“It’s teamwork spirit that holds
America together,’* Hawthorne de-
clared. The Russians learned the
value of athletics in developing
teamwork in World War II, Haw-
thorne said.
After the war, the Russians be-
gan a stepped-up program of ath-
letics, the speaker said.
“We all participate in the game
of life,” Hawthorne said, and doc-
tors tell us that our mental institu-
tions are composed chiefly of those
who didn't make the standards in
the the game of life."
"We all need a feeling of be-
longing and the ony way to solve
this toby participation," the speak-
er declared. We learn the basics
through pfotkipation in athletics,
Hawthorne believes.
"We win and we’re elated,” he
said, and when we win and lose,
goes out with other guys.”
The speaker was introduced by
Marvin Coffey.
Herb Zimmerman, Mount Pleas-
ant High heed coach, was present-
ed a plaque from members of the

The marketing quota program
will be in operation for next year's
crop, if at least two-thirds of the
votes cast in the referendum are
ir favor of the program. In that
case, farm operators will have an
opportunity to elect a. choice be-
tween (a) complying with their
"regular" farm allotments—with
price support available at not less
than 80 percent of parity for the
1959 crop of upland cotton, or, (b)
complying with an increased farm
allotment of 40 percent larger than
the “regular” farm allotment —
with support at a level 13 pencent
of parity lower than under the
first choice; quota penalties will
apply to any cotton produced in ex-
cess of the chosen allotment.
If more than one-third of the
voters are against quotas, there
would be no quota penalties, only
the "regular” allotments would be
available and the price support
level to eligible growers would
drop to 50 percent of parity.
All farmers who were engaged in
the production of upland cotton in
1958 are eligible to vote in the re-
erendum.
The referendum will be held in
the following places between the
hours of 8a.m. and 6 p.m. Mon-
day: Leonard Beaks’ Stere at Ar-
go, Barrett’s Store at Green Hill,
Taylor's Store at Monticello, and

from the various counties so that
they in turn could hold training

Best Outlook,

Special to The Times
LONE STAR, Texas — The
most heartening feature about
the inmediate outlook in busi-
ness to the effect the recent Su-
preme Court decision has had
on the oil and gas business, L. D
(Red) Webster told the Kiwanis
Club here Thursday night.
Reversal at the Memphis gas
rate case will mean “more sals
for Lone Star Steal, and more
sales means steadier production
and steadien work for employes,"
the Lone Star vice-president for
advertising and public relations
declared. - •
He called the outlook rosy be-
cause th* last decision will bring
on additional drilling because
new pipelines will make mor
exploration necessary to keep
reserves at a safe level.
~ This added activity, he said,
will bring more business to Lone
Star, with the results already
described.
“And so for Lone Star we have
a much brighter sales and produc-
tion picture for the coming year,"
he said.

which he spoke Is the “rumbling

ESSEX, Ont. to — A Detroit-
bound passenger train speeding
80 m.p.h. through morning fog
sliced the rear end off a school
bus stalled at a grade crossing
near here today and killed two
boys on the bus.
The driver and eight children
aboard the St. Ignatius school
bus of Holy Name Catholic Par-
ish in Essex escaped with rela-
tively minor injuries. Only two
were kept in hospitals after first
aid treatment.
The dead boys were Paul
Bosse, 11, and David Purvis, 8,
who had been riding on the back
seat of the bus.
The train was the New York
Central’s crack Detroiter, 30 min-
utes late on its run from New
York to Detroit. Engineer Louis
Jagoe of St. Thomas, Ont, told
provincial police he was running
about 80 m.p.h. with his diesel’s
headlight shining and his horn
blowing.
He said he saw the bus moving
across the tracks and applied his
brakes, but the bus stalled.
Albert Slock, 25, the bus driv-
er, said it was foggy “and my
windows were frosted over.
When I saw th* train I put the
brakes on, but it seemed as
though they wouldn’t bold and
I started to slide. When I realiz-
ed what was happening I gunned
her and the motor cut out on
me."
