• With friends filling the
large High School auditorium,
commencement exercises were
held here Friday evening, May
23, 1941.
An attractive arrangement of
flowers and ferns gave a pret-
ty setting for this important
event in the school life of the
seniors, at which time thirty
members were presented for
graduation.
The address by Robert J.
Cummins, of Houston, brought
a special message to the class,

Q All of the characters in
Jack Kirkland’s famed and

who stirred the imagination
of the theatrical world with

John Ford’s brilliant direction.

fall. The latter takes 105 days,
and is perhaps the best known
winter squash.
The kitchen herbs deserve a
place in every garden. Parsley,
the most important, makes an
attractive border, particularly
if one of the densely double
variety is chosen.
Parsley is slow to germinate
unless the seed is soaked in
warm water for twenty-four
hours before sowing. Drain
off the water after the prescrib-
ed time and mix the seed with
stand to facilitate sowing. Af-
terward water well and keep
uniformly moist until the seed-
lings are up.

varieties of field corn can be

awards by Mr. Wasicek brought
the program to a close.
Last week closed this school
year, and the seniors had more
parties showered upon them.
On Tuesday evening, the
Baptist Sunday school honored
Misses Johnnie Elizabeth and
Rozella Proctor and Alford
Crisp at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Sidney Bear. Many, many
games were played, and re-
freshment plates were passed
on which were sandwiches, po-
tato chips, pickles, tea and
cake. More games, and the
party came to a happy ending.
Naming her niece, Miss Be-
atrice Motl, as honoree, Mrs.
Allen H. Brandt entertained
the senior class with a bunco
party Wednesday evening at
Legion Hall. For their skill,
Miss Johnnie Elizabeth Proctor
and Louis Motl were awarded
first prizes, and the consola-
tion prizes fell to Miss Leona
Pazderny and Frank Felcman.
The tally cards represented lit-
tle United States flags and the
colors were reflected in the
plate favors on the refreshment
plates of sandwiches, potato
chips, glazed pickles, angel
cake and lemonade. The re-
Many are already familiar
with the thrilling drama de-
picted in “Tobacco Road.” Es-
sentially it is the story of
hungry people, their tragedy
and comedy, all brought to-
gether in a superb script by
Nunnally Johnson.
A memorable staye play,
“Tobacco Road” is even' great-
er and more powerful as a
film. Intensely absorbing, mov-
ing and entertaining—it’s great

scene. 20th Century - Fox has

will reward you with excep-
tionally fine cut flowers next
■summer.
Bluebonnets — It is a good
idea to let the seed stay on
the plants until the pods start
splitting, then gather the
seed, otherwise you will have
immature seed that will not
germinate. Cutting off the tops
of bluebonnets before the seed
matures will kill out your
stock, and if you want blue-
bonnets next year, you’ll have
to get new seeds. If planted in
the grass area, allow the seed
to fall from the pods to the
ground. Pull up the old stalks
and then mow the grass as
needed.
VEGETABLE GARDENING
Now is the time for the
vegetable gardner to turn in-
terest to edibles for late sum-
mer and fall, and vegetables
which have been little used.

SUMMER FLOWERS
AND VEGETABLES
• Among the summer plants
that do not require extra wat-
ering and that can stand the
summer heat is the portulaca,
or moss rose. It can be trans-
planted successfully, but in any
resetting, it should be placed
where it will get lots of sun.
These seeds are very small and
should be just pressed into the
ground. This will avoid too
deep planting, the cause of
most failures with these tiny
seeds.
Don’t let portulaca be too
crowded—six inches is the
minimum distance to allow be-
tween plants. This plant is very
desirable for beds, edging or
rockeries and thrives in almost
any situation, but prefer a
sunny one.
For blooms next spring,
seeds of a few perennials should
go in the ground now. The list
for planting in the next few
weeks includes wallflowers,
foxgloves, canterbury bells,
pyrethrum, daisies, hollyhocks.
Columbines can be planted now
in a cool, shady place, such as
under shrubs, to be transplant-
ed later. Guernsey or spider
lilies planted now will bloom
in September.
Gaillardia—or Indian blank-
et, as the native Texas plant
is known—can be planted now.
Gaillardia as it is to be had
from your seedsman has been
hybridized to produce large,
double flowers in striking col-
ors ranging from yellow to
scarlet. They have been known
in places to produce blooms
three inches in diameter. It’s a
good idea to plant the seed in
a small bed and transplant
Ernest Elledge returned
home Sunday night from San
Angelo, where he has attended
school the past year. He plans
to enter Texas University this
fall.
Miss Hilda Ruth Beyer was
home from Houston for a week-
end visit with her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Herman Beyer. Miss
Beyer is taking a brush-up
course in typing looking to se-
curing a position in Houston.
She has had a position in the
office of the president of A. &
M. College for the past three
years.
Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Baum-
ert, of Eagle Lake, visited here
Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. P.
H. Engelke. Mr. and Mrs. Eng-
elke entertained their guests at
Stephen F. Austin State Park
with a picnic supper.
Geraldine Kennibrew and
Eunice Yarbro left the first of
the week for an extended visit
in West Texas and New Mexi-
co. They will return some time
in July.

itely with her parents, Mr. and
