Superintendent John Damron
reported this week that, the
school scholastic census was com-
ing along fine except for those
children who will be first grad-

The Claude News conducted a
survey of the leaders of Arm-
strong County youth organizations
last week to determine possible
needs, problems and recommenda-
tions Strangely enough, most of
their needs are similiar and each
organization appear strong on
direct unit leadership
The basic need seems to be a
strong, active sponsoring organi-
zation that can and will take
fund raising campaigns, unit
leadership appointments, public
interest campaigns and similiar
responsibilities from the unit lead-
ers so they can devote full time
to the programs of their units.
Their next need seems to be
more general interest in then-
public programs in which the
whole community is generally in-
vited to attend. This general in-
terest induces a feeling of worth-
iness in the various children par-
ticipating and increases their en-
thusiasm for the youth program
in which they are engaged. The
unit leaders complimented The
Claude News on the publicity they
receive through the paper and
felt that in general this part of
their program was being met.
Finances might run a weak
third, inasmuch, as most units
are self-sufficient as to direct
unit financial needs. However,
where there are district organi-
zations to be supported, a sponsor
is needed to direct fund raising
programs to relieve the unit lead-
ers of the responsibility. All units
expressed appreciation for the
"Living Christmas Card" contri-
butions as well as other support
for bake sales, shows, etc. Most

Texas auto license plates
go on sale here Feb. 2
Come.
WFAse IT...
Austin, Jan. 29—New license
plates for 1959 will go on sale
in all county courthouses Febr-
uary 2, State Highway Engineer
D. C. Greer announced today. The
plates will be the reverse of 1958's
and will have black letters and
numerals on a white background.
Greer stated that four and one-
half million motor vehicle regis-
trations were bought by Texana
in 1958. "Don't be at the end
of that long line. Get your ve-
hicle registered early," Greer
urged. "The registration deadline
is April 1, but we hope car and
truck owners will put on the new
plates as soon as possble."
Greer stressed the importance
of registering all automobiles and
trucks in the home county of the
vehicle owner.
"Take your certificate of title
and your last year's registration
receipt to the tax collector in
your home county. Penalty for
improper registration of a vehi-
cle can be as much as $200. Don't
risk an illegal registration. Re-
member, too, that a portion of all
registration fees stays in your
home county to benefit ypur local
community."
