Adults Responsible if Youth
Going to Dogs, Speaker Says
ABILENE HOSPITAL PATIENTS
If the youth of the nation “is
going to the dogs," it is because
the men and women of the nation
are leading the way and teaching
the youth as they go.
This was the opinion expressed
by The Rev. Fred Eastham,
Springfield Mo. at the annual Re-
ligious Focus Week of Hardin-Sim-
mons University. Approximately
600 people heard the Rev. East-
ham in the public service Monday
night.
He emphasized the importance
of a proper choice. "Choose this
day whom ye will serve." be said.
Restlessness and uncertainty of
youth and adults alike exist today
in greater degrees than ever be-
fore The answer to that restless-
ness is choosing Christ, he said
Abilene Couple
Gets Jail Terms
In Check Swindle
1’
An Abilene couple was assessed
a heavy fine and jail term in
County Court Monday for check
swindling. Both pleaded guilty.
J. W. Bailey and his wife, who
__endorsed checks by her maiden
name of Annie Lee Norman, were
both sentenced to county jail for 120
days and assessed fines of $75 and
costs for passing a worthless check
here.
‘If we wanted to, we could paint
a dark picture of life — young
men by the thousands in military
service, the American home threat-
ened by high divorce rates, the
underworld rampant so much so
thst it hss entered intercollegiate
basketball circles. Somewhere we
have neglected to learn right from
wrong,” he said.
‘There are many people in the
world who agree that Sunday
School, that Church are all right.
But they never do anything about
attending them or assisting tn the
program. They haven't said ‘yea'
to God."
The five-day religious program
continued Tuesday with additional
addresses by Dr Eastham Tues-
day morning the university quartet
of Charles Downey, Bob Smith,
Ray Baker, and Bill Hardage sang.
Seminars to be conducted Tues-
day night include those by Dr 0
| W English Lubbock: the Rev
Strauss Atkinson, Kermit; David
Alexander. College Station: Mrs.
David Alexander. College Station;
Orba Malone, El Paso; and Dr.
Buford L. Nichols, China
Dr Eastham will speak again
at 7:45 o'clock Tuesday night. The
public ia invited. A mixed quartet
composed of Herb Barker. Jane
Welch. North Beth Fuller, and Nor-
man McDaniel will provide the
music.
They had been called before
the 42d District Court grand jury
in connection with a possible forg-
ery indictment. But it was deter-
mined that, since the woman
signed her actual maiden name,
even though she is now married, it
was not a forgery. So the case
was turned over to County Court,
where check swindling cases in-
volving checks of under $50 are
handled.
When they complete their terms
In jail here, the Baileys sre wanted
in Ballinger and Brownwood on
check swindling charges.
County Judge Walter S. Pope
Jr said the couple paaaed checks
in this way: Bailey signed the
check to "A l, Norman," and
Mrs Bailey would pass it by en-
dorsing it the same way.
“Domestic” was written in the
lower left corner of each check,
possibly indicating it was a pay-
ment for work.

When the call went out for wom-
en to canvass the residential areas
of Abilene in the Red Cross fund
campaign, among the first to re-
spond as volunteers were the moth-
ers of boys-who may soon be eli-
gible for military service.
Realizing that their sons may,
within the next year or two, be in
one branch or another of the armed
forces, and possibly serving over-
seas in a combat area, they know
only too well the importance of
Red Cross activities. And they are
fully aware that the farflung serv-
ices of the Red Cross require many
a dollar.

NOW that we enter • New Year Busch & Sons think ie timely
to remind the public of their famous price policy—one which has
helped them grow and prosper impressively for 71 years.
NO Jeweler has adhered more closely to a policy
of selling quality jewelry at the lowest possible price
than Butch & Sons. However, no jeweler, no matter
how alert, can always offer the lowest price—on every
Item—all the time, but Butch & Sons will adjutt their
prices to those of ANY COMPETITION who may on
occasion be lower. We include the prieet of so-called
wholesalers, manufacturers and discount houses —
whether on nationally known, price fixed merchandise
or not.
BESIDES this ironclad price protection policy you
are assured of many other advantages when doing busi-
note with an old, reliable jeweler who is always ready to
make good on any transaction that may not give com-
plete satisfaction. COMPARE BEFORE YOV BUY.

| Farm Leader Sees
Food Price Decline
— WASHINGTON, March 8 W—A
national farm leader said today
there is a-good chance that farm
and food prices will decline some- j
| what during the months ahead.
John H Davis, executive secre-
tary nt the National Council of
Farmer Cooperatives, said such
a development la quite likely if
farm production continues at cur-
rent high levels.
A recent Agriculture Depart-

prices reached a record level in
mid-Februery However, some
farm products—particularly hogs
and grains—have declined since
that time.
