Air raid sirens in the daytime
don't alarm anybody, he contin-
ued, "for during the summer per-
iod we used to have 3 and 4 or
even 5 and 6 a day with dogfights
going on all over the place at ex-
treme and practically invisible
heights. We hear much of the
night activity, hut so far we have
only been the recepients of about
a dozen or so odd pockets at in-
tervals.
Describing an air raid, the en-
gineer said conversation went
something like this: "What the
hell! Say Whats' this. Downstairs
everybody—there go the sirens.
Gosh, it's cold. You all right?
Yes, thanks! Only a hit chattery.

WHAM! WHAM! You all right?"
The youth said he was convinc-
ed the solution to the economic
and social problems of the world
today cannot he achieved by mili-
tary combat. "I am told," he said
"that the present European war is
due to the insane machinations of

Recognized throughout the na-
tion for its leadership in agricul-
tural activities and serving as a
pattern for emulation by many
similar organizations during the
past few years, the Dallas agricul-
tural club serves as a forum for
discussions but resolves neither
for nor against any theory or pro-
gram presented. Only positive ac-
tion of the club is embodied in the
annual recognition of someone
who has contributed materially to
the welfare of Texas agriculture.
This year the choice is John W.
Carpenter.
Iiorn and reared on a farm in
Navarro county, Mr. Carpenter
spent the first 20 years of his
life "making a hand '' Hi" first
job was digg'ing post holes for the
Corsicana Gas & Eloctric company
—the same organization of which
ho became president a few years
later.
He became vice president and
general manager of the Texas
Power & Light company in 1919;
he was elected president in 1927
and has continued in that capacity
down to the present time.
