• The Robinowitz - Kaechele
Company department store in
Wallis has been undergoing for
some weeks a modernized and
streamlined program. It is now
ready for service from the new
layout.
The store has the appearance
of being greatly enlarged with
greatly increased facilities.
The stream line effect of
the store brings the whole
stock into better display and
provides increased facilities for
merchandising and service to
the public.
The grocery department has
been entirely rearranged,
brought forward and made in-
to a self-serving system, where
the purchasers may save time
by serving themselves, pick
what they want from the con-
veniently arranged counters
displaying the stock.
The appearance of the store
has been wonderfully improv-
ed, and the facilities for ser-
vice has been likewise greatly
increased.
Mrs. Ernie Koy and daugh-
ter, Mary Jane, arrived in
Austin County from Cincinat-

trip by airplane and were met
in Dallas by Mr. and Mrs. J.

Sealy Boy Meets
Soldiers Who Are
Engaged In War
• " Arthur Noland, formerly of
Sealy, had perhaps the first ex-
perience of meeting soldiers
who are engaged in the present
war. These soldiers are now
stationed on Aruba Island,
formerly a possession of Hol-
land, but under English pro-
tection at present.
The soldiers are Scotch, but
owing to the extremely hot
temperature on this island
they wear shorts instead of
kilts. These men are going
through a period of relaxation,
having been evacuated from
the battle of Dunkurque.

• Friday night at the lighted
football field the high school
graduating exercise took place
with the rendition of a most
enjoyable program.
Bishop Quin delivered the
address to the graduating class
u of 30. The class was presented
5 by Vernon Madden, who also
presented the P. T. A. cup.
Supt. Lamar F. Baker pre-
sented the diplomas to 28 grad-
uates present, two being absent
because of illness. These were
Eugene Foehner and Blanche
Hoff. They were presented with
their diplomas at home. Supt.
, Baker also awarded certificates
M and medals.
Bishop Quin made an excel-
lent address. He called atten-
tion to some excavations in
Egypt, where one may descend
into a hole in the ground and
view the remains of an ancient
civilization. Close by, one may
descend still deeper and see the
remains of a civilization even
4 more ancient, one that flour-
ished over 2,000 years ago.
These civilizations were essen-
tially like ours, but they failed
and the sands of the desert
covered them. The causes of
their destruction, he continued,
was the failure to live up to
certain fundamental principles
on which any enduring civiliza-
a tion must be based.
The fundamental principles
on which our civilization is
based are faith in God and love
of one’s neighbor. We need to
put these two fundamentals
more into practice, or our civi-
lization, too, will fail.
The world today faces a
great crisis, the United States
y is in one of the most crucial
periods in its history. There are
three attitudes, he emphasized,
which we might have: one of
despair, which wails about con-
ditions, but sees nothing to do
to remedy them; one of indif-
ference, a feeling that we did
not bring about the situation
and so should do nothing about
g it; and the attitude which sees
- the situation as it is, calls up
all his resources to meet it, and
does what he can. This last was
the attitude he hoped his hear-
ers would have. In closing he
displayed a booklet which he
thought would be • helpful—
What I Can Do to Defend
America. A copy was given to
each graduate after he receiv-
# ed his diploma.
Here is the program as it
was rendered:
Processional, Mrs. Mary B.
Hess.
