all the chips tonight, Friday, when

night will guarantee the Trfbp at
least a tie for the District $6A
championship and the right to
represent the district In bi-dis-
trict play. A loss to the highly
touted Falcons (would leave the
district championship winner In
doubt and would tip the scales In
favor of the Falcons who still have
district games to play with Wolfe
City and Whltesboro.

Warriors Blast
Bearcats 34-14
Coaches Bobby Anderson and
Quinn Eudy’g Honey Grove War-
riors put together a full four
quarters of playing good football
last Friday night before a home-
coming crowd and Warrior Stad-
ium and won over the favored
Whltesboro Bearcats 34-14.
It was a great team effort, With
the Tribe taking the opening kick-
off and displaying masterful ball
control eating away a near nine
minutes of time in the first quar-
ter in a steady march goalward
which was climaxed when Randy
Collins swept his left end on a
reverse from nine yards out for
the TD and Phil Fuller passed to
Sammy Kilpatrick for the PAT’S,
giving the Warriors an 8-0 lead be-
fore the visiting Bearcats ever had
possession of the ball.
The Warriors first scoring drive
covered 80 yars in 19 plays with
seven firsjt downs. Warrior backs,
behind gdod blocking by linemen
ground out yardage steadily with
George Oats, Ricky Glover, James
Fuller, Randy Collins and Poge
Stuart alternating carrying the
ball.
The Warriors tallied three times
before the half, enjoying a 20-0
lead at halftime. The Tribe’s de
fensese were so tight and their ball
control game was played so per-
fectly, that the Bearcats were able
to manage only four first downs
and 98 yards rushing to the
Tribe’s 183 yards and 16 first
downs for the first two periods of
play.
The Warriors second scoring
drive came early in the second
quarter. It covered 77 yards In
seven plays and two first downs.
George Oats swept right end for
the TD from seven yards out.
James Fuller's try on the run for
the PATs was short. The TD
came with 9:06 left in the period.
A 33 yard pass and run play,
with Phil Fuller passing to Joe
Henry who sped across the goal
after eluding the Bearcat defend-
ers gave the Warrior's another
second quarter TD with 3:27 left
before the half. The scoring drive
took 8 plays in all for a total of
63 yards with four first downs.
Try for the PATs was no good.
The Warriors ran the skein to
28-0 before the Bearcats scored
late in the third quarter.
Midway of the third quarter,
Ricky Glover capped a Warrior
90 yard scoring drive with a flpe
49 yard run for the TD. The
drive in eight plays with four first
downs enroute, came with 4:4$
left in the third quarter. James
Fuller ran over the PAT’s to put

When Texas voters go to the
polls November 3, they will have
a chance to save money — and
write history — by approving Con-
stitutional Amendment No. 1 on
the ballot.
That was the statement made
recently by a member of the State
Board of Education, Paul Mathews
of Greenville.
Amendment No. 1 would re-
move the present- authority to
transfer one percent annually out
of the Permanent School Fund
for current school expenditures.
The State Board of Education,
which administers the fund, has
endorsed the amendment and urged
its support. Board members con-
gratulated the Texas Legislature
for submitting to the voters this
proposal to limit legislative author-
ity.
The Permanent School Fund ori-
ginated as a “special school fund"
in 1864 when $2 million was set
aside for development of public
schools. The fund was to be in-
vested and only the income spent
for schools, the same pattern foll-
owed today.
The Constitution of 1870 changed
it to a “permanent free school
fund” and the 1876 Constitution
called it a “perpetual public school
fund.’’ These constitutions and lat-
er legislative acts provided add-
itional public land as endowment
for the fund.
In 1891, however, an amendment
was approved authorizing the
Legislature to transfer one percent
each year from the Permanent
School Fund to meet current school
expenses. This was done until 1899.
It was not until 1957 that such
a transfer was again made, but
since then five one percent drains
have been made on the fund
Since 1957 more than $20 million
has been removed from the school
fund by the transfer route. Board
members pointed out that, at pre-
sent investment rates, this $20
million would have produced an
equal amount of revenue for cur-
rent use in 20 years. In addition,
the $20 million would still be in
the fund to produce another $20
million in the following 20 years,
had not the transfers been made.
State Board of Education mem-
bers see this as a dissipation of
the trust fund which should be
handed down to future generations
Adoption of Amendment No.
would preserve the school fund
and continue its history of ser
vlng posterity, Mathews said.
Texas young people of various
church organizations working to-
gether in their communities will
be among thousands of CROP
workers in the state this month as
they call from door to door in
their communities seeking “treats"
for neeedy people abroad.
Honey Grove young people will
“Trick or Treat for CROP" this
Saturday evening beginning at
0:30, o’clock, It has been announc-
ed.
CROP is the Community Re-
sources Program of Church World
Service and collects food, fibre and
cash in communities throughout
the United States for the world re-
lief programs of the churches. It
is becoming as much a symbol of
Halloween to the young people of
Texas as the traditional "trick or
treats," black cats, pumpkins, and
the -rest.
The youth will join other CROP
workers in the state who are seek-
ing contributions of grain, cotton,
rice, livestock and cash for the
overseas programs.
Together they will help to pro-
vide a meal a day of rice for a
Child Feeding Program in Hong
Kong where 18,000 children, who
have come to the British Crown
Colony from Communist China,
ttherwise do not receive as much
as one full meal a day. A gift of
will provide enough rice for a
meal a day for one child for a
year.
They will help to provide
emergency assistance for people
left homeless by natural disasters
which there were 14 in 1963.
In September of this year, for ex-
ample, 44,000 people were left
homeless in Korea due to torren-
tial rains; and through Korea
Church World Service tents,
blankets and other items were pro-
vided by the contributions of the*
people of America.
They will help to provide agri-
cultural assistance to other lands
food for wages to build roads and
The Magic Word
POPPY
to develop water supplies, better
seeds, and more effective tools.
One third of the aid provided by
CROP in 1963 was for some form
of agricultural assistance. A gift
of $2 will help to provide a hoe for
Africa to help turn jungles into
productive gardens.
They will also help to make pos-
sible the distribution of govern-
ment-donated farm commodities
that are given to Church World
Service for its overseas programs.
A gift of $1 will provide over 300
pounds of food in this way.
Young people representing
CROP will be recognized this year
by an orange-yellow CROP identi-
fication tag bearing the "Freedom
from Hunger" symbol.
Honey Grove young people will
assemble at the Civic Center at
6:30 o’clock Saturday evening for
final plans about the collection
drive here. “This has been a most
successful endeavor in Honey
Grove in the past,” a spokesman
for the Honey Grove Ministerial
Alliance said Monday. “Let’s do
our best to go over in a big way
this year.”
No word in the vocabulary of
The American Legion and the
American Legion Auxiliary carries
more magic than the word
“POPPY.” Listen to it speak:
“I am the American Legion Aux
iliary Poppy. I am only a crepe
paper replica of my famous an-
cestors in France, the poppies of
Flanders Fields, which took root
and bloomed in the raw earth of
battle graves, providing nature’s
floral tribute to the heroic dead.
I was bom in a veterans hospital.
I am considered the memorial
flower of the entire English-speak-
ing world, and since World War
I, I have been worn annually on
Poppy Day as a symbol of rem-
embrance—- and to raise funds
for the aid of disabled veterans
and children of veterans. I have
helped brighten dreary. hospital
hours of thousands of disabled vet-
erans who have made me, contri
buting to their recovery by pro-
viding an interesting and therapeu-
tical occupation, as well as en-
abling them to send money home
to their families.
You who distribute poppies per-
form a service for others far-reach-
ing in effect, for it is a means
of assisting a child you have never
seen; guiding a crippled hand you
have never touched; teaching men
to hold their heads high in affli-
ction, as surely as though you,
an Auxiliary member, were stand-
ing by a veteran’s side.
The wearer gives evidence of
willingness to "lend a hand” in the
cause for the disabled veteran and
his .family. Countless are the ways
in which it aids the cause of those
who served their country in times
of war. Your contribution for me
is the major source of support
for the American Legion Auxiliar
ies’ continuous activities for dis-
abled veterans and needy children
of veterans. There are no cam-
paign expenses to be deduced from
the Poppy Day Contributions—all
workers are unpaid volunteers.
There Is no elaborate publicity or
advertising campaigns, all news-
paper space and radio or television
time being donated. The entire
profit of 100% is pledged to wel-
fare relief — fulfilling the true
meaning of the poppy—an emblem
of Faith—Faith which is being
kept with all who died—through
service to the living.
The Honey Grove American
Legion unit plans to sell poppies
on Veterans Day, Wednesday, Nov-
ember 11.

Clark ,are shown above.

My Ambition For Its Future.”

ember will be held Monday even-
