By Mrs. J. B. Hackworth
McDADE, March 6—McDade had
a great loss in the burning of the
school building, Thursday evening.
It was a two story brick structure
and was built in 1910. The fire
was discovered about 8:00 p. m. and
the first ones on the ground, found
the stairway burning. It had begun
in a closet under the stairs, where
all the supplies were kept, such as
brooms, floor sweep and oil and
also a closet where the food for the
lunch room was stored. Mr. Chaney
lost his typewriter which was in his
class room, and many articles which
belonged to the teachers and pupils
were burned. It was covered with
$5,000.00 insurance, while the old
building cost about $8,000.00.
School will begin Wednesday in the
Canning plant building and some of
the churches. Messrs. R. L. Chaney,
Fred Haynie, and Oscar Goerlitz
were in Temple, Friday to buy seats
for these places for the students. A
building will be erected on the same
location, beginning as soon as possi-
ble. The school board, faculty, and
students wish to thank the churches
of McDade, the directors of the can-
ning plant and the surrounding com-
munities for their help, their offers
of help, for making it possible to
continue our school term, which we
hope to begin on March 5th.
Mr. Alfred Kastner has purchased
a 1941 Chevrolet truck during the
week. He is getting ready for these
cantaloupes, watermelons and sweet
potatoes that will be planted in the
next few weeks, if the weather will
permit.

OAK HILL NEWS
By Mrs. Edgar Owen
OAK HILL, March 3 — Our seed
we put in the garden are coming up
nicely, and this is a fine morning
for gardening, so we must be at it
again.
The sick folks are all improving
and we noted the children who had
been ill trooping back to school this
morning.
Mr. and Mrs. Max Barton of Aus-
tin spent the week-end with their
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jess Duncan,

Sunday.
Joenel Hancock was in Lockhart
Saturday, where she played ball with
the Bastrop girl’s team.
Evelyn Cottle spent the week-end
at home. She is still employed in
Bastrop.
I have heard a lot about the vari-
ous Governors of Texas, but never
knew or heard of one being like the
one we have now. That broadcast of
Sunday, February 23, was wonder-
ful, and if it bears fruit, as the ap-
peal for the orphans did last Christ-
mas, a lot of good will be accom-
plished.
With the wonderful season we
have there is not much excuse for
not raising a lot of early spring
vegetables, and we are hoping Texas
people will work to feed themselves.
Quite a few of our people were
over in Bastrop Saturday for the
trades day activities. Some are
planning to enter birds in the poul-
the week-end here with Mrs. Mary
Smith and Mr. and Mrs. T. J.
