Institute to
Be Held Here
A retail training institute, in
which personnel of Meridian’s re-
tail stores will have an opportun-
ity to participate, has been sched-
uled to start Monday, Dec. 4, ac-
cording to an announcement made
today by B. F. Word, president
of Chamber of Commerce.
Heading the list of training
courses to be offered is the course
in Better Selling for people who
are engaged in selling any type of
commodity. This selling course
may be broken up into two or
more classes.
S. H. Womack, Retail Training
Specialist on the staff of the
University of Texas, Division of
Extension, will be the instructor.
Prior to joining the Retail Train-
ing Division of The University
some two years ago, Mr. Womack
was engaged in the retail merchan-
dising field, during which time he
gained a good practical back-
ground of experience in training
of store personnel. He has con-
ducted retail institutes in more
than 15 cities during the past
two years.
Classes will be held from 9 to
11 a.m., and from 1:30 to 3:30
p.m. for five days starting Mon-
day, December 4. The forenoon and
afternoon classes will be seperate
classes so that the attendance of
employees from anyone store may
be spread out over the day. A
certificate from the University of
Texas will be presented to each
enrollee attending four out of five
classes. The course involves no
writing or examinations.
NEW OWNERS IN CHARGE
AT RIVERSIDE THEATRE
Mr. and Mrs. 0. W. Philpott
have assumed charge of the River-
side Drive-in Theatre. They came
to Meridian from Nacogdoches
where they have recently sold a
theatre. Mr. Philpott is from In-
dianapolis, Indiana. He owns an-
other theatre at Jennings, La.
Mr. Philpott plans a number of
improvements at the drive-in, and
expects to book a better quality
of pictures. The snack bar has
been enlarged the past week.
They report good business at
the theatre so far, which they
appreciate.
The Philpotts have an apartment
at the Homer Burch home here.
CLIFTON ABOUT TO LOSE
SYRINGE MAKING PLANT
The employees of the Eisele
Glass Syringe factory in Clifton
have received letters calling a halt
to their work and stating that the
equipment would be moved back to
the home plant in Nashville, Ten-
nessee this week.
The news came just at a time
that the plant appeared to be pro-
ducing at its fullest, and the fac-
tory had almost doubled the num-
ber of employes during the past
six weeks.
According to J. E. Knight, who
had been sent from Nashville to
manage the operations about
a year ago, the closing of the Clif-
ton branch was due primarily to
the high cost of shipping the raw
material and finished products
back and forth and the necessity
to make a change in the technique
of the manufacture of the glass
syringe to meet competition. The
parent unit is turning to more
machine work and less hand work.
The employees, all Clifton
residents, have been given the op-
portunity of working in the Nash-
ville plant. Most of them prefer
to remain and are giving serious
thought to the possibility of
purchasing the machinery and con-
tinuing to manufacture syringes in
Clifton, believing that there is a
market for their product in Texas
and neighboring states. The men
are all skilled craftsmen in their
trade, having been trained in Nash-
ville three years ago.

less in the first quarter, but Clif-

whelmed the Meridian crew.

Cubs’ attack climaxing two sus-
tained drives with scoring plunges
of eight and nine yards respec-
tively.

run and 50-yard scamper through

Jones sang “I Love You Truly”
and “Always” accompanied by
Mrs. L. R. Whitely, who also
played the wedding music.
Rev. R. R. Willingham of Ft.
Worth read the double-ring cere-
mony.
The bride’s brother Mr. Adrian
Griffin, of Waco, gave her in

ored suite of Grey with navy
accessories and her corsage was of

honor and Mr. Dwayne Polnac was
his brother’s best man.
A reception followed immed-
iately after the ceremony.
In the dining-room a color
scheme of pink and green pre-
dominated and the candles on the
lace laid refreshment table and
buffet were lighted by a niece and
nephew of the groom.
The beautiful three-tiered wed-
ding cake, topped by a miniature
bride and groom, was served by
the groom’s sister, Mrs. Bob Bo-
hannon, of Meridian, and Mrs.
Wendell Brister poured coffee.
Fifty-five guests registered in

iately on their honeymoon trip
and later will be at home in Ft.

ployed.

early in the year but after observ-

For the Preservation
of Our Homes
We, the homemakers of
America, numbering more than
50 million, working together, can
be the greatest single unit of in-
fluence in a world fighting for
lasting peace. Let us work to-
gether and thus impel the
peoples of other countries to
awaken to the realization that
freedom and democracy as it is
known and practiced in America
. . . as it must be known and
practiced in other lands . . . be-
gins in the home, depends on the
home, and is successful because
of the principles on which our
homes are founded.
The eyes of the world are
turned our way searchingly. As
guardians of our homes we must,
we will, give our best so that
they, the people of other lands,
may understand more clearly the
profound but simple truth . . .
that America, the greatest and
strongest nation on earth, is free
and strong because of the great-
ness and strength of the women
who organize and manage its
homes.
Fifty million women can not
be defeated. With divine help,
whatsover lies in our hands to do
can be done . . . with firmness,
and without doubt.

Meridian and Cranfills Gap
junior football teams fought to
a 13-13 tie at Cranfills Gap Tues-
day night, and are co-champions of
District 22-B.
The Junior Jackets had to come
from behind twice to gain the tie,
but missed a clear district title
by inches after the second touch-
down when Barry Robinson was
stopped barely short of the goal
line on an attempt to buck over
the extra point which would have
won the battle for Meridian.
Cranfills Gap placed a well-
drilled team on the field, and they
had a weight advantage that en-
abled them to stack up numerous
Meridian line plays.
Barry Robinson, who has made
long runs in previous Jacket
games, found the opposition tough,
but scored Meridian’s first touch-
down on a 35-yard scamper around
left end after a faked pass.
James Remington plowed over
from the five-yard line for the
tying Jacket score in the fourth
period, after a ten-yard gainer by
Carl Kerlee and some neat pass-
ing by Remington.
Price Tindall raced across for
both Cranfills Gap touchdowns.
He put the Gap ahead in the first
quarter with a 53-yard spree
around the right side of his line,
breaking through a bevy of de-
fenders into a clear field. A ten-
yard run through the left side put
the Gap ahead again in the third
quarter. The Gap made a strong
bid to score late in the fourth, but
the Jackets finally took over on
downs.
Meridian worked the ball inside
the five-yard line in the second
quarter, but four five-yard penal-
ties nullified their efforts, and the
half ended with the score 7-7.
It was an evenly-matched battle
all the way between the Jackets,
champions of the south half of
the district, and the Gap, cham-
pions of the north half. Meridian
was undefeated and untied in six
previous games, while the Gap had
won six and lost one.
After the game, Meridian stu-
knew of no other school that they
would rather share the champion-
ship with than Cranfills Gap.
