THE HOME TOWN GUIDEBOOK
When a traveler visits some foreign country or distant section, he
usually buys a guidebook. There he gets a list of the principal sights he
ought to see, and a description of the leading features of cities and coun-
try. He would miss a good part of the benefit of such a trip if he lacked
such a guidebook.
Travelers, by buying such a guidebook, get more out of their trips,
and it helps them get the worth of the money. The books helps them
travel by the most economical routes, it tells them where to stay, and
where to buy goods, and saves them many costs.
In traveling through life, we are like the traveler passing through
some fascinating country. We want to see and participate in all the in-
teresting things we can. The way to do is to obtain the best guidebooks
of life that we can find. _
One of the most important of these guidebooks in our daily life is
the home town newspaper. It is a directory of the activities, the business
the pleasure, the opportunities of the community. If you read it regularly
you are going to know about everything in the home town.
People who fail to read it are going to miss many things that would
benefit and please them. They are like the traveler who goes through a
country without a guidebook. Like him, they will often pay more for
things than they should.
The people who get along without this form of guidebook, are often
outside the main -current of life in their home town. They miss items of
information about what their friends are doing, about opportunities for
entertainment, and instruction. Those who do not get this information
do not quite realize what they are missing.

extend sympathy to the bereaved wife

BLANCHE LOUISE STIFFLEMIRE
Blanche Louise Scott, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Scott, was born
March 17th, 1884 in Burleson Coun-
ty, Texas. December 18, 1901, she
married Fayette Stifflemire at Smith-
ville, Texas, and they made their
home in Bastrop county, south of El-
gin for many years, where Mr. Stif-
flemire engaged in farming. Several
years ago he retired and they pur-
chased a home just north of town,
where they planned to spend their
declining years. Mrs. Stifflemire
had been ill since Christmas and a
hospital patient for three weeks,
death came at 10:00 p. m., in Aus-
tin, May 11th, 1944, and was attri-
buted to cerebral hemorrhage.
Funeral services were held on Fri-
day, May 12th, in the chapel of Mil-
ler Mortuary in Elgin with the Rev.
G. H. P. Showalter of Austin officiat-
ing. The cortege then proceeded to
Young’s Prairie where interment was
made.
Survivors are the husband and two
daughters, Mrs. Clavin Clark, Austin,
Mrs. Homer Reeves, Elgin; three
sisters, Mrs. Will Hazelwood, Davilla;
Mrs. Ray Martin and Mrs. A. B.
Crook, Houston; two brothers, Oscar
and Own Scott, both of Smithville,
Texas.
Mrs. Stifflemire was a member of
the Christian Church and a woman
who lived according to the mandates
and teachings of her church. She
was a member of the Woman’s Coun-
cil and took part in the meetings of
that organization until her failing
health prevented. She was a good
wife; a loving mother and a kind and
thoughtful friend and neighbor. She
was known for her cordial hospitality
and all who passed her way were
made feel welcome. She had many
friends and admirers and will be
sorely missed.
Among those from others places
here for the funeral were: Mrs. Dora
Luck, Mrs. Fayette Thomas, Mrs.
Richard Hasea, Mrs. Nellie Hunt, Mr.
and Mrs. A. B. Crook, Mrs. Ray Mar-
tin all of Houston; Mr. and Mrs. Own
Scott, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Scott, Mr.
and Mrs. T. D. Easely, Mr. and Mrs.
Clyde Schubert, Mr. and Mrs. Jack
Woods, all of Smithville; Mrs. Fred
Dunbar, Bastrop; Mrs. Will Hazel-
wood, Davilla; Mr. Frank Butler, Aus-
tin.

POLISH AIR CADETS are real soldiers, with a year and a half of military training in the Near East behind them.
Yet they are also the tragic children of this war to whom life has shown its ugliest side. On them rests the future of
Poland; judging by their faces that future is bright.
