MOFFETT OFFERS LIGHT
ON NEW VOTING LAWS
The News has received the follow-
ing communication from State Senator
George Moffett, of this district con-
cerning the much discussed soldier
voting amendment to the state con-
stitution of which Senator Moffett
is the author. His statement follows:
“About 40 years ago the people
of Texas, by a substantial •majority,
voted for an amendment to the state
constitution which levied a poll tax
as a prerequisig for voting. Most of
the money derived went to the pub-
lic schools. At that time, persons
in the Army or Navy could not vote
in this state. Sentiment has chang-
ed and in Auguist, 1945, the people
by a heavy majority, adopted another
amendment to the constitution which
provides that persons in the armed
services of the United States, in time
of war, may vote without paying a
poll tax, while still in the service.
they are likewise qualified as to age,
residence, etc. Therefore, all that a
Texas veteran now has to do, if he is
of legal age is to go to the polls in
his home precinct and ask for a bal-
lott. If he is a stranger to the elec-
tion judge, the latter may require, if
he so desires that the prospective
voter execute an affidavit as to age.
residence and military service. This
is nothing new, as the law has au-
thorized it for many years where a
person has lost his poll tax receipt
There’s nothing complicated about
this amendment. It simply says that
an individual now in the service or
recently discharged therefrom can
vote without a poll tax receipt, if he
is otherwise a qualified voter. The
idea of a special exemption certifi-
cate was discarded by the legislature
because the four million boys still in
the service, who will be back in July,
are now scattered all over the world.
It • would be most inconvenient for
them to secure an exemption certifi-
cate before the dead line arrives on
February 1.”

Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Stewart and
daughter, Bebe, arrived Wednesday
night from Illinois, where Charlie has
been employed by the Baker Oil Tool
company. Due to Charlie’s illness it
required from Monday ’til late Wed-
nesday to make the trip home. It
was necessary, Mrs. S. said, to make
two stops en riute and put the ailing
Stewart to bed. He has spent the
past couple of weeks in an Illinois
hospital with an ear ailment.
They have been transferred to
Odessa but will remain here at their
home until Charlie gets off his ears

CAMPFIRE GIRLS PLAN
PROGRAM FOR SIX WEEKS
i—Agent C. W. Wilho t and
Home Demonstration Agent Robin
Harbin attended a 4-H club meeting
in Megargel Wednesday.
i Program plans for the next six
weeks were made by the Tawanka
Camp Fire group at their regular
meeting Friday afternoon. First Aid,
council fire, hand craft and commun-
ity service found their places in the
plans. Assistance with the March of
* Dimes for infantile paralysis headed
: the list in community service.
A class in Red Cross First Aid
was conducted Tuesday afternoon at
the fire station by Mr. and Mrs. John
Robinson. The girls were very en-
thusiastic in applying splints and
bandages and in learning what to do
in case of simple fracture. The group
voted to meet each Tuesday after-
noon after school for further investi-
gation into the mysteries of how to
get the victim of an accident to the
doctor in the best condition possible.
Those present on Friday and Tues-
day afternoons were Mary Joyce Ma-
lone, Joyce Ensey, Delores Burney,
Shirley Riddle, Bonnie Mae Pickard,
Betty Jo Bowen, Nancy Gay Burk-
hart, Patsy Pryor. Beth Mosley, Vet
Robinson and Ann Prideaux.

MISCELLANEOUS SHOWER
GIVEN FOR NEW BRIDE
A lovely miscellaneous shower hon-
oring Mrs. Emil Loest, Jr., was an
event of Saturday, January 19, at the
Amity clubhouse with Mesdames Ben
Page, Bill Mosley, Luther Kirkland,
Pascal Gcsler and E. H. Trigg as co-
hestesses. Mesdames Gosler and Mos-
ley greeted guests and Mrs. J. S.
Melugin, grandmother of the honoree,
registered them at the beautiful
bride's book which she had made and
painted and which contained a de-
lightful poem to the bride, composed
and read by Mrs. Melugin.
In the absence of the honoree, who
was called to California Thursday on
account of the illness of her sister,
the bride’s sister-in-law, Mrs. Lee
Roseland, assembled the array of
handsome gifts for keeping until
Margaret can return home.
Little Miss Ann Prideaux gave
two piano selections: Chopin’s “Polo-
naise’’ and Mokowski’s “Sparks.” Miss
Hales Heard read Vwo deligbful se-
lections from Ted Malone’s Scrap-
book, “Another Bride” and “Psalm
for a Good Marriage.”
Mrs. Emil Loest, Sr., presided at
the punch bowl from a beautifully
appointed white linen-covered table
which held a centerpiece of lovely
white chrysanthemums. Mesdames
Trigg, Kirkland and Page assisted
with the serving.
The poem Which Mrs. Melugin
wrote to her granddaughter follows:
Just eighteen short sumniers ago.
Yet, to me, it seems just yesterday,
There came a tiny, lovely baby girl,
Into on:
May each page be so filled with ro-
mance and love
That it can be read again with «ou-
stant delight.
Due to Margaret’s unforseen ab-
sence on this occasion, a highlight in
the embarkment of a bride’s voyage
on the sea of matrimony, she wrote
a note of appreciation which was read
at the shower. The note follows:
“I want to thank each and every
one of you for being here today. I'm
sure al! of you know bow terribly I
want to be with you. But due to
conditions beyond my control, it i»
necessary for me to be absent. I
know that my shower has been won-
derful because I know the people in
Archer City. My deepest thaqks to
my hostesses and all of you.
Margaret and Emil."

L. R. Roll entered the Archer hos-
pital this morning to take penicillin
shots to cure asthma from which he
has been suffering the past several
days. *
*1
Her eyes were as brigbt as two little
stars.
Her prattle was music, no music so
sweet,
Her stored up energy was soon re-
leased
By the constant patter of her tiny
feet. ,
Today she has those same bright eyes.
Made brighter by love’s warm flame.
The music in her soul is made sweet-
er
By sharing with her sweetheart, his
name.
Margaret:
You very well know that Big Man
loves you
There’s nothing too good for you thru
life.
I love Emily too, and I know he loves
you
And I want you to make him a won-
derful wife.
And when you two together have
turned the last page
Of the book you are beginning to
write
HEAR YE! HEAR YE!
