Spring Cleaning
Discards Desired
By Salvation Army
Spring cleaning discards are
of value to the Salvation Army,
notes Major Byron A. Freeman,
commanding officer of the Men’s
Rehabilitation Center for North
Texas.
“Many householders will find
clothing, bedding, appliances
which may not be working, fur-
niture, and many other items to
discard during Spring cleaning
time. We invite our friends in
Ennis to call TR5-2625 and a Sal-
vation Army truck will pick up
these discards from their home
on April 11 and 12,” he added.
The Salvation Army salvages,
cleans and rebuilds items given
to it, a process which not only
supports the rehabilitation of
over 1,100 men each year, but
also teaches the men skills which
will help them become self-sup-
porting after graduation from
the Center.
Household discards are tax
deductible, notes Major Free-
man. “We gladly furnish receipts
for the goods which may be used
in declaring a fair value for in-
come tax return, just as if it
were a gift of cash,” he added.
The Salvation Army Men’s Re-
habilitation Center is completely
self-supporting, and does not re-
ceive funds from community
drives or governmental agencies.

Future Homemakers At Ennis High Are
Pleased With Success of FHA Week
The Future Homemakers of
America, better known to many
across the country as FHA,
. would like to tell you something
about their organization, officials
of the local chapter said today.
They pointed out that Future
Homemakers of America is the
national organization of pupils
studying in junior and senior
high schools of the United States
and territories. As an integral
part of the program of home
economics in schools of America,
it offers opportunity for the
further development of pupil
initiative in' planning and carry-
ing out activities related to
homemaking. Over a period of
years there have been various
club organizations of pupils in-
volved in high school home
economics. These were sponsor-
ed in various ways, were known
by various names, and function-
ed under various plans. In June,
1945, during a national meeting
of these various organizations,
the Future Homemakers of
America evolved. A constitution
was written and this name was
adopted as the official name of
the national organization.
The FHA emblem is octagonal
in shape. It bears the name of
the organization, the Future
Homemakers of America,
around the top of the plane.
Around the lower side is the
motto “Toward New Horizons.”
In the center, there is a house
supported by two hands. This
symolizes that the future Homes
of America are in the hands of
its youth. There are lines radicat-
ing from the center symbolizing
the way a home effects the com-
munity and, even more import-
ant, how it effects the world.
The colors of FHA are red
and white. Red is for strength
and courage and a strong de-
termination to succeed; white
is for innocence and purity,
characteristics which symbolize

The County Commissioner's Court
Part Nine
This is one of a series of ar-
ticles written by Judge Paul
Grafton, who is a candidate for
the office of County Commis-
sioner, Precinct 2, our own Com-
missioners Precinct.
POWERS AND DUTIES
Article 2351
Section 18 gives the Court
powers for the acquisition of
land, and for the building and
operation of a county airport, for
housing adjacent to such air-
ports and for the use of subter-
ranean water resources. There is
a strong sentiment here in En-
nis for a county airport, and in
such a rapidly growing, diversifi-
ed county, no doubt one day we
may provide such a facility.
Article 2351a, Section 1, au-
thorizes the Court to provide fire
fighting equipment and appara-
tus for the protection of proper-
ty outside the city limits of in-
corporated cities and towns in
the county, and for contracts
with these cities and towns to
provide fire protection for such
areas. Ennis has a contract with
Ellis County to provide fire pro-
tection to a large adjacent area,
and the County pays the City of
Ennis the sum of one dollar a
year for these services.
It is estimated that each out-
of-city call made by our Ennis
Fire Department costs the city
taxpayers about $50.00. We also
place much of our own city pro-
perty in jeopardy when our
trucks answer these calls, and
all calls are answered by our De-
partment.
We have six fully-paid firemen
in Ennis, including Chief D. D.
Day, and twenty-eight volun-
teers. With one-half of these per-
sonnel on duty or call for twenty-
four hour periods, we have six-
teen men one day and seventh
each alternate day, which gives
us actually more personnel than
the Waxahachie Fire Depart-
ment, which has eighteen men.
including their Chief, giving
them nine men on duty at all
times, seven at their main Fire
Station, and two at their substa-
tion. Waxahachie’s firemen are
all fully-paid regulars.
Since the Court is empowered
to purchase fire protection
equipment and trucks in this
Statute, it could easily purchase
a nice truck for each Ennis and
Waxahachie, placing such equip-
ment on loan to the cities, or it
could reimburse the two cities
on each out-of-town call made
answering these fires on a basis
of actual cost and not impose
the county’s responsibility upon
the city taxpayers.
I shall discuss further next
week the powers and duties of
the Commissioners Court.

while in town.

For its motto, FHA has "To
ward New Horizons.” It express-
es the purpose of the organiza-
tion-learning to live better to-
day in order that our lives and
those of our families may be
better tomorrow.
Pennsylvania’s state flower is
the mountain laurel—it might
have been chosen. California
would favor the poppy, Texas
would favor the Bluebonnet,
and so on. However, the national
flower could not be for one state
only. It had to be for every
Future Homemaker of America.
The Rose can best be that flow-
er. The official guide explains
it in these words:
“The Rose has been a favorite
flower from remotest antiquity.
It is found in almost every coun-
try of the northern hemisphere
and is capable of cultivation in
every state and territory of
America. A red Rose is symbolic,
of vibrant, glowing health which
contributes to happiness, and
efficiency in home and group
life.”
Every organization has a pur
pose and the Future Homemak
ers of America have eight. They
are:
1. To promote a growing ap-
preciation of the joys and satis-
factions of homemaking.
2. To emphasize the importan-
ce of worthy home membership.
3. To encourage Democracy in
home and community life.
4. To work for a good home
and family life for all.
5. To promote international
good will. (
6. To foster the development
of creative leadership in home
and community life.
7. To provide wholesome indi-
vidual and group recreation. -
8. To further interest in home
economics. •
The creed which summarizes
the goals is held very dear to
the hearts of every Future Home-
maker of America,” it was statt
ed. The Creed follows:
We are the Future Homemak-
ers of America. We face the
future with warm courage and
high hope. For we have the clear
consciousness of seeking old and
precious values. For we are the
builders of homes; homes for
America’s future; homes where
living will be the expression of
everything that is good and
fair; homes where truth and love
and security and faith will be
realities, not dreams. We are
the Future Homemakers of
America. We face the future
with warm courage and high
hope.
In conclusion, we would like
to say that FHA week has been
a success. We want to thank
everyone who has helped it so
successful—especially our spons-
ors, Mrs. Phoebe Denney and
Mrs. Maurine Overall. At this ,
time, we would like to apologize
to Claire Denney and Del Marie
Janousek for not mentioning
their names in Thursday’s article
as those that participated in a
