Place Manure Accurately
Guests for the evening who
were introduced by Lion Capt. J.
A. Benton were: Mr. Earl Hamp-
ton of Commerce, Mr. Jess Callo-
way, Mr. Claude Stone and Mr.
Jim Barber of Wylie, Mr. Dutch
Fielder of Farmersville, County
Judge J. W. Neal, Hon. Wallace
Houston and Prof. Lyman Robin-
son of McKinney and County
Judge Bill Lofland of Rockwall.
After the guests were introduc-
ed, the president introduced the
principal speaker, the Hon.
Claude Calloway of Crowell who
spoke on the subject "The mean-
ing of Democracy and how best
to preserve it." He said that De-
mocracy was tied to Christianity
and our institutions of state pol-
itics were tied to the institutions
of our churches. "Any attempt to
leave the Church out of the minds
of the peoples in the affairs of
the State was an attempt to un-
dermine the basic principles upon
which this great nation was
founded, said Mr. Calloway. He
further said that "Churches are
the indicators of the worth of the
community."

(Does your soil have "dry
' pockets"— spots where crop-
producing manure has not
been placed?
You can correct this with
the accurate, even spreading
of a McCormick-Deering
Manure Spreader. This is es-
pecially true with the No.
300-F Tractor Spreader, si nee
f it carries </// the fluid manure
onto the fields with no waste

of the valuable liquid por-
tion.
Yes, all five models in
the McCormick-Deering
Spreader line give you full
value from your manure, be-
cause of their fine shredding
and even flow of material to
the beater. Sizes from 40 to
75 bu. capacity. Ask for de-
tails on the model that fits
your farm.

The Clyde Potts
Spend Week in Olney
Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Potts have
recently returned from a weeks
vacation trip to the city of Olney,
Texas, where they spent a few
days visiting in the home of their
son, Mr. C. W. Potts of that city.
Mr. Potts reports a fine vacation
trip and that while in that city,
he and his son went fishing on
the local lake, Lake Olney. He re-
ports that he never believed any
of the stories aof the big one that
got away; however, he said he
had to believe them now because
just as he was about to pull in
one of the largest fish he had ever
seen, it gave a jerk and jumped
back into the water. (Mr. Potts, I
still don't believe them.—Ed.)

Red Cross Emergency Relief Reaches
$24,000.00 For Citizens Of McKinney
In an interview with Mr. H. E.
Suydam, Director of the Red
Cross for the McKinncy Disaster
work, it was learned that this
agency has spent over $24,000 on
the first phase of its relief work
for the stricken area. These ex-
penditures have been made on
food, clothing and shelter for the
people who were made homeless
and destitute by the terrific Tor-
nado which struck this Texas
town this past Monday, May 3.
Mr. Suydam stated that this
work being carried on in McKin-
ncy was being meted out on the
basis of Need and not on the basis
of fulfilling and replacing every
item which was lost in the storm.
It consists of replacing homes in
the event of there being no in-
surance; replacing all necessary
furniture in the homes; food for
the families; clothing for the fam-
ilies and all other necessary aids.
It did not, however, take care of
replacing luxuries lost in the
storm such as radios, table lamps,
etc—items which the Agency con-
sidered as luxuries and easily
done without. He stressed that
this was emergency work which
was being carried on and had its
view the taking care of these
people until they were able to
take care of themselves.
He estimated that the Red
Cross work will be completed in
McKinney by the middle of July.
To date, his organization has
registered 491 families and is do-
ing a marvelous job of rehabili-
tation and emergency work for
these families. The organization
is taking care of both McKinney
and Princeton families who were
hit by the storm which left such
a path of destruction in its wake.
