“East Lynne" for many years one
' Of the most popular dramas on the
atnge of the nation, has been made
carefully and authvnticaly by Director
Prank Movd, famous megaphone
adeltler Ann Harding. Conrad Nag* I
■ and Clive Brooke, all among the
brightest stars in moving pictures,

cast, and Mr. Tobola states that re-
port* rate “East Lynne” among the
best releases of the year. It is a Fox
Movietone Picture.
One unique feature of “East
Lynne” is that it employed more
“extra" players than any picture In
recant history. Over 4500 of Holly-
wood's “bit" playerd, among their,
former dukes, duchesses, counts and
countexsss, had part* in making this
interesting production. Over 600

St. Paul's Cathedral, Ixmdon. and an
equal number appeared during the
hall room scene. A war sequence rail-
ed for TWO actors and actresses, nnd
the Paris street scene include 1180

‘THE LIFE OF THE
PARTY”
Mayor Pro-Tem, G. B. Helton, yes-
terday issued a proclamation urging
every resident of West and communi-
ty to attend the special benefit per-
formance given by the Best Theatre
of this city on Motion Picture Day,
Tuesday, Nov. 24th. for local charity
relief. The day has beam set aside by
the motion picture industry of th*
entire country for the purpose of
raising funds for the easing of chari-
ty hardships in every city |n the na-
tion, While the campaign is being j
effected on a nationwide scale in con- !
junction with the Committee on Mob
i ilixation of Relief Resources of the
President's Organisation on charity,
the moneys collected at the special
motion picture performance in this I
city will he used solely for local re j
lief, and is sponsored by 'the West j
Chority Organisation.
This is the Mayor Pro-Tern’s proc
tarnation in full:
We have just passed through one
of the moat trying periods in the his-
tory of the country, the after-effects
of which still linger everywhere.
Hundreds of thousands of people
throughout the nation are faced with
starvation, and the winter will ad I
to their troubles that >>f keeping
warm. Many are in rags, many have
no shelter from the elements. It is
the duty of society as a %-hole to help
these unfortunates and to furnish
them with food and clothing when
ever necessary.
Therefore, I, mayor pro-tem of
the City of West, do hereby declare
Tuesday, November 24, as laical
Charity Relief Day, and request all
citixens to help the local charity or-
ganisation by attending' the benefit
performance at the Best Theatre on
that date. All the proceeds from
the show will go to help local persons
in need of charity.
Witness my hand this 18th day of
November, 1931.

ways remained one of the outstand
ing men in the pic* are industry. Ann
Harding, a former Broadway star
who deserted to the movie* and made
good, characterises the leading fem-
inine role, that of Isabel. Clive
Brooke, an Englishman by birth and
an American screen star by choice,
has another leading part, and Cecilia
Loftus and Beryl Mercer also have
prominent rolea.
In another column of this issue will
be found a proclamation issued by
mayor pro-tem, in which he urge* the
people of West to attend this per-
formance. By doing this you will
be supporting a worthy cause and
wHl be entertained at the same time.
It is hoped that the .citixens of this
community will turn out in a largo
number on Tuesday night to see a
good show and show your willingness
to help the unfortunate of this vici-
nity.
In these November days, it is entirely fit-
ting that the people of this nation cease their
activities and reflect on the blessings of Divine
Providence that have come to us, individually
and collectively, during the past twelve
months. Though we have had our difficul-
ties and disappointments, we have not been
touched by widespread disease and famine,
and we have been the recipients of the favors
of the Almighty in many ways.
We haVe food to sustain life, and the ordi
nary comforts of home. We are surrounded
by friends who will help us in time of extreme
need. We live in a city that has not been trou
bled as many others have. For all these bless
ings and for many more we are indebted, and
our hearts should be filled with gratitude to-
ward Him who rules above and manifests His
great love for us in so many ways.
Recognizing our obligations to Almighty
God, I call upon the citizens of West and ail
who are among us to cease their daily toil on
Thursday, November 26, 1931, which has
been designated as National Thanksgiving
Day. On this day each and every resident of
this city shall join with all his fellow citizens
in giving praise to the Father above for His
loving kindness and tender mercy during the
twelve months just past.
Witness my hand this 19th day of Novem-
ber, 1931.

Mayor Pro-Tern, City of West.

Charlie Noel, Gholnon
Boy, Seriously Injured
Charlie Noel, eon of Joe Noel of
the Ghoison community, was seriously
Injured Monday afternoon while pe
can Hunting near his home. Noel waa
at the foot of a large pecan tree,
while a companion was about thirty
feet up in the tree holding a quilt
frame stick. On losing his grip on
the stick the boy in the tree called
to Noel to get out of the way, but the
latter looked up at that moment and
the comer of the stick struck him on
the forehead, just above the eye. The
blow penetrated the skull. The young
man was brought to West for treat-
ment by a local physician, and was
later taken to a Waco sanitarium for
further examination Latest word
from Waco indicates that Noel is
somewhat improved.
Over 400 Persons
Attend Terracing
The largest crowd ever to attend
an agricultural demonstration in this
district were present at the Will
Girard farm near here Wednesday.
This terracing was an all-day affair,
and all who attended gained much
valuable information.
A series of terraces were built for
the benefit of the spectators. County
implements were used, and graders
were furnished by Louis Horsak and
John Zahimiak. local blacksmiths, dog, took the initiative and outplayed

Though the W>st Bulldogs won
over Moody here last Friday, they
are out of the District 13 Class B
race due to a 19 to 0 defeat at the
hands of McGregor here Wednesday
afternoon. At the present time the
locals have three victories to one de-
feat, but both McGregor and Gates-
ville are undefeated and will play
for the title on Thanksgiving Day.
Joe Pottar’s Moody Bearcats came
to this city Friday with determina-
tion in their eyes and fought the
Bulldogs to a standstill during the
first three quarters, but early in the
last period Deveny plunged over from
the 1 yard line and that was the ball
game. The Bulldogs, though sorely
pressed at times, clearly outplayed
the visitors most of the afternoon
and piled up 99 yards from scrim-
mage while the Bearcats were los-
ing eight.
The Bulldogs took the initiative,
from, the first, driving to the Moody
1 yard line before the ball went over
on downs. The Bearcats punted
back, and then due to the great work
of Captain Stallings of Moody, form-
erly of West, the locals lost 17 yards
on two playfc, being forced to kick.
The Pottermen opened up*with a lac-
rage of short passes in the second
period, King stopping the drive on
, the West 37 when he smashed
{through to slap down a lateral pass
The Bulldogs drove to the Bearcat’s
4 yard line as the half ended.
The third quarter was largely a
[ punting duel, with Deveny, kicking
for West having a alight advantage
The Bulldogs penetrated to the
Moody 16 as the period ended, and
early in the final period Deveny leap-
ed over center for the touchdown
after he and King and Fields had ad-
vanced it that far. Mashek kicked
1 for the extra point. Moody received
| the kickoff and immadiately opened
1 up with a passing attack which pene-
trated to the West 26 before Deveny
intercepted a toss to end the drive.
The Bulldogs had the ball on the
Moody 36 as the contest ended.
For the Bulldogs, the entire line
stood out with their great defensive
work, Plsek, Nemecek, Mashek and
King making most of the tackle*.
Koen played a nice game at center,
as did Ballew at guard. Stalling*
was the outstanding man on the
Bearcat defense. i
The heavy- McGregor team prac-
tically outclassed the light but fight-
ing locals Wednesday. Helped much
superior blocking, the visitors made
steady gains through the line, but
were forced to resort to passes to
gain all three touchdowns. The Bull-
dog line battled valiantly at all time*,
but were forced to bow to Mf
heavier and more experienced rivals.
McGregor scored in the first four
minuta of play on a couple of paasex
and several plunges. Here the Bull
American Legion to
Hold Big Barbecue
It w*H announced at the regular
monthly meeting of the local Boyd-
Sykora-SchiBer Post of the American
Legion Monday night that a big bar-
becue will be held at the Legion HaB
on the night of the next meeting,
Dec. 15th. All legionnaires and their
wive* and all prospective members
and their wive* will be guests at thia
barbecue.
There wilt be plenty of refresh-
ment* for all at this tima. Too, a
program will be presented to go
along with the eats, and everyone ia
assured of a moat enjoyable time.
Also on this night, all who attend
are requested to bring some article to
help to decorate the hall. Due to the
financial condition of the post, the
legionnaire* have been unable to de-
corate their meeting place as they
wish, and it ha* been decided to hold
a “shower” on this night in order to
further beautify the room. Any ar-
ticle which would add to the attrac-
tiveness of the hall, such as an aah
tray, a curtain, a chair or anything
cf this kind, can be brought All
those who come are urged to bring
something with them.
A short business meeting will also
lie held, and one very important
question will come up. A vote of the
members will be conducted so aa to
learn their feelings toward the bonus
question. This question ha* been
much debated throughout the putts
of the country, and officials of the
West post wish to find how their
fellow townsmen feel in regard to
the matter. The proposition will read
a* follows: “Do you favor the im-
mediate payment of the bonus due
the soldiers, or do you favor the pay-
ment at some future data?**
The occasion of this meeting will
provide all who attend with plenty of
barbecue ami amusement. All mem-
bers of the post, some sixty in num-
ber, their wive* everyone »ligib*e —

are urged to come out on thia night
and enjoy a good time.

The
We»t-Mart Game Will
Be Played Wednesday
Coach H. J. Koseiski announced
Tuesday that the West-Mart game,
which was scheduled to ha played in
Mart, has been transferred to this
city and will he reeled of here next
Wednesday, Nov. 26th. It eras said
that the fact that Mart ia out -of the
race would cut down the attendance
here.

teams met here last year tfid drew

score remained 6 to 0, but early in
the final period one of the Elms boys
cracked right tackle for the score.
Later in the period, after a series at
penalties for both sides, Mansker
passed over the goal line to Morris
Elms for the final marker.
Though outweighed in the line and
baclcfield, the local squad put up a
great Fight against overwhelming
odds. Koen at center and Plsek and
Ballew at guards were ia practically
every play, and the ends and tackles
smacked through at times to smother
the opponents. The backs did good
work, but were entirely too small to
knock down passes to the taller Mc-
Gregor lads.
On next Wednesday, Nov. 25th, the
locals take on the Mart squad here.
It will be the final game of the
season for the locals. At thia time
they have exactly the same record
a* this time last year, with 6 wins
and 2 losses. If they win Wednesday
they will better last year’s percent-
age. If they lose the percentage will
be the same. Come nut and help the
boy* with your support!
