VOU may have heard about the
* teacher who noticed one little
boy kept drawing everything in
heavy black crayon, lie drew black
horses, black cows, black barns,
everything heavy black. Disturb-
ed about what might be going on
in the child’s mind, the teacher
calk'd a meeting of the little boy’s
parents, the school principal and
a psychiatrist. They finally got at
the root of the trouble: it was
the only crayon he had.
Which reminds me aliout the
little fellow, a son of one of the
workers at Alcoa’s Rockdale
Works, who was telling his play-
mates about the radio-active pay
his dad recently received. Yep, he
meant "retro-active.”

Club is Rockdale’s oldest and larg-

numbers about 60 members. As a
Rotation. 1 was welcomed with
open arms by the "fellow Lions'
who assured me they were happy

other "old men” long enough to
enjoy some fellowship with a
bunch ot "youngsters”.
Rockdale is fortunate in having
two such alert service clubs as the
Lions and Rotarians. The Lions
over a period of years have com-
piled a record of service to their
community. In the short time the
Rotary Club has boon in existence

too. has proved an asset to the
town. Roth clubs engage in a lot
of friendly rivalry, and both have
been fortunate in having the kind
of leadership and membership
that makes of them real service
clubs.
Sub-Conscious Mind
WEDNESDAY night 1 met with
a church group bent on set-
ting up a series of committees for
a fund campaign next month.
It was strictly business with u>
as wo went about putting down
the names or various men for com-
mittee work. The fact that in the
next room a radio was giving out
with the Mamano-Moore champ-
ionship fight did not deter us in
the least. We refused to listen and
kept working.

Dangerous Backs
Scout reports on Smithville in-
dicate they have two dangerous
back field men. Halfback Vincent
Matocha, a 140-pounder, is rated
the big wheel, lie is fast, elusive
and the favorite Smithville runner.
Directing Smithville'* split.T at-
tack is quarterback Ronald Gar-
rett. another 140-pounder. Garrett
showed Rockdale scouts last week
that he can run and pass and has
good conception of play variety.
Local scouts also say that
Smithville apparently has two full
teams which can be alternated in
units or broken up into specialists
such as pass receivers or blockers.
The Rockdale Tigers have main-
tained a surprising spirit in work-
,outs considering the fact that
they’ve spent almost two hours
against the opposition without
crossing the double stripes. The
Tigers realize that if this season
is ever to be turned from an all-
loing one into a mixture of wins
and losses, this may bo the time.
Rockdale's possible starting line-
up is: v ,
Left end—Joe Strelsky. 135.
Left tackle—Gordon Harris, 160.
