GIRLS NOT GOING TO COLLEGE
TO GET MARRIED
• Rumors that a co-ed goes to college to get her “M.R.S.”
rather than her “B.S.” or “B.A.” degree, were left without a
silk-stockinged leg to stand on at the University of Texas
survey.
Careers stand first in the hearts and plans of co-eds grad-
uating this year, it is reported.
If their wishes come true, 85 per cent of the girls will work
the first year out of college; 10 per cent will be married; and
5 per cent will go home.
Most popular careers were the fields of business administra-
tion and journalism. Teaching ranked second, home economics
third, and science fourth. Social welfare work, government posi-
tions,’ and painting followed in the popular chair, while contin-
ued study, travel, and leisurely home life trailed behind.

FEDERAL-AID TO TEXAS PROGRAMS
• The Federal Government helped Texas to the extent of $31,-
764,144 during the fiscal year 1939 to operate such Federal-
State programs as highway improvement; agricultural experi-
ment stations; aid to the aged, and to needy or incapacitated
children.
This was made known today by Mr. B. Frank White, Texas
Acting State Director fo rthe Office of Government Reports, in
conjunction with the annual publication of an itemized account-
ing of Federal contributions to agencies operating on a Federal-
State or a Federal-State-local cooperative expenditure basis.
Mr. White said that the number of State programs which
receive Federal contributions has doubled during the past seven
years.
New programs sharing the Federal expenditures are those for
the aged, crippled children, mothers with infants, the needy, the
unemployed and the ill-housed.
Older programs receiving increased amounts from the Federal
Government were those for the improvemnt and maintenance of
through highways and farm-to-markt roads, agricultural ex-
periment stations and agricultural schools, and the vocational
education and rehabilitation of disabled persons.
Following are the State programs benefitting from these' Fed-
eral-aid grants, and the amount received during the fiscal
saa.
“ROCK-A-BYE BABY”
• Perhaps many a mother or grandmother who has rocked
children or grandchildren to sleep with the lullaby “Rock-a-Bye
Baby” did not know until its author passed on in, Boston recent-
ly that it was composed by a girl of fifteen who improvised the
melody while caring for a restless child. But while Effie Canning
Carlton hummed the tree-top tune to a single child, countless
mothers have crooned it beside cradles for several decades since.
Even though it had, perhaps, more rhyme and rhythm than
reason in a literal sense, the simple, soothing lullaby struck a
chord of universal appeal. Ballads will be ballads, and tunes and
tales have a poetic license all their own. Though “Rock-a-Bye
Baby” warned that when the bough broke the cradle would fall
and down would come cradle and baby and all—they never did.
And never will.—Christian Science Monitor.
Mr. White stated that the emergency relief agencies which
operate projects sponsored locally and to which local contribu-
tions are made, are omitted from this group as their primary
aim is relief.

THE VILLAGE MOVEMENT
• Back in the little town of Scarsdale, New York, a movement
was recently started which is typically in the American tra-
dition.
It is known as “The Village Movement,” and is sponsored by
a group of representative citizens of the community. Its purpose
is to restore representative government and to let business ex-
pand and make more jobs. Its ten objectives include: To uphold
the Constitutional division of power of the Federal government;
to restore to the Federal government simplicity of form and
economy of operation; to resist government encroachment upon
legitimate business; to encourage agriculture and industry, and
aid those in need through local machinery; to support labor in
its right to work and bargain collectively; to foster all social
improvements of reasonable character which the country can
pay for, and to resist the coercive tactics of all pressure groups.
The underlying purpose of this movement is obvious—to im-
press the people and the local community with the traditions
of the nation’s founders. Fewf o us realize how far we have
strayed from the principle of self-rule. The independence and
rights of local government have been lost little by little, almost
without notice. And the result has been to create a gigantic and
incredibly costly Federal bureaucracy which is inevitably op-
posed to the perpetuation of true democracy.
What these Scarsdale people have done, should be emulated
on the widest possible scale by thousands of other communities
of America. It we are to maintain democracy and sound and
solvent government, there must be a resurgence of local respon- .
sibility, local independence, local effort to serve the industries,
farmers and working people of the nation. Centralized govern-
ment is the enemy of true representative government. And the
Village Movement seems to be one possible cure for a trend
which has gone farther than most of us know in saddling this
country with the principles of totalitarianism.

The Sealy junior baseball
boys came to play a game
against the boys from our
school. The Sealy boys manag-
ed to win the game by good
base running. The highlight of
the game was a home run by
J. Swinky with one man on.
The final score was 3-2.

bing from Mr. Hrachovy.

Wed at Littlefield
• The marriage of Miss Ruth
Wells, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Joe Wells, and Lloyd
Schroeder, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Paul Schroeder, of Sealy, was
solemnized at 8 o’clock Satur-
day night at the home of the
bride’s parents with Rev. Don-
ald Harris, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, officiating,
with the ring ceremony.
A profusion of flowers made
an attractive setting for the
wedding in the spacious living
room.
The bride was given in mar-
riage by her father. She wore
a navy blue dress with white
accessories. Her corsage was of
talisman roses, and she carried
a Testament, which was wrap-
ped in white satin ribbon
streamers. The Testament be-
longed to her great-grandmoth-
er and is 127 years old. She also
carried a handkerchief that her
mother carried at her wedding,
made by the bride’s great-great
aunt.
Miss Josephine Wells, sister
of the bride, was her only at-
tendant. She was attired in a
navy ensemble and wore a cor-
sage of deep yellow roses.
Mr. Schroeder was attended
by Elmer Kimmel as best man.
A buffet supper was served
after the ceremony from a table
laid with an exquisite lace
cloth. Candles in crystal cande-
labra were on each side of the
beautiful wedding cake. The
cake was topped with a minia-
ture bride and groom.
The bride was graduated
from the Littlefield high school
in 1937. She attended a beauty
school in Lubbock, and at the
present time is owner and op-
erator of the Marinello beauty
shop in Littlefield.
The groom is a graduate of
the Sealy high school, and for
the past year has been a ser-
geant at the local CCC camp.

SCHOOL NEWS
Enthusiasm has more to do
with the making of a happy,
healthy human being than is
suspected. The poisonous germs
of fatigue, which so infest the
indolent, the wavering, and the
fearful, scamper when they
hear the tramp of the opposing
forces of enthusiasm. I recall
how thrilled I was when my
friend, Albert Payson Terhune,
came into my office one day and
told me that his mother—at
that time 93 years of age, I
think it was—was doing the
best work of her life! She was
the late Marion Harland, so
famous and beloved for so
many generations.--Adams.
