El Paso area,, and all of
the country West of the Pecos
River, remain under travelers
warnings because of a lingering
glaze of ice on ’highways.
Temperatures at daybreak be-
gan a climb into the high 40 s
and the Weather Bureau said
most of the snow and ice ac-
cumulated by five days of bitter
weather would disappear.
The respite—however is to
be short lived. Another cold
front already has touched the
northern reaches of the Texas
Panhandle and is expected to
bring new wintry woes to much
of the state around mid-week.
IInterstate 10 was closed early
today on both sides of El Paso.
Road conditions did not worsen
during the night, however, as
temperatures around El Paso
hovered just above the freezing
mark.

SAIGON—American planes
have pounded the heartland of
North Vietnam for the fifth day
in a row. The U-S command did
not announce immediately de-
tails of today’s raids but reports

Meanwhile, the command an-

Optimists Proud
Of Float Part in
Tourney of Roses
Announcement was made to-
day by President Layne Ballard
of the Optimist Club of Eninis,
that the local group would be
represented in the famed Tourn-
ament of Roses Parade on New
Year’s Day. Cooperating w i t h
the international organization
Ennis Optimists will proudly
present to the one and a half
million who personally view the
spectacular event in Pasadena,
Calif., and to an estimated 100,-
000,000 TV viewers, a gigantic
float that is 17 feet high, 20 feet
wide, and 55 feet long. It’s uni-
que construction a n d subject
matter will be in keeping with
the parade theme this year—
“Wonderful World of Adven-
ture,” and will dramatically tell
the story of Optimists’ service to
youth.
The actual construction of the
Optimist flbat, according to
President Ballard began in early
September and as none but real
flowers may be used—the actual
placing of the blossoms must be
done in the final forty - eight
hours ahead of January 1. Over
300,000 flowers, mostly chrysan-
themums) will be used, with the
color of each matching the im-
plied color of the designers’
conception.
Hundreds of organizations
and companies try—but only six-
ty floats are allowed to enter
the extravaganza so it is un-
derstandable why the Optimists
are most proud that the plans
for their organizations’ entry
passed the rigid inspection -of
the Pasadena float committee.
President Ballard said the
float designs are closely guard-
ed secrets almost up to parade
time but—all reports from those
who have viewed the scale mod-
el, indicate that the Optimist
entry will be one of the most
outstanding. All that could be
divulged was that the smallest
part of the whole float was to
be a green frog—six feet tall—
and that three motorized vehic-
les move independently will be
necessary to move the
Optimist float along the
parade route down Pasadena’s
Colorado Blvd. Their movements
must be coordinated by walkie-
talkie units in the hands of the
three drivers.
The Ennis Optimists j o i n
nearly 100,000 fellow Optimists
throughout the US and Canada
in inviting the public to view
The Tournament of Roses
Parade and trust they enjoy the
efforts of the 2,550 clubs a n d
their members which will make
possible the participation of Op-
timist International.
