BEHIND THE SCENE WITH

—By Edgar- Hutchins—
In the mad scramble last week with
Showers, sandstorms, courts, et cete-
ra, this column never got to the
Editor^ desk. Probably it was never
missed, anyway.

•of Ralls, that plans will be made at
the Crosbyton meeting to present a
cooperative plan of rate reduction to
theixonapany officials.
, This telephone Association was
originally sponsored by Crosbyton
and Ralls, and we're backing it to
the limit.

FACULTY COMPLETE
. OF
TWO NEW'TEA(
The faculty for the Crosbyton Pub-
ic school system Was completed at
a called meeting of the Crosbyton
school board last Thursday night,
when two more teachers were elect-
ed; Miss Effie Sffife was elected
j as a teacher in grammar* school,
The paper last week gave an ac-
count of First Monday activities.
Suffice it to say that .we're planning
a bigger and better program next
First Monday.
merce organizations, Crosbyton and
Ralls, are .to take the matter up for
discussion in & meeting of both bo-
dies this week-end.
Some definite decision will likely
be mae next week as to whether the
local expenses can be handled by
these organizations. We understand
the Crosbyton Chamber of Ccfmmerce
will perhaps call a meeting today to
discuss the matter and those interest-
ed are asked to attend the meeting.

Fire Boys Thank Public for
Big Attendance
The Negro Minstrel staged Wed-
nesday evening by the Crosbyton
pie perish," was the text us:d Sunday
morning by the Rev. G. C. Bidwell,
pastor of—the local Presbyterian
church, wfTen he preached the Bac-
calaureate sermon before the grad-
uates of the Crosbyton High school.
The text was taken from the 29th
chapter of Proverbs?* 18th verSSS^--"
This proverb is abundantly illus-
trated in history, said Rev.: Bidwell.
Samuel states that the condition pre-
vailnig in the times of the Judges of
Israel was due to the fact that there
was no clear vision. And the same is
true of other nations and times, he
said.
"The prophet Joel promised a time
when young men should see visions.
This prophecy has been fulfilled, not
only in the realms of the spiritual,
but also in the material. The com-
forts and conveniences of today were
but the dreams and visions of yester
day. So may this vision of today be-
come the realities of tomorrow."
Some of the leading thinkers ■of
today, said the speaker, think that-
the next great advancement will be
in the realms of the spiritual. Should
this be true, then the prophecy of
Micah. and the hopes 6f every true
child of God, may be realized, when
"They shall beat their swords into
plowshares £tnd their spears into
pruning hooks; nations shall not lift!
up jsword against nation, neither shall
they learn wars any more.- -But they
shall sit every man under" his own
tghile Mrs. Russell McCurdy was el-
ected to' teach at Four Mile Lak?...
Consideration of maintaining the
Vocational Agriculture department
in the school was taken tip follow-
ing an appeal to the school board by
farmers and others interested that
all efforts be made to retain the
department. No conclusion was
reached at the meeting. '

With 16 years of acfive service in
farmer organizations, supported by
practical experience as ranchman and
farmer, Mr. Brown has won distinc-
tion as a speaker and thinker. He
is-- now touring Texas speaking at
such points as Temple, San Antonio,
Corpus Christi, Viotorio, Brownwood,
San Angelo, and Lubbock. While in
Missouri it was difficult to secure
meeting halls large enough to ac-
comodate those who came to hear
him. This is an opportunity for the
farmers of the South Plains and
they can rest assured that Mr. Brown
will be worth hearing.
